The Song "Bulletproof" by the young British prodigy should have been a Zep tune. If Page, Bonham Jr. and Plant esp would get off his high horse they could all give us " a song of hope" . Even in there late 50's or early 60's. I wish Jones would jump in. His genious wouldn't go un noticed/ America needs at least 1 show or a hit at least. carry on Page. Lee V

Sadly, on this date back in 1979, Jimmy gave an extremely poor performance on a night when he should've been at his best. I'll always wonder exactly WTF was wrong with him that night.

His playing in Copenhagen and the 1st night at Knebworth was very good, but for this show, yuk. I can't listen to this show.

Some people are so lost in the moment they can't hear the bad performance. You'd think they'd be listening, but they seem not to be.

Reminds me how some deadheaded types just twirl and twirl away, while the noodling often goes way out of kilter.

That perception of 'off kilter posting' doesn't seem to be lost on the 'twirlers' of this board though. :lol:

Imagine that.

On 14 August 2009, it was announced via the Wolverhampton Wanderers text message news service that "Rock Legend and lifelong Wolves fan Robert Plant is to become the club's third Vice President." Plant officially received the honour before kick off of the club's first match of the season against West Ham.

And here he is with all his Wolverhampton memorabilia

Aug 19th 1971, Led Zeppelin kicked off a North American tour at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, Canada. The band played to a sold out crowd of over 17,000 fans, another 3,000 fans outside the venue who didn't have tickets started a battle with local police.
