  1. R.I.P. recap this week R😎
  2. Very cool Steve. Always enjoyed his songwriting and storytelling. R😎
  3. R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/gordon-lightfoot-dead-1.6828991? R😎
  4. R.I.P.

  5. Great show. Sold out. Standing room only. His band was tight. He’s an excellent performer and Steve Stevens was incredible (his technique and accuracy with flamenco, blues, and so many styles was amazing. He even played some zeppelin (part of “going to California” and intro to “Stairway to Heaven” in one of his solos, too). R😎
  6. Interesting... saw this regarding the doc. Apparently, there was a US private screening in early April. https://ledzepnews.com/2023/04/19/a-new-cut-of-becoming-led-zeppelin-was-privately-screened-in-the-us/ R😎
  7. I heard the same thing re: cd pressing plant. I’ve actually seen a few limited edition cd-r’s released (from major labels) “independently” on the down low to see if they could profit and what the reception would be like to a niche market of fans. R😎
  8. R.I.P. John Regan (bassist / musician) R😎
  9. R😎 local radio station playing a game ... and yes, those are CDs 💿 (not coasters)
  10. Exactly. Sounds like One of them doesn’t want to do the project or have it released in a deluxe anniversary format. CDs are not a dead format. They have been misinformed. Blu-ray audio (Atmos surround), 4k UHD, etc all share the same size and play perfectly from blu ray players, 4K players, etc. We know most streaming services are popular, but most overcompress the audio (Loudness wars). They’re really missing a great opportunity to release 30th anniversary C/P deluxe set with bonus a/v footage, Rehearsals, b-sides, unreleased tracks, live tracks (vinyl, cd, Blu-Ray audio/video). R😎
  11. Sounds like a lot of excuses. CDs are still outselling vinyl in total sales of actual items or product. Vinyl is only “outselling” CDs, if you consider the total price of vinyl versus the price of CDs. One can spin It (no pun intended) any way they want. If major retailers (like Best Buy, Target or Walmart) don’t want to carry CDs or only carry CDs of artists and / or bands that don’t sell on that format (rap, new pop, etc), then it sounds like they’re trying to sabotage the format. Everyone knows CDs are portable, digital, don’t warp and don’t scratch as easily as vinyl. Sounds like JP put the project to rest and DC is trying to save face for bringing up the idea 3+ years ago. It’s too bad, as the deluxe reissue would have been worth (especially if it included rehearsals, unreleased songs, b-sides, live tracks and / or a blu ray concert (if included). R😎
