PlanetPage Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'm very happy that Jimmy puts ''The Exhibition of SWINGING LONDON 50's-60's：Design and Culture Revolution'' event on today's On This Day.I went to Tokushima Modern Art Museum to see this wonderful exhibition last October. This is one of the displays at Nagasaki Museum,where Jimmy must have had a talk show with Paul Reeves(designer)and Michael Whiteway(the event organizer) on last April. Both of them are Jimmy's long-time friends and they did great job for this exhibition. (from Nagasaki keizai Shinbun website)http://nagasaki.keiz...z/headline/191/ According to the advertising poster,the photos of guitars were taken by Scarlet Page, and the photos of Jimmy's outfits were taken by Hanako Whiteway for the pamphlet,who is a fashoin photographer and M.Whiteway's daughter.They really did good job too. ....Tks Alice for all of your wonderful commentary from Japan, truly enjoyable and informative.... ...also in the booklet there is "The Interview" as seen in the photos of This day...is there any link to this interview? or are there any photo's of Paul Reeve with Jimmy Page? I have not come across any photos of Paul Reeves at all... ....On a related note, here is a documentary "Revolution" about the 60's...in this Promotional video/ad there is a bit of interview excerpt with Charlotte Martin among many others... http://www.revolutiondocumentary.com/ ...another link about "The Look" - quite bit of Led Zeppelin in Fashion in this blog... http://www.myspace.c.../blog/256555144 ...Granny Takes a Trip - where Jimmy purchased lots of clothes... ...A look at London - 60's Fashion....

Alice75 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Thank you so much for this addition as always, Alice75. I love this suit and his black shirt with the emerald stones he included. You are welcome,aen.And thank you for today's OTD too.I loved to see Michael Lee playing because he was always cheerfully playing.I miss him....I'm sure Jimmy misses him too. ....Tks Alice for all of your wonderful commentary from Japan, truly enjoyable and informative.... ...also in the booklet there is "The Interview" as seen in the photos of This day...is there any link to this interview? or are there any photo's of Paul Reeve with Jimmy Page?

You are welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed my post,PP. Jimmy's interview in the pamphlet is his conversation with Paul Reeves and Michael Whiteway and it is all written in Japanese language.Jimmy talks about guitar,music and his school days etc...it is very interesting.But it's hard for me to translate into English(sorry!). Unfortunately there is no link of this article too,only in the pamphlet. This is the last page of 'interview'.Jimmy talks about Eric and Jeff too here. The man on far left is Paul Reeves in this photo and I don't have any photos of Jimmy with him.If Jimmy visited Nagasaki last year,perhaps we would have seen it.What a shame! And thank you so much for the links related to the swinging 60's and fashion.I have seen them before except for"The Look"(I'll see it later slowly),but I enjoyed again. Charlotte also contributed her lovely stuffs(from the 60's) to the Exhibition.I love this colorful and psychedelic shoes,which she designed.

FireOpal Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Is it just my sound system or has Jimmy's guitar been taken out? Mine too, he's extremely low (volume wise) in the mix. So why does he say, "Not a bad balance on this one" unless he's being very droll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecube Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I can hear Jimmy just fine. He's got the extremely fuzzy tone and uses his Whammy pedal extensively in that recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Melanie Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I understand why Page and Plant wanted to rework some of the Zep classics but IMHO this version doesn't work because the power is gone, the power of Jimmy's riff in tandom with Jonesy's bass and Bonham's drums acting as a V12 engine bearing down on your soul. In this version the poor old dog seems to have become arthritic, a bit deaf, lost it's bite and has as much power as a Toyota Prius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScreamingGallery Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 ...Hi MSG - tks for that recall....AEN27 already posted these in this link: Photos From Jimmy's Autobio... http://forums.ledzep...ok/page__st__80 ...and Today's Entry Jimmy Looking absolutely Ultra Cool in Black.... You're welcome, PlanetPage... Jimmy does look fantastic in that photo from Tokyo...he must have cut quite an elegant figure when he was out and about in the city. Thank you,PlanetPage,for putting today's OTD.Jimmy met Sofia Coppola in fact at this hotel on March, 2004.From Ross Halfin's diary(look at his entry of 10th), http://www.rosshalfi...-march-2004.php Park Hyatt Tokyo is Jimmy's very favorite and his recent usual hotel in Japan.My husband and I had stayed at this hotel in 2009.It was so quiet,luxurious and comfortable. http://www.parkhyatttokyo.com/ This is facebook fan page of Park Hyatt Tokyo http://www.facebook....gid=17037232329 I remember when Ross posted that journal entry about the meeting between Jimmy and Sofia...I think the photos of the two together are beautiful. Thank you for the links, Alice. I've never stayed at the Park Hyatt but it looks like a very luxurious place. I'm sure the service is impeccable - wherever we've stayed in Japan (including at the old Fujiya), the service has been outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScreamingGallery Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Jan. 29/'12 Thank you for capturing the images from Jimmy's OTD, PlanetPage. I've enjoyed discussing and looking at the images from this exhibition. I think it was such a romantic and beautiful time for fashion. I'm very happy that Jimmy puts ''The Exhibition of SWINGING LONDON 50's-60's：Design and Culture Revolution'' event on today's On This Day.I went to Tokushima Modern Art Museum to see this wonderful exhibition last October.

