So last season we won 3 pieces of silverware. Not bad for starters?
Liverpool, I believe have not won The Premier League since since the 1989-90 season. That is a long time ago. In fact the last time their hands were on a trophy was the League Cup 5 years ago.
I really hope for a great season where everyone at least tries to win games instead, as we did at Anfield last year, park the bus and play dull defensive football?
Liverpool have never won the Prem unfortunately . The really good days are long gone. At least they have won Big Ears five times, a feat unequaled by any other British Club, eighteen pre-prem league titles is not to bad either,...

Didn't realize that there was an extended recording of this in existence that's going to be seeing the light of day through Japanese bootleg label Wardour. Wonder how much more will be on it.
Here you go...............Can't remember where I grabbed it from (Dime/TTD/Y/Zomb ?)
Here' another JP rarity from the whotrader archives. According to the thread I read, Jimmy was in the area for Coverdale / Page rehearsals and joined in for some fun at the local bar. There is a little hiss, but otherwise a very nice sounding recording (although Jimmy is a little low in the mix) - check the sample

If this show were to come out in the same quality as Deus Ex Machina, I think it would blow it away.
I have to laugh when I see that phrase "rare bootleg" , these days the only thing "rare" is that steak on your dinner plate...

Thelema is absolutely satanic! How can u say that? When Blavatsky wrote about satan and lucifer interchangably?

Bottom line. If you continue to deny he was evil and that he had no allegiance to Satan, and you know so much about him, your a liar. It says in the Bible that Satan is the father of lies. Therefore I'm not surprised
TRUTH
Aleister Crowley was actually a nice guy with a good sense of humor.
“The common defect of all mystical systems previous to that of the Aeon whose Law is Thelema is that there has been no place for Laughter.”
Just, not always at the same time. Aleister Crowley’s best humor was often at someone else’s expense, but overall he had a kind heart and a deep concern for the well-being of every man, woman, and child alive. Indeed, in 1924 he dedicated his life to serving humankind, and from then on he worked tirelessly and exclusively for the cause of human liberty.
It would be impossible to survey Crowley’s extraordinary wit in this small space. Suffice to say, all of his prose is packed with humor. Aleister Crowley’s original writing is far funnier than any of the parodies of his work. Below are a few short examples of his excellent jests. If you have any other favorite witticisms from Aleister Crowley, please share in the comments!
“One would go mad if one took the Bible seriously; but to take it seriously one must be already mad.” — Liber ABA, Part II, Chapter XVI
“May the New Year bring you courage to break your resolutions early! My own plan is to swear off every kind of virtue, so that I triumph even when I fall!” — Moonchild
“Theosophist: A person who talks about Yoga, and does no work.” — Liber ABA, Glossary
“Some men are born sodomites, some achieve sodomy, and some have sodomy thrust upon them…” — The Scented Garden of Abdullah the Satirist of Shiraz
“[I adopt the phrase ‘Holy Guardian Angel’] Because since all theories of the universe are absurd it is better to talk in the language of one which is patently absurd, so as to mortify the metaphysical man.” — The Temple Of Solomon the King in The Equinox I, no. 1.
Aleister Crowley inspired the counterculture movement of the 1960s.
Timothy Leary as Aleister Crowley
Most people are quite aware of Aleister Crowley’s censored appearance on the cover of Sgt. Pepper among the Beatles’ other heroes. Few, though, have gone on to ask why Aleister Crowley made the cut. John Lennon made the connection clear in an interview with Playboy when he said that “The whole Beatle idea was to do what you want, right? To take your own responsibility.” Lennon was paraphrasing “Do what thou wilt,” which is one of the central precepts of Thelema, the religion founded by Aleister Crowley. Thelema is the Greek word which means “will” and teaches that we each must discover our individual inmost nature, described as the “True Will.”
The Beatles were only the first of many counterculture rock musicians in the 1960s to openly cite Aleister Crowley as an influence. Led Zeppelin‘s guitarist Jimmy Page was very interested in Aleister Crowley and he remains a prominent Thelemite today. We have even recently learned that Frank Zappa was reading Crowley in 1968.
Apart from rock stars, who helped to popularize the writings of Aleister Crowley, we can also look at some of the people who revolutionized western culture in other, perhaps more deep and lasting ways. To start with, let’s consider where these musicians may have heard about Aleister Crowley. Perhaps the most likely candidate is Harry Smith, a Thelemite whose influence on folk and rock music cannot be overstated. Aleister Crowley also once dined with Aldous Huxley in Berlin, and the rumor goes that Crowley introduced him to peyote. Timothy Leary saw himself as continuing Crowley’s work, and said so on national television. Check out this clip:
These are only a few of the major streams of influence that Aleister Crowley had in shaping the counterculture movement of the 1960s. There is much more to explore, including Crowley’s efforts to make Eastern philosophy more accessible to the West, which helped to inspire the whole New Age movement. For more complete explorations, you can start by reading the best biographies of Aleister Crowley

