Happy Birthday, Jimmy Page! Today is a National Holiday in Youdopia. None shall toil. Jimmy is 66 today. You may be surprised that I am a fan of Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Page. It’s true. Jimmy has written/compiled a photographic autobiography which is being published by Genesis Publications. They are an exquisitely wonderful publisher. They [...]
It’s been awhile since I’ve done an obscure Led Zeppelin number. This one is a beaut. It’s from the final night of the legendary run at the LA Forum in 1977. I do not like the ‘77 tour, but I like the acoustic set from this tour, and I love this little blues ditty they [...]
Vale, Youdopia. John Paul Jones’ new band is totally awesome. I don’t like them, but they kick nine different varieties of ass. And… when you see the footage, and hear the harmonies, bass, keyboards, etc… you cannot find the senior citizen in the group. Them Crooked Vultures is a great band. A real band. A [...]
It’s true, Youdopia. Jonesy has a new band. A real band, to boot. Dave Grohl is on drums, and Josh Homme, from Queens of the Stone Age. Take a look at the pictures from last night’s gis (8.9.09) and see if you can pick out the 63 year old. I’m glad that Jonesy is staying [...]
We’re getting back on track, Youdopia. I just saw the trailer for Zombieland, and I think it’s going to be a great summer. Ok. Someone made a nice video of the Peanuts dancing, and synced it to what to my ears sounds like the 1/9/70 Royal Albert Hall multitrack of Led Zeppelin performing C’mon Everybody, [...]
I’ve seen this a million times, Youdopia, but I realize that many of you have not. It’s from the old Andy Richter days on the Conan O’Brien show. Conan, Max, Andy, and the prop dude perform Led Zeppelin’s Dazed and Confused a la The Song Remains The Same. By this I mean that all the [...]
Youdopia, you know I love my Led Zeppelin, and I love me some Jimmy Page (all hail). This is from the second Led Zeppelin bootleg CD I ever bought. It is from a BBC concert. Right after this song ends, they go into a smoking version of Buffalo Springfield’s For What It’s Worth. Great stuff [...]
Youdopia, I’m continuing my series of Led Zeppelin live cover songs. This is James Brown’s Sex Machine, recorded in Los Angeles on 3/25/75. The LA gigs were always magic, even in 1977, when Zeppelin was much more pomp than circumstance (in my opinion). In 1975, their LA shows were amazing.
Led Zeppelin’s version of [...]
My friends, I give you another Led Zeppelin live nugget, from Osaka 10/2/72. The boys perform the Ben E King classic, Stand By Me. They pull it off pretty well, making it the Coolest Shit Ever. Enjoy the music.
This is Led Zeppelin playing Louie Louie, and Sly Stone’s Everyday People. It’s from the same show that was released as How The West Was Won, but it didn’t make the official release. It’s too bad. I like it. I think it starts at the end of Thank You, with the organ, and just rolls [...]
Youdopia, you know of my affinity for Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Page. Last weekend, Jeff Beck was inducted, by Jimmy Page, into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, and it was cool. The super cool part is what you’re about to watch, which is Jeff Beck (same age as Jimmy, by the way… [...]
Howdy youdopia. My friend Gus, who goes by August, now that he’s in the September of his years, says Youdopia hasn’t been updated since January. He is, of course, lying because I told him cold fusion doesn’t work. Anyhoo, this last month has been … how do you say… shitty and amazing. So I blog [...]
This is just up here, Youdopia, because it’s newly found/released/unhoarded so it’s actually of value to the Led Zeppelin fanboys. It’s a straight up lip sync of the studio track, so feel no obligation to watch unless it makes you go boing. Jimmy Page is still in the leather jacket Yardbirds telecaster days. The Les [...]
Hello Youdopia. I have more ear candy for you. It’s a simple slideshow with audio. The audio is Led Zeppelin in LA on 9/4/70 playing Fats Domino’s Blueberry Hill. 1970 is arguably my favorite live year for Zep. They had three albums out (in two years) and they were ferocious live. They also played tons [...]
Happy Monday, Youdopia. I am a little under the weather today, so I will give you this wonderful little clip of Mr Jimmy Page playing the theramin, and the Whole Lotta Love solo from the 07 reunion. I found this clip while reading about an underground effort to round up all the footage from [...]
Hi youdopia,

Get it here. The Led Zeppelin Reunion show on mp3. It’s in a zip folder and I don’t know how long it will last, but I made it for a friend, and I offer it to you, because it’s the coolest shit ever, and you are too. Squeak.
This clips is hilarious. It’s a Led Zeppelin Name That Tune contest but amazingly funny. Youdopians, this humor transcends whether you love Led Zeppelin, or merely like them a lot. I hope you enjoy the ha ha.I think Meth Minute 39 is a series I shall watch again.
I had to take down the Queermo Christmas. [...]
Michael Lee, who drummed for Page and Plant on all their reunion albums, and tours, died on the 24th of November. That’s a bummer because he was a joyous drummer who really brought fun to the Page/Plant tours. He played great with Jimmy Page, and they had nice chemistry. This clip is from the [...]
Youdopians, I love John Paul Jones! He had a Q&A at a guitar clinic recently, and this is what he had to say about a tour with Jimmy Page, and Jason Bonham. Robert Plant? Probably not. I would love to see the boys play again. They hit it out of the park at [...]

The electric guitar has dominated popular music for the last half century. Anyone who has ever plugged into an amp understands its power. So does the average stadium crowd. But if you have too much exposure to amateurs, you might forget the incredible range of expression that [...]
