SteveAJones Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) I have read that there is a audio bootleg from this. Do you something know about this collaboration? The Crystal Bay Club on Highway 28 in Crystal Bay, NV is not far from Incline Village, NV where Jimmy & David Coverdale were writing material for a new album. Jimmy got up to jam with Solid Ground one night. There's an excellent 80 minute audio recording in circulation (released as a bootleg titled Up In Smoke) but I've never seen any photos or video of the jam.

SuperDave Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 All these free download links are not available anymore. If you search very hard, I'm sure you can find it. It's an ok performance with a lot of oldies performed (no Zep), but I felt Jimmy used way too much distortion. It got a bit annoying at times.

kenog Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) http://renebestguitarist.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/jimmy-page-and-solid-groundmay-29-1991.html Jimmy Page and Solid Ground / May 29, 1991 A band I played in “Solid Ground” played with Jimmy Page at the Crystal Bay Club on May 29, 1991, Funny things happen when you're packing to move; you find a lot of the stuff you thought you lost. Last night after all these years I found part of a recording of the night Jimmy Page played with Solid Ground. I hope to find the rest of the recording. We did have pictures of the show but the keyboardist for the band ripped them off. He also is the one the band suspects boot legged the recording of the show against Jimmy’s wishes, after he specifically told the band that night not to do it. I want Jimmy to know the rest of the band had nothing to do with the boot legged recordings. Bill Glahn reviewed the recording on his blog in March 1993. He was tough on the band, Thank God he liked my singing "The male vocalist, a very good southern belter, is prone to calling Page “son.” I don't remember calling Jimmy son. It is a southern thing though, y'all know what I mean? I don't know why the recording is titled "Up In Smoke". Funny thing is, that is what happened to our relationship with the keyboardist, totally burnt to ashes. Reminds me of another situation with a nasty ex band mate. I do plan on posting these recordings of the show (Not for Profit) on my website. Jimmy was playing my guitar and Debbie McIntyre sang Hang On Sloopy and I sang the rest of the songs. Finding these recordings has led me to see what was out there on the internet about that night. I cannot believe the curiosity and information that has been posted. At the very least I want folks out there to know the story and give credit to where credit is due and mention all the band members who played on that recording with Jimmy Page. Well maybe not all, I will just ignore the damn keyboardist. I have worked with many musicians with pleasant and difficult dispositions. It is only the very worst of those that I refuse to have any association with, and refuse to recall anytime I spent with them, or mention them on my website www.renebest.net. That reminds me, I still have to write a disclosure about my website which I own and control all content, and the person who is spreading bogus lies, that "It's Not Really Rene's Website". In the mean time if anyone feels the need to know about the motives of the person behind the bogus complaints board comments you can cell me @ 775-378-7084 Edited July 7, 2012 by kenog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I REALLY want to hear this concert. Does no one have a link they can send me since I see none in the thread. Plus I couldn't find something online on my own to save my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Death Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I REALLY want to hear this concert. Does no one have a link they can send me since I see none in the thread. Plus I couldn't find something online on my own to save my life. It's funny, but the fifth time I met Jimmy, in 1998 on the Page/Plant tour, I gave him a copy of this show on tape. CD-R's weren't that common then, and I included artwork and all the song titles. He looked genuinely shocked to get it. Don't know if he ever listened to it, though he said he would. I still have the tape around here somewhere. Jimmy's guitar is cranked up big time in the mix if memory serves, but it's a cool boot to have.

Dr Death Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Did he play some awesome solos on it? Nothing earth-shattering, but then again, he was playing with what I would call an average at best, house band. I've been in and around bands for over 30 years, so I think I'm qualified enough to say what is and what isn't a good local band. Jimmy certainly makes the songs better... but nothing like Zeppelin or Coverdale/Page. He's surrounded by mediocrity and it shows... not in his playing... but what is backing him up. That said... still a fun and interesting boot to own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvlz2 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Didn't realize that there was an extended recording of this in existence that's going to be seeing the light of day through Japanese bootleg label Wardour. Wonder how much more will be on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boleskinner Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Jeezo, that blog post above on the CD is full of bitter recriminations and almost puts me off listening to it. Anyway, jams are jams, especially with house bands, so I'm not getting my hopes up. I remembering listening to Page's jam with Jaco Pastorius and the one he did at Phil Carson's nigthclub with Jason Bonham, and both were underwhelming.

According to the thread I read, Jimmy was in the area for Coverdale / Page rehearsals and joined in for some fun at the local bar. There is a little hiss, but otherwise a very nice sounding recording (although Jimmy is a little low in the mix) - check the sample ***** 44 khz / 16 bit version ***** (CD Version) Jimmy Page with the Solid Ground Band May 29, 1991 (1991-05-29) Crystal Bay Club Crystal Bay (Lake Tahoe), Nevada USA 01.[01:37] Introduction 02.[12:02] Spider in Your Web 03.[02:42] banter 04.[10:21] Steamroller 05.[07:52] Johnny B Goode 06.[06:23] Hound Dog > Blue Suede Shoes 07.[07:04] Smokin' Again 08.[09:29] Slow Down 09.[08:41] Old Time Rock n Roll 10.[07:53] Kansas City 11.[11:46] Louie, Louie > Wild Thing > Hang On Sloopy Total 1:25:50 Edited August 27, 2017 by JTM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