I don't know how jimmy page or anyone can be a fan of aleister Crowley when he encouraged rape and murder of little boys during satanic rituals for power. Disgusting, I wouldn't be able to ignore that part of his writings and no one should. That's why all the satanic celebrities (Eddie veder-pearl jam, johnny depp, that lead singer witch from the Dixie chicks) rallied together to have the "west Memphis 3" released from prison because they were admired and idolized by the satanic community for actually performing the ritual. They raped, tortured, and mutilated the genitals, and eventually murdered three 8 yr old boys. All in the name and guidance of aleister crowleys sex magick ritual. Now tell me the dude wasn't evil or a satan worshipper !!!!
Myth: Aleister Crowley advocated rape.
Of course not. Aleister Crowley upheld the rights of the individual. These rights do not extend to violating the rights of others. See the quote and link in #9 above, and here’s another one:
“To use legal or financial constraint to compel either abstention or submission, is entirely horrible, unnatural and absurd.”
Myth..
Myth: Aleister Crowley was a black magician.
Few things could be further from the truth, and Aleister Crowley directly contradicts this myth.
“I have been accused of being a ‘black magician.’ No more foolish statement was ever made about me. I despise the thing to such an extent that I can hardly believe in the existence of people so debased and idiotic as to practice it.”

Since you guys know so much about Crowley, and claim he wasn't evil or satanic, how do you reconcile with the fact that in his sex magick book he encourages the rape and murder of a young boy(of high intelligence is best he writes) to gain the strongest and most powerful magic from Satan in a ritual? How can u say he wasn't evil and Satan isn't real? What about him and his wife going to Egypt to summon a demon in a pyramid? Was he just kidding? I think not.
MYTH...
4. Myth: Aleister Crowley sacrificed male children.
In his book, Magick, Aleister Crowley referred to masturbation jokingly and dysphemistically as child sacrifice. See our post, Guide to the Aleister Crowley 2012 Campaign Ad, for more details.
According to Crowley’s diaries, he performed this “sacrifice” about 150 times per year from 1912-1928. That is a moderate amount of masturbation, but it would be an impossible number of murders which would make Aleister Crowley dozens of times more murderous than the infamous Countess Elizabeth Báthory.

I love a lot of them but a big favorite of mine is the 05/24 Earls Court.
Jimmy is wonderful on the solos. Fast, fluid with a great melody. The bow solo is also great and I love Plant's "We are stardust" bit.
Fyi, the "We are stardust" bit is Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock"..

Earl's Court 17th and 18th May 1975 were also filmed.
All the EC shows were videotaped, for the big screens so that those at the back could see something.

I have read the above and still call upon you to start a Premier League thread and a World Cup thread? Unless you want to discuss both here? The World Cup looms just next June. And I have seen the odds. Nobody is a glaring favorite. And England has a real shot. I do not think the usual teams that are highly regarded like Germany, Spain, Brazil and Argentina are unbeatable by any stretch. If their is a huge sleeper to me its Mexico. And England but I doubt you can call them a true sleeper.
I would rather continue using this thread, I doubt a Prem specific thread would take off, participation would be too sporadic posts would likely be few and far between. Besides I don't think there are enough football fans here to keep a prem thread going.
