Led Zeppelin: The 'Tight But Loose' Files

Product Information

Stairway To Heaven is played in the conventional manner, though outside of beefing up as a rap number (heaven forbid!) is perhaps only way to do it. The finale has something of the regal status the Wilson’s brought to their epic version at the Kennedy Honors ceremony Robert paid tribute to the late Ralph Stanley who he had worked with and delivered a superb take on As I Roved. The Saving Grace line up arrived on stage with Oli Jefferson (drums and percussion, Tony Kelsey (guitars, mandolin) and Matt Worley (banjo, guitars, cuatro) soon to be joined by Suzi Dian (vocals, accordion, and tonight, occasional bass) and Robert Plant (vocals, percussion)

Thee final encore of Heartbreaker is preceded by some lines from You Shook Me- during the solo they move into an impromptu version of That’s Alright Mama’ A perfect end to a perfect party. Plant: “Ladies and gentlemen of New York… you’re too much… and we ain’t so bad ourselves!” As for the many Macca revelations, we get to know who Desmond was in Ob- La- Di –Ob-La- Da, the location and moment John and he cried together as documented in his moving Lennon tribute Here Today (‘’What about the night we cried’’), the identity of the man who was standing with ‘’a bootleg in his hand’’ in Hi Hi Hi and what might have been a more appropriate title for his baring of the soul to John lament Dear Friend. These examples are a mere snapshot of many a revealing anecdote. This exciting news broke on Saturday and was all over the Led Zep Facebook groups – a newly surfaced audience tape of the Led Zeppelin’July 5, 1969 performance at the Atlanta International Pop Festival emerged online… To Bedford Park for the presentation of Paul Weller in the series of very well organised events by Bedford Park Concerts. Along with other contributors notably Chris M, they make up the extensive archive that is now ready to be accessed online.Level Two: each of the 154 song lyrics presented are accompanied by an array of fascinating memorabilia – hand writing lyrics, orchestral charts and logs, original diary entries all woven in with a quite stunning selection of photos – many of them new to me and for a man with countless Beatles books on the shelf that is some feat. Early on stage Beatles shots, candid Abbey Road studio images, relaxed shots of Paul and Linda on their Scottish farm retreat and many more –for example: want to see the actual moment Paul began writing Two Of Us which they were on a drive into the country ? It’s all here. 600 images in total drawn from his own personal archives. Robert Plant’s vocal supremacy, his charisma, his rapport with the audience – all this combined to make this one of the best gigs I have ever had the privilege to witness.

I took the opportunity to try on this rather fetching Zozo jumper a perspective buyer of the book had brought in – this is the style of jumper Jimmy wore at the 1971 Electric Magic shows at Wembley Empire Pool in November 1971 …I think he looked better on him than it did me… ROBERT PLANT & SAVING GRACE ON THE SPOT TOUR UK TOUR REPORTS/LZ NEWS/ELECTRIC MAGIC 52 YEARS GONE/PETER GRANT/KNEBWORTH BOOK LAUNCH TEN YEARS GONE/ BEATLES WHITE ALBUM/VICTORIA VIP RECORD FAIR/ DL DIARY BLOG UPDATE Being a man of physical product, I am more than happy for that situation to happen and I will be keeping an eye out for the CD bargains to appear in charity shop outlets – there’s some great stuff to be had and I still love that format. This is the sound of a band finding new avenues for their music at every developing gig – and this is the sound that in the summer of 1969, simply slayed every audience they accounted… CHARLES SHAAR MURRAY INTERVIEW FOR NEXT TBL/ ROBERT PLANT US TOUR REPORTS/INTERVIEW CLIP / YOU TUBE CLIPS/ DL DIARY UPDATE - 27,686 viewsBy 1981’s Still Life release my interest in live Stones albums was on the wane. In recent years Stones fans have been well served with live recordings notably in the From The Vaults series – and I did indulge in the Marquee 1971 set and the excellent Brussels Affair form 1973. For those fans attending the imminent Scottish dates in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Perth, you are all in for an absolute treat… KNEBWORTH BOOK LAUNCH/VIP MUSICMANIA REPORT/ JIMMY RAMBLIZE/ROBERT MALI 2/ SOCCER BID/JPJ WITH SUSANNA AND DAVE RAWLINGS/DR WHO/KENNEDY/DL DIARY UPDATE - 26,641 views

Two sides of White Album covers issued in February 1969.The A side is a faithful chorus led outing that omits Lennon’s ad-libbed ”All the children sing” The B side version of I Will is a dreamy pleasingly whimsical affair with multi layered vocals. Youngblood were a Birmingham based band with Cozy Powell featuring in their line up until late 1968.

TBL 5 : Released October 1980

At this time the sun seemed to be shining every day to Good Day Sunshine summed up our feelings and the whole of a generation” I managed to wade through the snow early on Monday morning to return my heart monitor to the Hospital. My next appointment is next Friday (Feb 19). Janet is getting over the worst of her cold and full on at pre- school. It’s half term next week – a welcomed rest for the good lady. Weather permitting, we will be trying to fit in some walks in to keep strengthening her leg which ahs been a bit sore recently.

Like I said – it’s not just an album…its a way of life…being re acquainted with this incredible new remastered reissue has been quite life affirming In the light of all that here’s the DL Valentines playlist – some of the most romantic and deeply touching love songs ever written in the view of your TBL editor: As for the performances it’s always a joy to hear this fantastic example of their on stage prowess. In summary – collecting music in all its varying formats is in my DNA and a source of constant inspiration. Ultimately there was to be no Marquee 1976 release for Zep fans but 47 years on there is El Macombo 1977 – and if you are a Stones fan, I would recommend you invest in this essential live album at the earliest opportunity.White Sky, Long Time and Cosmic Fringes – the latter from last year’s excellent Fat Pop album, set the standard for what was to come.
