    1971 Celebration Days are a primary reason why I love getting any 1971 show I can get my hands on.

    1971: The band was on fire, firing on all cylinders and Plant was still in full voice. Page played CD on the 12-string, which gave it a nice ringing tone and foreshadowed "The Song Remains the Same" (the song not the movie) a bit.

    1973: Page switched to the Les Paul for the song. Plant's voice was not tip-top and it seems like the band dropped the key and the tempo to compensate for Plant's vocal shortcomings (they did the same thing with "Rock and Roll"...slower and lower). Also, the 1973 tour found the band going for a heavier vibe overall.

    I would definitely have to agree with your point. Robert Plant in those early touring days from 1969-71 are unreal, the Bonham Jones combo during the 71 tour blew away anything I’ve heard The Who do live or Deep purple, Pink Floyd, Uriah heap, Tool, Sound Garden name it no one could touch that power. 

  2. As a old time studio album fan of Led Zeppelin I have always dreamed of seeing these guys live, knowing full well I was 9 years to late. Having heard some boots back in the day for instance Dallas 75’, Destroyer 77’, Berlin 80’. Or whatever MTV played during Zeppelin Box set release back in the 1990s. Having bought 3 or four different copies, upgrades, remasters, an such of Song Remains The Same, I’ve been pretty shallow on  unofficial recordings of the band (Thank you YouTube) that has changed, some recordings should be left in a box and others are spectacular but lack good professional recording though still worth repeat listens such as “listen to this Eddie, or Texas 77,” my question is this.
    Can someone please explain to me why there was such a big difference in the song celebration day how they played it live from 1971 to 1973 song remain the same version? The 1971 version is Bonzo attacking the drums with Joney going nuts? And the song remains the same version in NYC 73’ is was tamer (killer love it) but the 1971 is Holy Jesus these guys R on fire!

    I did search this forum for this question it and I’m sorry if I missed it or if it’s been asked before.

    So basically it was speculation based on the wording of the patent/trademark  filling application for the name Led Zeppelin Experience, because it mentions "live songs" specifically....also, based on what Page said about lots of material coming out in the next 10 years. It doesn't appear he or any other member of the band was ever quoted directly saying there would be a streaming service. But the article got people buzzing about it because of the nature of the application and the LedZepNews story, I think. Maybe someone like Sam or SAJ could confirm or refute this. So far, LZE has meant a book, skateboard and shoes, maybe an umbrella....🤔

    I haven't heard the cork pop yet Robert.  😒

    Thank  for the clarification that’s what I’ve read to that it was gonna be a streaming service with live music but taken from the comments that I’ve read here it does look like it’s gonna be a skateboard shoes and an umbrella but I wouldn’t mind having.

  4. Almost one year ago this September Led Zeppelin camp announced they are creating a new streaming service for their live concerts that have only been available on decent to Horrible bootleg now YouTube (thankful for that) well it’s one year later and I am asking why no update on this issue or any other projects that Jimmy Page has said would be coming out? I’ve almost come to the conclusion that all Zeppelin related material (live recordings, studio masters*,) will only be completely finished when Page has took the door to stairway to Heaven. 

    *  any new recordings like digital 5.1 or DTS , or a complete  analog pressing vinyl. 

  5. hopefully if there is ever an official release of chronological live album from 69-79 this show definitely should be selected. Kinda to bad this 50th anniversary was a bust. Not interested in Zeppelin picture book or Zeppelin  skateboards or vans Zeppelin shoes.

    What a difference ten years made. When you saw Jimmy in 1998 it was as if the 1980s never happened. He was in charge of his instrument and his tone and attack in a way he hadn't been since the 1970s. Other than the 2008 O2 one-off, the 1998 Page & Plant tour was the best chance young ones who missed Led Zeppelin had of seeing a close facsimile of a 'Led Zeppelin' concert. So if you passed on seeing this tour, it was your loss. For you won't ever see Page play like this again.

    For comparison, after that white-hot Heartbreaker check out this feeble attempt in 1988. It's like night and day.

    Live Aid and the Atlantic Records 40th anniversary gigs did more damage to Jimmy Page's reputation than a hundred 1977 Tempe, Arizona gigs. For one thing, millions more people watched Live Aid and Atlantic Records than have heard Tempe '77...or any 1977 bootleg. If Jimmy had played in the 1980s like he did in 1998, the "Jimmy is sloppy" and "Jimmy plays like a three-year old" comments that started popping up in guitar magazines never would have happened.

    Saw them twice and walking to Clark dale the song live is Amazing!!!

  7. To me  Led Zeppelin is a force that is waiting to be discovered by a whole new generation of music lovers. They brought in elements of darkness and light with a wisp of a beat. They could  conjure thunderstorm in a stadium or your headphones with melody of power and love, and at the same time bring it back down to a soft little jingle. Led Zeppelin is the band that definitely  define’s  The meaning of Rock and Roll. That’s how Zeppelin changed music.

    Can't really argue with that list. I would add the April 9 and July 24 to the "bad/weird" category but that's about it. Other than the third night, yeah, the Chicago shows are a bit under rehearsed but I'll still take 'em over the Landover shows, which are just lackluster performances all around. The Louisville show is pretty sloppy as well due to the rowdy crowd. 

    The Cleveland April 28 show is still the gold standard for me because IMO that gig is about as technically perfect a performance Zeppelin could give in 1977.

    The version of Kashmir on that show is Amazing. If not the best they ever done.

    I talked to a guy at the Arclight and he said "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" will be in the Dome for at least a couple weeks, maybe three. So it will still be there in August. They don't want a rerun of the fiasco with "Hateful 8".

    Make sure you hit the Lone Pine Film History Museum. Lots of cool stuff there...tons of westerns and "Tremors" and, yes, "Django Unchained", were filmed in the Alabama Hills environs.

    Yes, I remember the Real Don Steele Show and watched it on occasion.

    Read this book...

    Awesome thank you for the reference!

  10. Does this make you feel vindicated. I remember how during the 1980s my friends couldn’t understand why I liked dinosaur rock, or drug rock. I always tried to explain that Led Zeppelin was/ is one of the most talented guys to form a band. Zeppelin in my opinion is a band that should be honored and appreciated. 

     Having never seen Led Zeppelin live but just some videos bootlegs I cannot  attest to how good they were live but  from what I’ve heard live they rocked harder  than any bands I saw during my time in the early 80s and 1990s.

    Can't hardly wait for Quentin Tarantino's newest film-- "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood"

    This film looks like it will have everything. Hollywood in the late '60s, rock and roll, mini skirts, go-go dancers, Sunset Blvd,  the Playboy mansion, Bruce Lee, Sharon Tate and Charlie fucking Manson and the girls... WOW!

    I'm sure Strider will appreciate this film, it's about our hometown. I hope it opens at the Cinerama Dome. Nothing like seeing a film in the dome.

     

     

     

     

    This period in Los Angeles was a time like no other, but in saying that I would be  categorically wrong. Remember how Hollywood changed from silent movies to sound? That period brought in a whole new aspect of change to Hollywood 

    great article done by (Crafton, Donald. (1999). The Talkies: American Cinema’s Transition to Sound, 1926-1931. California: University of California Press)

    during the the late 1960s Hollywood was in a mist of confusion and lacking substance in it flicks until direction came in the form of Kubrick,  and Coppola’. 

    The sad thing is the brutality of Sharon Tate’s death, she was amazing actress in The valley of the Dolls, and was ok in the 1967 Dance of the vampire. That was a wake up call in Hollywood that not everything was sunny and beautiful in California.
