That really is sad
--I think Robert and Strange Sensation played there last year, too! I know they played Rome, as well as Sicily. (And somewhere near Venice.) We had hoped to fit in more shows, but all the travel arrangements proved too difficult. We'd have liked to see more of Italy, too!Oh, and to beatbo, in the first pic, you look just like Jack Kerouac's friend Neal Cassady.

I'm stocking up on those lottery tickets for travel myself.
I was in Venice years ago, when I was in high school, and would love to go again. We were in Sicily (seeing Robert Plant) last summer, and Rome a couple of years ago, where I saw as much art and history as humanly possible, and also shopped my brains out, and some years ago I did the same in Florence. I love your country!
-
I certainly enjoyed MY stay in Rome, AMAZONIC--don't know how you could bear to leave!
-
two recent...
me, the other day on top of the building i'm finishing..
me, trying to figure out how to take a picture and still see my eyes:
Nice to see you, beatbo
--so did the beard grow real quick, or did you take the second one first? (I like it, btw!) -
That one of them leaving the stage ^^ was at the very end of (what turned out to be) the very last Zeppelin show. So I always find it a really poignant pic.
-
Hmm, you look vaguely familiar.
Lovely pic. -
The art of concert posters isn't dead, you just have to have an interest in bands that support the art and seek it there.
I love Sonic Youth, but have never been anywhere where they performed and thus never seen their posters.
But in any case, the Pearl Jam ones are much better art. Sorry, Jo alucard.
-
Glad to see the artform isn't dead, then--I must admit now I think about it, I do have a great poster from the last White Stripes tour, it's just that most concert posters seem much less creative and have much less interesting artwork than they used to. Those Pearl Jam posters are great, though.
-
My, I hadn't seen him in that outfit before, that is definitely
!Thanks, glicine!
-
What happened to the great artwork that used to appear on concert posters?
-
Yes, well they did meet whilst touring throughout that era. Basically, you just take her
concert chronology and cross-check it against Led Zeppelin's for the possibilities. I
seem to recall they met on the West Coast that Summer as well.
Here's another: September 4, 1970. Led Zeppelin had just played The Forum. They went
to the Troubador and got involved in a post-performance jam session with Fairport Convention (who were recording a live album). Producer Joe Boyd believes the tapes are buried in Polydor's vault, by the way. So anyway, they moved on to Barney's Beanery nearby, where the partying continued. A highlight was a drinking contest between Bonham, Dave Pegg and Janis Joplin.
Meanwhile, Dave Swarbrick is denying it ever happened.

So he sings it instead.

Hendrix played at Salvation on Wednesday 10th September 1969. He also regularly sat in on jams at The Scene club in New York. On one occassion he jammed with the Jeff Beck Group on a version of "Beck's Bolero" on 17th June 1968. Led Zeppelin were scheduled to play at The Scene club in February 1969 but these were cancelled due to the illness of John's son Jason. Led Zeppelin played at Carnegie Hall on 17th October 1969. The only time Led Zeppelin shared the bill with Jimi Hendrix was at the Santa Clara Pop Festival on 23rd May 1969. I think Jimmy could be right, and I don't think they would have had much time hang around backstage together. Led Zeppelin had to do an evening show at the Kinetic Playground in Chicago on the same day so they would have packed up and left for the airport after their set.

That's interesting--that Jason was sick enough to cause them to cancel a show, that early in their careers. Didn't know that.

The notes read:
Harmonizer into sonic wave
Bow <strobed?> overhead leading into first bowed chords and appearance of pyramid
Staccato repeat (pyramid turns 1/4)
Repeat speed up and pyramid revolves and stops when I start on the wah-wah
Smoke on the back of pyramid
More high and low wah-wah notes leading to more staccato
Repeats ending with bow waves strobeing above my head
Pyramid builds to a spin even before drum entrance
<Tremedor?> on high chord - slide down <black?>
Can anyone confirm or decypher the words in <bold?>?
Cool shit by the way, thanks for posting Steve!
I think the word at bottom left is "tremeloe", could be wrong. Others look correct.
-
He can spell!
-
Members of the Fudge (Carmine Appice, notably) were allegedly around for the alleged incident. They and Zeppelin were friends.
-
The sun did come out briefly.
-
So did someone in a Blender interview.
And in any case, it's not an insult, and he's not the sort of person to take it as such.
OK, I've had my say.
Enjoy this.

This guy is still alive - A further clue - Who did Jimmy play with/opposite in the early 60's when he was doing session work?
Reinhardt died in 1953!
Or was this a reference to BJS? Sorry, bit ambiguous. -
And he's not going to be meeting the long-deceased Django Reinhardt there.
I love Reinhardt, too, though to me he's unclassifiable. Even in his partnership with Stephane Grapelli. I don't hear anything of him in Jimmy's playing--which doesn't mean anything, of course.
-
Collaboration is the key!
-
Oh, all right!
I won't tell her I saw you hanging around the Hot Pics thread all night.
That second one certainly is hot, though, I have to say.

I was all set to book my trip but had already booked a Strange Sensation show in Cork Ireland a few days later. I heard Jimmy wasnt attending and so in the end it paid off for me as the Cork show was a good one. I really wanted to go to Montreux because of Jimmy going as I was seeing Robert at various times anyway.
You mean "Out of Sight" Robert Plant, Birmingham Blues King??
I had the same experience (seeing Robert in NY a few days before or after Cork), and was incredibly glad in the end I didn't spend all that money on going to Montreux, to see a reunion that never happened--much as I would have loved to have seen that show, which was by all accounts fantastic anyway.
-
The fact you don't claim to is refreshing in itself.
Edited for speling AGAIN.
