Been to the Met so after not being on here for almost 3 years figured I'd share some pics. Folks there were ok with cellphone, but definitely objected to flash photos. I filmed the entire Jimmy video but can't post that up on here. If I ever load it up to youtube I'll post link, but I suspect most of you have already seen it anyways. If you're in town definitely worth the $25 bucks, unless you gots a library card. I'd love to have a talk with Perry about the BB as he says it's been restored. I'd like to know when and to what condition. For the life of me I can't see any evidence of there being 3 toggles on this. Unless it was covered up 45 years ago and then aged to the condition it's in now. Too bad they had the guitar mounted in a way so you couldn't see the back and any other tell tale signs of the extensive routing work Joe Jammer said he put in. I don't recall seeing that guitar with pickup covers since pre RAH, yet this one has well aged covers. The #1 is just something you need to see in person and just be in awe of it. The Dragon sadly has also been restored to the same condition as the one you can purchase at the Met store so also kinda hard to believe it's truly the original. I now question all the stories of it being ruined beyong playability and the neck being re-used in the Botswana brown tele.
Anyways enjoy these. I got a gazzillion more but these are some of the coolest ones. I definitely plan on going back again before it all goes off to Cleveland. To be seen to be, but not being played.

Anxss,
Where did you find it? I may be completely wrong, but the guy in the background on the right looks a bit like Nech Tytla who runs 'For Badgeholders Only'.
Yes, that's me. Imagine finding this on here after not logging in for years. neato

Here's the site Frank mentioned before... Was a work in progress till everyone got sidetracked. I should update it with some of the pics from here..

Not annoyed, just disappointed the search function wasn't used as I've responded to inquiries on this mystery numerous times in the past. Use the search function and light will be shed upon it.
Probably one of the best places to check out for info on the symbol....

The book is also a good read.

Hopefully this isn't a repeat, but a few years ago on JPJ's website, I saw where he had answered a fan's question about the phone that can be seen on his keyboard in the Knebworth video. He said something to the effect that it appeared there one day and it never rang, and he didn't know what it was for.
I think I can shed some light on it: such phones are used for performers to communicate directly with the soundman (who has a similar phone at his end), without having to broadcast it over the PA. So if a bandmember had wanted to tell the soundman to turn up the stage monitor or some such, they could have done so privately via that phone. Though it's odd that a phone like that would be put in place without telling the band what it was for!
Actually, I asked JPJ that personally when I got to meet him after the DVD premiere in NYC. I told him how it had been in numberous discussions and his reply was that it just got put there at some point during the rehearsals/soundchecks and never moved. Just kinda became glued to the set. Then in his good humored way he added "I'm just glad it never rang during a number I wouldn't know what to do!"
you can read that whole long winded encounter here:

Hello Frank. As I understand only three songs were streamed over the internet. If the complete concert aired elsewhere I'm unaware of it. I don't think JPJ had made available nearly as much music as he could or perhaps even wanted to. He
was quite keen to distribute music digitally years ago. We've seen this to some extent with Them Crooked Vultures but
the full potential to release his recorded works - particularly live performances - has unfortunately yet to be realized.
I have also heard repeated rumors that the entire 3/28/00 Irving Plaza show was pro shot for future release but got scrapped. Supposedly now hoarded but have never been able to confirm either... would be nice to see as that was a killer show.
-
Hunt was in the original cast and opening day was Sept 27, 1968...but as to when she actually joine dup with them.... ???Supposedly, Plant hooked up with Korner after Victor Brox and Marsha Hunt left his group. Hunt joined the London stage cast of "Hair". Does anyone know when that happened?
-
I think the story about JPJ's middle name being "Richard" was the result of some cheeky Wikipedia editing (which was then picked up by other websites that copy from Wikipedia). There's no real evidence that his middle name was Richard. In fact, BMI is now listing him as "John D. Baldwin".
Wikipedia is the knows all balls all...don't ya know? I won't even go into what is commonly used in lieu of Richard...

Amen to that brother!
Anyone wanna do a sigil from those btw ?
-
Nothing in circulation and I have never seen or heard any evidence to suggest that soundcheck was recorded.
Now is wolfman refering to the Bray Studio rehearsals or soundchecks to the Copenhagen warm ups ? According to Dave Lewis there was video shot of the Bray studio rehearsals. Wolf, were do you see it that Jason played TU specifically? ... my mind draws a sudden blank.
D'oh! never mind...just fact checked myself and see now that you are referring to the sounchecks of Aud 2nd... thank you TBL guy!

Vultures. The Devil. Never Deserved. They certainly seem to be going for a dark vibe,
but I've met Diamanda Galas and seen her perform so I really don't scare easily!
Well Jonesy's no stranger to scary
Cool Diamanda
Scary Diamanda!

