Hey this was awesome as always and you triggered lots of happy memories and connections for me again ❤. So, it was via fundraising gigs for Task Brazil and Casa Jimmy that I ended up meeting Jimmy in November 2005!. I honestly thought Montreux was just the two numbers,wow.... but I love the video of the guys recording my bucket's got a hole in it... it's infectious and such a joy to see Ahmet so happy. And fun fact; my Brother plays hurdy gurdy and is friends with Nigel Eaton!!! Now, I wanted to close with a theory, maybe a fantasy... Robert performing Stairway the other week, and Jimmy back on stage a few days ago..... maybe another chapter is about to be written? A super solution for World Peace if ever there was one. I live in hope. Thanks my good Friend ❤
Martin i love your theory! Had the exact same thought the minute i saw Jimmy's DoubleNeck. That would be a monumental chapter for Peace and also would make us think...time is running out. Your brother is friends with Nigel? Wow that's so cool and the fact you mey Jimmy himself. Do you think your brother could get me in touch with Nigel Eaton for an interview? :)
JCM, you wizard. Silently zooming in on Page fidgeting like Bunter Hiden at a WH office party luncheon. No narration necessary. Total respect for the intelligence of your audience. Perfect. Master.
Another great episode JC, a hell of a lot of people don't even know about the Montreux 2001 gig let alone the London Royal Albert Hall 2002 performances. Always great to document the hidden depths of this band, keep it up dude. 🤟
Thanks John! This period was fascinating. Montreux has always been home for memorable performances of course. It's quite a forgotten show in the Page and Plant world, funny right? I thought they did a great job overall. The 2007 reunion was really the perfect moment to hold such an event, unfortunately at the expense of Ahmet's passing almost.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed this trip back to Montreux Jazz Festival 2001. The list of artists on the bill for that festival alone....serious talent gathered!
Nice! 19:49 Page dips into his rockabilly run from the “Whole lotta love” medley from “The Song Remains the Same” concert..Not as powerful, but Jimmy doing his thing with the people Robert most likely wanted on stage- 72/73 page for me is the greatest guitarist of All-Time with JPJ and Bonham engine, but Ive loved Pages playing in any decade. Nice work JCM!!
Nice work bud! Thanks for these. Didn't know about this gig. I think Pagey sounded pretty good, particularly on that last number. I enjoyed your philosophical ending there. I think you might just be right.
Glad you enjoyed this journey Dave, this period is very interesting. For both Page and Plant really. The more i look into it, the more the 2007 reunion was great timing although at a very and invaluable price...Ahmet's passing. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for this one! I forgot about Montreux. Watched the whole set after your video and remembered how much I liked the Honeydrippers stuff. Wonder what Plant has in mind for the supposed "Volume II", though I remember something about Nile Rogers doing some studio work a couple years back.
Great video, much of which I didn't even know they got up to. JP really should have known to dump distorted LP and used Tele or ES175 clean on all the rock n roll stuff. Unless he wasn't confident in a live setting, clean generally shows up the errors more ...
Thank you JCM, I have always enjoyed Zeppelin's live cover medleys. Perhaps this could be an episode or 2 for your next destination. My two all time favorite covers are Blueberry Hill and San Francisco (Dazed & Confused).
I hope you’re feeling better Jose. Amazing how you find all this footage. Great summary. I saw the Honeydrippers back in 85, it was hard work trying to enjoy it. I understand that these two feel a need to represent the music that inspired them….but leave it to the Stray Cats, who do it real justice. The Strange Sensation proved to be Roberts last real stab at having a rock backing band. Jimmy fell in love ❤and maybe out of love with music other than 2007. Love these anecdotal episodes that really tell the story of Page & Plant, you can also see how huge Peter Grants influence was over the product Led Zeppelin, without his guidance, it would have collapsed after 18 months. Keep on keeping on JCM.
