Not to mention the station has gone through a myriad of format and ownership changes which would likely mean things haven't necessarily been saved or archived.

Welcome to the world of modern corporate radio. Jim Ladd, where have you gone? He's on 95.5 KLOS. I think he was asking rhetorically: "Where have those kinds of people gone?

FireOpal Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Demo version (July 21-23 1964, Regent Sound Studio, London) (Jimmy solo): link Wow! Never heard that version before - extremely cool.

bonzo1026 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I don't think this has been covered SAJ..... Is PJ Proby still alive and has he ever commented on working with the members of Zep on Jim's Blues/George Wallace on his Three Week Hero album?

Aquamarine Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Good question since the dude in the back with the suit looks like he's circa 1963. I'd have said 1958 myself. Yes, PJ Proby is still alive--he's now 70. I'm sure I've read an interview where he discussed making that album, but dang me if I can remember where.

He seemed pretty impressed as you can hear towards the end. Funny you mention '58, I was gonna say '56 at first. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sems Fir Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'd have said 1958 myself. Yes, PJ Proby is still alive--he's now 70. I'm sure I've read an interview where he discussed making that album, but dang me if I can remember where. I'd have to check around but there was a small write up regarding the album in the October 2005 issue of MOJO on page 83. Although that small side bar write up has quotes from Steve Rowland. Steve, I saw some responses to some questions I sent you an email a while back regarding their first rehearsal on Gerard Street. I'll go back and view the interview more closely. Robert likes to speak in code from time to time so I most likely misunderstood his response. JPJ has stated Gerard Steet but in the same MOJO issue from October 2005 there's a write up interview from Mick Wall where Jimmy Page is quoted as the rehearsal taking place on Lisle Street in London's West End. Any idea's? I know Mick Wall's book isn't popular with some readers and I have yet to purchase it. I was curious if you found out any additional linformation regarding the following questions plus some new ones to keep you busy) Older Questions: 1.) When Robert Plant went on SNL with Brian Setzer there's a sign behind the left side of the drummer stating "band for hire". Would you happen to know if that was Robert's idea? The sign stated to contact Ahmet with a phone number. Obviously, the phone number couldn't have been legit and went to a regular switchboard (at least I'm guessing). 2.) The 1970 soundtrack to the movie Homer has Led Zeppelin's How Many More Times. I know the band is protective of their work but did the boys and Peter authorize this usage? New Questions: 3.) Has it been confirmed by Robert (or any member of the band) that Hot Dog was written about the Texas groupie Audrey Hamilton? 4.) Did any other of John Bonham's bulls besides Bruno win certificates? 5.) Finally, have you located any additional information regarding which company created the 1980 tour passes? Thanks for any information you can provide! Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting picture...can't seem to find a time or place where Neil, Robert and an accordian did time... anyone ? Or is it a very good fake ? Assuming it was taken in New Orleans circa '85-'88 the most likely (essentially only) date is June 5, 1988. Robert was checked in to his hotel after flight arrival and had the night off as his New Orleans concert was the following night. I'm still seeking to confirm this date is correct.

swandown Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Wow! Never heard that version before - extremely cool. Who's playing the country steel guitar - Brian Jones? Actually, the steel guitar part was overdubbed onto the demo in 1975 by a session guitarist named Jon Tiven (who, incidentally, would later play guitar with Robert Plant on "If It's Really Got To Be This Way"). The undubbed version is only available on bootlegs. Is PJ Proby still alive and has he ever commented on working with the members of Zep on Jim's Blues/George Wallace on his Three Week Hero album? link He's made several similar comments throughout the years.

Thanks for any information you can provide! Robert I noticed Jimmy said Lisle Street as well, but chalked it up to poor editing or a fading memory. There is another published interview I have from just a few years ago wherein he says the five nights at Earls Court were "in 1976". We must take these with a grain of salt. I don't have any confirmed answers to offer to either the older or new questions at this time. They are great questions worthy of continued examination.

Without the vest, he's wearing the same shirt and pants in Toronto 1988. Either that or Storyville Jazz Hall, New Orleans, 1989 I notice Buckwheat Zydeco looks the same. Buckwheat Zydeco: The Facts Duets with Willie Nelson and Mavis Staples on "Five Card Stud". Eric Clapton was guest on Buck's version of "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?" Played on Keith Richard's solo LP.

Besides, the backdrop in the photo does not match that of the Storyville Jazz Hall clip. If we can place Neil Young in New Orleans circa 6/8/88 this one will be solved. Edit: Well, it won't be so easy. On 6/5/88 Neil Young was on a tour break before resuming in California two days later. The pursuit continues...

SteveAJones Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) Was Robert Plant in San Francisco at all during June 1988 or maybe at the RAH in London in January? I don't show him making an appearance at the RAH in Jan '89, but he did stay at the Four Seasons Hotel in San Francisco on the nights of June 17th & 18th 1988 while performing in Mountain View on 6/17/88. 6/18/88 was a night off. Neil Young played Mountain View the week prior on 6/11/88. It's a remote possibility if we can place Zydeco in California around this time, but the odds are it was in New Orleans prior to Young's tour resuming.
