jimmy page66 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 March 19, Vancouver. Is any more backing of my statement needed than that? No, just a copy of that god damn boot i REALLY need a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirigible Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I'm gonna sum up my feelings about every year ever, right now: 1968 - Probably great, but since I have no real boots (lots of fakes though) I don't know. 1969 - Awesome. 1970 - No word can truly describe the raw awesome-ness. 1971 - KING. 1972 - Consistent enough, I guess. 1973 - Excellent comeback from the somewhat sketchy-ness (IMO) of '72. 1975 - GOD. Scratch that. RULER OVER GOD. 1977 - F'cked up. Only LA was any good. 1979 - 50/50. 4th is second only to '75. 1980 - AAAAAH! THE HORROR, THE HORROR!!!!!! OH, THE HUMANITY!!!! OH THE RAW SLOPPINESS!!!!! 2007 - Scratch what I said about '79. THIS is second only to '75. You never saw Led Zeppelin when John Bonham was alive, did you? If you had you wouldn't be making careless judgments like that. I love everybody here but my pet peeve is people making inferences and drawing profound conclusions based on magnetic tape like they were there. 1977 lame? With all due respect you don't have an informed opinion---I still have scars from '77. It was every bit equal to 1973. Don't take my word for it, ask The Rover, between he and I we've seen Zeppelin over a dozen times and you're disrespecting shows/tours where we breathed the same air as the band. I have bootlegs of times I saw Zep and if I may educate you . . . they sounded a thousand times better than a tape you're listening to the 10th generation of. You cannot judge a live show by a recording of it (especially if you're a non-musician.) Game over. Other than that, have a great weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kashmiran Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 No, just a copy of that god damn boot i REALLY need a copy. Look for a boot titled "Snow Jobs". Excellent sound quality. My only complaint is that the Mellotron is placed higher in the mixes than the guitar in most places. Listen to Stairway once you have it. Best guitar solo ever.

You're sounding like a loose cannon. The 6-3-73 recording in L.A. sounds superior to the July NYC shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my tapes are 3rd generation, thanks to an excellent connection at the local record store. 2. I am a musician. Guitar, keyboard, drums, and singing (last one doesn't really count IMO). 3. I didn't say LAME. I said F'cked up. there is a difference. F'cked up, in this context means OK, but not great. It had it's great spots, but many bad ones too. So, while still not flattering '77, this is certaintly better than LAME. 4. Off-topic, but: Dirigible, what happened to your avatar? That previous one with that thing that looked like a city scene at night was really cool looking. Fine, if you don't want it, I'll take it. URL, please?

Robert's Plant Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hi Kashmiran, just noticed your personal quote and it reminded me of a Philadelphia radio interview last year, where Robert Plant was asked (rehashed?) what the song STH was about, to which Robert replied it was about the materialism of young people at the time (might as well apply to all eras). Not in his exact words but same conjecture: People who sell their souls to get what they want. And if I remember correctly he said further: the end doesn't justify the means or something to that effect. He also considers Kashmir their best song ever, but you all know that already. Another interview I read about: Robert says "Who would have known? We were just 4 blokes whom nobody would want anything with" ... "Who copied black songs from black singers who copied their songs from black singers before them." Ah I love reading Robert Plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to bust your chops personally, Kashmiran. I see lots of posts here from fans who missed the Zep boat because they were too young and the best conclusions they can draw are from bootlegs. God bless the younger generation for seeking illumination, bootlegs are the BEST lights to illuminate that path. I've got my favorite bootleg shows (5-26-77) and my favorite Zeppelin concerts (5-21-77); they're both great, just apples and oranges. How many bands have you been in? What's your main ax? My avatar is the Dancing House in Prague, modern architecture that's a bit dazed and confused. Google it (images). I've got half a dozen perspectives of it that I rotate as my avatar because I'm one sick pup. Ha! Peace out, mayne! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert's Plant Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 OK sorry if off-topic..... now on to the next thread-related post. Anyone fire away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kashmiran Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 How many bands have you been in? What's your main ax? Unfortunately, as of yet, no bands for me. I've put adds in the local news paper but no-one answers. I've had one add circulating for three years now!!! Unfortunately I can only play one instrument at a time, so I'll need at least 3 other musicians. Individual people have responded, but not enough to form a good band! So, the short answer is: no bands yet. Thanks for the Avatar, too! (I coudn't find a peace out icon, this is the best I could come up with) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirigible Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 What ad would you answer quicker: drums, keys or guitar? I was in a band with a guitarist we called Semi Page and played about half of Zeppelin's catalog of 80+ songs. I'd like to post some tunes here of us playing some really trick Zep stuff like Black Dog, Out On The Tiles, Heartbreaker, The Ocean, Dazed and Confused, Sick Again, Moby Dick, Communication Breakdown, Nobody's Fault But Mine, etc. but I don't know how. But I'll find out. Then you cats can rip on me. I'm a drummer who can copy Bonham and, as a singer, let's just say I know the lyrics Plant's singing. Ta.

Although I can play Keys, they're not my favorite instrument, and Guitar is difficult for me right now because I pulled a Page and damaged my middle playing finger.
