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 [...]
July 3rd, 2011 Dave Grohl Back On Drums I don’t mean to jam more Seasick Steve down your throat, but this just happened, right after Seasick Steve and John Paul Jones (from Led Zeppelin) played with Jack White and Dead Weather. It was a busy weekend.I found this on the Consequence of Sound blog. Dave [...]
Live At The iTunes Festival 2011 John Paul Jones Still Coolest Zep Member John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) has been touring with primitive blues artist Seasick Steve (he’s huge in the UK), and I though I had posted a live performance of them already, but apparently I never did. This will not do. Seasick Steve [...]
Lip Syncing But Still Cool Early Zeppelin Guess what I woke up to, Youdopia? A brand new Led Zeppelin video. It’s not new, really, it’s newly discovered. In 1969 Led Zeppelin lip synced Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, and You Shook Me for the German tv show, The Beat Club. Babe was discovered a year [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 02 [...]
This one’s all for Daddy. It’s Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones jamming with the Foo Fighters. When was this? Oh, yesterday. Yup. gotta love video cell phones, and the internet… and Led Zeppelin. All Hail. I think this night was the genesis of Them Crooked Vultures.
