He's holding a new "Jimmy Page Signature Les Paul Custom" which will be his 3rd signature guitar to be commissioned for him by Gibson. I really want one but it is certain to be quite expensive. I'm guessing in the $7000+ range.

Led Zeppelin have given a clear hint that they are thinking about staging a full-scale tour after their reunion gig next month.
Speaking to Guitar World magazine in the States, guitarist Jimmy Page suggested the one-off show may lead to something bigger.
"It's a bit silly not to because there is such massive demand," he said.
Until now, the band had said they were only planning to do the one show at the O2 Dome, in honour of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.
But following what Page described as the "overwhelming" reaction to the show, clearly they are re-thinking things. It's estimated up to 20 million people applied for just 18,000 tickets.
"It's a bit selfish to do just one show. If that's it, we probably shouldn't have taken the genie out of the bottle," he said.
The show has been delayed while Page rests a broken finger on his left hand. He got the injury when he tripped over a paving slab in the dark.
"The light was very dim and I tripped over something and I landed on various bits of my anatomy but of course the crucial part was left hand, little finger," Page has previously told Sky News.
The rescheduled gig at the O2 Arena will now take place on December 10.
I’m on the Rock ping list, I’ve just never cared for Led Zep, but I will probably go see them if they come to the east coast if for no other reason than to be able to say I saw them.
Is it true there's actually a recorded live version of "Dark Star" that lasts longer than the uncut Lord of the Rings movie trilogy...? ;)

My 21 yr old son has all their cds. He is into guitar bands. ACDC, the who, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Ted Nugent, etc. Makes a dad proud!!:)
I never “got” Dark Star (and it still isn’t one of my favorites, I vastly prefer Wharf Rat, Stella Blue, Terrapin, He’s Gone and Friend of the Devil) until I saw the “return” of it after five years in Hampton in 1989.

Les Paul is 93 and still playing every week. Are they going to be his opening act?

I saw "The Division Bell" tour and it's still my favorite concert I ever saw. I know it wasn't with all the original members but it was my best opportunity at the time to see some of the remaining members of the original Pink Floyd.
The light show alone was well worth the money. It was awesome.
4th of July weekend in '94 at Camp Randall Stadium (80,000 people) in Madison. It was a blast.
Kessey died a few years back.
Owsley is in OZ fearing global warming and black helicopters...
Thanks for the picture eye opener. I didn’t think I’d ever see that.
I figured they were both dead by now.
Owlsley mixed down the blue cheer album using an oscilloscope
I tease him about the Dead, too. I'm just evil and wrong that way, is all. ;)
LOL!!
For guitar! Wow.
Did you know that the trees/wood at the bottom of Lake Superior produces some of the best wood for making guitars. Clapton had some made from it. I'll find you an article on it.
No harder to believe than Mick Jagger's own bootleged "Co**sucker Blues" with the lines "Where do I go to get my **** sucked? Where do I go to get my *** *ucked?"
And Bob Dylan WAS a rock and roll fan who has been DENIED his right to enjoy these songs by pinko lib folkie types. He DID sing a doo wop duet with Rambling Jack Elliot about pimples.
And Paul McCartney and John Lennon DID reunite in the 1970s for coke party in the studio, the session tapes got bootlegged as "a toot and a snort":
Libs always have to put their own biases into a story even when they know nothing about the subject.
I agree. I saw them in Tuscaloosa around the same time and thought they were terrible. The best show I ever saw was Jetho Tull...both times.
