chef free Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 And all the Monty Python references: JPJ's intro: "Giving you a chance to play Spot the Looney". At the same show (6/23/77) introducing JB : "John, two Bonhams, Looney, Bonham." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Houston 21 May 1977 "That was a blues-based thing from the turn of the century I guess originally. This is something that comes from around the same time, with a little bit of Zeppelin too." What an understatement. In My Time of Dying had a "little bit of Zeppelin". Just before that he said "and you'll see as the program takes shape". Plant could be so low key even in front of huge crowds going nuts. I don't know too many other frontmen who would say something like that in a low key way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also grew accustomed with the way he fills instrument swaps/tunings during BB Hill; "For those shouting obscenities, it's all gonna come" or " What about growing a beard". Even during the first Dallas show in March 75 he manages to create a club atmosphere by punning Jones "He has been watching Liberace" and "Now, before this turning into a Gospell meeting (Bonzo; "Hallelujah')...". I could go on for ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcczep Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 From one of the Earls Court gigs: "John comes from a circus family...my God, how come a family can be so heavy!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pujols05 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Pretty much anything from 5-25-75....he was unstoppable that night. "If your brain hurts...see the man walking around selling hot brains." And of course at the end, "Charles Shaar-Murray, wherever you are (well-timed lick from Jimmy) keep taking the pills." And, this from 2-12-75 after NQ: "John Paul Jones, piano. Jimmy Page, electric guitar. Raymond Thomas, Jimmy Page’s road manager. Ian Knight, in charge of the smoke machine that didn’t work. Peter Grant, our manager. Everybody!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Landover 1975 Right, we said we were gonna include some new stuff. This is another one of those very 1975, is that what it is, 1975? This is a 1975 song. It's relative to the efficiency of the motor car, but in fact a motor car is relative to the efficiency of the human body, and the human body is relative to pleasure, and so this is called Trampled Underfoot.

rjherm93 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) I always really liked his intro of Bonzo before Moby Dick in one of the LA concerts in 75, where he introduces him as “Mr. Quaalude.” Either that or after a botched Kashmir in 1980: ”If there’s anyone who’s bootlegging that, you might wanna scratch that number, because it wasn’t completely correct.” Edited February 7, 2021 by rjherm93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