Hey Paul, thanks for your comment. The Honeydrippers in 85 yeah....a different concept from the organic 1981 stuff. I know what you mean, i remember going through those recordings thinking, this is a bit too much. The Stray Cats were great yes! I say the Strange Sensation was one of his last stable bands for sure. A fantastic cast. Peter Grant and John Bonham kept that ship going. The more i look into things...besides being a musician, as a business/marketing major i am fascinated by the case study method into analyzing the world's greatest rock band!
Robert has always been the musical chameleon, and I hold him in great respect for that. His work with the angel Allison Krause proved that beyond any shadow of a doubt. He went to brand new, beautiful places with their original material. Many Led Zeppelin fans have no idea what a challenge it is to do that. Jimmy’s adaptability seems more forced for him, and I do not criticize him for that. It’s a big deal to make such a jump.
Thanks for another great episode! First thought, why didn't they play Hot Dog for that show? It's the most rockabilly thing Zeppelin ever did. Candy Store Rock is one of those numbers that should have been an outtake. Now for my main thought/question. Plant could work with just about any guitarist in the world, so why doesn't he choose Jimmy? I used to think more that it was because Plant didn't want his older self unfavorably compared to his young golden god days. With the body of work they have done, you'd think they still have some magical partnership that could still create greatness, but now I'm thinking it's more about Jimmy. Page was fully on fire for only 10 years, 68-78, and since then, it's been 45 years that he hasn't really done anything new that's legendary IMO (other than Unledded). Part of it is that he never developed as a singer and he cannot really lead a band by himself, he needs a frontman, and the only real frontman he's ever worked with is Plant.He's dependent on Plant to fully shine, but Plant is not dependent on Page. Jimmy is a phenomenal talent, but it seems that he never developed a writing partnership with anyone other than Plant, and maybe Jimmy's creative juice is gone. He seems to be only capable of going back to the Zeppelin vault and he can't break any new ground. There are millions of people who would love him to play Zeppelin until the day he dies, but Plant is no longer interested in that. I just wish Jimmy would go back to the creative well and crank out something. With his prodigious talent, there must be something possible. Maybe work with Rick Rubin? Come on Jimmy, show us what you've got while you still can!!
Yes I agree. Jimmy looks to the great past, Robert always looks to the future, to do something new. I once read that Robert asked Jimmy to compose some acoustic guitarwork, but he never did come with something. If Jimmy would compose new things and I hope with John Paul Jones together, that would be a way to get those great man together!
Great episode. I think Page & Plant for Page was always a road to LZ reunion, never a goal. Plant saw it different. For him it was full project established to made records n'stuff, but record with premiere material didn't really delivered, so... back to LZ tracks. Plant crowl out from collaboration just before he would be artisticaly dead.
Congratulations David! I hate that waiting in between orders when you are not 100% sure the item is coming haha. But it definitely feels good when the album finally arrives doesn't it! I'm glad you got one of your grails 👍 Brian in Fort Worth 🎶
Working with the Black crowes and David Coverdale is Jimmy Page's lowest points and I'm one of his hugest fans ever he should have never done either one of those things@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Storiesdude who cares about Pete Townsend and who he hates he's so jealous of led Zeppelin because they became so much bigger than the who in every possible way I have no respect for Pete Townsend who couldn't play a good lead on a guitar to save his sorry life all he was ever good for was playing power chords he thinks he's the Jesus Christ of classic rock because he was at Monterey Pop and Woodstock both he also envies Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton
I think it's great that Jimmy Page has a short haircut.Montreux is an iconic place to play a show. They did a cover of a Hank Williams tune. Jeff Beck died earlier this year but he played Montreux this time. Page and Plant played a great gig to an excited crowd. They played a lot of rockabilly numbers.
Hi JCM, I've been busy with chores bracing for winter weather around Lake Ontario. I will catch up more extensively in the future. Love your use of other musical forms in your docs, Alex Lifeson is a bit down and was asking the other night if there could be a little Rush. Best to you and everybody out there.
