    Great show. Sold out. Standing room only. His band was tight. He’s an excellent performer and Steve Stevens was incredible (his technique and accuracy with flamenco, blues, and so many styles was amazing. He even played some zeppelin (part of “going to California” and intro to “Stairway to Heaven” in one of his solos, too).

    Same here. Over crowded, but great show.🤘🏼

    Iggy Pop was terrific tonight. 100% adrenalized rock 'n' roll. Chad Smith on drums, Duff McKagen on bass, two guitar players and a keyboardist...and Slash came on for the encore of "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and "Louie Louie".

    Awesome!! Looks like it was an awesome show!! Only in LA! 🤘🏼🎸🤘🏼

    The left is destroying this country in the name of equity while simultaneously telling people that they are saving it.  Does it look like they are saving anything to you? Everything they are doing is meant to kill the middle class so that everyone but them will end up equal and by equal they mean all people will be equally poor and like it or else.  The big lie is that a man can become a real woman just by saying so.  If you'll go along with that then you'll go along with anything they say.

    Without the USA and all of our rights they cannot finish their take over of the world. Because we won't stand for it. That's why they want our guns. So we cannot resist when the military comes to arrest you for disagreeing withier bullshit.

    :hysterical: I cannot believe you actually believe the bullshit you spew. You must be paid to make statements like this. Or stupid as fuck. 🤷🏻

    Tucker has now been fired from every cable news network. I really hope they run for President in 2024. Let the swine tear each other apart. 

    A proven liar of monumental proportions join the GQP primary circus? Birds of a feather...

    From a 2014 interview with Jimmy Page:

    Has any of this kind of material been lost over the years?

     

    Yes. I had a home demo of The Rain Song (from Houses Of The Holy). but unfortunately the tapes have been lost. Which is a real bastard.

     

    **Was this a fully formed version of the song?**

     

    Yes. I literally had the full piece from beginning to end. I had the Mellotron idea and everything on it. But the version of The Rain Song on the new companion disk is a really cool one. It's got less piano on it, so you get more of the guitar textures. I really like the version that we did on (1976 live album) The Song Remains The Same. I thought we were working it really well. These songs, you see, they're recorded and they come out on an album, and then they were included in the live set, and they would start to mutate. That was what was so good about it. So the live version on The Song Remains The Same is quite different to how it is on the studio version.

     

    **Does that explain why Led Zeppelin was a one-band bootleg industry?**

     

    At one point I think it was (laughs). But that's the thing with doing concerts differently every night, you see.

    From a 2020 Rolling Stone interview:

     

    Have you discovered any new recordings since completing the box-sets project?

     

    I recently found a really early [personal demo] tape that had been missing for a long while, but it's got the full orchestration of "Rain Song." It goes all through to the very end, the same way that you know it, even with the bit in the middle where it goes a bit heavier, before it goes back the the light and caressing parts. It's all in there, the Mellotron and everything. And it's not played as well, like the John Paul Jones version, because I knew he could do a really good job on it. But it''s there, every part of it, every phrase is there, slightly different. And then you hear things that didn't get used.

    Well that explains it! Thanks for posting this. Glad Jimmy found the tape....

    I remember when we drove out to St. Pete Beach, there was a small bridge that charged a toll.  So I guess it depends on how he gets off the island part and into St Pete proper. 

    I agree that Clearwater isn't far from anything.  I just don't know why he (or anyone) would want to go to Clearwater after spring training is over...  ;) 

    St Pete beach is south of Treasure Island so you do have to take that toll bridge. As far as Clearwater, I love their beaches…it’s overpriced for sure. But, The Columbia restaurant is fab there!

    I loved the Ruth's Chris in Beverly Hills but it sadly closed during the covid shutdown. There is one in Pasadena but it is not quite the same. Two of my other favourite steakhouses have closed lately: The Palm Steakhouse on Santa Monica Blvd. next to the Troubadour Club and Dan Tana's and the Pacific Dining Car near downtown. For great steaks now, I mainly go to Musso & Frank Grill in Hollywood, Taylor's Steakhouse in the Mid-Wilshire district, or Dan Tana's. If I am in Pasadena, I'll go to Ruth's Chris or Alexander's Steakhouse. If I am on a budget, then I'll go to the Original Pantry downtown or Damon's in Glendale.

    Ruth's Chris is not nearly as good down here as it used to be. The one by Reagan Airport in DC was great when I was up there. Is it still around, ebk?

    Also, @LedZeppfan77, if you're looking for a great steak while you're in Tampa Bay area.... Bern's Steakhouse is the BEST around and terrific atmosphere!! Gotta make reservations early on though.
