minah149 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the Old Grey Whistle Test show that Jimmy Page did with Roy Harper in 1984? I have the album and have heard Roy Harper do some of those songs live (he was really very good) but I'd like to hear them live together. Anyone know?

SteveAJones Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have the broadcast archived to dvd-r if the You Tube link is down. It's quite possibly my favorite all-time Page interview. He doesn't say much, but it's how he says it while sporting the scruffiest haircut in rock, tall black boots and a brown bomber jacket. Roy is semi-lucid.

Knebby Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have the broadcast archived to dvd-r if the You Tube link is down. . I think it is - I can't find it right now, so he may need your help Mr Jones. I'd say they were both semi-lucid, and it amuses me that Roy tries to answer all of Jimmy's questions for him - and gets it spectacularly wrong. One of my all time fave bits of film, ever.

Chicago Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Roy Harper blamed their lack of mental clarity on something they had ingested from Jimmy's personal medicine chest. The tension between them and Mark Ellen just oozes in surliness. It's classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadScreamingGallery Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I had downloaded the youtube links and burned them to CD. I just dropped those files into photobucket, but I think that the videos truncated. Until you can get a better and complete copy, you can view these (and, yes, I messed up on the numbering). Jimmy is in fine form here, IMO. I think they should be viewed in this order: http://s219.photobucket.com/albums/cc161/M...rrent=JPRH0.flv http://s219.photobucket.com/albums/cc161/M...urrent=JPRH.flv http://s219.photobucket.com/albums/cc161/M...rrent=JPRH2.flv You will need a .flv viewer in order to watch and you can download that free via Firefox.

solar Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks MSG! Never saw those interviews, but that is a priceless Page interview. The thing I took most from it is Page saying, with Roy overstepping, "The best is the next." I dig that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that Jimmy under the influence was still many steps ahead of the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tension between them and Mark Ellen just oozes in surliness. It's classic. They didn't get on well with Mark Ellen to begin with and when they caught him filming the INTRO to the segment AFTER the interview from further down the side of Scarfell Pike out of earshot they were further displeased but Mark laughed it off.

Pilot of the Storm Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yes, many thanks for posting...never seen that interview before and I really enjoyed seeing it. Nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledded1 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I never rated Mark Ellen as an interviewer before he did that one with them. Twas funny to see the first time it was shown, making it seem like he'd stumbled across a couple of old hippies playing folk music in the middle of the lake district.

minah149 Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Thank you! I noticed during the interview at one point that the interviewer asked Jimmy Page about Led Zeppelin and Roy Harper answered over the top of him. The second song they played I saw Roy Harper play in a show in 1999. BTW, how does one download things on YouTube and burn onto CD-ROM? I've always wondered how that's done (and would I ever have fun if I could do it!). Again, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twas funny to see the first time it was shown, making it seem like he'd stumbled across a couple of old hippies playing folk music in the middle of the lake district. Yes I remember it too and later on Page in an interview said that they wanted to take them all the way up the top to knacker them out before the interview such was the disdain to 80' pop interviewers, I remember Ellen interviewing Plant on the same show I think a few years before, He was kinda arrogant (Ellen that is). Though I think I read somewhere that Ellem plays SIBLY every week and thinks the song is awsome "!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minah149, I used to have a little add-on, a free download from Firefox, that let me download Youtube videos. When Youtube was purchased by Google, though, the video downloader was disabled so I don't have a current method to share with you. Someone else might know of another way to do it.

Aquamarine Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks for the link! I don't burn onto DVD b/c I don't have a program for it. I can burn the YouTube .flv files on my hard drive right onto a CD and they play back on any PC that has the .flv player. I never thought of trying to do this. And I'm always trying to find ways to save YouTube videos. I wonder if the Roxio program I use for burning DVDs would let me do that? (And after I got it I discovered there are several good free DVD-burning programs out there.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
