Been a while since I put a pic up methinks, I'm on the left smoking:
-
Not the greatest version but I do like to break it out from time to time, Bonzo in particular seems to get pretty lost during Jimmy's solo. This was an off night for both of them, with reports of Jimmy having to be carried off the stage and him dropping the doubleneck with a roadie catching it in the nick of time!
I've had the Texas Hurricane 22/5/77 newly surfaced sbd on pretty constant rotation the last week or so, being the '77 fanatic I am!

In the past few months, I binged on a lot of my classic sitcom favorites--Bewitched, Sanford and Son, Get Smart, plus my usual doses of the Three Stooges and watching both seasons of the old Abbott and Costello tv show.
It's left me to wonder what I should dive into next--I was thinking, it's been awhile since I binged on Frasier, maybe that will be my next thing to do in the coming months...
I've been watching Frasier recently non-stop on netflix. I was too young to catch most of it when it aired live but what from what I remembered it was a great show, I wasn't mistaken. Can't get enough! Unfortunately I'm on the home stretch now (season 10), life just isn't gonna be thje same once I've finished it.

Watch this go over like a lead balloon.
O2 is NOT Led Zeppelin. It was a beautiful tribute to and celebration of Led Zeppelin. LZ ended abruptly with the departure of John Bonham. To pick a best ever LZ performance from that concert shows a serious lack of respect not only for Bonham's contributions but also for the surviving members who felt they "couldn't go on as they once were". Yeah, they were billed as Led Zeppelin at that concert. That doesn't change the fact that Bonham wasn't there. I always felt that not replacing a fallen member was one of the things that elevated Zep above some of their contemporaries (I won't say "WHO"). Zep wasn't a band you could just reload. And picking a best performance based on sound quality? Huh? Do yourself a favor and put the '75 soundboards away for awhile and spend some quality time with the Third European Tour.
That said, Kashmir from Cologne 6-18-80 recently caught me by surprise. Check it out. It's my new fav.
I for one think Roger and Pete still do justice to their back catalogue, and they clearly enjoy playing the songs and playing together, nothing wrong with that. I'm really looking forward to the forthcoming Quadrophenia tour live release, unfortunately they didn't tour it in my part of the world, I would have loved to have seen that show. If people still enjoy seeing them live and they still are willing and able, plus enjoy it I don't see the problem.
On the subject of the O2 one off show, the surviving members were compelled to do the show out of respect for Ahmet Ertegun who had given the band their start and artistic freedom which came to define the records. John encouraged Jason to play the drums when he was still alive, he even played on the Knebworth soundcheck during Trampled Underfoot. I really don't understand how you can say that the O2 was disrespectful to Bonzo and the rest of the band, they clearly loved playing with each other again and Bonzo would have been thrilled to see his son up there playing the shit out of those drums.

Yeah taylor is still with them, ill be seeing him with them on april 5th here in auckland, cant wait will be a dream come true! The setlist was pretty standard fare, no real surprises although keith is playong slipping away during his set which is pretty cool.
-
Indeed they did. First was the traditional final bow with everyone lined up followed by a final bow with just Mick, Keith, Charlie & Ronnie together.
Mick Taylor isn't included in the final bow like the 50 & counting shows?
-
I assume you're StonedinTokyo on iorr steve?
-
The Perth show is awesome, but they totally balls up Gimme Shelter. Don't know why they didn't just restart the song.
-
Yeah these guys are sweet. I got turned onto them by Grand Theft Auto V of all things!
-
To be honest I can't really remember any specific dates that jump out at me, and '77 is my favourite tour! If I'm being honest I usually tend to skip them. As an audience member says on the famous 21/6/77 recording 'We've had the guitar lesson!' or something to that effect. What would have been awesome was the bow solo segueing into In The Light. The theremin didn't really work without the backing of Jones and Bonham and the call and response with Plant that became a staple of the live versions of Whole Lotta Love. The only one that sticks out for me is Seattle, because of the video. It was cool to watch it.

What exactly did it lose?
Because I know what it gained...Robert's voice. After struggling in 1975, Robert's vocals got much of their power and expressiveness back in 1977. The 1977 "Kashmir" also gained its coda back, after being an afterthought or forsaken altogether in 1975.
So I want to know specifically what you mean by saying the 1977 "Kashmir" lost something.
The '77 versions also gained the Middle Eastern sounding Danelectro and the sweet segue from White Summer/Black Mountainside.
-
More dates to be announced in the next couple of weeks. They are also playing a date in NZ, so stoked!
-
Been loving My Morning Jacket recently, Alabama Shakes ain't too bad either, need to listen to more of their stuff though.
-
The vinyl isn't too expensive for this, might have to pick it up.
-
6/25/77 is one of my favourite shows. Always enjoy breaking it out and giving it a listen, just a solid show from start to finish.
-
Box set? Tell me more, I only have the official download on mp3 you couldn't even get it in FLAC.
They released it on vinyl, my dad has a copy of it.
-
Just a heads up for anyone wanting to order the upcoming Hyde Park live album, amazon.ca has the best deal on the 3LP + DVD version at $30. I picked one up myself.
The deluxe edition is very cheap on amazon.it as well, only 19 euros last time I looked.
-
There are two or three versions
I believe the version I got was from eddiethecat, I got the link through iorr.
-
Are you watching either' show I've downloaded ?
I'm watching the version of the Glastonbury I downloaded off Hungercity, got the link at iorr. I assume it is the same one you're trying to watch.
Why do you insist on using that ridiculously large font??

Working fine for me and I'm also using VLC.

Great pics everybody! Love the necklace Dano59! And Victoria7 your outfit is so cute!
I guess its 'been a long time' and I got a new dress so heeeyyy
Please pardon the duckface; I feel badass in this dress Ah, if you only were in NZ.
Very pretty pic! I don't think I've put one up here in years and the one in my avatar is pretty old now, so here ya'll go! This was taken at about 2.30 in the morning on a night out I think so I was pretty well gone at that point. Coincidentally I seem to be pouting hahaha. -
Can someone tell me which concert this is from,I blanked
Madison Square Garden, 1973. Not sure which show sorry, someone else will be able to help you out theree!
-
Are you guys sitting down? I've got a real shocker for you! I've came across many Stones fans, some on this site, who do not like Ron Woods playing. And when someone compares his playing with Ry Cooder's......
Since you brought it up, I can out play Woodrow on any Stones song. And I can do it without making any stupid faces. But then, why couldn't I?
I know that some Stones fans don't like Ron Woods playing, on many live songs I don't like his playing either, he can be quite erratic but he is still a brilliant slide guitarist. Maybe you can play better than Wood but you're not the one in the Stones worth 70mil are ya?
Please pardon the duckface; I feel badass in this dress