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories I have a lot of memories. only three years earlier I had seen them in Milan for the first time but in Montreux I knew it would be different. before them, Brian May and Bill Wyman played among others. page sounded great, but plant didn't seem comfortable. there choice of candy store rock blew up the room but I was personally impressed by heart in your hand. the guitar was less distorted than the video recordings that have been around for years. I think I still have it somewhere mini disc recording made by a friend. that was the last time I saw Jimmy Page in person (except one other time in front of his house, as he opened the door for his house cleaning lady). I saw plant at least ten more times, also forming relationships with some of his collaborators (I'm a musician too). in any case I congratulate you, I spent my entire adolescence studying, collecting anything that had to do with LED Zeppelin...then I stopped dedicating myself to other things but your storytelling work brought me closer to my favorite band !
Did not know the bass player broke a string. That explains a lot. Also not sure I knew the set list was so long. All.Page and Plant shows have been damaged by the Zeppelin reunion. I've only listened to choice bits since then.
Yeah, poor Ian Jennings, breaking a string like that. He must have been p$$$ off to say the least. The set list was long yes, i always thought they did like 2 numbers Candy Store Rock included but no, they went for a full set.
Right? He could've used his Fender Lake Placid Blue or the Sunburst he had for Unledded. I think the Les Paul's just looked cooler. Now with his admiration for Link Wray i am not sure why he didn't take at least one STRAT!
It was! But guess...with B side Royal Orleans. Not exactly a great preview of the album. Because it has Achilles, Nobody"s Fault and Tea for One it just has the album's own expectations against it. The playing is of course stellar on all these tracks :)
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Then came....Hot Dog. In the 80s it was another that DJ's played at dances. Candy Store Rock is an outlier: it's neither parody nor a stand alone classic track.
The "partnership that conquered the 90s"?? How's that work out? It'd be great to check one if these out without hype. Nonetheless I read that plant ended the partnership because he wanted to play small clubs, despite page offering multiple solutions. To bad plant made a habit of doing that, he did much the same after the 02 concert.
It's no hype. but a dedicated study i did when working on the 1990s series. How's 32 million dollars in ticket sales? It was a profitable venture considering the state of play at the time. These episodes are the work of a dedicated documentarian, trust me on that one so i provide the best possible scripts and visuals!
Ah you have a great sense of humor without being mean-the Zeppelin hating Townshend. This was one of the last festivals i attended before my twins were born. Yup Plant, Page, Beck, Moore and others. I tell my girls when i die no big funeral just friends and play a few songs like In My Time of Dying and Moore/Powell Sunset piece. I mentioned this before but i feel like I’m getting old now at almost 62 and most of my adopted brothers & uncles have passed away. Jeff being the last one that passed. I think Robert & Jimmy are the last 2 standing. Other than that @?@!@**^er Blackmore which I won’t mention.
Y Jimmy Page se fue al retiro, regresando de vez en cuando con algo... En todos los grupos hay alguien quien toma ésa decisión: John Deacon de Queen, el tecladista Tony Banks de Genesis, el bajista Dougie Thomson de Supertramp, Bill Wyman de Rolling Stones, ya ganaron bastante dinero y quedandose en casa se gasta menos 😁
Haha si, se gasta menos Christian. Aunque en el caso de Page pareciera que entre la lesión y la eterna sombra de Led Zeppelin, complicó las cosas. Yo pienso que si El hubiera querido seguir hay miles de músicos dispuestos a tocar con Page sin embargo...si ponemos el tema económico de por medio, ahi parece que Jimmy sólo quisiera big bucks. Thank you for watching!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Es que veo el caso de Steve Hackett de Genesis quien el año pasado y éste año hizo giras con 3 grupos diferentes: Con su banda solista, con el grupo húngaro Djabe, con el grupo argentino Genetics, sacó 2 discos y un Bluray, mientras el tecladista de Genesis no hace nada desde el 2018 que sacó un disco como solista con piano y orquesta, no sacaba nada desde principios de los 2010, y la gira de Reunión de Genesis del 2020 que fue corta y en donde Hackett fue el Johnsy, bueno, desde hace años que no tienen su número de teléfono. Entonces veo similitudes entre Page y Plant: Plant adicto a la escena como Hackett mientras Page al igual que Tony Banks jugando a la pelota en cada con sus nietos 🤣🤣 Es que vi a Steve Hackett en concierto en junio de éste año aquí en Francia con su banda tocando íntegramente uno de los discos clásicos de Genesis, Foxtrot, y quedé impresionado de la calidad del concierto! De paso que el tipo parece que tuviera un retrato de Dorian Gray escondido...
