ninelives Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Thanks for posting that footage! Great to see Jimmy being silly like that. I love when serious newscasters report on rock related stories. They're so formal about it as though it frightens them Great to hear. I like Robert's coat too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Wikipedia Article on The Starship: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starship An excerpt from the text: Both the 1973 and re-painted 1975 versions of The Starship can be seen on home video footage included at the end of "Stairway to Heaven" on disc 2 of the Led Zeppelin DVD. English rock band Deep Purple also hired the Starship for their 1974 U.S. Tour. They can be seen arriving in the jet with the band's name emblazoned on the jet in the DVD for the infamous California Jam rock festival, entitled Live in California 74. In an interview with Circus magazine in 1974, Deep Purple's Jon Lord explained: "It's a 707 put together by a firm in L.A. that Sinatra, Dylan and The Band just used and Elton John uses. It has a lounge, a bedroom, a shower, a fire place and a study. It's supposed to look as little as a plane as possible." Also known to have hired the plane were The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers and Alice Cooper. Peter Frampton was the last to charter The Starship in 1976. As early as Alice Cooper's 1974 tour the Starship was beginning to show signs of engine difficulties, and, for Led Zeppelin's 1977 US Tour, the Starship grounded at Long Beach Airport. The band was forced to find a comparable alternative, and tour manager Richard Cole eventually chartered Caesar's Chariot, a 45-seat Boeing 707 owned by the Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas. The Starship went through many owners from 1977 through 1979 until it went into storage at Luton Airport in London. It was then pieced out in July 1982. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Airliners.net has 5 photos of the Starship, the Boeing 720 (tail number N7201U), and reportedly it was the very first 720 that Boeing produced. United Airlines was the first customer.

MadScreamingGallery Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Another video clip of the Starship: Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the counter from the bottom of the video (something akin to Photoshopping a watermark off a photo)? Is there additional footage (or film shot from a different angle) available anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the counter from the bottom of the video Yes, tape a small piece of cardboard to your television screen. It can be done but expensive, professional equipment is needed. Kevin Shirley don't work for peanuts either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
