Led Zeppelin: The 'Tight But Loose' Files

Product Information

As for the sound quality, on this JRK remix, I’m no audiophile but I know what I like and this new presentation does sound more muscular and vibrant.

In summary – collecting music in all its varying formats is in my DNA and a source of constant inspiration. That is a mere sample of what is on offer online to access – it takes in many a post Zep interview and broadcast right up to last year. Notable cover version of Zep songs include Betty Joe’s fairly straight rendering of D’yer M’aker, Patti Boulaye’s take on All My Love and Far Corporation’s rather saccharine attempt at Stair ay To Heaven – a 1985 UK hit. 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…This was the second day of the launch of the revised version of my Then As it Was Led Zeppelin At Knebworth 1979 book at the two day VIP Musicmania Fair at Olympia. Paul also pays tribute to his father Jim and school teacher Alan Durband – his Liverpool upbringing clearly shaped the man he became. It’s worth mentioning here I have a bit of stigma about Rolling Stones live albums. I happen to think they made their best live recordings when they were making that run of classic albums that began with Let It Bleed in 1969 and ran through the next decade with the release of Some Girls in 1978.

Over the next few days and weeks (however long it takes!) I will be intensely listening to this ultimate White Album experience. With the 46th anniversary of Led Zeppelin’s activities in 1975 upon us -I will be celebrating this era with a series of TBL Led Zep 1975 Snapshots – these will take the form of postings covering specific gigs and events from the era, with particular spotlight on the period January to May 1975.

April 6– The exhibition “The Wiltshire Thatcher – a Photographic Journey through Victorian Wessex” featuring the original photograph from the cover of Led Zeppelin’s fourth album will open at Wiltshire Museum.Robert paid tribute to the late Ralph Stanley who he had worked with and delivered a superb take on As I Roved. As for the performances it’s always a joy to hear this fantastic example of their on stage prowess.

Zeppelin emanates a high voltage electric fever… Their efforts are super-human. Some groups are good enough to command an audience. Zeppelin, however, is in the category of those who can assault one.” A few interesting anecdotes regarding Zep’s appearance at the festival: Peter Grant fell out with Blood, Sweat & Tears when they wouldn’t leave the stage; a naked spectator jumped on stage, fell on Bonzo’s drums, and was thrown off the stage by roadies; Janis Joplin allegedly took in Zeppelin’s performance from the side of the stage (she followed them on the bill). 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. The collecting of the 45 RPM format remains a joy for me and there’s been many a bargain acquired this past year. There were frequent cries from the audience of ‘’Wally’’ a gig going tradition sparked by a roadie at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. Never around when needed, the road crew cries of ‘’Where’s Wally?’’ was taken up by the festival audience – and ensuing audiences at big name gigs such as this one.Graham on 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
