Heroin is a helluva a drug. No doubt. I'm listening to some 75 shows now, and they sound pretty fit as a band. Way better than in 1980. The road is hard my friend, yeah the road is fucking tough.
February 18, 20205 yr From the Page/Plant No Quarter special on MTV, circa 1994 The knowing nod that Robert gives Jimmy at the end says it all...he knows that JP fucking nailed it. Edited February 18, 20205 yr by Gooby
March 7, 20205 yr Driving some backroads today and was blasting ‘In the Light’, ‘Ten Years Gone’, Bring it on Home’, and some others. Y’all Shiner in hand. Life was good. No Coronavirus was ingested or transmitted. Good shit
March 7, 20205 yr Bring It On Home is my sleeper favorite song. It has my favorite Bonham drum “fill” (if you wanna call it that), too.

Dave Rawlings and Gillian Welch are absolutely incredible, I’ll let them pass on taking themselves seriously, because they should.

March 9, 20205 yr Dave Rawlings and Gillian Welch are absolutely incredible, I’ll let them pass on taking themselves seriously, because they should. Fair enough. Guess I’m just not familiar with them.
March 10, 20205 yr Zep wins another round in the "Stairway to Heaven" lawsuit. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upholds trial verdict. I tend to agree -- it's not a direct copy, and the basic harmonic progression is hundreds of years old. Nope
March 14, 20205 yr This is my favorite. The whole show is great of course. Jimmy in his mother-made argyle.
March 18, 20205 yr Big fan here, but for a guy who complains frequently that he doesn't want to do the whole rock-n-roll frontman/sex object anymore at his age...remember Plant was still 48 in this video. 48 and wearing essentially the outfit of Jennifer Beals from "Flashdance." Let them do one more show before it's all said and done, please !!!!!!!!!

April 1, 20205 yr True. And thats saying something because that’s not what exactly a stage full of honking dorks.
April 16, 20205 yr https://www.cbs.com/shows/cbs-sunday-morning/video/2316801960/led-zeppelin-for-the-record/ This one's kinda laid back
April 16, 20205 yr Author The first part of that clip, with Jimmy playing "The Ocean" riff at MSG, slack-shouldered, Les Paul hanging below his waist, wearing the black dragon suit, is just an iconic visual. Edited April 16, 20205 yr by Deej

May 4, 20205 yr LINK Quote Austin Chronicle: What is the most interesting item you’ve come across while packing? Jeff Pinkus: John Paul Jones’ broken bass string from 1992. He produced [the Butthole Surfers album]Independent Worm Saloon. Our label wanted us to work with [the Led Zeppelin bassist], because he expressed interest and our A&R guy was British, so he was all about it. They put us on this group phone call and we start talking about dogs. He said his dogs were Pekingese and we all knew what that was, but he had to clarify by going, “You know, that was the dog they had in Hart to Hart.” Back then, me and Paul [Leary] especially, we’d wake up, do bong hits, and put on TV and watch whatever came on and Hart to Hart was one of our regulars. So when he mentioned Pekingese dogs and Hart to Hart, we were like, “Oh my god, this is our dude!” We spent two weeks with him in Austin. He was super cool and we drove him to quit drinkin’. He liked my Guild hollow body bass. We were doing a song where I was playing banjo and he was playing bass. Then he snapped a string. He told me that was the first string he ever broke. I called bullshit on that and he said, “No, for real” and offered to buy me a pack of strings. I said, “Just write me a note saying this is the first string I ever broke.” So then, in the morning, he did this cool calligraphy thing with the string all wound up saying, “I, John Paul Jones, do hereby declare that this is the first string I ever broke.” I found it in a flat box with “most important” written on it.
May 4, 20205 yr So John Paul Jones did a two week residency in Austin in 1992? I Had never heard that before. I'm sure more musicians have stories with him then, this sounds like a rabbit hole I'll be doing down tonight since I talk with so many musicians in my home on Monday nights during a lockdown. Cool story though, have some rep.

Cool story though, have some rep. Yeah, I remember reading about it at the time in the Chronicle, you can probably find some stuff in their archives. My brother was good friends with Pinkus and hung around him at that time. I don't think he ever met JPJ, although he could have and just never mentioned it (come to think of it, he may have...). After he (my brother) passed away I do remember going through his stuff and finding a cassette of LZ II wih the J-card autographed by JPJ, but I left it for his roommates...
