Rock Action Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 On a side note, I always thought Nick Lowe never got his due. Anyone own "Labour Of Lust"? Oh shit, what a great album. His cover of "Switchboard Susan" is a KILLER. The whole album is a flawless mix of rock, pop and country. Pity it hasn't been available on CD in years.

There's a nice article on him in the current issue of Mojo. Not too familiar with his music though I probably know more than I'm aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I love this version of Little Sister. This was just about the time I was starting to get into Led Zeppelin. Right after ITTOD was released. Robert and Led Zeppelin always covered Elvis so well. A couple more of my faves include Heartbreak Hotel and (You're So Square), Baby I Don't Care. A particularly great version from Hamburg in '73.

It was great to see Robert sing Can't Help Falling In Love at the Arthur Lee benefit. One of my favorite Elvis tunes too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigstickbonzo Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Artistic licence - it isn't plugged in, and he's barely touching it! You can totally see Jonesy and him exchanging words with laughter the whole time. "Jonesy, how do you play this bloody thing?" Edited to Add: It's always nice of Townshend to remind us how plastered he was that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concert took place in 1979 so Zep were still a band at the time. Not sure why Jimmy didn't participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
