The Legendary Bath Festival 6/28/70 Led Zeppelin’s “Best” Performance Anyone who ever went through any sort of Led Zeppelin phase, is familiar with the pictures of Jimmy Page wearing an overcoat and a “yokel” hat onstage. The Bath Festival has been held in quite reverence ever since they got offstage, back in 1970. The sun [...]
It’s Not Led Zeppelin Moldejazz 2011 You will probably not like this. It’s pure, free, improvisation. Most people call it noise. Supersilent is a Norwegian avant garde improv group, that’s been around almost 15 years. This clip is from the Moldejazz Festival 2011 (just a few days ago), and features Jonesy jumping in and [...]
Unbelievable Solos From Jimmy Page Synced With Knebworth Video Today is the 32nd anniversary of the last truly virtuoso Led Zeppelin concert (in my opinion). On July 23rd and 24th Zeppelin played two gigs at the Falkoner Theater, in Copenhagen Denmark, as a warm up for the huge Knebworth shows the next month (8/4 and [...]
His Best Playing Since 1973 So Of Course Robert Quits 1998 was a banner year for Jimmy Page. He was again touring with Led Zeppelin chum, Robert Plant, and his guitar playing was crazy good. The Bizarre Festival was held in Germany, in August, and Page / Plant were there. And they killed it. As [...]
Led Zeppelin Would Be Proud You’ll Be Smiling By The End As you may know, I am fond of Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Page in particular. I saw this mashup on Wired, actually on Underwire, and I had to post it my self. The amount of work editing this is huge, and my hat is [...]
Four Songs Soundboard Quality Led Zeppelin rehearsed for months, in preparation for their 2007 reunion, at the o2 Arena. For the first time, at least as far as I know, we can hear some of the rehearsals, and they’re awesome. There are 4 songs: Good Times Bad Times For Your Life Since I’ve Been Loving [...]
Dave Lewis Compiled A Great Book An In Depth Look Led Zeppelin’s Last Stand I recently received a package from the UK. It was Dave Lewis’ Led Zeppelin – Feather In The Wind – Over Europe 1980. I’m listening to Bluecongo’s excellent matrix mix of Led Zeppelin’s 6/29/80 show in Zurich, as I write this. [...]
Led Zeppelin 1971 This Is A Good One Led Zeppelin is my favorite band, as you noble readers already know, I’m sure. I want to share an excellent Led Zeppelin concert from August 31, 1971. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant are still at the top of their game (Robert’s voice on the Immigrant Song [...]
Zoso Uber Alles Heroin Fascism Is Trés Cool Jimmy Page has done things normal people have not. Not all of it is good, but most of it is cool. If you would like to hear a solo concert from Jimmy Page’s Outrider tour, you may do so here.
Jimmy Page And Ron Wood Sound Great Together Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) is old friends with Ron Wood (Rolling Stones), to the point of sharing Ronnie’s spouse for a time. Yes, it was the ’70′s. It was 2/13/75 in Uniondale, NY. Led Zeppelin (I believe they were some sort of sporting team. Lawn darts, I [...]
Great Pic Of The Man (and his Gibson Black Beauty) Taken By The Esteemed Dave Lewis of Tight But Loose. Jimmy Page Plays Live After 4 Years Absence I have found two videos of Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) playing Sunshine Superman, with Donovan last week. I wrote about this the night it happened, but now [...]
Hello there, hominids. Yesterday in one of my Led Zeppelin forums, someone posted a link to an entire Led Zeppelin (audio) concert, on YouTube. The show is 8/31/71, Orlando, FL. It’s an excellent soundboard recording, that also captures the energy of the crowd. Jimmy Page (pbuh) is at top form, Robert Plant is still [...]
It’s been too long since I pimped Led Zeppelin. You might have heard most of these, but I imagine there are one or two that are new to you. Personally, I am not enthralled until it gets to the Presence and In Through The Out Door era. I have heard the Zep IV stuff for [...]
How many famous people can you see? I seen John Paul Jones, John Bonham (of Led Zeppelin) Kenney Jones (The Faces, The Who), Ronnie Lane (The Faces), and (I think) David Gilmour’s telecaster. The song is Rockestra Theme, and it was recorded in October of 1978. Paul McCartney and Wings released this on Back To [...]
This is a very special Led Zeppelin show, Youdopia. This is one of the only (maybe the only) live performance of Four Sticks, and Gallows Pole. I’m talking Led Zeppelin, not the later versions played by Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, during their Page/Plant tours. You don’t much better than Zeppelin in 1971. Robert Plant’s [...]
I shocked to see that Gary Moore passed away over the weekend. I never really got into his music, but I always liked his playing. From his days with Thin Lizzy, to his bluesy stuff, and even his solos on the second Traveling Wilburys album, he never seemed to play badly. I am most familiar [...]
Hallelujah, Youdopia! I just heard, through the grapevine, that Led Zeppelin is going to release their super awesome 2007 reunion concert, on Blu-Ray. I am not terribly surprised, as any of the ten trillion fan dvds show hd pro cameras all over the place. I’m proud of the boys for only fucking around for three [...]
You might remember earlier this year, when I wrote about the hand bound photographic autobiography that Jimmy Page was publishing. Well, Genesis Publishing took their time with it, but it’s being shipped to the 2500 lucky few who had the $800 (or $1100 for the deluxe edition) to spend. I almost did it. You know [...]
This is a treat, Youdopia! A lovely person posted this complete, one hour, documentary about Robert Plant, “My Time”. It’s amazingly rich and well made. It’s not just Led Zeppelin, but all about Robert’s solo work as well. Robert is intimately involved, as there are tons of fresh interviews, as well as a ton of [...]
This is nothing new, Youdopia. It’s on the official Led Zeppelin DVD, but it’s also amazing. Plus, maybe you don’t have the DVD. It’s nigh inconceivable, but not everyone loves Jimmy Page, and Led Zeppelin as much as they should as I do. This version of How Many More Times is tight, loose, young, and [...]