I'm glad you were able to attend this exhibition, Alice. I remember that after the tragic earthquake and tsunami there was some question about whether the exhibition would go on as planned. I'm sorry that Jimmy was unable to attend - I remember reading the letter he posted expressing his regrets and mentioning how his family had cautioned him against going to Japan at that time, so soon after the disaster. I love all of Jimmy's and Charlotte's outfits and accessories. Charlotte's mod shoes that she painted with the paisley/psychedelic-type designs similar to those that were on Jimmy's guitar at that time are lovely. I remember reading Charlotte's comment about wearing those shoes when she was at The Pheasantry with Eric. I also love the Native American dress, moccasins, and necklace that Eric had given her. I think it's wonderful that Jimmy and Charlotte both took such good care of these remarkable clothes that they wore in the 1960's. If yourself or anyone else would like to send me scans of the pamphlet content I can commission a Japanese friend to translate it into English and then share it with the forum. I'm sorry to say the programs sold out immediately, before I could obtain one. Steve, I have some scans of the brochure from this exhibition and below each of the Japanese captions is a brief caption in English. The scans were given to me by someone who attended it so I don't want to share without asking for permission first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadScreamingGallery Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 01/31/2012 I'm so happy to see that Jimmy acknowledged this epic 1969 concert on his OTD for January 31. Although I didn't live far from the Fillmore, I was too young to have attended...the Fillmore and the neighborhood around it were part of another world - one that I wasn't allowed to enter in 1969. I have several friends (who at that time were the older siblings of my classmates, we became friends later, when I was older and the gap between us wasn't so vast) who were at this show - they regularly went to all the Fillmore shows and they would share their stories with us....they still remember this night, seeing LZ at the Fillmore, as one of the greatest nights of music they ever heard, one of the greatest bands who made their debut on that stage. I have a long-time brother-in-law who was also there that night and I still love to hear him talk of his experiences. Aen, do you or anyone else here remember the name of the photographer who took this series of photos?

In any case, his film footage and his special memory of that night are wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this bit on Jay Good Photography... http://www.manta.com...ood-photography ...I also found this interesting video on Filmore East.... ...another video also very interesting... ...Tks for sharing wonderful memories about Filmore East - I didn't realize the type of area this venue was in - your recollections are always so informative and adds such charming details to the Entry....really it makes it bit more understandable and the events come to life with real people with real experiences.... ....it is a beautiful entry, a new beginning from new era....as Jimmy wanted to rewrite the era with his Zeppelin...

nirvana Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Jimmy has been so frustrating with his web site and the total lack of interesting output, new or old. His site has turned into a museum...lots of tributes to the past but nothing to do with the future. It's killing me to be this frustrated with my most favorite musician. He really is the best but why has he faded like the sun before a winter's night - too early! It's dark and cold without his creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said at beginning he wanted to feature his past, presant, and future.

There have been so many errors that how can we be sure it's actually Jimmy and not a "Team" member? His site is a museum full of dusty memories.

Thank you for your warm and gracious comment,MSG!Yes,we were very sorry that Jimmy didn't visit Nagasaki because of the great disaster,but I'm sure he will come to see Japanese fans again in the near future.I was really fascinated by Jimmy's outfits and I was sure again that he had been very thin and had a great style.Of course Charlotte's ones were also beautiful.I also love her native American dress.Though we don't understand it in the photo,the hem of the dress is asymmetry line.I think it is so cute. It isn't permitted that we freely take pictures in the museum in Japan,so I could not get any photos inside the museum.I feel so sorry for it.

I personally see this OTD is Jimmy's semi-autobiography. I heard Jimmy tended to forget the names or faces of people whom he had met in the past,so I believe every OTD is done by himself.
