The vocal bleed in "Babe, I'm Going to Leave You".
The cough at the beginning of "Whole Lotta Love".
The tape hiss at the beginning of Led Zeppelin III.
The drum pedal squeak in "Since I've Been Loving You".
The intake of breath at the beginning of "Going to California".
The telephone in "The Ocean".
The cough at the end of "In My Time of Dying".
The airplane in "Black Country Woman".
The list is long.
The “stop” in “Out on the Tiles”

They probably made a typo in the text
Maybe but it’s a direct quotation so you would assume they used a recording device to get it down correctly.

Oh. I thought a David Bowie concert in '78 drew like 30,000 people.
This is accurate and taken from the following link...
”After the 1993 expansion of the arena's seating capacity Jimmy Page and Robert Plant set the all time Civic Arena concert attendance record drawing 17,764 fans for their appearance on March 25 1995.”

Still, I think they would've chosen a Philadelphia date over Pittsburgh. Also, the Pittsburgh Civic Arena was very flexible, and could take up to 30,000 people. Knowing Led Zeppelin, they maybe would've performed to 25,000 people.
Naw bro, I grew up in Pittsburgh and the maximum concert attendance indoors there was about 18,000. I think Plant/Page drew about that much in 1995 and that was the max ever held at the civic arena. I was too young in 1975 to see LZ but I’ve seen a lot of shows there and no way could it have seated 25,000 or more people

I've seen JPJ in an interview somewhere where he says they were chuffed about the EU 1980 tour and felt like they were just beginning to build back up into something. I can't source that, but I am sure SAJ or others know the one.
So it seems there was still the feeling of comradery among them and that they were happy with what was developing. But I still think (speculate) without Peter Grant getting his shit together and Jimmy also cleaning up, there were significant dangers to their health, and no question to their legacy had they proceeded with a US tour.
JPJ did an interview in 2003 with a Swedish journalist (on YT). Might be what you’re referring to. In it, he says in 1980 there was a renewed optimism in the band, that they had come out of the worst time and that they were leaner and more musically sharp and were looking forward to the ‘80s.

Cool....Looks like Peter and he currently lives in Nashville... -
Once you become successful as an artist, and you don’t have that hunger of striving to “make it,” you become someone total different. Great artists are always chasing their ghosts. But you can never be what you once were.

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/led-zeppelin-stairway-to-heaven-retrial-879298/
Trial begins today. One troubling aspect is that instead of being held in Los Angeles like the prior trial, this one is being held in the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco...the same Ninth Circuit that voided the previous trial verdict and ordered the retrial.
The DOJ is weighing in on Led Zeppelin's side.
No, this is not the trial. This is oral argument on the appeal in front of the entire Ninth Circuit en banc panel. The appeals court decision ordering a retrial based on error has been vacated and this new panel will be deciding the appeal by Skidmore...

Well that's obvious Eagles, old Robert used Gee...You're Hair Smells Terrific! Shampoo.
I thought it was Body on Tap, that beer-infused shampoo....although I’d guess he was using the hemp and coke infused version...

The law and it's application is horrible at the moment. Here are two more examples that amount to copyrighting basic musical elements.
Katy Perry vs. Flame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ytoUuO-qvg
Ed Sheeran vs. Marvin Gaye: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kt1DXu7dlo
If musicians want to avoid being sued like this, the only option is to not make new original music.
Yeah, it's horrible all around, but it's also one thing to be making new music under the current law and application, and it's another thing for a 50-year-old composition to be suing a 48-year-old composition and applying current standards...not just horrible, but ridiculous....

What were his thoughts on the Infinite Monkey Theorum?
Jimmy's life's work was releasing ten original Led Zeppelin albums...then spending the rest of his life remastering them.
Lol...infinite monkeys, butterfly effects....one person’s painting of every number to infinity and the other’s remastering their oeuvre to infinity...sweet...whatever gives them purpose....who cares, you don’t have to spend money on it...but the fact that there’s a website dedicated to Jimmy’s life work and both of us are on it, pretty much tells you all you need to know...

Led Zeppelin was Jimmy’s life work and he was always striving to catch the essence of it his whole life. Nothing wrong with that. He’s like the Polish painter Roman Opalka who’s life work was painting the numbers one through infinity and trying to find different ways to express that. Opalka acknowledged that the body of his work was that one single thing. The last number he painted was like 5, 607, 000 or something. Jimmy’s problem was that, unlike an infinite set of numbers, there were a very limited set of musicians who could be and do what he wanted. He was very very lucky to catch that once. It’s ok because most of us will never have even that. You should feel joy for him, not sadness.

I’m not a big fan yet. Forget the LZ comparisons or borrowings, their songwriting leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. There are other contemporary rock bands that produce better songs. In my opinion, if you’re going to borrow the sounds of 70s classic rock, your songwriting better be up to snuff because those were amazing songs, and you’ll suffer in comparison. I hope they move on and find their own sound. My two cents.

Whoever edited the video deserves some kind of award. The mimicked live footage is spot on and the whole feel and attitude of the song is represented perfectly, right down to the underwater swamp footage. I think this video is a hidden gem in the Zep catalog and is just as noteworthy as any t-shirt or poster.
I might be mistaken, but I don’t believe his video was created by the Zeppelin camp. It was created for a MTV Zep weekend celebration coinciding with the release of the 1990 box set. I always believed at the time that it was done by MTV.

Notice how he says Peter Grant wasn't with him when they went to see Obs-tweedle in July '68, which contradicts most previous accounts (Wall, Salewicz etc) that say three of them went to the gig: him, Grant & Chris Dreja.
The license to misremember things or to make up **** gets expanded the older one gets and the more drugs one has done....
