SteveAJones Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Steve, I swore I read something where someone (I forget who) from the Yes camp claimed that after the XYZ recordings, Peter Grant showed up at their door demanding the master tapes. When that person refused, Peter stuck a lit cigar in his hand till the guy gave the tapes to him. I'm guessing this is bullocks. Any truth to it? Also, while I'm at it. What was the deal with the supposed Zep rehearsals when they considered touring with Tony Thompson? I know Tony had a car wreck and that was that. Where they really that close to doing a tour? Where these rehearsals recorded and if so, have you ever heard them? Everything I've read is pretty vague. Any juicy details would be appreciated. Wolfman, post #2320 of this thread covers the XYZ project fairly well. Have never heard the anecdote concerning Peter Grant and the master tapes. Seems very far-fetched, seeing as they were only rough demos with Jimmy after the demise of Led Zeppelin. Peter had entered a period of blackness by then and I just can't imagine him being bothered to intervene. I'm fairly certain I covered the January 1986 rehearsals earlier in this thread as well. Suffice to say they were nowhere near touring, it was merely a case of getting the three of them together to rehearse with Thompson. As I recall, Thompson was hurt in a car smash the evening of the second day, so they carried on with roadies filling in on drums for about a week. Robert had gotten used to being the pilot of the storm in his own band and expressed frustration with Jimmy for having to fiddle with effects pedals every five minutes. The whole thing kind of went nowhere and ended with a whimper. If I don't find the details posted previously in this thread I will do so.

Blocoboy Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Sorry if this has been covered already but was Rob3ert Plant ever asked to join The Yardbirds before 1968..in Februaryish 1967 perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swandown Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Sorry if this has been covered already but was Rob3ert Plant ever asked to join The Yardbirds before 1968..in Februaryish 1967 perhaps? No way. Neither Jimmy nor Robert nor anyone else in Zep has ever made such a statement. Jimmy says the first he heard of Robert was when Terry Reid suggested him in July 1968. Keith Relf was certainly the weakest link of The Yardbirds, but they never would have replaced him with an unknown from the midlands.

Cecil. Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Steve, Where were the 1979 pictures taken the cornfield pics(the !st photo shoot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Steve, Where were the 1979 pictures taken the cornfield pics(the 1st photo shoot) Cecil, they were taken in the festival field adjacent to Knebworth House in August 1979. The band were booked into the Roebuck Hotel & arrived around 6pm on August 2nd for a soundcheck lasting less than an hour. I don't have the soundcheck photos in front of me at the moment but those may well substantiate these were taken just beforehand. If not, they were taken no later than August 12th (after the second festival date) as the band had all departed Knebworth House by that morning. It's well known the image above was used to promote In Through The Out Door, but lesser known is that the sky has been airbrushed by Hipgnosis to appear far less dull and overcast than it really was. There are so few offstage photos of them from '79 they had little choice but to use what was available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knebby Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Steve - well I think it is safe to say they were definitely taken before August 12th, as they were the official Knebworth publicity shots, and used in the official Knebworth programme and posters sold at the venue on both dates (4th and 11th) . I would say that in order to get the programme (and posters) ready on time they were in fact taken long before the dates you have suggested, certainly not in August.

I've got to look into this further towards a confirmed date and location. Edit: The photo call was held in early June in the fields adjacent to Knebworth House.

SteveAJones Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Plant Out Fanzine There was a b&w Japanese Robert Plant fanzine titled Plant Out running for seven issues from circa 1984 to Feb 1986 and published by Kayko Kato of Nagasaki, Japan. If anyone has a copy of this fanzine or can put me in touch with Kayko please contact me. Thanks! Edited May 17, 2009 by SteveAJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought I'd mention there's a recent update to the Robert Plant Concert Chronology that may be of interest as I seem to recall we attempted to confirm where you saw him perform in July '88. At the time I showed two shows at MSG in NYC on 7/28 & 7/29, but ticket stubs have surfaced to confirm he played Nassau Coliseum on 7/28 & MSG on 7/29. I believe you said you thought you'd seen him at the Nassau Coliseum. The opening act was Cheap Trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you said you thought you'd seen him at the Nassau Coliseum. The opening act was Cheap Trick. Steve, it's funny you should bring this up- I was cleaning out stuff over the weekend & found a bunch of my old ticket stubs, including the Plant shows at Nassau on 7/28 & MSG on 7/29. Cheap Trick is listed on the MSG stub but not the Nassau one, but they opened both shows. At MSG there was a guy a few rows in front of us that was going crazy for Cheap Trick, waving & singing along- and when they left the stage he disappeared & didn't come back for Robert's show! (I also have the stub for Jimmy's show at Nassau on 10/28/88, Mason Ruffner opened but is not listed on the stub) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nech Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Do I dare even attempt to post the , um, alternate take of this pics?!!! Nah, best not tempt fate!!! Steve do you have an anecdote as to why the tensions were so high that day ...enough to get Plant to take desperate measures to try to elevate the spirits?

dpat Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) Steve do you have an anecdote as to why the tensions were so high that day ...enough to get Plant to take desperate measures to try to elevate the spirits? You know you are getting a little jaded when the photogs have to bring strippers to keep you amused!! I never heard there were tensions for the photo shoot. If there were, my guesses are: --Bonzo mad as he did not know everyone else was going to show up as a fashionista. --Percy had to wear a tie (I don't think I've ever seen him wear one before or since). --Funny thing about Jimmy & His Hair, riding in a convertible to the shoot. What was it that Grant used to call him behind his back when Pagey used to primp his hair in the mirror?? --Jonesy was worried the strippers might be from New Orleans and/or were transvestites.

jabe Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Percy wears a tie similar to the Kentucky Colonel tie in the Little By Little video. A bit more formal though. He'll probably wind up moving to Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, yes, that infamous outtake with Robert's trouser snake on full display. It probably is a bit too racy for this board, but the ladies are sure to love it. Unaware of any specific anecdote aside from Jimmy's hair getting mussed up on the way down in Richard Cole's roadster. All were clearly amused, whatever the reason for dropping his pants.

He'll probably wind up moving to Tennessee. Not likely on the moving to Tennessee. I do appreciate all the positive attention and publicity he has brought to the Americana scene. Although album sales are flat or down, depending on genre, Americana album and ticket sales have increased since Raising Sand. I fully credit Plant for most of that increase. But there are no indications here in Nashville that he plans to relocate here. For those that are interested in the growth of Americana during the past year, here is a link to a recent statement from Americana Music Association CEO Jed Hilly: http://www.cybergrass.com/modules.php?name...le&sid=6317 Edited May 20, 2009 by Kentuckygirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
