ZoSo1960 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I can not get enough of Jimmy; this feature "On This Day" is the best. I want to thank the forum for doing this archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyPhantom Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Ooh he was churlish in that interview, before the personality transplant. He's now Gentleman Jim Just kidding - he had reason to be wary and even hostile toward the press. P.S. I love the spooky track playing today "The Window." Doomy vibes, baby. Do you think that attitude change has to do with his substance abuse, like if it was cause he was still into it or trying to get clean? Or has he just matured since then? Not bashing Jimmy, just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hated doing interviews but he was much more insulated during the Zep days so they were few and far between. He had to do them during the Firm since he was one of the two selling points of the band, Paul Rodgers being the other. Zep sold itself but Jimmy had to allow himself to be more accessable to the public in order to get the Firm a brighter spotlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy should fire the ESL bumpkins he has working for him and hire you, Miss Melanie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hecube Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I don't know how that came about but I love that it's Jimmy taking the smooth melody repeats at the end. Somehow, it fits him like a glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aen27 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 9/22/11 On this day… 22 Sep 1965 John Mayall released Witch Doctor / Telephone Blues Today sees the release of the single 'I'm Your Witch Doctor' and 'Telephone Blues' on Immediate Records, where I was a producer. It was recorded at Pye Studios with jazzer Hughie Flint on drums, John McVie on bass, John Mayall on keyboards and vocals and Eric Clapton on guitar. It was recorded in June of 1965. When 'Witch Doctor' came to be overdubbed, Eric had this idea to put this feedback wail over the top. I was with him in the studio as he set this up, then I got back into the control room and told the engineer to record the overdub. About two thirds of the way through, he pulled the faders down and said: "This guitarist is impossible to record". I guess his technical ethics were compromised by the signal that was putting the meters into the red. I suggested that he got on with his job and leave that decision to me! Eric's solo on 'Telephone Blues' was just superb. I would like to have seen Ainsley Dunbar on drums in the studio for 'Witch Doctor'. I also produced 'Sitting On Top of the World', showing John Mayall's blues to Top 20 ambitions, and 'Double Crossing Time', an ironic title as the next time I heard of them they were in the very capable hands of Mike Vernon - famed blues producer. It was a good move: Eric left The Yardbirds because they had Top 20 aspirations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love what Jimmy writes here about the recording of this single...and especially what he has to say about Eric's playing and performance on it. It's always fascinating for me to read about Jimmy's experiences as a producer and the musical decisions he made. I love the Mayall-Clapton collaboration...a long time ago my husband introduced me to the album "Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton" and it remains a favorite to this day.

Those are the pictures he posted. I love this one too. I can hear him as he told that story about his desicion how to record this in the '77 interview. I can hear him say 'Turn up the faders and do what I say." in that soft voice of his. Edited September 21, 2011 by aen27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 This photo is of the Lady Birds. They were the support act for both "Yardbirds" gigs on September 8, 1968 (at Reventlow Parken in Horslunde, Lolland, Denmark and the Fjordvilla in Roskilde, Denmark). That probably wouldn't work here in America..... But if the ladies had covered themselves in blood, and fake baby body parts.... then all would be OK. Because after all, there's nothing more obscene than the naked natural body ! ! ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see the photos but I wasn't able to copy them from here. Jimmy's OTDs are filled with great little stories like this one. I can imagine him saying it too at that session: So soft-voiced, so young, so brilliant.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZep342 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I don't get it, what does the video footage have to do with Zep, it's just a bunch of footage from Japan around the 70's I guess, at first I thought this was new footage... anyone have the link to youtube?

Look at the text under the title "Watch Video". He explains that he, Jimmy Page, shot the video "were my early impressions on a newly aquired Super 8 cine-camera."

ro_a Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 thanks for the help on this one. I can't the Japan scenery film to run and the link to the Live Japan boot isn't active. If I had to pick one and only one representation of the best LZ could be live, Japan 1971 is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
