Holy Cr@p, this GTBT operner from the o2 is freeking awesome. YARRRrrrrghhhh!
-
I'd like to shine a light on "Work Progress 12-10-2007" as a utoob search term. This is a fairly new version, sounds great on headphones, excellent camera editing.
I'd post a link, but the poster didn't put the bands name which is his way of saying 'Don't post links' as far as I'm concerned.

saw this on facebook today.
sopposed to be a quote from jason, but i am a bit puzzled by what he says .... i thought it was a tribute to his father, but he says he is ( also? ) doing it to attract jp, rp and jpj to join him onstage. i mean, of course i can understand him wanting that ( most of us do too! ), but he says "that's what i'm doing this for "

"I'm not going to hide it from them," Bonham, who filled his late father John "Bonzo" Bonham's spot and played with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones at the 2007 Zep reunion concert at London's O2 arena, tells Billboard.com. "I will invite them to every show I can, because my goal and dream is, 'Wouldn't it be cool if I did something that they thought was cool and they would get up and play with me?' That's what I'm doing (this) for. I'd love it."
Uh oh. Zeppelin disappointments don't feel good. Hope his emotional steel is up to strength. Jimmy can talk to Robert through the press when they are out of phase, but can Jason talk to the lads? I haven't forgotten about Black Country, even though, just like I was afraid of, Dream Theater has come to call. That's what happens when you jam with Joe Satriani.

I've also seen a Simpson's episode where Flanders says something like," Well just call me, Ned Zeppelin!"
Sounds like you haven't seen the side split-tingly funny episode where Otto the metal head school bus driver drives the school bus into the ocean.
He only has enough air to say one last thing. With is last breath he says "Zeppelin Rules". I was watching with friends that were well aware of my strange LZ obsession, and it was like I was Otto and he was me. If I could die from laughing, that would have done it.
But today's LZ in unrelated places is on the Colbert Report. I found a link to the excerpt here
The Zep mention is about half-way through a five minute clip. Funny how Zep has gone so mainstream. Seems like the "shark episode" is Americana now. I never thought Colbert would have much to say 'bout that.
-
I was wondering about the guitar and bass on the video clip that is the official Jason Bonham website splash page.
Is that Bonamassa Hughs?
Sounding pretty good.
-
oh brother. I thought he was joining an original new British band. This is moving in the wrong direction. I want to see Jason make new drum patterns for new music. I already know about Zeppelin. Ugh. I hope his handlers keep him out of LA. Just Say No to Camp Freddy!

So he played the Paul on this tour. Man. I dreamed at night about the Paul in 1984, and thought Jimmy was done with blazing leads forever. To me, the brown tele represented weakness, remorseful sloppy solos with no mids or bottom tonality. I learned tp appreciate the B string bender vocabulary years after he stopped using it. Then I would listen to my 7" of "Together" when no roomates were around to catch me in my moment of sap. Back in the day I would have killed to see Page unleash the Paul. I bought every mag that carried a pic of Live-Aid Page w/Paul.

Albini is a live band guy. It takes road work to make a good "live feel" type album like Surfer Rosa was for the Pixies. Robert in particular didn't do the road work that it took to correctly apply his vocal range and energy until well after the record was out. By the time I saw em' in Boston and Mansfield, the vocals were loud and proud. At Mansfield, of the three new songs they played, 2 were treated like highlights of the show by the audience, Most High and WiC. If Albini had a band that sounded like the Mansfield band, then he would have had a multi-platinum animal in the recording den.

on NPR.org from: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...ft=1&f=1021
went like this:
Most of it was garbage. None of it had been corroborated or screened. But it went directly to the President and his advisers, who are not intelligence experts. That's when mistakes got made." Others who saw the same intelligence reports found the experience mind-altering. It was "like being stuck in a room listening to Led Zeppelin music," said Jim Baker, former head of the Counsel in the Department of Justice's Office of Intelligence Policy and Review. Readers suffered "sensory overload" and became "paranoid." Former Deputy Attorney General James Comey believed that the cumulative effect turned national security concerns into "an obsession."

