LedZep1969 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Robert Plant (to audience): "You don't know how difficult it is to tune a guitar in front of thousands of screaming people." Jimmy Page (to Plant): "You don't, either." Was Robert being a smart a**? Or were they just kidding around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert usually does all the funny comments, but Jimmy's got a sense of humor as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slave to zep Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Robert Plant (to audience): "You don't know how difficult it is to tune a guitar in front of thousands of screaming people." Jimmy Page (to Plant): "You don't, either." Was Robert being a smart a**? Or were they just kidding around. robert was just talking to the audience while jimmy tuned up, he was perhaps taking a bit longer than normally . he was just talking through the moment as any good frontman would. but jimmy's reply is classic! love it!

Cactus Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Robert Plant (to audience): "You don't know how difficult it is to tune a guitar in front of thousands of screaming people." Jimmy Page (to Plant): "You don't, either." Was Robert being a smart a**? Or were they just kidding around. I don't know what you're having trouble understanding here... This is from the acoustic set isn't it - and Jimmy is taking ages to change tunings. Robert is making a little joke to pass the time and maybe make some friendly fun of Jimmy. Jimmy makes a quick retort which puts Robert back in his place. Are you asking whether Robert was seriously annoyed with Jimmy, and vice versa. No. It was all in fun, as far as I can tell. These people are professional musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverVishnu Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Anyone know the date of this quote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I have certainly heard it in my collection, but my memory isn't good enough to remember. If I come across it I will let you know. Definitely from the Latter Days - '75 onwards, likely '77 as Page rarely talked before this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
