Rare Led Zeppelin Concert Uncovered
The same week that Jennifer loans me her Led Zeppelin Live double DVD set - great BTW - I discover that a rare live Led Zeppelin at a location known as St. Matthews Baths Hall has been uncovered.
In an article at www.realrocknews.com entitled "Led Zeppelin Far From Deflated," a fan named Vic Kemp finds an old bootleg CD at a flea market. Turns out to be a rare concert recording.
Some people say its been around awhile, others regard it as a real find.
Either way, folks seem to care and the concert is almost 40 years ago. Impressive.
For the whole story:

After watching 'It Might Get Loud' several times, I want to see Jimmy Page in his prime. On these old concert films I am watching, he is an amazing guitarist, very free and reckless. It's the sound and the feeling, not the technique, that draws you in.
And its the sound of Plant's voice, too, of course, but I could live without Plant's preening poses.
Sorry, Jennifer!
Page on the other hand just plays.
Many men can live without Robert Plant's posing. Many women have enjoyed it...
I appreciate his voice most...
Come on, Paul... as though Jimmy Page doesn't pose. Let's discuss sequined dragon costumes and guitars slung in strategic anatomical locations. Posing (and "preening" and doing whatever it is that Jimmy does compulsively with his mouth, even now in "It Might Get Loud") is part of being a rock star, innit?...
Cool that Mary J. Blige likes their music.

Jen,
Not sure I know what it takes to be a rock star...
Reading Mark Edmundson's new memoir, "The Fine Wisdom and Perfect Teachings of the Kings of Rock and Roll:"
" Rock...was pagan resurrection, rebirth in the body for joy and kicks everlasting... Rock is king because it gets all the buried energies up and flowingfree, calling to us like Jesus (Yes!) at the gate of Lazarus's tomb."
