ally Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 ...and below our link from the Photo Book discussion;...Zeppelin actually arrived on the 15th Feb...and all that confusion about Jimmy's beard, that is a thing of a legend now...it wasn't just Australia trying to figure out who Jimmy was, the rest of world was also; I wished his love affair with beard would have lasted at least couple more years (just think all of the pictures we could post now!!)...He looks absolutley divine in beard...then again, when he doesn't... Planet,in real life circa mid 70 and 71 he looked like the second coming of Christ ! Played the Les Paul just like him too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reswati Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I missed the Page/Plant 1998 tour because I was visiting India and Nepal right then. There is no thing as beautiful as the early morning mist rising from the Kathmandu valley, the green colour that one sees is just beyond description. I can imagine this magickal place enchanted Jimmy, would love to go there again in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine this magickal place enchanted Jimmy, would love to go there again in the future. You're a decade or so behind me, Reswati - I was trekking through those same countries during Jimmy's Outrider Tour so I didn't see any of those shows. I don't regret it at all and would make the same choice again and again. I agree with you as far as the Kathmandu Valley (as well as Pokhara and, especially, Chitwan). If I were to have painted a picture of those places with their vivid shades of green I might have been accused of exaggerating the beauty and colors (or, had it existed at the time, photoshopping). Nepal is a magical (magickal) place and I hope Jimmy was similarly enchanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, AEN and PlanetPage. Jimmy's photos are lovely! His photos bring back the magnificence and the spirituality...but also the ambiance - when I look at the street scenes, I can remember exactly how it smelled, how the air felt. When we were there, in a building overlooking the square in Jimmy's photos, lived a beautiful little girl who was a living goddess or a goddess reincarnated - at a certain time of day she would appear at the window of the room where she was being kept - I took a photo of her and when I look at it, I wonder what her life was like, what happened her. PlanetPage, it was interesting to read the impressions of the man who returned to Kathmandu after an absence of so many years - I often feel the same way when I return to a place for a second or third visit. Interesting that Ross calls the sadhus, "sandus." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 19th Feb'12 http:// Regarding the jam with Mason at Muddy Waters' Club I show it was Feb 19th 1993 - a Friday night - and they jammed together again at The Howlin' Wolf on Feb 21st (Sunday night). I believe Jimmy was visiting his son while enroute to England at the time after completing his first round of Coverdale/Page promotional duties at the Bel-Air Hotel near Los Angeles. If this does not jog Jimmy's memory perhaps he merely attended these gigs but did not perform as reported in fanzines at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that Ross calls the sadhus, "sandus." .....Hi MSG and AEN 27...they are really beautiful photos just too close to the heart...MSG you are so very fortunate to experience Nepal in person...My earliest memories are from Grade 7 when Sir Hillary and Tan Seng climbed the Mount Everest...One of the most prominent Legendary Personality from Nepal (with Zeppelin Connection) is Chief Editor of The Junior Statesman (long gone days now/out of print)... The Late Desmond Doig, author, journalist, architect, landscape designer... Here is his Masterpiece Malla Hotel Garden that he designed.... http://www.explorehimalaya.com/blog/the-malla-hotel/ Desmond's Exhibition/Article/His watercolors... http://www.nepalitimes.com/issue/274/Review/9208 Press conference of Sir Edmund Hillary's 1960 Himalayan expedition to search for the legendary Yeti. Shown at the conference are: Marlin Perkins, zoologist and director of the Lincoln Park Zoo; Sir Edmund Hillary; Khumjo Chumbi, a Sherpa guide; and Desmond Doig, official correspondent for World Book. A skull is on the table. http://doig.net/THOM1752.html And then one day came JS. Desmond Doig’s baby took the stodge out of the Statesman and brought to all young people the changes that had been happening in fashion, style, music and sensibilities since the middle and late sixties in the West. It brought together elements of Bollywood and the far-away rock legends – where else could you see a picture of Bibi Bonesetter sprawled seductively across the folded page one page over from a time-phased photo of Carl Palmer’s drumsticks flashing through his performance with ELP? This is where Ajit Singh and Asha Putli became known while a generation discovered The Who, Led Zeppelin, Traffic and Jethro Tull. Centerfolds featured rock stars and Bollywood actors. JS gave us Cordell shirts, paisley see-throughs and bellbottoms. http://ajeshthelastword.wordpress.com/tag/desmond-doig/ ...an article by Dubby Bhagat ...one of the Editors of Junior Statesman, now Food Critic with The The Himalayan Times (Dubby once met Page at Ronnie Scott's around '73 likely early months as he was corresponding from London for JS) http://thehimalayantimes.com/10years/veterans.php?Vid=NDI0 ....All of these former editors of Junior Statesman have seen best of Nepal, the youth culture from the Heydays to present.... ...I have not seen any television or film until Late 1971...I saw the vintage posters of films depicting Nepal/Khatmandu culture of that time... ...and my apologies for typo's... yes, I did note the reference to Sadhus from R. Halfin's Diary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really thought about what they did during the breaks from the famous tours like the '75 one was. ...it is so true AEN, it is really interesting just how the timeline logically falls....very thankful to the Master Musician for sharing his personal memories again and again...how sweet of him simply.... AEN, I have seen the intoxicating liquids being collected in pitchers tied to high under the palm trees in India...slowly the pitcher is filled in few weeks and used as a drink by the natives around countryside and shops...etc... MSG may recall these as well, as she has travelled so much in India and world over... as for the Dominica, Feb. 18, 1975 Richard Cole has not written anything in Stairway to Heaven, (I checked, I hope I didn't miss it, but Richard did write about Jimmy's trip to Guideloupe'77 vacation...) Writer Stephen Davis has mentioned this Dominica'75 Trip (I am sure I remember this trip from HOTG)...Page 240 ..."After two more shows in New York the band took a ten day break. Jimmy and Robert flew to the Caribbean Island of Dominica, while the rest of the group went home to their families..." .."two weeks later the tour was back on. Everyone was rested, and Jimmy and Robert brought back vague tales of the Dominica Rastafarians, of eating hallucinatory boiled jellyfruit, of having had nothing to smoke...Led Zeppelin was now touring Texas and the South." Page 241 ...................... Here is a breathtaking photo gallery of Dominica link which shows the Cricket Stadium of Roseau for International Matches...

SteveAJones Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Mr. Page has mentioned the "green fairy" twice in two days, maybe that is what is causing the memory problems! LOL! Good point. With regard to the first time they met (March 1985), according to Mason Ruffner, Jimmy and Tony Franklin walked in during his set at the Old Absynthe House and introduced himself. Mason invited Jimmy to jam that night but although he turned down the invitation he did give Mason tickets to The Firm's tour-ending concert in New Orleans (March 24, 1985). Mason said with the tour completed Jimmy jammed with him two nights in a row at the Old Absynthe House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aen27 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Mr. Page has mentioned the "green fairy" twice in two days, maybe that is what is causing the memory problems! I noticed he mentioned it in two days too! For anyone else who has the Raving Arizona (Mesa Outrider show) on DVD will know that Mason was the interviewed at the very end. He seemed very nice and honored to open for Jimmy. It was so nice of Jimmy to include him in a OTD. I loved learning a little more about him.
