eternal light Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 what is the song " goin down south " ? Possibly "When The Levee Breaks"? I have noticed that bootleg albums rename the song titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibh23 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) Well, no way it is from "Guitar Solo" because Page would do that song on his Les Paul, and there wouldn't be the whole band accompanying him. Then, we know it's from the opening number because the movement of Page coming to his knees with the double-neck (usual Page movement that year) and playing on the 12 string, we know it's from The Song Remains The Same. Now as for the date, their outfits rarely changed in 1977, but we do have a hint, it's Plant, I don't know if he wore that blouse after it got "Burned" on May 30th, but the real indicator here are his pants which he wore rarely, they seem to be completely white, and he did use a pair of white pants on some gigs from that tour. Here are some: June 10th (it seems): June 11th (Definitively the same pants) But looking now at the June 11th photo the blouse does seem to match. I have no info on the photographer.

joiletjake Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 what is the song " goin down south " ? It's the wrong title for "I Can't Be Satisfied" by Muddy Waters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to look at all the 77 to 79 mags to see what I can come up with. Edited May 30, 2009 by Sibh23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official Site Rock'77 http://www.ledzeppelin.com/image-galleries...gazines?page=15 I am not familiar with that site..will look into it.... and I do think TSRTS seems to be the opening number/photo ...I was hoping that perhaps these photographers can be further searched for matching photo..??

Oh, I got the wrong mag, it was simply entitled "Rock" Well, apart from the White pants, it could be the blue pants. The Seattle pants to be exact. Speaking of that, I don't think this show is Seattle, unless somewhat colored, Jimmy's shoes at this gig were black not red, but really, this pic is the only one I've seen of Jimmy with red shoes from that tour.

Sibh23 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Well, I'm probably the one who doesn't believe it's Seattle, two reasons: I tend too believe this pic was originally a colour picture, Page's coloring is too good to have been added later.Plant's blouse doesn't seem to match.
