MrZoSo 15 Posted March 12, 2012 Mickey Finn released 'This Sporting Life' / 'Night Comes Down' I played on the song 'Night Comes Down' previously with guitarist / singer-songwriter Jon Mark at IBC Studio, with Glyn Johns recording and probably Shel Talmy producing. I don't think Jon Mark's version ever came out, but it was really good. He later was to tour as the guitarist for Marianne Faithfull and went on to form The Mark-Almond Band with saxophonist Johnny Almond. I played on this re-make with Mickey Finn and the flip-side was 'This Sporting Life'. Share this post Link to post
MrZoSo 15 Posted March 13, 2012 ON THIS DAY… 13 MAR 1995 PAGE AND PLANT PLAYED THE FRANK ERWIN CENTER, AUSTIN, TX On this day in 1995, Page and Plant played at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas — a city with a robust guitar-driven music scene. Setlist The Wanton Song Bring It On Home Celebration Day Thank You Dancing Days Shake My Tree Lullaby No Quarter Gallows Pole Hurdy Gurdy Solo Nobody's Fault But Mine The Song Remains The Same Since I've Been Loving You Friends Calling To You Four Sticks In The Evening Black Dog Kashmir There was a huge colony of bats that lived locally under the bridge near to the hotel we stayed at, and at dusk they swarmed up the river — quite a sight.

MrZoSo 15 Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) 14 MAR 1969 LED ZEPPELIN APPEARED ON SWEDISH TV The band ethic during the promo for the first album was to play live on TV and mime on radio. At this Swedish TV show, they wouldn’t let us play: we had to mime. I think the level of sarcasm shows through. Robert Plant was brilliant on this one.

MrZoSo 15 Posted March 15, 2012 Coverdale/Page was released The album Coverdale/Page was released on this day in 1993, engineered and mixed by Mike Fraser - with whom we had started the recordings at Little Mountain studios in Vancouver - and Denny Carmassi of Heart on drums and Ricky Phillips on bass. The recordings had continued in Miami, Florida at Criteria Studios with Jorge Casas on bass (he also played with Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine), Lester Mendez on keyboards (who was later to co-write ‘Underneath Your Clothes' with Shakira and gained success with Nelly Furtado, Josh Groban and Dido) and with lush orchestration from Clare Fischer in LA on 'Take Me For A Little While'. It was all mixed at EMI Studios in London. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSVqPBLgs7g Share this post Link to post

MrZoSo 15 Posted March 16, 2012 ON THIS DAY… 16 MAR 1965 I WAS VISITING LOS ANGELES I was on my second visit to Los Angeles but my first stay at Gene Autry’s Continental Hotel on Sunset Boulevard. This was to become the infamous Continental Hyatt House; best known as the ‘Riot House’ in the 70s. I was with Tony Calder of Immediate Records and present when he met with Murray Wilson in an LA steakhouse. He came away with the Beach Boys’ publishing contract under his belt and ‘Help Me Rhonda’ was the first single of this new relationship. Tony also had Taj Mahal and Jesse Ed Davis auditioning in a room at the hotel. They were really solid. They weren’t signed to Immediate at that time and only came together on record three years later, in 1968. Taj Mahal in a solo capacity was later billed with Led Zeppelin in January 1969 at Bill Graham’s Fillmore West. Jesse Ed Davis was to perform with Leon Russell, Albert King and Willie Nelson and he also played on albums with John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Leonard Cohen and George Harrison.

MrZoSo 15 Posted March 16, 2012 John Bonham week... Video: Brian Tichy's John Bonham week Today the Whitesnake drummer presents 'Rock and Roll' It's fair to say Brian Tichy knows a thing or two about John Bonham. The Whitesnake drummer is an uber Bonham fan, so much so that he rounded-up some of the world's finest sticksmen for a huge Bonzo tribute show last year. Each day this week Tichy is putting his considerable Bonham knowledge to good use by talking you through a classic lick from the Led Zeppelin powerhouse. We kick off with 'Rock and Roll' The song Brian refers too is Keep a Knockin, Little Richard Where clearly you hear Bonham was influenced for the intro to R&R Share this post Link to post

MrZoSo 15 Posted March 17, 2012 17 Mar 1998 I was with Puff Daddy in New York I went to 'Daddy's house' in New York to hear the mix of 'Come With Me' with all the overdubs he had done. It was now of epic proportions and sounded really powerful. If you're going to hear something loud, hearing it at 'Daddy's house' was the real deal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBqT3CoXoDM Share this post Link to post
MrZoSo 15 Posted March 17, 2012 JP created a sound and a style but is by no means a technical genius when it comes to playing You got that right... it's one of the many things I love about him as a musician. He is much more than a guitarist, imo. This sums it up nicely... Share this post Link to post
MrZoSo 15 Posted March 18, 2012 18 Mar 1969 Led Zeppelin recorded 'Supershow' On this day in 1969, we performed 'Dazed and Confused' with what seemed to be a pretty experienced production team, as the camera angles appeared interesting at the time. They also used some dry ice, which was quite vibey, and we were just part of a number of artists that were to appear on this show - some of whom had not yet recorded and were due to arrive at the building. There was definitely a timeslot for us to do another number, especially as the other artists hadn't arrived, and I suggested to the director that maybe it would be a good opportunity to do 'Communication Breakdown' as a second number, but they declined the offer and said it wasn’t necessary!

MrZoSo 15 Posted March 19, 2012 ON THIS DAY… 19 MAR 1969 LED ZEPPELIN RECORDED THE BBC SESSIONS AT MAIDA VALE, LONDON This was a show that had been done for the BBC World Service, for the ‘Alexis Korner: Rhythm and Blues Champion’ show. Alexis Korner was considered to be one of the pioneers of establishing blues and changing the jazz venues to R&B, alongside the influential blues visionary Cyril Davis on harmonica. As there was, presumably, a blues requisite to the show, we performed the blues standards ‘Can’t Quit You Baby’, ‘You Shook Me’ and ‘Sunshine Woman’ - which was the result of a jam in the studio during that session. There was also the mischievous inclusion of ‘What Is and What Should Never Be’ which was to be recorded literally one month later, on the 19th April in 1969. The brief on that session was for 15 minutes airtime and that’s how we dealt with it. Share this post Link to post

MrZoSo 15 Posted March 21, 2012 On this day… 21 Mar 1969 Led Zeppelin appeared on the BBC's 'How Late It Is' programme On this day in 1969, Led Zeppelin appeared on 'How Late It Is' - a BBC programme recorded at Lime Grove Studios. This was a pilot for an arts discussion programme directed by Tony Palmer. We supplied the musical slot and played 'Communication Breakdown' live. There were no interviews with us. The programme established itself and developed with more emphasis on music of the day. During the course of its run it had interviews with the likes of Eric Burdon, John Lennon, Yoko Ono and The Nice, amongst others. Unfortunately the BBC tape of Led Zeppelin no longer exists. This was a pilot programme. Share this post Link to post
