dazedjeffy Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I think it was originally posted in the Led Zeppelin FAQ that the guitarist in the band Cinnamon had a Andy Manson Acoustic Tripleneck. I've never seen a picture of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Great photos Steve. The first store had quite an extensive amount of LZ shows. Yes, Blind Faith is my favorite among the ten or so independent music stores I have found in the Nishi-Shinjuku district. The owner told me Jimmy has come in to shop there five times! Unsure if he meant thru the years or just during that stay in Tokyo (January 2008) but I hope to get clarification on the details. I also hope to post more photos soon of Jimmy shopping in other stores within the district. I've already taken the photos I just need to find the time to post them.

SteveAJones Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hey Steve. Do you happen to have this elsewhere? Thanks! I can get a copy from the taper, if that's what you mean. I was in the bootleg district again tonight. I picked up about 30 titles. Typhoon conditions are forecasted for this weekend so I'll just hunker down at home and listen to concert recordings. Listening to a Coverdale/Page soundcheck from Yoyogi Olympic Pool (1993) at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that the link no longer exists and you know, I kinda, sorta, maybe have somewhat murky feelings toward Mr Page. Seeing the interview might be a nice experience for me. Good luck with the weather. At least having to stay indoors will keep you out of trouble... maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited a few bootleg stores in that area, and Blind Faith seemed to be the best of the bunch. I've scored a few Zep and Who CDs from them (and of course the Knebworth 79 DVDs). I remember walking in the first time; seeing that wall of Led Zep bootlegs, and having to resist the child-in-a-sweetshop urge.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
