SteveAJones Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) 🤣 You got me, Sam. I opened link only to find it's another chit chat. Even so, 12 GBP seems more than fair to see Jimmy Page in person in 2022. Edited April 10, 2022 by SteveAJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeplz71 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jun/02/led-zeppelin-were-asked-to-do-abba-style-avatar-act-jimmy-page-says Led Zeppelin were asked to do Abba-style avatar act, Jimmy Page says Guitarist says band was approached well before talk of Abba shows but he and surviving bandmates couldn’t agree Led Zeppelin were approached with the idea of doing an Abba-style avatar act, guitarist Jimmy Page has disclosed. Well before there was talk of the Swedish pop group’s Voyage concert, the rock band was asked to do “that sort of thing”, Page told an audience at the Hay festival. However, the musician and music producer said that he and his two surviving bandmates, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, couldn’t agree, so the project “didn’t really get moving”. Page said he didn’t think a virtual tour would work for his former band the Yardbirds, but indicated that he thought it might for Led Zeppelin. He also spoke positively about Elvis Presley’s hologram performance. “I bet that was good, but I didn’t see it”, the 78-year-old said. Yellow Zeppelin, Unknown. 1969, Europe Whole lotta rarities: the strangest Led Zeppelin artwork – in pictures Read more The Abba show appears poised to be a critical and commercial smash for the band, highlighting the appetite of fans to still enjoy their musical heroes, even in computerised form. The show in London is to run seven times a week until December and the Guardian’s music critic Alexis Petridis described it as “genuinely jaw-dropping … any lingering sense that you’re not actually in the presence of Abba has dissolved.” But Page admitted to having mixed opinions towards technology’s increasing involvement in music. Music videos, he said, “shut down” the wide variety of music styles that had been emerging, encouraging bands to assimilate to a model that worked well for videos. However, he praised the way that computers allowed young people to create home studios to make music and “stick it on the internet.” He spoke of a “really exciting” band he had met in Brighton, who had found success in Vietnam. After a song they put on the internet got picked up and used in an advert in south-east Asia, this band gained popularity in that region, showing, Page said, that “it does work!” While Page is clearly interested in the ways technology can be useful to bands, the “communion of musicians” that is achieved through live performance is essential, he said. Performing the same songs again and again was why he was a successful studio musician, he said, “because I can keep coming up with spontaneous style”. pics from Twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first time that I am really happy that Plant and/or Jones reject a project. I am not sure if Jimmy is aware of the fact that while the Abba voices at the Avatar shows are from the archives there is acually a band playing live behind the curtains. This concept may work for the music of Abba, but IMO it could never work for bands like Led Zeppelin. Are there musicians who are capable to deliver satisfactory results? I don´t think so.

Given how closely JP monitors all things Led Zeppelin, I doubt his considering the ABBA-type project would include a sub-standard live band performing behind the curtains.
