Is that a rehearsal pic, glicine? I'm just thinking that Alison doesn't seem dressed in her usual style.

Hard not to think his memory isn't playing tricks on him--the part about everyone previously staying in their seats to listen to bands, I mean. The Beatles, the Stones, many lesser bands--the place would be chaos, long before Zeppelin.

You look lovely there, lzfan. I also love aen27's coat!

I've always struggled to find the right way to express what I feel about that outfit--this is pretty much it, thanks Otto!

That story certainly puts some of our other problems in perspective. B-M.

Actually, I'd bet he told her a good place to go for breakfast, if he knew one!

I hadn't, either. You're a real treasure trove, Blocoboy--wish we could be more helpful in your Slade search. Eyes will be kept peeled, however! (Disgusting expression, come to think . . .)

Wow, great stuff, Blocoboy! I'm just catching up after a couple of weeks away, and was blown away by that pic of John Bonham--the earliest one I'd seen of him (apart from childhood pics, of course). I get the impression the Midlands music scene is still very tight knit, btw.

:slapface:

That's a great pic--I kinda wish he'd dressed like that for the show, but I suppose they all "dressed up" for the occasion. She's such a great photographer.

He is indeed one of the few people in the universe with that gift, ldw. This is a fascinating pic, spooky.

Imagine how special he'd have looked if he'd been wearing that shirt with those plaid pants.

Sorry.

I think ending this is a great idea. But I do want to point out that if it has not been fun for you for the last three days, imagine what it has been like for the rest of us for the past three months or more. One of the most popular threads had been hijacked by a half-dozen people who insisted all posters share their personal approach to the topic, oblivious to the fact that hundreds of people belong to this board and were, if they wanted to look at pics of Jimmy, forced to read that half-dozen people's comments. Every effort has been made to accommodate this tiny group, by leaving you this thread (and now you have a new one of your very own, also), while the rest of the members begin over in another thread. So forgive me if I don't see any reason whatsoever for complaint on the part of this group, whose "fun" had been at the expense of everybody else's. (This was pretty immature, which would have been more forgivable if all the members of the group actually were young teenagers.) But now that's all over! Everybody has their own thread, we can all enjoy the pics in our own way. Happy ever after, OK?

Although that last one is such a sweet pic of Jimmy, I always find myself focusing on the car and the couple canoodling on the left!

I think Al really livens up that band. Great pics, btw.

My considered opinion is that he looks better in a leather jacket than in a fur coat.

Me too, except the year I was watching Springsteen at Wembley (1985) . My money's on Federer this year too, though hopefully it'll be a good match. I think Sampras is going to be watching in California with you, and on TV by phone? And there can be few better ways to end a 4th than with Fogerty! Oh, and thanks for the congrats, jabe and FoD--I only just realized I missed page 2 of the thread.

That's why I amended my response to "her." Our new oppressee.

I like that gif, especially as the pic underneath seems to be pointing at it.

I Like that one too, especially because he looks so healthy there, by comparison to some of the pics from later years. A man in his prime.

How do you mean? Can't remember where I got it from, but Chris is certainly in it.

Thanks, Knebby, this will be my first 4th of July as an American as well as a Brit, so I plan to celebrate twice as hard.

I love those pics--though I don't know how many years I looked at that cover ^^ without noticing the Wolves logo.
