  1. OK, so that's what I was wondering--they weren't used separately. Thanks.
  2. 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)
  3. Did he use it during the Page/Plant tours? I know it was on a lot of the flyers.
  4. 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.
  5. The first rehearsal took place in a basement, which would also explain the elevators.
  6. 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.
  7. No, it isn't, though it's been posted as such on other forums.
  8. That's not his mum and dad. That's Karac with Robert, the other child is Carmen.
  9. I'm sure you guys are right (though it's impossible to tell from the bracelet)--I was just saying that there had always been a lot of argument about it.
  10. Oh well, he should know then! The source of debate has always been about the disappearance of what I had always thought was a scar or birthmark on Robert's lower back, but is apparently a patch of hair--anyway, it's not in the pic. Photoshop strikes again?
  11. Those are beautiful, glicine! Should just mention that there's always been considerable doubt that that's Robert in the second of the two scans above.
  12. Oh, I remember Ms Dunwoody, but not what she looked like--and flight attendants tended to wear uniforms a bit like that at the time. Thanks for posting, anyway.
  13. Is that the flight attendant whose tales we may be hearing soon?
  14. Hmm--large fib about the A levels there, not to mention the exaggerated multi-instrumentalism. Combine that with a pic of him looking totally ridiculous, and for a few seconds I was wondering what I ever saw in him! Then I thought--oh yeah . . . Nice find, mikezep61.
  15. ^^ Page 3. (I'm surprised it took us that long.)
  16. ^^ Yes, I belatedly thought of that one. (Though I thought it was specifically China they were offering to play, in the cause of peace?)
  17. I'm assuming the "lamentable" publicity stunts refers to the "King of the Midlands Flower People" demonstration outside the court, but as it says "stunts," plural, was he involved in anything else?
  18. The call might have been after they had met, and Robert's visit to Pangbourne, to actually offer him the spot. It's at that point they'd have presumably talked money details. The rest sounds like Paul Rodgers' very shaky memory for the specifics--I don't think he was deliberately exaggerating or making anything up, it was just a very long time ago.
  19. This doesn't entirely make sense, in that Paul Rodgers must have known that Jimmy was with the Yardbirds, not a "big session guy".
  20. ^^ That interview and several others giving similar information (and in one case, also referring to California) are also on the Korner site mentioned earlier.
  21. I was there, it was awful. Beside the point, I know. Here's some info from alexis-korner.net--the part about Plant is near the end. No source for the quote, though. Korner sleeve notes
  22. And for that alone we thank you, quite apart from all this great work you've been doing! Great stuff.