Hackett tiene una vitalidad impresionante. De eso no hay duda. Me permito agregar que su divorcio no terminó nada bien y su exesposa peleó royalties de su tiempo en Genesis (inaudito). Afortunadamente lo veo estable con su esposa actual. Esto me parece que influyó en su actividad musical. Es cierto que Page y Banks tienen similitudes....sus personalidades me parece que son igual de envolventes y controladoras en sus respectivas bandas. La gran pregunta es que música tocarían como solistas. Ambos se rehúsan a ganar poco dinero porque me parece que las expectativas sobre ellos no tienen un "free pass". Rutherford es como Jones y Plant ea como Collins. Banks es el arquitecto de Genesis, una posición complicada. Sus discos con orquesta me gustaron mucho, me has recordado que necesito el disco SIX!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Si, era el arquitecto y dictador, como decía Bill Bruford sobre Jon Anderson de Yes al que si le hicieron un golpe de estado a finales de los 2000 y lo mandaron a la verg... Todos ésos grupos tienen unas telenovelas que ni las de Televisa 🤣🤣 Cada uno con su "Maldita lisiada", en Genesis era Steve Hackett quien hizo lo más inteligente: No me van a llamar a tocar más con ustedes en ninguna de sus reuniones? Pues yo armo mi banda y me voy a tocar el repertorio de mi época de Genesis y no la música MTV que hicieron ustedes luego que me fui del grupo 😁🤣 Y lo hace excelente y qué banda se gasta! Y Steve Howe en Yes también quien alfin tiene el control total del grupo, igual él siempre fue el principal motor del grupo en cuanto a la composición de la música, Anderson y Howe eran los Page y Plant en Yes. La revolución de los guitarristas segregados en el pasado: Hackett y Howe. 🤣🤣 Si, los discos de Banks con orquesta son excelentes, el Five uno lo puede ver completo en vídeo, él tocando con la orquesta, en su canal de UA-cam!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Y finalizando con Hackett la gota que derramó el vaso para que él se fuera de Genesis es que ésta belleza de canción, compuesta principalmente por él, fue injustamente desechada del último disco que él grabó con ellos, Wind and Wuthering, y lanzada el año siguiente en un EP al que nadie le hizo caso, para mi una de las mejores canciones de Genesis! ua-cam.com/video/txH6Q-7mq5s/v-deo.htmlsi=Q3BVg_6txNsqXfpm
I'm not sure what Plant has done qualifies as progress post Page/Plant. It feels good to him, no doubt. It misses the mark for the most part, IMHO. Just bouncing from thing to thing, reshaping Zeppelin along way and removing the soul from it. So many covers, too. Old age comfort food. Jimmy at least had passion. I don't think Robert wanted to grow with Jimmy. Jimmy would have. Robert's muse is spent and is non-compatible with Jimmy anymore.
