hecube Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yeah I know... another Celebration Day thread... Anyway, what got me going with this one is that every band member featured their symbols on stage, except Robert (that I know of). Jimmy's on his cab John Paul's on his bass Jason's (acting on behalf of his father) on a ride and on his arm! I didn't see Robert's symbol though. Anyone saw anything?

SuperDave Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Didn't notice Robert's symbol anywhere. Was his always to be seen during Zep concerts in the 70's? Always saw Jimmy's, but not sure about the others from videos of their shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always saw Jimmy's, but not sure about the others from videos of their shows. Occasionally he wore jeans that had a patch of his symbol sewn on to them. The only video or photos I've seen where the JP, JPJ and JB's symbols are all present is from the 1972 Australian / NZ Tour, not sure about Robert but he may have been wearing those jeans during those concerts?

Bayougal65 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 It is so funny you brought this up, I was thinking the other day when I watched the DVD and the Australian part where you do see all the symbols so prominent, but Roberts'. Did he ever have his symbol on anything? I don't remember ever seeing the jeans, I will have to pay more attention. I know a long while back around the time Jimmy started his site, Robert had a form of his feather circle symbol on his website ... Now unless i am overlooking something, I don't see it there.

ledzepfilm Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Jason's symbol is actually on all of his cymbals. Watch the Black Dog preview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingzoso Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 As I have mentioned previously, I have had two different (and decent) bootleg dvds of this historic O2 concert for at least 3 years now. Both were shot from people sitting in the upper levels of the O2 with most of the concert filmed with their zoom function used to the max. Obviously not shot with extreme close-ups like this professionaly shot footage. On Wednesday as I was watching the concert film in a theater in Plano, Texas, I did notice that John Paul Jones' symbol was on his bass guitar. Not the old familiar bass but what looks like a newer and sleeker bass guitar. It is very small and looks like about the size of a guitar pick. I also noticed Bonzo's symbol on the underside of Jason's Zildjians cymbals. The first time I saw it it took me by surprise so every other time they showed a similiar shot I was trying to determine if I saw what I thought I saw. Sure enough there it was. As with Jimmy's ZOSO symbol, well, it was where it always has been. By the way, I also noticed one other thing that caught my eyes. On the Orange amplifiers, I could swear that I only saw the OR GE. It seemed, or looked like to me, that the AN was blotted or distorted out. Probably just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZosofanCMR Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Two little things that stood out to me when I watched this. One, I was amused how Jimmy blocked out letters "a" and "n" from his Orange brand amps so that when you sound it out phonetically it says orgy..or..ge The second thing I noticed is in the film on "In My Time of Dying" I don't know if it was the whole song but, Jimmy's low E string seems perilously close to his A string. I kept wondering if the low E slipped out of the nut. Just minor things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 It wasn't just you. I also noticed that throughout the movie. I wonder what's the meaning behind that. I am glad that someone else noticed this. Like you, I also wonder what the meaning behind this was/is? Anyone else notice this and wonder the same? "...And It Makes Me Wonder..."

Knebby Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Did anyone else notice only women were (purposefully) included in the audience shots during this film? No I noticed the guy with the pass round his neck doing a "come on" gesture at the end when the camera panned along the whole front row - I think you have selective vision Steve.

hecube Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 It seems Jimmy likes to alter the name of his amps. The Petersburg amps are P-100 models. The "J" in front of the model number is an "artisanal" addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cofa Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The Orange amp question is a simple one. It was all down to the wonderful corporate world we live in today. Orange is also the brand name of one of the UK's main mobile phone operators. They are not however connected in any way to the Orange who make amplifiers. Where was the concert held? The O2 Arena! Who are O2? They are Orange's competitor in the world of mobile phone networks. I suspect they did not want the name of one of their rivals prominently displayed on their stage even if it is a different company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If correct, perhaps their very distinctive orange color was changed to black for the sake of the filming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are Orange OR50 and AD50 heads that are also available in a black case as well as orange colour. The cabinets were not Orange but Engl 4x12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 One thing I noticed, was something I saw in the closing credits. There is a credit given to "WIAWSNB" as it's used for the ending to "Ramble On". It is quite similar, not sure if it's exact, but enough I suppose, that they had to list a credit for this.

Geezer Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Another thing: Three P Films What are those three Ps? Page, Plant and Paul? I'm pretty sure it's a film distribution company but can also serve as an innuendo in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIAWSNN Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 WIAWSNB = What is and what should never be :-). I played in a band that did a cover of this song and it was too long to print out in full, WIAWSNB. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
