Charlotte Sometimes Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I haven't seen this since it aired...when I was 13, so thought I'd share. He makes some interesting comments about RP (pretty obvious they were on the outs) and Jason's similarities to Bonzo. Love the end when he's asked about Miss Pamela's book. Part 1 Part 2 Quote
Aquamarine Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Thanks, Charlotte--I seem to have missed that the first time around--really interesting. (You're right that RP was obviously not in favor at the time!) Quote
ninelives Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Nice find Charlotte! I hadn't seen that originally either. Quote
zeptangerine Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I never get bored watching a Jimmy interview. He's so animated and physical with his explanations, which makes it bizarre yet fascinating to watch him all the more. Thanks for the treat! Quote
glicine Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Thanks, Charlotte. That's indeed a very interesting interview. Quote

Part 1 Part 2 ...thanks for sharing....He is charming as in "out-of-this-world"......Jimmy can do whatever he wants, but remove that sweat of his face, with a towel, ALL BY HIMSELF?....NO, NO....

Melanie_72 Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 That was wonderful, thanks so much for sharing the links! Jimmy looked so relaxed and happy and was enjoying himself. I loved how he kept wiping the sweat from his face and said "Arizona mildew" and then took a drink at the end and started laughing!! Such a sweetie pie! Quote

Having been to Arizona, I know how hot it gets there so I kept wondering why on earth they did the interview outside Ah well, added to the fun of it in a way and Jimmy seemed to take it in good spirit Quote

SuperDave Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Liked the interview. Jimmy's always a good interview. I saw this years ago and I remember he wasn't crazy about Robert doing the Coke commercial. The ending was the best with the Miss Pamela question and his reaction. While I was watching the interview, I came across this clip of Page and Plant at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2001. Does anyone know if this was the last time they played together until the O2 show? The band is different as Ian Jennings is on standup bass and Mike Watts is on drums. It's a pretty smoking performance doing a little Elvis. Any background on this performance would be appreciated.

Seems to me that would have been their last performance together until 2007. Quote

I was there and I do wish Claude Nobs would agree to it's release as a pro-shot dvd. Claude has an extensive archive on Montreux Jazz Festival performances on film, but alas I don't think JPJ's performances there in '75 were filmed. On 2/10/02 Jimmy and Robert both participated in the Teenage Cancer Trust concert at the Royal Albert Hall, but they did not perform together. Quote

He's so animated and physical with his explanations, which makes it bizarre yet fascinating to watch him all the more. Thanks for the treat! Yeah, Jimmy's a "hand talker". I wish there were more conversations with him like this. I know he hates giving interviews, but he really expresses himself so sincerely. You know you're getting the truth, not a load of BS. Having been to Arizona, I know how hot it gets there so I kept wondering why on earth they did the interview outside Ah well, added to the fun of it in a way and Jimmy seemed to take it in good spirit I know! He says something about that, too. Miserable! Also, I don't know of they were doing renovations on the hotel, or what, but there was a lot of loud banging and such going on in the background. Someone should have told them "Hey, take a break. Jimmy is speaking!" Anyway, glad you all enjoyed it. I scour youtube about once a week for any new LZ postings. If I stumble across anything else interesting, I'll post it up. Quote

Oh - I didn't notice any banging going on but that could be why they weren't inside. Quote
mos6507 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 That version of Baby Let's Play House was quite good to say the least. Wasn't it? He learned one of the chords in the solo wrong. It's played as minor instead of a major, or he's playing a 3 or 4 note chord instead of a 2 note chord. Kind of dissonant actually. Quote

It's played as minor instead of a major, or he's playing a 3 or 4 note chord instead of a 2 note chord. Kind of dissonant actually. Didn't notice that. But then again I'm not a musican of any sort, which you probably are. Well anyway, I thought it was a pretty smoking version. Quote

Part 1 Part 2 Thank you, lady! I was looking for this everywhere! Fantastic interview, and... he's always had that lovely accent. Mwah! - " What about offstage? is it calmer now or ..." "I 'm usually practising the guitar all the time, you know..." hahaha which guitar, Jimmeeee!!! Quote

It's played as minor instead of a major, or he's playing a 3 or 4 note chord instead of a 2 note chord. Kind of dissonant actually. I;m no musician either,...but I was at Montreux and Ian Jennings broke a string in the first number...it was only a 20 minute set and to change the string would have taken 5 minutes...so they carried on and "compensated" .

Charlotte Sometimes Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 It was filmed at the Mesa Amphitheatre while the crew was setting up for the show. No kidding! Well, that explains the banging. Do you know of any other video interviews I should look for that may be out there? When I'm bored, I google. Quote
