Strider Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm having a debate with a friend and decided to posit the question here in hopes someone(Sam? Steve?) can confirm the answer. You know the first backstage scene in "The Song Remains the Same"? The scene right after "Black Dog" where Robert's going on about "that cosmic energy...everybody goes 'Yay- BASH!'"? Well, when Robert's saying something like "This is a song in which our forefathers blah blah blah…did you hear that?" A voice then responds "I couldn't believe it." Now, I have always thought that was Jimmy responding but a certain headstrong Texas filly I know asserts that is not so. It sure doesn't sound like Peter Grant. So, is it Jimmy? Or is it someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillumpuffer Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 The voice is almost certainly American. So maybe a member of the road crew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Melanie Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Thank you Chillumpuffer! The voice comes from the guy sitting next to Plant and has an American accent. Jimmy is across the room and is very much English, my SoCal stubborn friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 BP Fallon was there, I know he is Irish - but could it be him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'm not sold on the idea of the voice being American. BP Fallon? He definitely was there, so that's a possibility. Perhaps Danny Goldberg or Benji are also candidates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knebby Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 It's definitely not Jimmy or Benji. I think it is an American - it's the pronunciation of "believe". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Melanie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Strider, I am a mature woman who would never stoop so low as to lower your morale by exclaiming "I told you so!!" that would be mean and disrespectful. See, that wasn't me. :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 ^^^ Dance away, sweetheart...dance away. One day... The funny thing is, it's that pronounciatipn of "believe" with the long "eeeeeve" sound that had me thinking it was an English accent when I saw it as a kid.

MadScreamingGallery Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I thought it was Eddie Kramer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagefan55 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I don't think it was Eddie Kramer. I think it was probably a member of the road crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP-IT-UP Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 This is an example of the poor editing of TSRTS; the interview makes Plant look like an idiot; I'm sure he winces when he sees it, as he is what? 30 years on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sathington Willoughby Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 It's a female voice, probably a badgeholder or someone working for MSG or the band. (21:25) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabe Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Believe it man, it ain't no Englishman. Damn straight! It's Elvis Aaron Presley, throwing a disguised voice. Look at the reflections in the mirrors and you can briefly discern the back of his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