I clean forgot to mention, I've finally got a Band back together! Poor audio quality and this was our first run through, and my first time standing up playing for years, it hurt but man was it worth it! ua-cam.com/video/eldkQMBtgec/v-deo.htmlsi=8210EF6zF1CE8lnf
Oh wow thank you soooo much for your kind words, believe me, coming from a truly sensational guitarist which you really are? It means the world!!! It really really does 😊❤ and that's the power of Art.... to quote Ahmet Ertegun "It is a great Life, this Life of Music". You know, folks like us, hopefully we can put the vibes out there for Peace and it will happen.....I hope one day to shake your hand and hey maybe we can share a stage together ❤
Hey this was awesome as always and you triggered lots of happy memories and connections for me again ❤. So, it was via fundraising gigs for Task Brazil and Casa Jimmy that I ended up meeting Jimmy in November 2005!. I honestly thought Montreux was just the two numbers,wow.... but I love the video of the guys recording my bucket's got a hole in it... it's infectious and such a joy to see Ahmet so happy. And fun fact; my Brother plays hurdy gurdy and is friends with Nigel Eaton!!!
Now, I wanted to close with a theory, maybe a fantasy... Robert performing Stairway the other week, and Jimmy back on stage a few days ago..... maybe another chapter is about to be written? A super solution for World Peace if ever there was one. I live in hope. Thanks my good Friend ❤
Martin i love your theory! Had the exact same thought the minute i saw Jimmy's DoubleNeck. That would be a monumental chapter for Peace and also would make us think...time is running out. Your brother is friends with Nigel? Wow that's so cool and the fact you mey Jimmy himself. Do you think your brother could get me in touch with Nigel Eaton for an interview? :)
JCM, you wizard. Silently zooming in on Page fidgeting like Bunter Hiden at a WH office party luncheon. No narration necessary.
Total respect for the intelligence of your audience.
Perfect. Master.
I have utmost respect for my audience, that is the starting point for every script! That shot of Page said it all right? I found it to be intriguing.
Your insight, narriation and behind the scenes goings on is absolutely mind blowing!!
"Thank you" for all you do for the fanatics of Led-Zeppelin
Thank you very much Charlie! This part of the story i enjoyed quite a lot. The 2001 vibes at Montreux were something else!
Another great episode JC, a hell of a lot of people don't even know about the Montreux 2001 gig let alone the London Royal Albert Hall 2002 performances. Always great to document the hidden depths of this band, keep it up dude. 🤟

I have great memories of this show. We were in the same hotel as Page and Plant ( Palace Hotel) and we had a great time with them.
Wow, you were? That's awesome. Montreux is a beautiful place!
Nice! 19:49 Page dips into his rockabilly run from the “Whole lotta love” medley from “The Song Remains the Same” concert..Not as powerful, but Jimmy doing his thing with the people Robert most likely wanted on stage- 72/73 page for me is the greatest guitarist of All-Time with JPJ and Bonham engine, but Ive loved Pages playing in any decade. Nice work JCM!!
Great catch there VJ! Page felt like he was at MSG 1973 for sure! A nice way to say goodbye i guess? Playing music that inspired them as teens!
Did you know ?
Jimmy Page played last night
at the RRHoF
Yes! This is HUGE! I Can't believe it
Thank you so much for another great and so informative episode. Rock on !
Thank you for watching Rainer!
Excellent. I suppose they dont look at the last time they played as being the last, but it means something to everyone else. Thanks
Yeah, maybe their last time will be in their minds! I can only imagine what their memories must be like you know?
Once again, you’ve educated us with great content. Thank you. Looking forward to more. ✌🏻
More to come! This 2001 time period was very interesting. The 2007 reunion was really....great timing.
Nice work bud! Thanks for these.

I remember playing ...Bucket all the time during my gym classes I taught 20 years ago. a great jaunty tune!
Bucket is a really fun track to play, the groove is infectious. Great stuff! They did a fantastic job at Montreux!
Another great documentary Jose👍 Thank u
I’ve seen Iron Maiden live a few times, such a great band.
