It sounds to me like something went wrong during the dubbing process, although some eight track tapes "turn over" at points different than would happen with a cassette. I doubt he was dubbing eight-track to cassette. Enough said on this one I think.

This being the last show before a two-week break one would think they'd bring the fire power to make it one for the ages. Unfortunately, only the crowd size was remarkable and this one was just another "what could have been" as you quite rightly suggest.

Suspected that's why it looks homemade but didn't want to say anything to offend you.

Well, Jimmy kept his Hermit mask so why not you keep the t-shirt.

It's said that a picture often speaks a thousand words. Take a good look at this one submitted to me by Horselunges and posted to the board by Mr. Zoso: Jimmy Page and his companion Charlotte Martin upon arrival, Dorval Airport in Montreal. They look so pissed off! Here's why: The April 18th 1970 edition of The Montreal Gazette reported Led Zeppelin departed Minneapolis for Montreal at 6am the day of the show. They transited Milwaukee before arriving in Toronto, where they encountered a very frustrating delay to clear customs. Ultimately, they arrived in Montreal frazzled, with a show to perform that same night! Another interesting mystery concerning Montreal 1970 is they actually returned a couple days after their Montreal Forum concert. Jimmy went browsing thru the antique district looking for a Tiffany lamp on April 15th. More on this submitted to me from Grandmeaulne: There is indeed an antique shopping district just a few blocks south of the old Montreal Forum. It's located on Notre-Dame street, roughly between Atwater and Guy streets. I kick myself for throwing out my older-brother's copy of a French-language weekly entertainment paper. He attended the concert and it covered the 1970 concert straight from the moment the band landed at the Dorval airport (with pictures of the band in the arrival area) to gossips about what they did and where they went. And there was a pic of Jimmy with Charlotte waiting for their luggage! I also remember the story because it detailed how the concert was a marketing break-through for the promoter, Donald K. Donald. Back then (and still today, to a much lesser degree) the city of Montreal was divided into two hermeticaly closed communities: English and French. While French Canadians bought records, they rarely attended concerts at the Forum (located in the English part of town) with marketing limited to the English-language press and radio. But the reviewer wrote that for once, French-Canadians did attend the show en-masse, which probably led to its record attendance for a rock concert. I think the paper was Echo-Vedette. It still exists today as a sort of star-oriented supermarket tabloid. I'm tempted to convince the publisher to dig into his archives for that copy. Steve, I just want to thank you for your contributions on this forum. It's good to have a devoted connaisseur who hasn't moved to a more specialized board.

Aware of that also, but as many Americans do they misinterpreted or appropriated it to mean the MSG. Zep were not in for a quick MSG, they played three nights!

...followed by talk of seeds of love, so clearly that was a sexual entendre. As was Robert's "Nurses Do It Better" t-shirt worn onstage in Oakland, 1977. Peter Grant's t-shirt is something quite different altogether, I would say.

You said "a silly sentence" and I immediately thought of Monty Python. It was around this time that Peter had provided financial support to the film 'Monty Python and The Holy Grail". I know that particular line is not in the film, but it does sound Pythonesque. Perhaps it was a gag gift he got from them for Christmas or something. Peter wore a t-shirt one day in the mid-70s. Three decades later, a legion of fans were left to wonder "what did it mean"? There will NEVER be another band like Led Zeppelin!

The funny part is it looks homemade, as does the concert film itself...LOL.

As I recall, yes. A bit of gardening. Some Americans misunderstand it to mean in for a quick Madison Square Garden, which is not correct.

Hey Paul Stanley! How's it going? Give our regards to Gene, Peter and Ace.

An exchange of recent PMs has revealed newer members here are oftentimes unaware of the Forum Guidelines which leads to the unfortunate misunderstandings we've seen in this thread. I'd just like to highlight the fact the Forum Guidelines can be accessed using the link at the top of the page, just below the photo of Led Zeppelin. Remember them? I believe the issue is resolved now.

Great catch, Evster. Perhaps Endoramask doesn't know he's a Bandwith Bandit.

I love how he quoted YOUR photo just to draw attention to his, but then one can never see photos of you often enough. He's got good taste in girls.

You're quoting a post I made 20 days ago for the sake of an emoticon? How peculiar.

A terrific shot. Worthy of a Zep advertising campaign.

Dave's a terrific guy and second to none as a contributor to Led Zeppelin's legacy but there are small, relatively insignificant discrepancies to be found in some editions of his books. There are discrepancies to be found in nearly all printed materials concerning rock music because of the manner in which the music was created and in how books are published. Quick example: for years a debate raged over if Led Zeppelin was ever BILLED as The New Yardbirds. Books were published based upon what was known to be the truth at the time. Over the intervening years, promo materials were discovered which changed the outcome of the debate. It's no knock against against the authors of those books that those books subsequently contain small discrepancies. You've heard the saying "the power of the written word". There's a lot of truth behind that, but a book about rock music cannot necessarily convey absolute truth once it is published. This is why new and revised editions follow. Anyone who's endeavored to write or collaborated on a book about anything knows what I'm talking about. Edit: Yes, I made my mastertapes available for the interview compilation project.

Nah, your right. Underlying Christian theme doesn't work for a pagan album. I don't think either one of these tracks exist. It's just a Black Dog chasing it's own tail is what it is.

Sure enough, it's very much a mystery at the moment. I can see them writing something titled "St Tristan's Sword". The Arthurian connection and all that. I cannot see how "Lost In Space" fits into the context of their fourth album. It's just Ross Halfin having a laugh. (Then again, perhaps not )

Nothing like a bus trip from Detroit Metropolitan Airport to the Silverdome and a ninety minute delay to take the wind out of one's sails.

Some would say a jaded joker, but then he's earned the right to be.

Long-time Led Zeppelin fan Grant Burgess, a Canadien, organized a ZepFest Convention in Cleveland in July 1998. The night prior, several of us boarded a bus at the hotel in Cleveland for the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh to catch the Page/Plant concert. I was seated at the very front of the bus on the left-hand side and dressed in black. Two Canadien gents sat directly across from me and gave me a bottle of Canadien beer to drink on the bus before we got there. Are you guys here by chance?

Clearly, I've mistaken "two bitches" to have meant two women. In jolly old England it apparently can be applied to blokes as well. It's rather like "he's a queen" I imagine. Knebby, thanks so much for providing additional insight into how they gained access in the first place. What a betrayal of his trust on their part.
