look children, the Gods...Jimmy Page playing guitar on TV in 1957 at 14 year old... Click Here.
Jimmy Page replaced Jeff Beck in the Yardbirds in 1968.
Heart's tribute to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center in 2012.
All but one?
iiiiiiiits truuuuuuuuu (gravely voice)
can all the walkers and wheelchairs fit in the stadiums ?
depends.
Listening to Little Steven the other day, where he made the statement that virtually all of “hard rock” can be traced back to the guitarists of The Yardbirds. Without nitpicking the statement to death, there’s a fair amount of truth in it...
The Jimmy Page bio on YouTube is a great one too.
Nothing like heavy metal screeching and zinging to bring out the panting and lusting Conservatives who constantly complain about the left’s awfulness.
I don’t think Bobby can hit those high notes like he used to.
I hope not.
Only good one is dead, anyhow.
Could not care less.
Riiight....
When the levee breaks.
(Although, I’m there if they do.)
I’m in. Sounds great if true. I was lucky to see the last yardbirds concert with Jeff Beck. Both Jeff and Jimmy page were playing lead.
all our voices are shot.
I’m so old I thought most of them were dead.
Did you by any chance see them in Bham, early 80’s?
I think that rumor’s been going around for 25 years now ...
Albums were ok. My band played the hell out of “Houses of the Holy,” and with our female singer (and, yes, my super powerful drumming) we knocked “Stairway to Heaven” out of the park.
But, I got a bootleg live album of theirs & it was horrible. I figured it was the bootleg. In 1977, as part of the Icarus tour, I saw them at Sun Devil Gym (the new one). They were just terrible. I was reviewing for a music mag then and wrote a scathing review. Plant sang EVERYTHING an octave lower, couldn’t hit a high note to save his life. Page was so stoned or drunk that he-—not making this up-—had to be sat in a chair and the roadies had to cross his legs for him. They completely blew the syncopation on one “Physical Graffiti” song with the bass player/Page together, Bonham in another universe. The bass player was demonstrably pissed, trying to use his guitar as a metronome.
Later, I talked to two other people who went to that concert as fans and they had the same reaction. Likely the worst concert I ever saw, and that included Big Brother & the Holding Company without Joplin.
It’s ain’t Zeppelin without Bonham.
look children, the Gods...Bought their first , second and third albums back in the day . Dug the first 2 but traded the third with a friend . Don’t remember what I got in exchange . Never bought another Zep album .
