    Thanks for posting this reids.  I always wondered who delivered that incredible intro and was always too lazy to look it up. Truly a part of R&R history without ever stepping on a stage!

    You’re welcome.
    He had a larger the life voice. R.I.P. JR.

    In the old days he helped raise and lower Peter Criss’ drum set (several on each side with chains / rope) to work as a lever for the riser effect.  I heard that Peter actually fell off riser a few times due to not being “balanced”. 😁

    Casey Jones strikes again. Another thread train-wrecked. So much for rest in peace. 

    R.I.P. this thread 😢

    About the charges of plagiarism.  But what if Zep had done an album or 5 of covers of their contemporaries?   For example?  A Zep version of Locomotive Breath?  Or perhaps, Every Time I Roll the Dice?  Working Man?  Or how about Plant singing Cherry Bomb (Jones wearing out a mandolin!!)?  Or, Glory Days?   Superstition?  My head spins.....

    They wouldn’t have. They weren’t a cover band or a singles band either.

    I tend to disagree. This YouTube event seems geared more for the Millennial crowd.

    Most of the 50 and older crowd I know have the Led Zeppelin albums and cds and dvds already in their collections. We still buy physical manifestations of our favourite music because it is in our DNA. We don't need YouTube to watch Led Zeppelin because we already have "Celebration Day" and "The Song Remains the Same" and the "DVD" at home and can pop it in our dvd player any time. 

    Are you telling me that a YouTube video is going to have better video resolution and better audio than my dvd-home stereo system? Not a chance.

    That's why I think this YouTube streaming event is more for the younger generations. The ones who don't buy dvds and records and stereos because they download everything on their phones and computers and listen through ear buds or bluetooth speakers.

    It also happens to be the day before Bonzo's birthday.

    I agree with you. I left off one word in my post you quoted, which should have included “youth”.

    My post:

    Sounds like smart marketing:

    CBS & other news media to promote to older demographic &

    YouTube / social media to direct youth to event.
