Led Zeppelin2. Side 1, Track 1.
Whole Lotta Love - the quintessential rock riff. So devastatingly simple.
This album was recorded in various places across England, Europe and the USA. All pulled together by the amazing production skills of Jimmy Page.
Studio version. I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this. Sitting at the dining room table, doing my homework. I always had the radio on to keep me company. This track came on. It was the first time I'd heard Led Zeppelin and I was just stunned. And completely hooked. This is the song that made me want to learn to play guitar. At the time, all I could afford to buy was the single - that's it in the pic. Still got it after all these years.
Live versions of this song were usually extended jams lasting up to 25 minutes (way too long for YouTube) and included lots of covers of old songs that were favourites of the band members. This version is a relatively short version, about 7 minutes only, from the 1979 Knebworth show.
Oh yeah, I forgot.... the middle section of the album version was done using a Theramin. I don't really understand how it works, but you wave your hand around it and it messes with the guitar (or whatever's plugged in to it I suppose) sound to produce synthesiser type sounds.

Jimmy's fantasy sequence in The Song Remains The Same concert film. It is shown during Jimmy's solo for Dazed and Confused.
At first we see him sitting alongside the lake at his Plumpton home in Sussex. He is playing a hurdy gurdy. (I don't think this bit is shown in this clip though.)
It then cuts to Jimmy climbing a mountain face - filmed near Boleskine House (the ex- Crowley house he bought) in Scotland.
At the top he finds The Hermit (from the cover of the fourth album). The Hermit turns out to have Jimmy's face which morphs through from old to young and back again.
It's supposed to be all about man's search to find himself, to seek the answers, etc.
The filming is pretty amateurish but the solo is fantastic :)
40/365. 25/10/08. Puzzles appeared on the 1967 Little Games album and was the flip side of the Little Games single. Except for the great little guitar solo at the end it sounds a lot like The Monkees to me.
we ate at the hard rock cafe in indianapolis today for lunch and jimmy page's guitar was hanging on the wall

These were scanned years ago from the original negative - some of which I later loaned to Freddie Bannister (who promoted the gig) and never got back.
I posted the best picture here a while back

and I just uploaded an improved version - this unfortunately was one of the negatives that were lost!

Kashmir
Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
Oh, oh.
Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin'
I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'
All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream
My shangri-la beneath the summer moon, I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high and true, when movin' through Kashmir.
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
Ohh.
When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there.
Magnificent song by a magnificent band.

My Gibson R9 (1959 Reissue) posing as the Page's number one. I started to play inspired by him. He's the man! In this shot I included a violin bowl too...Dazed and Confused days!
This Yamaha SA2000 was owned by Phil Keaggy and used on many albums like, Phlip Side, Town to Town, and Play Thru Me. I traded this guitar BACK to Phil for his ZION Phil Keaggy serial # 0001. Phil is a monster guitar player and a lot of fun live.
Built in the 1870s, by architect William Burges, in 13th century French Gothic style. It's a Grade 1 listed building: "of exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important". Melbury Road, Kensington, London. Currently owned by, and residence of, Jimmy Page. Sadly, no resident genius in view.
1987 Charley Chandler made Guitar owned by Gary Moore of Thin Lizzy. Used on the Wild Frontier tour.

Led Zeppelin II. Side 2, Track 2. Livin' Lovin' Maid.
My least favourite Led Zeppelin song.
Studio version. As close as they ever came to a "pop" song I think.
No live version of this. I don't think it was ever performed live by the band. Maybe they didn't like it so much either?
50/365. 4/11/08.
The new band's first recording was actually as backing band on a track on PJ Proby's Three Week Hero album.
From the YouTube page:
"Recorded in September 1968, this playful, edgy album "Three Week Hero" was a real departure from Proby's trademark pop sound of the 1960s as it veered acutely towards blues, rock and country. The project is notable for being the first occasion that all four members of the English rock-band Led Zepellin recorded together in the studio [album credits: Jimmy Page (guitar), Robert Plant (harmonica), John Paul Jones (bass guitar / keyboards) and John Bonham (drums / conga)]."
Proby recalls: "...Come the last day we found we had some studio time, so I just asked the band to play while I just came up with the words. ... They weren't Led Zeppelin at the time, they were the New Yardbirds and they were going to be my band..."
The lyrics in this are not politically correct these days so be warned. You have to give it about 2 minutes before the band kicks in and then it gets very bluesy. By the end of it they're really rocking out :)