Outstanding research and production, Jose! So many clips I'd not seen. Brilliant work. Thank you so much for all your efforts. Ernie
Ernie, it's always a pleasure you enjoy these Zeppelin travels. Editing this episode was quite special!

Great video, much of which I didn't even know they got up to. JP really should have known to dump distorted LP and used Tele or ES175 clean on all the rock n roll stuff. Unless he wasn't confident in a live setting, clean generally shows up the errors more ...
Thanks Jose! You ought to write for a music magazine publication or online music site, with how you dig into the facts!
Maybe that'll happen one day, for the mean time, it's all about building this channel! Thank you for watching!
Thank you JCM, I have always enjoyed Zeppelin's live cover medleys. Perhaps this could be an episode or 2 for your next destination. My two all time favorite covers are Blueberry Hill and San Francisco (Dazed & Confused).
This is a great idea Maxime! There's a lot to choose from. The only issue is copyright, but i'll find a way :) Thank you for watching!
Absolutely awesome! Thank you so much for what you do.
You do fantastic work
Thank you for watching Mustang Red!
I hope you’re feeling better Jose. Amazing how you find all this footage. Great summary. I saw the Honeydrippers back in 85, it was hard work trying to enjoy it. I understand that these two feel a need to represent the music that inspired them….but leave it to the Stray Cats, who do it real justice. The Strange Sensation proved to be Roberts last real stab at having a rock backing band. Jimmy fell in love ❤and maybe out of love with music other than 2007.

More power to you with Presence, an underrated album for sure!
Probably the last time they ever played the Walking Into Clarksdale material besides the Allison Krauss duo.
Yes, absolutely. I love that song. Too bad they never worked together like this!

Ah you have a great sense of humor without being mean-the Zeppelin hating Townshend. This was one of the last festivals i attended before my twins were born. Yup Plant, Page, Beck, Moore and others. I tell my girls when i die no big funeral just friends and play a few songs like In My Time of Dying and Moore/Powell Sunset piece. I mentioned this before but i feel like I’m getting old now at almost 62 and most of my adopted brothers & uncles have passed away. Jeff being the last one that passed. I think Robert & Jimmy are the last 2 standing. Other than that @?@!@**^er Blackmore which I won’t mention.
Y Jimmy Page se fue al retiro, regresando de vez en cuando con algo... En todos los grupos hay alguien quien toma ésa decisión: John Deacon de Queen, el tecladista Tony Banks de Genesis, el bajista Dougie Thomson de Supertramp, Bill Wyman de Rolling Stones, ya ganaron bastante dinero y quedandose en casa se gasta menos 😁
Haha si, se gasta menos Christian. Aunque en el caso de Page pareciera que entre la lesión y la eterna sombra de Led Zeppelin, complicó las cosas. Yo pienso que si El hubiera querido seguir hay miles de músicos dispuestos a tocar con Page sin embargo...si ponemos el tema económico de por medio, ahi parece que Jimmy sólo quisiera big bucks. Thank you for watching!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Es que veo el caso de Steve Hackett de Genesis quien el año pasado y éste año hizo giras con 3 grupos diferentes: Con su banda solista, con el grupo húngaro Djabe, con el grupo argentino Genetics, sacó 2 discos y un Bluray, mientras el tecladista de Genesis no hace nada desde el 2018 que sacó un disco como solista con piano y orquesta, no sacaba nada desde principios de los 2010, y la gira de Reunión de Genesis del 2020 que fue corta y en donde Hackett fue el Johnsy, bueno, desde hace años que no tienen su número de teléfono. Entonces veo similitudes entre Page y Plant: Plant adicto a la escena como Hackett mientras Page al igual que Tony Banks jugando a la pelota en cada con sus nietos 🤣🤣 Es que vi a Steve Hackett en concierto en junio de éste año aquí en Francia con su banda tocando íntegramente uno de los discos clásicos de Genesis, Foxtrot, y quedé impresionado de la calidad del concierto! De paso que el tipo parece que tuviera un retrato de Dorian Gray escondido...
