  1. The kid in the blue - he gets it! the rest of the kids - they all have serious potential and an ear for talent. Except - the long haired kid - he can stick with his rap, and Black Dog of course. The one girl was right - Black Dog - “It’s a party!” I hope the band gets to see clips like this.
  2. I love how Jimmy’s facial expression is exactly the same in both pictures.
  3. UGH!! That’s it. Gotta head back! I’ll wait a few weeks until the tourist crowd slows down. I was so enthralled with what I saw my mind went to this place where logic didn’t apply. And it was glorious!
  4. Omg. EXACTLY. Imagine playing Stairway- then imagine playing Stairway TO LED ZEPPELIN!! Jason sitting at the drums with his bowler on and looking emotional really made me think someone cut up onions in the room! I also loved how the choir wore bowlers as well. I noticed Jimmy counting during it sometimes- I think his mind is probably so analytical that he may not even know he does it - he does it in the Earls Court version of In My Time of Dying. If you get a chance, YouTube Ann and Nancy’s reaction to performing that Stairway. So much respect for them!
  5. Yes!! Same here. I watched it again the other night and same reaction. One of the beautiful things about that performance was the reaction we saw. If you can make Robert tear up and Jimmy nod with approval and say “wow” a few times, you know you’ve got to be damn good! Heart delivered it just the same a few weeks ago. Not too bad for ladies in their 60’s- it was beautiful even without the choir and orchestra. I’m so glad they did it that night - I teared up then as well!
  6. Oh my. I saw Heart 2 weeks ago and they absolutely nailed Stairway in their encore. Too bad you miss out in gems like that.
  7. I did cheesy pics of my hands over #1 and the Danelectro looking like I was touching it. I have to figure out how to attach pics here with iPhone/iPad. To echo the above sentiment about Excalibur - yes - that’s what it was! And looking at the Holy Grail. I was completely mesmerized thinking of all I’d the things we’ve heard that came from those instruments and seeing them in action. Looking at the Black Beauty was a treat, considering where it’s been (as in, we have no idea where it went). How generous of Jimmy to loan so many things to the exhibit.
  8. Wow, these are fantastic! Some of them actually took me a minute to figure out who exactly was the photoshopped person was. Keep them coming, I love it! Thanks for the laughs!
  9. It’s too bad that this wasn’t a channel that was expanded on and made permanent; there’s so much to go on!
  10. Here’s something interesting I just found... https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/jimmy-page-before-led-zeppelin-20-great-sixties-session-songs-151465/p-j-proby-jims-blues-1969-225938/
  11. Jason does this with his Zeppelin band with the ITL intro- I remember who perfect I thought it was.
  12. I recently discovered this clip because of this thread and I laugh every time. Oh Jimmeh! The comments are hilarious. Jimbert, LOL.
  13. I went this weekend - WOW. I may go back again before it ends - fortunately I’m only a 2 hour train ride from NYC.
  14. I was born and raised in Saratoga Springs! My family is still there. Fantastic place to grow up. Im imagining accidents involving water buffalo. Trampled Underfoot?
  15. Wow dude. I know it’s an old post but you couldn’t sound any more ignorant if you tried. I’m 44, 5’8 and 144 lbs, and never smoked a day in my life. Proud nurse for 23 years. I’ve done all kinds of nursing including flight nursing, critical/intensive care and Hospice, which were my true passions out of all of them. Sorry you feel that way about us. I hope you don’t need any anytime soon...one may hold your life in their hands. They’ll be just as dedicated to your care even if you are nasty to them. Robert’s right - we DO do it better!
  16. This is great. You all just get me. My friends listen to crap pop music or whatever today’s nonsense is that the kids are listening to, and there I am with a Zeppelin shirt on blaring live stuff they’ve never heard of. When my mother saw my book on my coffee table and said “Who’s Jimmy Page?” I cried. I need more friends like all of you! I’m a single girl, 44, and travel everywhere I can. Nice to be here!
  17. I went yesterday and my god, it was glorious. It’s everything everyone described. I’m pissed that I missed the telecaster and bow (gotta go back!). It was definitely packed with Jimmy’s things compared to others which was mighty fine by me! The dragon suit was designed by Jimmy and hand embroidered by Coco and took over a year to make. I took pics of the descriptions as well. Gosh, he had a tiny waist! It blows my mind that I was standing right where he was in the room showcasing him, Keith, Eddie and Tom Morello (instead of strumming he’d use his toggle switch!). It’s like walking where Jesus did. I watched the Jimmy video like 4 times. 😊 I took a lot of the same pics but I’d be happy to post the descriptions of the items or anything anyone would like to see - I’ll try to figure out how to post pics for you. i even took corny pics of my hand looking like I was touching the Danelectro and Number 1. I watched RAH and TSRTS clips on the train home just to watch him playing what I had just experienced. I may even go back once more before it leaves. It was fantastic! EDIT: looking at the dragon suit a lady asked me what “Zoso” meant. I said that Jimmy will never disclose but it has something to do with his interest in magick, the occult, symbology, etc. She goes - “oh ok, I’ll just google it”. I said “you might wanna start with Aleister Crowley then”. Then the husband said “Jimmy doesn’t look so good these days”. I was all - “well, he’s 75 and survived copious drugs and a rock and roll lifestyle through the 70’s”. He said “oh good point”. Sorry folks, don’t knock Jimmy to me, I’ll set ya straight - and jimmy looks pretty damn good for 75 and being where he’s been.
  18. I just laughed out loud in a conference call. Thank god for silence phone option! 😆
  19. Thank you for this! My tentative plan is to head down next weekend. Really looking forward to it.
