The Rover Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Personally, for the double-neck, I would have added the cherry sunglasses with a "TSRTS" pose from '77. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night_flight3030 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Does this make you feel vindicated. I remember how during the 1980s my friends couldn’t understand why I liked dinosaur rock, or drug rock. I always tried to explain that Led Zeppelin was/ is one of the most talented guys to form a band. Zeppelin in my opinion is a band that should be honored and appreciated. Having never seen Led Zeppelin live but just some videos bootlegs I cannot attest to how good they were live but from what I’ve heard live they rocked harder than any bands I saw during my time in the early 80s and 1990s.

Indeed. I think we might be around the same age. Never understood the look of horror and disguist by my older siblings about my interest in 'burn-out' music...still don't quite know what that actually means but...

The Danelectro Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Thank you for this! My tentative plan is to head down next weekend. Really looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 It's a great exhibition and well worth seeing. More extensive than I thought it would be. It took me about 90 minutes to get through the entire exhibit yesterday. There is probably more guitars from Jimmy Page than anyone else at the exhibit. It was very well done. It was quite crowded as was the entire Met itself. But it wasn't a problem. Glad to see a lot of young people taking in the exhibit. There are four video exhibits with Page, Eddie Van Halen, Tom Morello and Keith Richards. There is more to this than guitars with other instruments as well as some full ban displays of in concert set up. I was very impressed with it and glad I got to see it before it closes on October 1st. See it before it closes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s everything everyone described. I’m pissed that I missed the telecaster and bow (gotta go back!). It was definitely packed with Jimmy’s things compared to others which was mighty fine by me! The dragon suit was designed by Jimmy and hand embroidered by Coco and took over a year to make. I took pics of the descriptions as well. Gosh, he had a tiny waist! It blows my mind that I was standing right where he was in the room showcasing him, Keith, Eddie and Tom Morello (instead of strumming he’d use his toggle switch!). It’s like walking where Jesus did. I watched the Jimmy video like 4 times. 😊 I took a lot of the same pics but I’d be happy to post the descriptions of the items or anything anyone would like to see - I’ll try to figure out how to post pics for you. i even took corny pics of my hand looking like I was touching the Danelectro and Number 1. I watched RAH and TSRTS clips on the train home just to watch him playing what I had just experienced. I may even go back once more before it leaves. It was fantastic! EDIT: looking at the dragon suit a lady asked me what “Zoso” meant. I said that Jimmy will never disclose but it has something to do with his interest in magick, the occult, symbology, etc. She goes - “oh ok, I’ll just google it”. I said “you might wanna start with Aleister Crowley then”. Then the husband said “Jimmy doesn’t look so good these days”. I was all - “well, he’s 75 and survived copious drugs and a rock and roll lifestyle through the 70’s”. He said “oh good point”. Sorry folks, don’t knock Jimmy to me, I’ll set ya straight - and jimmy looks pretty damn good for 75 and being where he’s been.

I have to figure out how to attach pics here with iPhone/iPad. To echo the above sentiment about Excalibur - yes - that’s what it was! And looking at the Holy Grail. I was completely mesmerized thinking of all I’d the things we’ve heard that came from those instruments and seeing them in action. Looking at the Black Beauty was a treat, considering where it’s been (as in, we have no idea where it went). How generous of Jimmy to loan so many things to the exhibit.

You were just feet away from it. It is a bit hidden and easy to miss as the big display with Jimmy in the dragon suit stands out and grabs your attention immediately.

I’ll wait a few weeks until the tourist crowd slows down. I was so enthralled with what I saw my mind went to this place where logic didn’t apply. And it was glorious!

Agreed ..considering what he put his fragile body through in those early years: .chain smoking, coke, smack, booze all with very little sleep and heavy workloads ,he looks remarkably healthy. Obviously chose his parents well..🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