Hackett tiene una vitalidad impresionante. De eso no hay duda. Me permito agregar que su divorcio no terminó nada bien y su exesposa peleó royalties de su tiempo en Genesis (inaudito). Afortunadamente lo veo estable con su esposa actual. Esto me parece que influyó en su actividad musical. Es cierto que Page y Banks tienen similitudes....sus personalidades me parece que son igual de envolventes y controladoras en sus respectivas bandas. La gran pregunta es que música tocarían como solistas. Ambos se rehúsan a ganar poco dinero porque me parece que las expectativas sobre ellos no tienen un "free pass". Rutherford es como Jones y Plant ea como Collins. Banks es el arquitecto de Genesis, una posición complicada. Sus discos con orquesta me gustaron mucho, me has recordado que necesito el disco SIX!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Si, era el arquitecto y dictador, como decía Bill Bruford sobre Jon Anderson de Yes al que si le hicieron un golpe de estado a finales de los 2000 y lo mandaron a la verg... Todos ésos grupos tienen unas telenovelas que ni las de Televisa 🤣🤣 Cada uno con su "Maldita lisiada", en Genesis era Steve Hackett quien hizo lo más inteligente: No me van a llamar a tocar más con ustedes en ninguna de sus reuniones? Pues yo armo mi banda y me voy a tocar el repertorio de mi época de Genesis y no la música MTV que hicieron ustedes luego que me fui del grupo 😁🤣 Y lo hace excelente y qué banda se gasta! Y Steve Howe en Yes también quien alfin tiene el control total del grupo, igual él siempre fue el principal motor del grupo en cuanto a la composición de la música, Anderson y Howe eran los Page y Plant en Yes. La revolución de los guitarristas segregados en el pasado: Hackett y Howe. 🤣🤣 Si, los discos de Banks con orquesta son excelentes, el Five uno lo puede ver completo en vídeo, él tocando con la orquesta, en su canal de UA-cam!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Y finalizando con Hackett la gota que derramó el vaso para que él se fuera de Genesis es que ésta belleza de canción, compuesta principalmente por él, fue injustamente desechada del último disco que él grabó con ellos, Wind and Wuthering, y lanzada el año siguiente en un EP al que nadie le hizo caso, para mi una de las mejores canciones de Genesis! ua-cam.com/video/txH6Q-7mq5s/v-deo.htmlsi=Q3BVg_6txNsqXfpm
I'm not sure what Plant has done qualifies as progress post Page/Plant. It feels good to him, no doubt. It misses the mark for the most part, IMHO. Just bouncing from thing to thing, reshaping Zeppelin along way and removing the soul from it. So many covers, too. Old age comfort food. Jimmy at least had passion. I don't think Robert wanted to grow with Jimmy. Jimmy would have. Robert's muse is spent and is non-compatible with Jimmy anymore.
Terrible the way John Paul Jones was ignored by Page and Plant that is when I lost respect for them.
Imagine if they reunited back then...for a Rockabilly set!!
I clean forgot to mention, I've finally got a Band back together! Poor audio quality and this was our first run through, and my first time standing up playing for years, it hurt but man was it worth it! ua-cam.com/video/eldkQMBtgec/v-deo.htmlsi=8210EF6zF1CE8lnf
Great guitar tone there Martin. I couldn't help but doing Jimmy's duckface while listening to this one. Keep up the Les Paul vibrations!
Oh wow thank you soooo much for your kind words, believe me, coming from a truly sensational guitarist which you really are? It means the world!!! It really really does 😊❤ and that's the power of Art.... to quote Ahmet Ertegun "It is a great Life, this Life of Music". You know, folks like us, hopefully we can put the vibes out there for Peace and it will happen.....I hope one day to shake your hand and hey maybe we can share a stage together ❤
