  1. Been having the same issues. See message at top: “Webmaster please contact Hostgator.com”
  2. First I heard/taped: BBC sessions from '69 and '71 from a radio station. Still have that tape. First (of many) I bought: Coming Back On The Murder Stage - 4/27/77 in Cleveland.
  3. Blaster, I could be wrong but that swatch could be correlated to the flame on the lit match. The frame on the left does not have a lit match, so I believe we are to think it was just before the match was struck. Thorgerson's Web site is fantastic, Aspensound. It'd been quite a while since I looked at it, thanks for the refresher. I missed him speaking in Chicago a few years ago and was very disappointed.
  4. Also, Best Buy does sell non-USB turntables as well. The selection, obviously, is very limited.
  5. I collect the search function: http://forums.ledzeppelin.com//index.php?s...hl=collectibles
  6. Photo from this gig is in Dave Lewis' The Concert File. However, setlist info is minimal and no recording is known to exist.
  7. Spats, where have you gone man? What a shame. :(

  8. Hey dude, we miss you up in here. Everything that manderz said. All but the XOXO. Man-hugs all around, bro. Stay strong!

  9. I can be witty, and I can be glib. I can be sassy, and I can be introspective. But I've really only got one thought in mind right now -- :(

    Miss you Knebby!

  10. May the road rise to meet you, Hermit. Your presence is deeply missed!

    Stay strong through the oppression, Mona!

  12. I believe Ritchie has returned to his native Australia http://www.ritchieyorke.com/index.php?node...&pagesid=72. And yes, he has traveled extensively with the band and was widely considered one of the first mainstream rock writers to "get" what Led Zeppelin was attempting musically. My point, though, was more that he was not a bass player and wouldn't have had the band's confidence to join them on stage. I believe deluxe caught the error in his misreading of the poor parenthetical quoting which Yorke wrote in that Phil Carson quote. The parentheses inside the quote marks were Carson's words, while those outside the quotes were Yorke's.
  13. Another note on Phil Carson - He did serve as creator and exec producer for 2001's Good Rockin' Tonight: The Legacy of Sun Records disc, which featured Page/Plant and was released on Atlantic. However, at that point, a story from the Boston Globe also says that Carson was still an executive for JVC's Victory Records. http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~presley/elnews177.htm (scroll down to the story "Sun tribute CD makes legendary founder beam" by Steve Morse, Oct. 27, 2001) And a quick bio from Chris Welch's 2003 book "Closer to the Edge: The Story of Yes"
  14. Here's plenty of confirmation, Steve The press release for the second album from Bowie's Tin Machine: http://www.bowiewonderworld.com/presso.htm He also was managing Motorhead in 1991 for their album "1916" http://www.mf-b.ru/disks/md-1916-eng.php And Yes for their 1991 tour: http://www.forgottenyesterdays.com/graphic...r=2&gid=759 Also, Phil worked with Jason Bonham in 1996: http://www.oldbuckeye.com/jason.txt
  15. Also, I can not find this information you quoted on p. 67 of my copy of Yorke's "Led Zeppelin: The Definitive Biography" -- which is Chapter 3: The Launching of Led Zeppelin -- and no mention in the section covering the Japanese tour. Cole's book says Phil Carson was who joined them on bass, which makes more sense as Carson had played bass for Dusty Springfield and Ritchie Yorke was a Canadian journalist for the Toronto Globe & Mail. Dave Lewis' The Concert File also lists it as being Phil Carson on bass, not Yorke. Lewis quoting Carson: "We had a good relationship and I got to jam with them on stage quite a lot. John Paul Jones would play keyboards, I would be on bass guitar and we would sail through seven or eight old rock songs. It was great. ... They did lean toward things I would be most comfortable with! Eddie Cochran songs were very high uop on my list for playing. Normally we played 'C'Mon Everybody' and old Elvis things like 'Blue Suede Shoes' and Johnny Kidd & the Pirates' "Shaking All Over.' It was great fun."
  16. Just wanted to make sure SteveAJones' misinformation about Phil Carson's current whereabouts is not perpetuated into assumed fact here, as many assume his posts as 100 percent accurate 100 percent of the time. As Nine Lives posted, this is what Phil's been up to the last 15-20 years: http://forums.ledzeppelin.com//index.php?s...308&st=280#
  17. Any reason you quoted Steve's post with wrong information in it? FWIW, from Richard Cole in "Stairway To Heaven" about Carson: He then goes on to regale us of stories about Phil Carson being the butt of practical jokes and then, er, his other attributes. I'll leave it at that.

    A spot among the pantheon of martyrs is yours, kindly brave soul. Excelsior! Keep up your excellent work with street gangs and thuggery. Society needs more Magic Sams!

  19. Knebby, your insight and years of service to the Zeppelin community are so deeply appreciated! You truly are a beacon of light in a destitute world of acrimony. And without you, this site is all the more sad and pathetic!

  20. Right back atcha! Great meeting you! And stop tempting me with that beer, I'm at work! :)

  21. Well, since Jason told a poster on here that he doesn't visit this site, then I'd say nobody. Of course, I'm pretty sure Jason would say his dad, too.
  22. Why from their omnipresent collection of fan-recorded live shows.
  23. Hey Knebby, you should resurrect the Groupies thread, too! I wish that would have been brought over from the old board -- it's seriously irreplacable...unless it is replaced!
  24. Before playing it in the Blueberry Hill show in 1970, Plant pronounces it "Brawn-rahr"
