I definitely remember him playing the Puple #3 Les Paul at the end of the 1985 Forum show. Yes, on Boogie Mama and Everybody Needs Somebody to Love.

We had a blast in the upper deck at the Tempe Activities Center this March night back in 1985. Thoroughly enjoyed this concert. This picture is definitely during WS/BMS. I'll post the second picture shortly. Very difficult photos to work with so this is probably the best that can be done with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeppcollect Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 This 2-CD just turned up on the "grey market" via amazon: SUPERB 1985 BROADCAST RECORDING FROM THE FIRM With Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers Formed in 1984 by singer Paul Rodgers, guitarist Jimmy Page, drummer Chris Slade and bass player Tony Franklin, The Firm were among the most successful and popular rock supergroups of all time. As Paul Rodgers remembers; "Jimmy was at a bit of a loose end. He'd come round and check out my home studio and we ended up writing songs, but without any definite plans. Jimmy was very keen to get back on the road, so we put a band together The first thing I knew was that he had to be writing songs again. I'd already seen one of my friends going down that road in Koss, and it wasn't going to happen again." During their tenure, The Firm released two studio albums; their eponymous debut in 1985, and Mean Business in 86. The band played a few dates in the UK at the end of 1984, and toured the US in both 1985 and 1986. One of the finest gigs the Firm performed however was at London s Wembley Arena on 22nd May 1985, when they played a quite astonishing set which was recorded for live FM Radio Broadcast across the UK and the US, and which remains a formidable example of mid-1980s British rock music at its very best. Previously unreleased, this entire recording is now available for the first time on this new 2 CD Set. DISC 1 1. Closer 4:00 2. City Sirens 4:43 3. Make Or Break 5:16 4. The Morning After 5:10 5.

Neither MTV nor The Firm seem interested in doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvlz2 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Dreaming is one of my absolute favorite Firm songs and Tony Franklin on an acoustic guitar playing it in the above video is just absolutely pure Firm bliss to me!

LedZeppfan1977 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I saw Jimmy Page and the Firm in Rochester back in their peak. I wonder. WHAT IF, Page had joined with Ian Gillian of Deep Purple instead? Man, can you imagine that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
