  1. I know this is purely speculative, but here I go...

    A few days ago, a recently unearthed Deep Purple proshot footage from Lanover, Maryland 76 appeared on youtbe thanks to the offical Purple Channel.

    Many fans have stated that back in the day and at that time, pretty much all of the rock concerts by big bands were filmed at the venue. I think this might increase the chances of the Zepp Landover 77 show to have been filmed professionally. Of course, Grant could have denied any prmission, but who knows...This only strenthens the chances IMO.

  2. Well, I don´t think they are all ruish, but I do understand many fans´ dissapointment. Many, really many companion disc tracks are nearly identical to the original ones.

    I own no studio bootlegs, but from what I have read, many fans would have prefered already heard stuff in good or slighly sub-standard quality rather than these alternate takes in pristine quality. And with his idea, I think JP has betrayed himself. LZ was, to his own accounts, all about feel, improvisation and spontaneity.

    Therefore and IMHO, yes this was a missed opportunity.

  3. The same thing happened to me. I had never known about Terry reid since a couple of months ago. He IS a very talented singer and guitar player. Of course, had he joined Page, things would have been dofferent, but surely awesome too. Can you imagine two guitars plus terry´s voice? That woulkd have been great!-

    Listen to Seed of memory...it has a very dark sound and terry sings beautifuly.

  4. I wanna buy some Jethro DVD... What is your recommendation Jethro?

    Although I have not seen it yet, the new live in germany looks promising. U have been able to see some songs on youtube and are all great.

    I want to know if someone here has allready seen the newest dvd their fully authorized story and has something to coment for fans to know.

  5. It's touch and go. Depends on the song. Somewhere around 1984 Ian's had some throat problems and his singing voice changed. Some say it's was due to years of cigarette/pipe smoking. Ian says it is in part due to playing the flute and it's impact on the vocal chords.

    I beleive Ian had a throat surgery in 84-85. The first album ater this was Crest of a knave, which Ian sang in a lower tone.
