My guess, and it's only that, would be that Kashmir sounded like the name of an exotic faraway place, kinda like Shangri La. Plus there are some amazing aspects of Kashmir itself (it was once called "paradise on earth") which Plant may have been thinking of, rather than the ceaseless warfare!
Edit: Also because "Morocco" didn't scan?

I'll preface this by saying I can't draw at all--
anyway, I've only just looked through this thread, and it seems to me that the most successful drawings are the ones that aren't copies of photographs, and the ones that don't make the band (all of them) look like teenage girls.
Some of you are very talented, though. -
Exactly. I return again to George Harrison's comment after reading Beatle-freak Geoffrey Guiliano's book: "This guy knows more about me than I do!"
I'm going with Plant making a Moroccan visit sans Page in late 1973, after the US tour, being inspired to write "Driving to Kashmir" during or after that trip, and then returning avec Page in '75 after Earl's Court as the LZ tax exile commenced.
Do either Page or Plant remember the sequence of events accurately? Who knows? Does it matter? In a world wracked by war, famine, injustice and disease, why am I struggling to confirm the whereabouts of two (likely stoned) rock stars thirty-five years ago? I challenge anyone to clear up that Zeppelin mystery!
I was just thinking this morning that I was having great difficulty figuring out the details of an event that happened to me at around that time (and I wasn't stoned at the time), so I don't see why their memories should be any better than everyone else's!
And they've lived more action-packed lives than most of us. Therefore I would imagine that a fair amount of what they say about the Zeppelin days is somewhat inaccurate, not deliberately but just because it's damn hard to remember details that far back! -
Hmm. The annual membership went up a shilling once they started offering "fab gear and way out discs by all the 'with it' artistes," and no wonder!
Sorry to hear you've been under the weather, Blocoboy, and glad to have you and your wonderful findings back with us.

Where is the cake?
They're standing on it.
The joke was that they look like the little figures of a bride and groom that you often see on the top of wedding cakes.

She is in many pics with him because she has been his personal assistant since 2005.

They were taken in New Orleans at Tipitina's.
Edit: Or at least, he was so busy when he was there I can't remember if these are the pics at Tipitina's or when he visited another club, but it's definitely from this 2007 visit to New Orleans, anyway. That's his PA in the pic.

Yup, I clicked on it and could see it fine. Very nice, too!

LedHead should be the OFFICIAL name for us fans. That way all of us from this forum will be known as LedHeads.
Why?

Your right, there would have to be at least one Wal-Mart to be Arkansas.
Very true, there certainly aren't any elsewhere in America.
-
Plus Arkansas doesn't look like that!

Plant/Krauss played JazzFest in New Orleans, April 25 (if that was the Friday) 2008.
-
The "wedding cake" pic, if I remember rightly, or a similar one anyway.
-
OK, so that's what I was wondering--they weren't used separately. Thanks.

Hello thread! I can't remember when I last posted here.
(Can't remember who took this, but it was one of the people in our group)
-
not sure about post zep, but i meant during zep.
Gotcha!
-
Did he use it during the Page/Plant tours? I know it was on a lot of the flyers.
-
Playing with the camera.....again.
Another fantastic pic!

I'd guess Ted Nugent, who I also view as a narrow-minded jerk, referenced Jimmy and wiping the slobber from his face to the times when Jimmy would have saliva trailing from his gaping mouth practically to the stage floor in one slobbery string. I actually have this filmed on some bootleg video footage. It seems the concert was in Brazil, but I don't remember for sure and I sure don't have time to look it up right now.
I wouldn't bother looking it up as this applied to many (if not most) concerts during this period. But, as you say, the music was still fantastic.

Going from memory that office building was at least ten stories tall, so it is possible, but I'm not aware of any sort of come and meet the band session for the general public. Still inclined to believe it was a hotel
lobby but again it remains unconfirmed.
The first rehearsal took place in a basement, which would also explain the elevators.
-
I've seen the second pic you posted, Steve, labeled in several books as being the first ever picture of the band, at their initial rehearsal when they played Train Kept a-Rolling, the photographer having just happened across them and taken a pic. All that could be completely wrong, as I don't have the books immediately to hand, but that's what my increasingly-faulty memory says, anyway.

I don't think that's him with his sister.
No, it isn't, though it's been posted as such on other forums.

Robert with his Mum far left and his aunt next to his Mum, Maureen next to his aunt, his Dad next to Maureen, one of his children being held by his Dad haven't identified which one yet. And im pretty thats Karac being held by Robert. R.I.P by looking at Robert im guessing this was 75-76.
That's not his mum and dad. That's Karac with Robert, the other child is Carmen.
