Wow, well worth the time, thanks for posting! The ending was really nice..👍 Now can we have Angus interviewing Jimmy at Loch Ness? 😆

Good post, and sad about Mick Ralphs. If that’s why he had someone covering for him on stage I’m okay with it. Perhaps that’s the band’s way of supporting him and he needs help with medical bills? You never know.

I’m convinced he still plays as evidenced by some of the stuff on IMGL. Yes that was 10 years ago at this point but a guy who loves the instrument as much as he does would not just stop. He always pointedly says he’d “like to be seen playing,” which suggests to me that the only thing missing is a public forum. Does he REALLY want to get out in public and play? I’m guessing that’s the real question. Don’t have a link but I remember that when he was in NYC last year for one of his GF Scarlett’s poetry readings, someone who spoke with him claimed that Jimmy said he’d been “rehearsing with some people” so who knows... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aQCv6jmv-EU

He’s done a bunch of these, including No Quarter, When The Levee Breaks, and Since I’ve Been Loving You. They’re fun to watch...

He appeared on a TV show and to his surprise was handed an acoustic guitar and asked to play. He raked out a few chords but because he didn’t play a 1970-quality version of White Summer some people here freaked out. 😆

Hard to pick just one moment so I’ll name two songs that nobody’s mentioned yet: Ten Years Gone and Bron-Yr-Aur from Physical Graffiti. I was already into Zeppelin when I first heard PG at my friend’s beach house but those two really opened my eyes (and ears). Both instantly identifiable as Page, can’t mistake those for any other player.

Interesting, I’ve never seen it and don’t recognize anyone else in the photo.

There is no decision too stupid for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Agreed, what a talent. Saw Page and Plant at MSG in July ‘98, they were on fire and my friend took to calling Michael Lee “Animal” after the famous muppet after watching the way he attacked his kit that night.

Now there’s a singer whose voice has aged incredibly well!

I agree with you. I also think the Firm’s stuff could do with a nice remix and/or remastering. A little muddy in places..

It’s a nickname. There is no actual monarchy in music.

All this over a f**king nickname!!

It’s funny how many here seem to buy into the idea that all Elvis did was repackage black music in a good looking white guy. This totally leaves out the country aspect of his influence. It’s also ironic because it’s the exact same kind of criticism many heap on Jimmy and the boys, wrongly in my view.

Yup. And I’d be there in a heartbeat! 😁