Oh god, its so mean yet so funny at the same time ! Do you know what episode its from?
Anyway, I was playing the Simpsons game when at one point the Simpsons had to go talk to God, so Lisa built a way to heaven and said "Come on guys, I've built a Stairway to Heaven." and Otto holds his hands up in a rock sign and says "Awesome!! I hope the stores aren't all closed" Honestly, I knew it was gonna come but to hear that just made my day !!
Do you remember the Simpsons episode where Otto the bus driver crashes the bus into the ocean and the last thing he says before getting swallowed by the drink is "Zeppelin Rules!!". The first time I saw that, I had to make sure the laughter was coming out the right hole.

Good to know they came off better in concert as their two records really did sound quite polished.
I remember searching high and low for this back in the day.
A Radioactive (Vocal / Special Extended Remix) (5:52)
Written By - Rodgers*
B1 City Sirens (4:27)
Written By - Edwards* / Page*
B2 Live In Peace (5:10)
Written By - Rodgers*
I have that too! I was after City Sirens. Seems to me that's from the same show they broadcast in 1984 on WBCN Boston before the first LP came out. Hammersmith Odeon.
I didn't notice Cadillac until I saw a 1986 tour vid and they tore it up. Now that's my favorite Firm song. IMHO this is the closest they sound to headiness of Zeppelin.

OMG! if
isn't the new Hobbit Rock, I'll stop shaking the Keebler Tree, right now.no really. it's pretty heavy. my gf has been at me to look them up all day.. right, once again.
-
Can anyone shine any light on this please?
Does it exist?
You've got 3 official versions to choose from
1)TSRTS on VHS from the 80's
2)TSRTS on original LP, different in several edits and track list
3)TSRTS Soundtrack re-release, different from previous 2 versions in edits and track list
There are also several unofficial recordings of their three night stay @ M.S.G 1973
The fan version is the one you make according to your preferences.
My preference in this period is their smoking cover versions of Elvis, James Brown beats etc.

Led Zeppelin and Detroit in the Depression?

aw jeezus, there's a freakin Swan Song poster as the camera backs out of the Station night-club.
Why did I watch that again?

Fox news, under the heading "Chavez Sings". Whole lotta bad taste, Robert gets honorable mention at 1 minute 30 seconds

There was a documentary on PBS today, about 2 travelers retracing the sea and land routes of Marco Polo. My ears perked up when they played Kashmir. Hope they got permission, as I never hear Zep on television (sports excluded). It was well used, and a good inspiring program.
-
"SIRIUS XM Radio To Launch Channel Dedicated To Led Zeppelin."
It's only going to work if they can play bootlegs, solo stuff, Yardbirds etc.
Let's hope they have an expansive focus with the format.

How do I tell Jimmy @ Sheperton from Jimmy @ MSG?
(I'll take an answer from anyone)
-
Yeah read his very last sentence.
duh.. selective comprehension, I guess.
-
Hey I know we all want to know this but the questions have to relate to TSRTS.
Are you sure? I re-read the Sam's initial post.. The focus doesn't seem so iron clad to me.
Anyway, TSRTS is so well dissected and documented, anything I wanted to know about it has already been discussed. I'd love to have the O2 on LP though. It's good enough.
-
What is the likelihood of a DVD/LP release of the O2 show?
-
thanks Luke...no the post isn't a joke./
I think I've gotten the correct info.....the piece I am looking for is the back cover of your top row (middle) cover. (technically the "a' cover)
It looks to me like all the front covers have the color swatch and the back covers don't. (basing this on the three I have at home)
These covers have evolved for me in a very interesting way....when I was 16 and well...on LSD (hangs head in shame....well, slight shame) I was just blown away by all the compositional brilliance Storm put into these.....The layouts and positioning of everything would make Stanley Kubrick proud....it's really an unbelievable feat and must have taken days to design and organize...I feel like very little in the photo of the messy bar was "left to chance" instead most items and even all the papers and down to glasses and just littlest detail was carefully placed, lit, and then shot.
now as a working artist for some 15 years I appreciate these covers even more today...
I have 3 of them and I am just going to get them all...I think this and Houses of Holy are the two greatest album covers of all time (the inner sleeve/spread on Houses is also just an incredible image)
thanks for all the posts!
ricH
In addition to the flame burning out I think the color swatch represents the original inner sleeve of the album which appears to be black and white but turns to water colors if you moisten it with saliva or water.
