I believe there will be a way to see everything, but Jimmy's speech will be there! I wish I could, but I have no way in. It will be much easier to watch on line, anyway via the website. I am curious how long he will stay, but I can't believe he is coming to Boston! It's May 9th that he will give his speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ddladner Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Wow...thanks for posting the information aen27, I can't wait to hear Jimmy's address! A night the Berklee seniors will never forget!! Wonder what they will play to honor Jimmy. And..CONGRATULATIONS Dr. Jimmy!! Another well deserved recognition!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in that ultra cool British accent!!)...and you should watch him in your Original Jimmy Page Scarf, on it's way just in time, how is that for Page and his Pagette!!

zosorose Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Just wanted to bring to everyone's attention that another article mentioned his speech being on the 10th during the ceremony. That would make a lot more sense and I think that first article simply made an error. Just wanted to make sure no one interested missed it! I also am trying to get extra tickets for those on here that mentioned wanting them. It is a really slim chance but I will do what I can! I also heard rumors that they are playing a lot of Zep songs and some sort of medley during the concert. No idea how accurate that is and no idea if Jimmy will be joining in, but it is something to think about! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aen27 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Thanks for straightening that out. The 10th would make more sense. I would still love to go, but the website will show it, so either way, no one will mss out. I just don't know when he would come back to Boston. I can not wait to hear his speech!! Those students have no idea what they are in for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those students have no idea what they are in for! I'll let you know! I also did a bit of digging around the event. Apparently when the Eagles were honored there was a brief tribute to each member at the concert the night before and I think they got on stage for it. Then the students performed around 9 Eagles songs. I am assuming that is the standard procedure for each honoraree. The Eagles did not opt to perform but most of them have in the past like Steven Tyler, Willie Nelson, Allison Krauss, etc. I am certain Page will therefore have the option to get up there for a song, but I have a feeling he may decline. It was also live streamed, hopefully it will this year too. Again, that was all for the concert a few years ago. I don't know if things have changed.

I also hope the Boston Globe does something. We get Thursday- Sunday so I will keep watch on that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Looking forward to this...keep us posted, zosorose, about your experience. It makes sense, being that it is a school of music, that the students would perform some Led Zeppelin...but which songs will they choose, I wonder?

zosorose Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hey everyone, I talked with some people and I really hate to say it but I don't think I can get extras =( My best friend goes there, but he is not graduating, his friend group are all in their 2nd and 3rd years as well. The one guy who did manage to get me an extra reached his limit since he has so much family attending. Again, I am so sorry it isn't working out. On another note, my friend there gets to escort the honorees meaning he will probably meet Jimmy! I am filled with jelousy! Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha Don't worry about it...something like this would be extremely difficult to get tix just for yourself, let alone extras, so I don't think anyone begrudges you not being able to get extra tickets. I am just happy a fan such as you gets to be there. We'll live vicariously through you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
