  1. Yes, it would seem that based on SAJ's description half of the new releases would fall into the category of "original back catalog" since those songs are being re-released in the same fashion as they were already released. The companion disc material might not, especially the live material, again based on that description....
  2. Distant Early Warning Better early Page guitar: Painted Fender used live in 68/69 or Black Beauty Gibson used live, sparingly, until stolen in '70?
  3. That is so incredibly sad and horrific, planted. Many prayers go out to their families and co-workers.
  4. Jaguars are the best bet to move out to LA, IMO.
  5. Absolutely they could've been, I was only posting that line in response to the earlier post. Sept/Oct/Nov who knows? Hopefully one day WE will, without doubt and speculation.
  6. Happy Birthday aen!!! Hope you are having a good one!
  7. Yes a HUGE prayer for Jim Kelly and his family..... Plus I just saw that Ralph Wilson Sr. has passed away - RIP.
  8. I believe SAJ's statement about the date of signing with Atlantic. But why would their even beza statement about live recordings be made. when enroute to America to sign a deal, if nothing was recorded? The date of signing a contract is precise, that fact of shows being recorded is only speculative until physical evidence is clear. Bur why would it have even been mentioned, it doesn't make the story any better from the book's standpoint? It makes perfect sense for Jimmy to record some of those shows, given the circumstances - especially with the financial aspect taken into account.

    They are replaying the Dayton/Syracuse game right now, even worse than Saturday night.... Edit to say I had forgotten how bad a call the refs made with about 35 seconds to go, with the Daton player trapped at their baseline, moving his pivot foot all over the place and falling out of bounds - while calling time out (which is not legal, btw).....makes me sick!
  10. Kinda like what "The Boss"'s kid is doing to us Yankee fans! Anyway, nice to see Miami limping along....(sorry Paul).
  11. This discussion made me decide to crack open Chris Welch's book on Peter Grant (The Man Who Led Zeppelin) and beginning on page 61 the discussion of Peter trying to find work for the New Yardbirds begins with Peter finding, "much to his chagrin that nobody wanted to book his boys and nobody wanted to sign them to a record label". Recalled Grant bitterly: "Pye Records laughed me out of their office. I went to see their boss Louis Benjamin and asked him for an advance. The figure was £17,500. He just said: 'You've got to be joking.'" He also talked to Mo Ostin at Warner Bros, who at least knew Jimmy from his session work, but was once again shown the door. On page 67, the pursuit of a record deal continued with the following passage: When Zeppelin played at Exeter City Hall for £125 on December 19, their manager was en route to America, clutching the tapes for their first Led Zeppelin album, together with the complete artwork and some 'live' recordings from gigs. His plan was to secure a worldwide deal for Led Zeppelin. According to Mickie Most, "I was up in the office at 155 Oxford Street when I heard the first tracks they had done and they were brilliant. We started making the the album and then Atlantic heard what was going on. Peter got hold of Ahmet Ertegun....Peter went to Atlantic, they gave him a deal and the rest is history". So apparently there were 'live' tracks involved, whether they were from the Scandanavian tour or not seems to be the mystery of the quotient...
  12. Well its not like anyone else could hit a three- pointer, weren't they 0-8 before the last shot? Plus who called that last timeout? I still never saw who on Syracuse did that, so they didn't have any time to draw up a play. Their problem was what I had been saying all year, nobody was a consistent scorer. The last 10 games or so, they couldn't put together any offensive continuity. Ennis just tried to go to that magical shot well once too many times. CJ Fair was never a go to guy and Cooney was a headcase by the end of season. What are you gonna do? Tough ending to what appeared to be a promising season....
