40 Years..Where did they go?

[BADWIN BING]

Thanks MrZ, I thoroughly enjoyed that last clip.....which is funny, considering I've disliked Durst for a long time for murdering one of my favourites, 'Behind Blue Eyes'.

Confidence is now restored. Love this thread.

 

[RWIGWH]

lol...you are welcome B...I also am not a fan of Durst, but he was respectful, and he does love classic rock, so the guy did a few things right.

I appeared on Jools Holland's show with Robert Plant

On this day in 1994, I appeared on Later with Jools Holland along with Robert Plant and the The Unledded orchestral ensemble; band, extra percussion, Hammond organ, hurdy gurdy and violins courtesy of our Egyptian friends.

We were introduced as ‘half of Led Zeppelin’. But no matter, we performed Four Sticks, Wonderful One and Gallows Pole. This is the first reunion of the musicians after the Unledded recording at LWT that make up the DVD and beginning to roll on what would be an extensive world tour. It was a spirited version of Four Sticks, but a crap sound balance.

Have a great and safe week my friend.

I appeared with Bad News at the Hammersmith Odeon

Bad News performed at Hammersmith Odeon supporting Iron Maiden. Bad News had two extra guitarists that night, Brian May and JP. During their set there was a guitar duel between Vim Fuego (Adrian Edmonson), Brian and myself. During my bit, my amp mysteriously cut in and out but it just added to the comedy of the send up.

I appeared with Robert Plant on Asahi TV in Japan

In line with the Unledded project, an elaborate press junket was set up for Japan, Australia, Argentina and Brazil with a whistle stop journey for promotion. The first city to be visited was Tokyo and after numbers of magazine, radio and TV interviews we appeared live on Asahi TV and ended up having to play. We chose 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You' on acoustic, ending the song with the spontaneous opening guitar part of 'Stairway…' and we just kept on going.

I appeared with The Yardbirds on the Milton Berle Show

The Yardbirds appeared on the Milton Berle show to promote ‘Happenings Ten Years Time Ago’, this is a rare appearance of me and Jeff playing guitars together. At the time I was impressed that whoever was in charge of proceedings on behalf of the recording had mashed in some psychedelic washes within the performance, which was a good observation, and a cool move. **Unfortunately my research on YouTube has only yielded a black and white version. Nevertheless, it was good to see the band at that stage although it was a mimed performance.
** LOL @ Jimmy doing research on youtube!

I played at the Ritz Ballroom in New York with Outrider

We played two nights at The Ritz in New York on the Outrider tour, this was a funky venue that I really enjoyed playing and I know all the band did too. Although it was hot, sweaty and intense, both evenings produced great shows. One of those nights where you wish you could be in the audience! The members of Geffen Records were there too.
Also on this day in 2007, Led Zeppelin 'Mothership' was released in the UK with the iconic Shepard Fairey artwork.
Today in 1998, Page & Plant played on a second visit to Zagreb to which an acquaintance said 'Why did you come back, no one ever comes back'.

ON THIS DAY... 13 NOV 1964
I played on Jackie DeShannon's release 'Don't Turn Your Back on Me'

Jackie DeShannon came to London and there was a session at EMI Number Two Studio to record her song 'Don't Turn Your Back on Me'. She was a prolific songwriter and had written ‘Needles and Pins’ and ‘When You Walk In The Room’ which had been covered by Liverpool group ‘The Searchers’.
The musical arranger was Charles Blackwell, but apparently he hadn’t transcribed the guitar riff the way she had written it and she came to grips with the guitar to illustrate how it was originally written. It just so happened that a photographer captured this moment. By the time this was released, Jackie DeShannon and I had written some songs together.

Tory MP leads fight for Knighthood for Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page

Honour: Page with his OBE in 2005


Tory MP Louise Mensch has revealed that she is lobbying for a knighthood for rock guitarist Jimmy Page – one of her husband’s former clients.

The 67-year-old Led Zeppelin star was represented by Peter Mensch, a noted figure in the world of rock management.

Mrs Mensch, 40, wrote of her campaign to turn Page into Sir Jimmy on Twitter.
'I’ve proposed Jimmy Page.

'Waiting to see if that finds favour with Honours Directorate. I hope so.’

She denied that her husband’s past role as his manager had any influence, adding: ‘Clearly there is nobody more worthy of a knighthood and I am glad to say I have gathered support from every major record label in the UK.’
Page said he was overwhelmed after being awarded an OBE in 2005 for his charitable work helping street children in Brazil.


The Led Zeppelin concert at the O2 in Greenwich 2007 raised over £100,000 for the ABC Trust charity.
Other charities he has supported include the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund, ChildLine, the Mount Sinai Hospital, MusiCares, the Racehorse Sanctuary and Task Brazil.

Led Zeppelin were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame



Led Zeppelin had been inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame, to which there was an award ceremony including James Brown, and the group were invited to attend. I attended the event, as did members of the Bonham family, but the other two members had declined. I had met James Brown on a number of occasions and his appearance seemed no different to any time before; fit, sharp and bright, but this was to be the last time – he was to die on Christmas day that year. It was a shock having seen him so fit on this occasion. He was truly one of the giants of black music.

15 NOV 1978
I WAS PRODUCING IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR AT POLAR STUDIOS, STOCKHOLM
Polar Studios in Stockholm had been set up by Abba’s Bjorn and Benny in 1977. They were keen to have an international group record there and I was personally contacted by a representative of the studios who offered three weeks free recording time. This seemed a sound idea to go there to produce what was to become our eighth studio album - In Through the Out Door. We’d been playing around with some ideas at Clearwell Castle in Gloucestershire, UK but then went into Easy Hire, a rehearsal studio in North London, where most of the material that would surface on the album was routined.

When we arrived in Stockholm, it was well into their winter, there was heavy snow in the streets and very, very cold. Polar was a state of the art studio for its time, but not particularly ambient. It took a couple of days to get used to this. We worked on the first track that was to become ‘Ozone Baby’ and on this day ‘South Bound Saurez’ had been recorded. Juices were flowing and the recording process was now fully underway.

I appeared with Roy Harper on The Old Grey Whistle Test

After having ascended the substantial height of Scafell Pike in the Lake District - the highest mountain in England - Roy Harper and I performed ‘The Same Old Rock’, where Mark Ellen from the BBC was in attendance, looking suspiciously like Paul McCartney. Needless to say, there had to be a duality in this because they switch from us on the mountain to the then new boys on the block Depeche Mode, a keyboard synthesiser band sitting in the comfort of the BBC studio criticising two acoustic guitar players up a mountain! To which my response was: "let's see them come up here with their battery packs and have a go!"

I appeared with Robert Plant on the Andrew Denton Show



On this day in 1994, I appeared with Robert Plant on the Andrew Denton Show on the Seven Network in Australia during the 'round the world' promo for Unledded. We incorporated some didgeridoo players to help us through a version of ‘Sun Arise’ which was a tribute to Rolf Harris. Andrew Denton was a very bright man and on his previous award winning series 'The Money or the Gun' each of the 26 shows had a special guest invited to do anything they wanted providing it was ‘Stairway To Heaven’ and consequently, ‘Stairway’ moved into the genres of Opera, The Doors, theatrical monologue, The B52's and amongst others, Rolf Harris. So, for those who heard Rolf Harris’ amusing version in isolation, you may now get the idea of Denton’s master plan. It was an amusing idea and good to be on his show to share the humour.
