John Paul Jones payed on Terry's 1st album as well, on 2 songs - that's according to Bill Bonham... you probably know that. Very interesting... do you know if the offer was made to Winwood? I've seen the name mentioned before but don't know how seriously he was considered.

Thanks, so I guess a threat was highly unlikely... I was just wondering if Jimmy actually tried to talk with Keith or just gave up, just like he gave up on Steve Marriott, but I guess we'll never know... (Ironically in Steve's case there were also rumors of threats... Most likely though Jimmy's offer just wouldn't stand a chance - a yet-to-be-formed band vs Small Faces who had a #1 album in 1968? A no-brainer at the time.)

Steve, I really hope you can help with this one which indeed is a mystery to me. This concerns the Jimmy Page - Terry Reid - Keith Richards "triangle." Apparently Terry was actually interested in Jimmy's offer but there was at least one little problem: he had two US tours booked, one of them with the Stones.... so he told Jimmy You better call Keith because he's not going to be happy... The question is - did Jimmy call? I saw the following comment on YouTube by supermanoliver: "...supposedly jimmy page asked keith richards if they could work something out and keith then threatened page or some crazy shit like that." Is that just a rumor?

Oh. I guess it's a "Duh" kind of info for me... shows how much I know LA... Thanks bunches! You rock, seriously.

Wow, respect, man, I only knew of 2004 one, though I suspected there were more... hold on a minute, wasn't that at the Joint? I remember reading he was driven to the Joint to see Terry... lemme try to locate the source. Might take a while LOL

I remember reading somewhere that Jimmy personally phoned Terry Reid before the gig - just before TR was to go on stage, to give encouragement... coincidentally or not, that was the gig where Terry played one of Jimmy's guitars. I apologize for the lack of exact quote, I don't remember the source or even the date (some time in 200?) but it adds to the impression that Jimmy is a caring dude no doubt.
