Share A Truly Amazing Musician A Drummer’s Drummer This is a sad video, but one I’d not seen before. It was recently discovered and posted in the forums of my favorite Led Zeppelin site, Royal Orleans. There’s not really any good footage of band members, although you can see a bunch of people file past [...]
Share John Paul Jones Completely Dismisses Reporter At Led Zeppelin Celebration Day Press Conference at MoMA in NYC Led Zeppelin is in New York City today, to receive Kennedy Center Honors, from President Obama (time makes everyone respectable) and to promote their upcoming movie, Celebration Day. Today (October 9, 2012) at the press conference held [...]
ShareFriday, Sept. 21, 2012 London. Page, Plant, Jones Good stuff, Maynard. Led Zeppelin’s surviving members sat together for a press conference promoting their upcoming release, Celebration Day. There were no alarms an no surprises, but it was nice to see them together again, for likely the last time. The takeaway from the event was, it’s [...]
ShareCelebration Day Theaters In October, DVD/Blu-Ray In November Led Zeppelin are finally releasing their amazing 2007 reunion show, and it’s about goddamn time. This project was ready to go a year ago, but the boys couldn’t agree about releasing it. It’s ok though, because it’s going to be awesome. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul [...]
ShareLast Po’ Man July 29, 2012 I took a look at TBL.com this week, the same fellow who wrote Feather In The Wind, to catch up on Led Zeppelin related news. As usual Robert Plant and John Paul Jones have been doing cool shit all over the place, and Jimmy Page got his picture taken [...]
ShareSwan Song Artist “British Janis Joplin” Led Zeppelin was not unique in having their own record label (Swan Song) during their heyday. Where they were different from most other vanity labels, is in the success of their other artists (Bad Company, Dave Edmunds, The Pretty Things). Before the drugs took over, Peter Grant and Jimmy [...]
ShareThis song is great. It’s wonderful. It stands on its own. Robert Plant may have been a bit strident with his “Led what?” bullshit of his early solo career, but that’s because he had an honest solo career for years before he gave in and starting squeezing lemons again (lighten up, baby. I’m in love [...]
ShareThe 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 [...]
ShareThe ZoCrowes Were tight The Army Of Guitars Was Achieved I’m sorry I never got to see Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes (who played together recently) when they toured in 2000. I wasn’t really enamored with their album. I don’t like Chris Robinson’s voice singing Zep (I love him singing his own stuff). He [...]
Share 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 [...]
ShareUnbelievable 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 [...]
ShareHis 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 [...]
Share 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 [...]
Share 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 [...]
ShareZoCrowes Reunion 2011 Final Crowes Show In UK Jimmy Page got offstage about two hours ago, from playing with the Black Crowes on their farewell to England Tour. This video appeared on YouTube about 20 minutes ago (from post time). I act fast. Jimmy Page was supposed to launch his website today. That hasn’t happened [...]
ShareDave 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. [...]
Share 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 [...]
ShareJimmypage.com Stirs Anew Mysterious Countdown, Vicar Gone Missing Take a look at jimmypage.com. After almost a year of “Coming Soon”, the home page of Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) is adorned with an animated hourglass, with sand falling through, and a countdown in Roman numerals. How do I know it’s a countdown? I know because the [...]
Share The Outrider Tour Featured Jimmy Page’s Finest Playing Since 1973. This song, Emerald Eyes, is an instrumental from Jimmy Page’s Outrider album, and it really comes to life in concert. There’s 80′s cheese all over this. From the on the beat, soulless thudding of a 22 yr old Jason Bonham, to the icky tone… [...]
