ledzeprolls Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 You folks do realize that pseudonyms are names a person calls themself, NOT A NICKNAME GIVEN BY OTHERS? You must have difficulty with the term "Additionally." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzeprolls Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 I read in the booklet of a Black Sabbath album that someone (must have been some black sabbath member because if not why would they cover the topic there) told Jimmy Page that naming his new band "the new yardbirds" was gonna "go down like a lead zeppelin" and thats where they got the name for the band, only they spelled it LED so that americans wouldnt mispronounce it. what i wanted to say is, "the NEW yardbirds" was on the table at some point. The New Yardbirds was on the table because of contractual obligations by JP with Yardbirds and it was "billed," as "The New Yardbirds" instead of Led Zeppelin...

solar Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 You must have difficulty with the term "Additionally." Um, you wrote "pseudonyms for band/bandmembers" in the title of the thread when perhaps you should have put "pseudonyms and nicknames." The "additionally" is buried in the message, but whatevs. Don't feel like splitting hairs/hares/heirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was Keith Moon who said that. And I don't think he was ever part of Black Sabbath. Some people say that it was John Entwhistle though.

NickZepp Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 The name origin came from what Page, Moon, Entwistle, and Jeff Beck were playing in a studio. Either Moon or Entwistle joked that they should name the band Lead Zeppelin because it would go over like a lead baloon because they didn't have a vocalist. Jimmy Page heard the joke from someone maybe Moon or Entwistle directly but some say he heard it second hand. And he liked the name. Dropped the A because it could be confused with lead as in lead singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickZepp Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Not completely. It's usually confused that it was said about The New Yardbirds but it wasn't. It was before the Yardbirds had completely broken up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzeprolls Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 I don't think they were ever billed as The New Yardbirds !! I think that if you look at any poster/advert/flyers of the time it says The Yardbirds !! I know its a bit picky but thought I would say !! if I am wrong then please someone tell me !! Well, The thread topic says "What were they called." As far as for our purposes, many people remember them as being "The New Yardbirds." And that's what was in newspapers and such. The posters I am unsure about. I think there's at least one that is though. Good topic Rolls>>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamyKnight Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 S. Flavius Mercurius is our mystery guest. Who is he and why was he called this? Additionally what else have you heard RP/JP/JPJ/JHB called? They all have different names they use when checking into hotels too...I'm going to respect their privacy and not share those names, sorry. But they do exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickZepp Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 The Scandinavian Tour in 1968 was already billed for the Yardbirds. So they had to do those shows as the New Yardbirds. Those were the only dates they were billed as the New Yardbirds. After that it was strictly Led Zeppelin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solar Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 1. Links to live recordings are not permitted on this site. 2. Those shows are not from the dates listed on The New Yardbirds "London Blues" is not from the 1968 dates to which they are credited. As Zen said in the comments on the page to which you linked: source 1 used is 1969-04-26 - Winterland, San Francisco source 2 used is 1969-06-27 - Playhouse, London 3. The earliest known live recording in circulation is from Dec. 30, 1968 at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not my site selling whatever it is. 3. How is it you knew it was there and I didnt? In other words what I am saying is the err, is with them and not I.

ledzeprolls Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 First Performance As The New Yardbirds.... Nobody knew on the night of September 7, 1968 at the Gladsaxe Teen Club (Copenhagen, Denmark http://www.angel.dk/zeppelin/Pages/ZEPovers1.html As far as you know thats the only "known" recording right. And not to argue, but new ones come along all the time. Right? I am horrible with dates too. This is quite true, I cannot remember dates hardly at all. Especially on theh obscure things. Wheres Bruce Deerhake when need him. Rolls>>> Ohhh good posts btw, I may have to pull those links, I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate to see someone get banned for posting links here -- it's a strict no-no that carried over from the other site. Not many may know that, though. As for those dates... The first show was on Sept. 7, '68 in Denmark. No audio has appeared and been validated that it's from prior to that Gonzaga show on Dec. 30. You're right about new shows popping up all the time, but there's been nothing to surface earlier than Gonzaga other than the outtakes from Zeppelin I. That's not to say there ISN'T stuff out there from some of those early shows that's being hoarded or is undiscovered, but nothing proven to exist. Hope that makes sense.

The only date from 68 that is out there is from the Gonzaga show. Mostly because recording technology really wasn't perfected till 1970. That's why most of the 1969 shows are a bit rough for some shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I have people help me remember dates. Everything else I have almost a photographic memory. I never forget anything. Oh well, no harm done either way, and this is about the best fucking band that ever was anyhooooo I've been around the block lol.
