truth and beauty Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Oh Jimmy...I would rather a EP of new material than a 512 page tome of long past historical photos and experiences set to book form. If Jimmy would only pick up an instrument and play, either in studio or on stage, that would make the majority of us so much more happier than another discussion of Jimmy's old days and his long gone triumphs. Oh Jimmy...archivists' of past glories...future unknown. Nothing to add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Rudolph Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The Barnes & Noble event says "In lieu of a signature, author will stamp book" That indicates to me that Mr. Page's handlers are expecting masses of people storming B&N for a close up glimpse of the man himself. Signing 100s of signatures in the course of a few hours could be excruciating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Duck Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I spoke with Brad Tolinski earlier tonight at the venue where he was playing with a band I think he hooked up with fairly recently (they are young!). He said he was originally supposed to be the interviewer at the 92nd St. Y event, but the Y wanted Koons instead. He claimed he was ok with that (not sure I believed him). He said he's probably going to be the interviewer at a similar event in Los Angeles, I think. Tolinski's not a bad guitarist! He also played electric violin, which was interesting. Electric violin!?! I didn't know such an instrument even existed. I'm trying to imagine what one sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletMacaw Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Electric violin!?! I didn't know such an instrument even existed. I'm trying to imagine what one sounds like. It sounds like a violin, only amplified. I'm pretty sure you can amplify any instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANONYMOUS Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 That indicates to me that Mr. Page's handlers are expecting masses of people storming B&N for a close up glimpse of the man himself. Signing 100s of signatures in the course of a few hours could be excruciating. While there will indeed be a large crowd for Jimmy, Barnes & Noble stores in New York are very experienced in managing massive crowds for the highest level of celebrity. The choice to sign or not sign is an author's choice. For example, Lenny Kravitz appeared at both the 92Y and a Barnes & Noble tonight. While signing books at the 92Y is protocol, he was not inclined to sign books at B&N. He was (for sales sake) persuaded otherwise. There is no doubt that signing hundreds of books is a difficult physical task but the choice to stamp has nothing to do with physical exertion or eBay reselling.

Signing 100s of signatures in the course of a few hours could be excruciating. I've been to several book signings that numbered 1,000 or more. Anne Rice, Howard Stern twice, Hilary Clinton. Howard Stern was the largest by far...several thousand. And he stayed for hours to make sure everyone got their book signed. What a trouper! Electric violin!?! I didn't know such an instrument even existed. I'm trying to imagine what one sounds like. Never heard of Jean-Luc Ponty? Laurie Anderson? Papa John Creach from Jefferson Starship? All those prog bands like King Crimson, Gentle Giant and Hawkwind? Warren Ellis from Nick Cave's Bad Seeds? Youtube 'em and you'll hear what an electric violin sounds like. You might start with "Willie the Pimp" from Frank Zappa's "Hot Rats" album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I don't know how the retail ticket prices are determined, but on first glance, it appears that the Jimmy Page event may have set a 92Y record with the $150 seats. Most other events range from $30 - $90 for the starting price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Electric violin!?! I didn't know such an instrument even existed. I'm trying to imagine what one sounds like.My experience with the electric violin was in 1975 at the concert for Rubin Hurricane Carter. It was Scarlet Rivera with Bob Dylan. Here's a studio clip for "Hurricane".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvI3Y9Kuk5E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most other events range from $30 - $90 for the starting price... I bought my ticket the 2nd day they were available. I only paid 40.00. They sold out within hours of my purchase. Then tickets started becoming available from some promoter in the prime center orchestra area for 1000.00 and up. They also had some creepy criteria that the ticket holder in the first few rows had to be under 35. Then 92Y opened up some balcony seats for 150.00. I think all the tickets are now sold out. My seat isn't that great but it doesn't appear to be a huge theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguelre Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Hello all, I'm so glad I found this forum!! I received my tickets a few days ago. I'm making the trip from Canada (flight already booked, just looking for a hotel/BnB). This will be my first time in NYC and I'm travelling solo. I read some of you might be planning on meeting before/after the event, If there's room for one more, I'd be more than happy to come. Cheers!!

If there's room for one more, I'd be more than happy to come. Cheers!! Welcome to the forum! Glad to have you here! I'll be going as a few others will be here as well and probably be meeting up for the event. Not sure what the plans are yet, but that should come together shortly as it's four weeks from tomorrow! I'm guessing we'll do it through some PMs as that's probably best to see who's going, plans, meeting times etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguelre Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Thank you, SuperDave! =) I'm looking forward to this event, as I said, it will be my first time in NYC and I'm travelling solo. I tried PM Deborah, as she mentioned to PM her if interested, but I got a message saying that she's not taking PMs for the moment. Where in NYC are you staying (or anybody else reading this thread)? if you don't mind me asking. Anyway, I'll be checking the forum often for news. Cheers!
