LedZep342 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Cool, yesterday there was a pic of Jimmy backstage with Eddie Kramer who I believe recorded all the MSG shows in 73'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Too bad they didn't have Mike the Fire Dancer for the whole tour...and why didn't they include the 7-29-73 footage in TSRTS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 They did. But not alot of it. Look at Black Dog, at the last line of the second verse before the ah, ah part. All up to the shot with Page with the red Paul (which is from the 1st night actually) is from the 29th. There are bits used in: Rock and Roll Celebration Day (maybe) Black Dog Over the Hills (most probably) Misty Mountain Hop SIBLY No Quarter TSRTS Dazed Heartbreaker WLL The Ocean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScreamingGallery Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Rare backstage photo from Mike Quashie, the fire dancer who appeared onstage at MSG, 7-29-73. Sam, thanks so much for sharing these rare photos of Mike Quashie. He was a NYC institution to so many of us who grew up with and danced to his music, knew of his friendship with Hendrix, saw him onstage with Zep and the Dolls, and met him later when he still lived in the Village and was frequenting Max's and other clubs in the area. Jimmy is one of the musicians who, in recent years, is said to have contributed a guitar for a fund-raiser held for Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 That second shot is actually a clip from the credits of the LZ DVD. You can see him hitting the gong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargroves Tangie Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I noticed in Mr. Quashie's pic that Jimmy is wearing the jacket with the silver lapels & fringe (my favorite Jimmy outfit) and I have always wondered why in the TSRTS movie for Rock And Roll and Black Dog he is wearing that jacket and then a different one for the other songs. Well finally now I think I might know why- was it because he only wore it on the 29th, and the only footage from that show used was those 2 songs? Was their performance on the 29th not as good as the 2 previous nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 No, he used it on the opening 3 songs on all 3 nights. It wasn't the best show of the trio of shows. He likely switches while Robert delivers a plantation. Here is a list of the songs we have footage of from them: 27th Whole show (clips, not complete) 28th Whole show minus Heartbreaker (clips, not complete) 29th Missing Rain Song, Moby Dick, Stairway, and Thank You (clips, not complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzepfilm Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Does anyone know where to find the full clip of Mike onstage dancing around the gong, I've seen the snippet on the credits for the LZDVD, but someone here told me there is a longer clip of him onstage.
