MrZoSo 15 Posted March 6, 2012 On this day… 06 Mar 1968 I appeared on BBC Radio's Saturday Club with The Yardbirds The only way to play this material on the radio was via these sort of programmes and, although we were promoting the awful 'Goodnight Sweet Josephine', this was still a vehicle where you could pass 'Think About It', 'White Summer' and 'Dazed and Confused' under the pop-dominated radar. 'Think About It' was to be covered later by Aerosmith. Share this post Link to post

MrZoSo 15 Posted March 7, 2012 07 MAR 1970 I PLAYED THE MONTREUX CASINO HALL IN SWITZERLAND WITH LED ZEPPELIN Philippe Paringaux, a Parisian journalist, became a friend of mine and he came to see the show at the Montreaux Casino and do an interview. This was pre-Smoke On The Water period. The casino burned down, destroyed by fire in December 1971, and was subsequently rebuilt. Setlist We're Gonna Groove I Can't Quit You Baby Dazed and Confused Heartbreaker White Summer / Black Mountainside Since I've Been Loving You Organ solo / Thank You What Is and What Should Never Be Moby Dick How Many More Times (medley) Whole Lotta Love Interview: "... Led Zeppelin has electrified blues (and rock as well, since the final quarter of an hour was devoted to a medley of old themes hurled against the rock scene with a wild-eyed crowd and made to kneel in prayer, one of the worshipers of the god page) to the bottom of his old bones and does something else, a language so different from what it originally was that the question of authenticity does not even arise. What was human became mechanical, but this particular machine has a pretty terrifying power of those to whom it speaks, comparable only to that of another set that does not make sense, the Iron Butterfly (already the name ... ): the power to make its listeners giddy sense of the term. Page, who I asked after the show what he thought, looked surprised, as if this problem he had never occurred to me, as if it was not surprising to see a boy of fifteen years to roll to his feet and worship, pray. Pray for Jimmy Page! The latter he had he put his boot in the face, the kid would have said thank you and licked the blood from his lips touched by God. "It feels fantastic to make people so happy," he said. Happy? Perhaps, after all ... Led Zeppelin was huge and ominous, as the red sky projectors, crackling furnace in which the gods were twisted-puppets of the great decline. " Phillipe Paringaux Photo/Publishing...

MrZoSo 15 Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) ON THIS DAY… 10 MAR 1967 JEFF BECK RELEASED ‘HI HO SILVER LINING’ / ‘BECK’S BOLERO’ After the split in The Yardbirds following the American tour, Simon Napier-Bell (the then current manager) had decided to do a deal with Peter Grant under the umbrella of ‘Mickie Most’ productions. With Jeff Beck now having a solo career, the first single that he released was ‘Hi Ho Silver Lining’ with Mickie producing. The B-side was ‘Beck’s Bolero’ which had been recorded sometime earlier, when Simon Napier Bell had considered that The Yardbirds could make solo records. The session for ‘Beck’s Bolero’ was at IBC Studio in London, the engineer was Glyn Johns, Jeff was on lead guitar, myself on electric 12-string, Keith Moon on drums, John Paul Jones on bass and Nicky Hopkins on piano. Keith Moon played with such ferocity that he broke an overhead microphone and hadn’t realised that he had done so it until the bits were bouncing up and down on his drums. It was a really good choice by Jeff to put this on the B-side of ‘Hi Ho Silver Lining’. Edited March 10, 2012 by MrZoSo Share this post Link to post
