Geezer Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 No rumour. Fact. It is brilliant. I asked the guy to prove he had it and he showed me :34seconds of the opening.Can you describe the footage? Was it multi-camera? What angle was it shot from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Knebs Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 But until your guy shows us all... Is it? I will let him answer and vouch for himself as I am not in a place of declaring something authentic or otherwise. Maybe foolishly so, am 100% confident that these will be available beyond the private circles and hoarders someday. Over the years I have seen my collection expand to include shows that I was convinced did not exist. Now YouTube is only a click away thankfully.

Geezer Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Wait... Are there two different tapes from two different 1980 shows (17 June and 29 June)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcórë Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I will let him answer and vouch for himself as I am not in a place of declaring something authentic or otherwise. The question is: Will this mysterious person step forward? Frankly, if the person is in possession of such material, the "right" thing to do would be to present it to the surviving members of Led Zeppelin.

Dallas Knebs Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 correct and I expect that Vienna and Cologne are as well. Frankly, if the person is in possession of such material, the "right" thing to do would be to present it to the surviving members of Led Zeppelin. agreed. I cannot imagine though that any members of the band being at a loss to gather and collect anything that they want already. ... except a Black Beauty Les Paul which hasn't found it's way home yet.

TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I've heard 2 rumours about Zurich film it was either an in house single camera video or Bob Welch recorded the whole show for the band from the balcony. But it's pretty much in the same rumour mills of there being full Zeppelin II recording video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 This doesn't make any sense at all. Assuming the logo on the first photo is Shirley's, doesn't that automatically mean that the tapes are in Jimmy's possession?We need photos from that concert.

Haha, now that would be quite the find! This doesn't make any sense at all. Assuming the logo on the first photo is Shirley's, doesn't that automatically mean that the tapes are in Jimmy's possession? You seem to be right -- I might be getting all confused about who showed who what. (The second pic would appear to be Knebs' source, since the Caveman's sigil is missing.)

TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 That tape says 1980 June, First. How do we know that's just not Ampex reel from the crowd shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Knebs Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 doesn't that automatically mean that the tapes are in Jimmy's possession? Yes. As Shirley is quoted as say they viewed and reviewed tapes from 1968-1980. That is not a misquote or a mistake. The only things Caveman had to work with was provided at the hands of Jimmy Page. They came from Page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas Knebs Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 With respect, your statement that there are no tapes from 1968 is incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 What tapes from 1968 are you referring to? I've never even heard anything regarding footage from 1968. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcórë Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 "Tapes from 1968" is a vague statement. Multi-tracked audio might exist, but there's really no proof either way -- I'm calling Knebs' bluff on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Knebs Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 That is not my statement- on the record in multiple interviews, you are calling Kevin Shirley's bluff sir. Keep it straight. Your difficulty is with him and what he says, let him own it. I will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Kevin Shirley? Isn't that the guy who mistakenly referred to the 1970 RAH concert as 1969? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-tracked audio might exist, but there's really no proof either way -- I'm calling Knebs' bluff on this one.I find it highly unlikely that a band that had not even released a studio album would multitrack a show.

Dallas Knebs Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I tend to hold someone as credible when they are held in so high a regard as to be trusted by Jimmy Page to work on Led Zeppelin projects. HTTWW and TSRTS are huge projects for Led Zeppelin. While my tastes diverge from Caveman's tastes, Jimmy Page could have selected anyone he wanted. That's trust. That's good enough for me. I am no one to try to discredit another. Shirley did not give details on tapes from 1968 whether they be multitracked. I would guess mono. I own a handful of tapes from this era (none Led Zeppelin) and they are each mono. Excellent quality, just mono. Sometimes mono sounds better to me anyway. As a fan, I am not so important to think that I have to believe that something exists- in order for it to actually exist. I just enjoy and share what is available to me. The last 10 years has been a wonderful experience with all the new boots and label releases. Looking forward to many, many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 What makes you think Shirley implied that there are tapes from 1968? He just said "1968-1980" to refer to the band's entire history. Doesn't automatically mean that he's in possession of anything from 1968. Don't forget that he once erroneously referred to the RAH show as 1969.

Cookie0024 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Wow, just found this. Looks like Jimmy discussed the upcoming box sets with Gene Simmons. November 6, 2012 The young man, Nick Simmons, playing Jimmy Page's guitar (!!!) used on Led Zep II for an as-yet unofficial studio venture. Stay tuned.

Cookie0024 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Sounds like a complete bullshit. If it was anyone other than Gene, then I'd take it slightly seriously. Still a strange post though. That guitar was used for studio recordings that were released. Is he talking about unreleased Led Zeppelin material or Jimmy Page solo material? This must have been at the same time as the Esquire Magazine photo shoot, it's the guitar that was in the bed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
