Carrieanna31 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Page eats green donkey dicks ????? Not sure I would like to pursue that though any longer. Think it's some saying of sorts...? Quote
FireOpal Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) Very intriguing. The notes are so... obscure, they're almost like photo captions. No, less useful than that. I guess they're more like memory triggers. I wonder what Jimmy's "inability to cope to climate" was about -- too hot for him I imagine. Edited January 12, 2009 by FireOpal Quote
dpat Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 I wonder what Jimmy's "inability to cope to climate" was about -- too hot for him I imagine. More like TOO FREAKING COLD!! The 1975 Tour went through Chicago in January -- Crowe once wrote how Bonzo complained that he could not understand why the tour was scheduled in the middle of winter in the American Midwest. Quote
zep73 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 More like TOO FREAKING COLD!! The 1975 Tour went through Chicago in January -- Crowe once wrote how Bonzo complained that he could not understand why the tour was scheduled in the middle of winter in the American Midwest. Exactly! I was at all three Chicago shows in '75, it seems to me I remember that it was Robert who was having "difficulty coping with the climate." And it was damn cold! Opening night was Jan. 20th, and anyone who has spent anytime in Chicago during the month of January knows how much it sucks! Crowe's notes are incredibly cool, especially seeing what he jotted down as he was seeing and hearing it, just as I remember much of it that night. Pheobe Snow's "Poetry Man" on the P.A. fading out just as the lights went down, the crowd letting out a roar as the band took the stage in the dark, amps humming, indicators glowing... Bonzo warming up that monster amber vistalite kit.... BA-BA-DOOM-DOOM-DOOM! I recall vividly how rough Plant's voice was that night, and I can close my eyes and still hear that crack in his voice that Crowe mentions at the end of Stairway, but they were brilliant... Waaay to fuckin' cool. Quote
zep73 Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 Here's a taste of that show, check out the Plant voice crack at 4:44. Quote
