One of my favorites; thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I mean, just being honest, I am a regular partaker of MJ and have never had the desire to try anything else. Of course, the plural of "anecdote" is not "data", hehe. Also, while it can be difficult to extrapolate one country's results to another (due to cultural norms, population size and composition, etc), one only needs to look at Portugal as a positive example of what happens when all drugs are decriminalized.

^^^ HAHAHA!!!

Not sure if opioids are as big an issue in the UK as in the US, but it has been proven that in states where medical and recreation MJ has been legalized, opioid use / abuse has dropped sharply.

Got a text once from my next door neighbor... "I have to borrow your bolt cutters, NOW!"

My brother lives in Denver and the legalization of marijuana there has been fantastic for the economy. Not a panacea, for sure, but a great boost.

Get Off My Cloud - Rolling Stones

It fluctuates depending on my mood. PG and III are up there for me though.

Probably true

HA!! Shitty people putting out shitty music! Regarding the Robert - Maureen - Shirley love triangle, I believe Robert was with Shirley first. Then he got Maureen pregnant and married her, so going back to Shirley years after divorcing Maureen isn't so out of reach. I've seen photos of all of the kids together with Robert, so I don't know how much bad blood / resentment there is. People are different regarding openness and tolerance levels, so you can't really judge someone else's relationships by your own standards. And time is a great healer.

I think it stems entirely from jealousy. Of course, people's tastes differ, but I think the Stones and the Who are great bands, and they had quite a bit of success before Zep ever came on the scene, so naturally one could see there's a bit of "who're these wankers??"... add to that their financial success thanks to Peter Grant and of course a bunch of 20-something famous guys couldn't stand them

Just gave them a listen and I really dig them! I was just lamenting to Mr. EaglesOfOneNest that there has been no good new music since the '90's... glad I was wrong!

Live shows cost so much more money now because that's the only way the artist makes any money.

What's wrong with Supertramp? They're great! The singer has a fantastic voice

LOTS of Rush fans here!

Yes, agreed! It starts off great, I wish they would have worked that opening riff back in somewhere a few times.

There are other bands besides Led Zeppelin? HAHA. I also like Jimi Hendrix, the Who, the Stones, the Doors, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Metallica, a local band called Modernage, Rush, Eric Clapton and related bands, Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Willie Nelson, V.A.S.T. I think the musical pickings are slim after the '90's and dont really care for much music produced after the '70's (exception is Rush, of course!)

I agree that the JBLZE show is really fantastic and totally worthwhile even though it's a "cover band". FWIW, I paid about ~$50 for floor seats at the Hard Rock arena in Hollywood, FL. We were very close to the stage and it was awesome. I have no idea what the non-floor tickets were going for (less, obviously), but I had seen a comedian (Russell Peters, worth it if he brings his show to a city near you!) at the venue a few months earlier and the stadium seating was really terrible regarding the view of the stage, etc. I am OK with paying more for a smaller venue versus than a large arena... in the days of my youth (hehe), I saw plenty a show a Madison Square Garden and the Meadowlands in NYC / NJ and sure, you could see a big name band for $18 or something, but the seats were so far away and the acoustics were meh. It's worth the extra money if you have it to get closer seats (or even farther away seats) in a smaller venue, and since there are fewer tickets sold, of course, they have to charge more. I saw Phil and Friends at a theater in Montclair, NJ a few years ago and we were all the way in the back but still much closer to the stage that I ever got when I went to Grateful Dead arena shows back in the '80s and early '90s.

Wow, what a set list. I LOVE Down by the Seaside and TYG is my all-time favorite. I saw the JBLZE in 2016 in his backyard here in South Florida with Tony Catania. Tony was fantastic; I can only imagine how Mr. Jimmy is going to take the show to the next level. I hope he brings the tour here to South Florida again!

Interesting and probably correct. I got free tickets a few years ago to see some '90's like Gin Blossoms or something (don't judge! Tickets were free, it was an outdoor event and the weather was beautiful) and the guitar player had a different guitar for each song. Each one!! His guitar tech came out between songs and handed him a new guitar; you could see them all lined up and ready to go at the back of the stage. That seemed really excessive for such a mediocre band!

Presence is one of my favorite Zep albums, if only for Achilles (a tour de force!) and Nobody's Fault But Mine. Can I admit here that Tea For One is the only and I mean ONLY Zep song that I dislike? I already debated the various merits of it with some folks on another thread. Everything else on that album is pure, awesome Zep; you cannot pigeonhole them!

OK, I was JUST thinking about this the other day. I recently discovered a renewed appreciation for CODA. Wouldn't call it Zep's greatest, or the greatest "last" album, but it's pretty damn good, especially the re-mastered 1994 release

Wonderful photos!!! Thanks for sharing. I barely remember when going to the movies was a big deal... would have been great to see TSRTS in the theater!