Geez, and here I thought Sam never makes comments about any such things!
I wonder what their webmasters, publicity guys, record label (?) think of this...

The Devil will be Happy ?? What's that?!?! perhaps the title of the background song ?
Hmmm, I guees that explains Jesse calling the music "scary"

Will stay tuned for more. It just seems preposterous for him to claim, if he did, that Bonham was involved in his album sessions at all. Jimmy's recollections are not always
accurate either; not long ago he spoke of their five nights at Earls Court in 1976.
Here's a perposterous claim :
Source: Donovan's Friends; Issue 6 - circa 1989
SNAP - KCRW Radio, Los Angeles
interview by Dierdre O'Donoghue
S: "Hurdy Gurdy Man maybe responsible for an entire genre of music by virtue of the people playing with you, the musician in the background, from which sprang metal music."
D: "When I wrote "Hurdy Gurdy Man", I thought, this is for Jimie (Hendrix) and my producer, Mickie Most, said "No, this is your song", so I said "Well, maybe Jimmy Page should play on it". Jimmy Page at that time was doing sessions. They hadn't formed 'The Band' yet, they were about to form.
All around the "Hurdy Gurdy Man" sessions Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, the bass player on many of my recordings, especially "Mellow Yellow" he wrote the horn section, a band was forming around these sessions and Led Zeppelin, I believe, looking back, was formed around "The Hurdy Gurdy Man" sessions. A ballad form of song where I played it on guitar, a very heavy drum section and a very wild guitar sound and story telling. So if I formed Led Zeppelin I want to call upon those boys next year, I wanna record it with them next year! OK, I started Led Zeppelin and it goes like this.
OK, I STARTED LED ZEPPELIN!!!"
That's just a start....
It's in the book "Hurdy Gurdy Man", 2005 I believe where he first alludes to Bonham being at the sessions...not handy so can't transcribe
But in his film biography
Sunshine Superman:The Journey of Donovan I am told the Bonham reference is made as well. Anyone actually see this film and care to comment? OK time to search & destroy...
I was very tempted to drive up to the quaint village of Woodtock for the Film's premiere back in Oct 2008 just to see if I can personally ask/confront him with his various claims as it has been a quite heatedly debated topic elsewhere for some time.
more to come...
-
At best he could arguably take credit for his sessions having brought JPJ and Jimmy together, but neither Robert Plant nor John Bonham were involved. Are you saying he has claimed otherwise?
I'm a traveller of both time and space at the moment, but I went return again I shall go thru my inventory and find the relevent passages/places/times where Donovan does indeed make claims of JP,JPJ *&* Bonzo being around for the HGM sessions. I don't think he ever outright says that they all appear on the final cut, but aludes to them all being present and taking part in the times. Again, could be pure Donovan spouting off making time, but the part that intrigued me from the get go was the UN-denial.
And subsequent non retorts to every time Donovan continued to make this claim.
the archives are your friend....just like the little smoke ; ) never empty the ashes.
-
Scott is absolutely correct, and neither Donovan nor Jimmy have ever suggested Bonzo was on this session either. The first session featuring Jimmy, JPJ w/Bonzo (and Robert) was for PJ Proby's 'Three Week Hero' album.
You seem to have forgotten how in his last book Donovan states the opposite of what you say here, and did so as recently as his appearances in Woodstock, NY ( the real Woodstock not Bethel ) where he was promoting I forget at the moment some film. And what about all his other jibberish about how he's resposible for Zeppelin?1 eh? And fwiw, when the book mention was first discussed elsewhere, a certain guitarist I am very fond of, did NOT disagree with Donovan. Too many shrooms or not, you'd think after all that talk, someone would have made a definite retort if none of Donovan's claims were true. ..just some other food for thought apprentice.
-
Do I dare even attempt to post the , um, alternate take of this pics?!!!
Nah, best not tempt fate!!!
Steve do you have an anecdote as to why the tensions were so high that day ...enough to get Plant to take desperate measures to try to elevate the spirits?
-
Is their much interest in this sort of stuff on here?.
I have a few more Listen things and other stuff can be obtained if wanted.
By some of us..OF COURSE!!! Bring it on! Thanks.

Way to go, Nech!
Actually way to go Meg !

It must be in New Orleans as the man with the accordion is Buckweat Zydaco and obviously Neil Yong it maybe at Tippitinas?
Excellent! Thanks, that narrows it down. See a bunch of google results already saying they did jam, but alas not dates. Anyways thanks, I got a road to go on now.
Have heard his music never saw the face. Now I know.
