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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
You know what, Youdopians, I discovered my porn in the same place that every American boy does, in the woods. It was a stack of Club magazines. Faded from the sun, and starting to pulpify… but intact nonetheless. That’s exactly where I found this. It’s the Fan’s Edition of The Song Remains The Same.
What’s that [...]
This is a post from the old blog. I liked it and I moved it to its new home.
Led Zeppelin. They’re back… and they’re a real band. I’m listening to the reunion show, w/ headphones, and… I just got lost in the groove… like w/ Zep. Jason Bonham is doing a remarkable job of honoring [...]
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.
You probably know by now that I have a fondness for the Zep. I also have an extreme fascination with bootlegs, and illicit recordings, of any nature. I love it that almost every show performed by my favorite band has at least some sort of document it. This little gem is great, because it [...]
Jimmy Page can do no wrong. He is my real daddy. I love him. Every insane
quality attributed to Chuck Norris is false. The question to every Jeopardy answer is “Who is Jimmy Page?”
It’s true. From the Crown to the Kingdom…. the Zosophonic one reigns. By the way, this clip is surreal and ridiculous in [...]
