Nick C Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has found any good clips of this tour - it was far better than the 95 tour - If there is anyone with a complete show with decent audio on DVD in Australia i would love to hear from you. I have most of a Page/Crowes gig as a couple of Divx files i can trade Quote
Nick C Posted March 21, 2008 Author Posted March 21, 2008 This is a mad version of No Quarter from the 98 tour of course... Quote
3hrsoflunacy Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 I have these on DVD 1998.03.25 London 1998.07.04 Toronto 1998.07.11 Albany, NY 1998.08.23 Cologne, DE 1998.09.06 George, WA 1998.09.24 Phoenix 1998.11.13 Vienna 1998.11.17 Prague All are good, but it's been a while since I watched them to tell you which I think was best. Overall, I prefer the 1996 Japan shows because of the setlist. Quote
FireOpal Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I realize this is an obscure question, but I figure there's probably at least one person on this forum who knows. What was the "Egyptian music" (as I've heard it described) that was used as an introduction on the P+P '98 tour? Quote

FireOpal Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Many, many thanks Steve! Is it a spoken-word piece then? Amazon.com describes it thusly: As a bonus (with 1979's "A Glint at the Kindling"), Five Bardic Mysteries has been added. Originally released by Robin on his own label in 1985 as a cassette, these spoken-word pieces demonstrate Robin's remarkable storytelling abilities. In fact, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant used 'The Dialogue Of The Two Sages' as part of their No Quarter show in the mid 90's. These 5 tales act as a perfect accompaniment to 'Five Denials On Merlin's Grave'. Edited March 25, 2008 by FireOpal Quote

It is all very much in the same vein as the Voyage of Bran spoken with harp accompaniament and Robin Williamson tells the stories in his fantastic Scottish accent. He has a great voice for story telling It did change over the years and became more coarse but the Bardic Mysteries are well worth listening too. Quote

beatbo Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 This is a mad version of No Quarter from the 98 tour of course... this is an excellent show: the Bizarrefest in germany. rained like hell and the soon-to-part duo played for their lives it seemed. i have this show and found one of my faves from it on doob-tube Quote
Zepaholic Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I saw the Toronto show and it was balls to the wall. They opened with a blistering version of the Wanton Song and it got better and better from there. Both Page and Plant were in excellent form. Quote
mmmdelish Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 http://youtube.com/watch?v=csgWWn6I5rQ Rare 1998 version of Misty Mountain Hop Slideshow w/ sound from England late in tour. Plant was good at the 02, but why didn't he sound like THAT, he could've, his voice still really sounds the same. Quote
ro_a Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Hope you'll excuse a non 1998 clip included for it's rarity. Here is I just didn't want to start a whole new thread. Quote
