Whether the legendary rockers reunite later this year, in Toronto or anywhere on this side of the Atlantic Ocean, remains to be determined. <br /> <br />A blog posting last week on MuchMusic.com said Zeppelin would reunite for the second time in as many years to play four shows at the Rogers Centre (the former SkyDome) in August. A Globe and Mail report yesterday said that preliminary discussions were taking place with the dome. <br /> <br />Yesterday, though, two sources in the position to know both said they were unaware of any discussions involving Led Zeppelin playing in Toronto at any venue, with one source completely dismissing the speculation. <br /> <br />Music industry magazine Billboard inquired into the report "at the highest level" and, according to the magazine's news editor Jonathan Cohen, was "fairly confident there's nothing to it."A spokesperson for the Rogers Centre yesterday said there is nothing to the reports regarding Led Zeppelin, but did not close the door. "I would love to be able to say that they are coming, however at this time there is no scheduled date for a performance by the band in August," said Nadia Flaim, communications manager for the Rogers Centre. "It is simply too early to discuss venue or stage set-up, should they come to perform." <br /> <br />The prototypical hard-rock group, Led Zeppelin formed in 1968 comprising guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, drummer John Bonham and bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones. They disbanded in 1980 after Bonham's death. The three survivors reunited for one-off shows in 1985, 1988 and 1995 -- but had their first headlining gig as a reunited Led Zeppelin last Dec. 10 at London's 02 Arena. With Bonham's son Jason on drums, Zeppelin played largely sizzling versions of the band's biggest hits over two memorable hours. <br /> <br />Earlier last fall, both Page and Jones told the Sun that the foursome would wait to see how the 02 Arena show went before discussing, either privately or publicly, any further reunions. Zeppelin then regrouped without instruments in January, where Plant informed the others that he'd be touring this spring and summer with Alison Krauss behind their critical-hit CD Raising Sand. That tour concludes July 19 in Nashville. <br /> <br />With no official announcement from the band, speculation since January has focused on either a Zep tour, or series of dates, on this side of the Atlantic some time later this year. Considering the following band-member logistics, reports of Rogers Centre shows in August make almost no sense. <br /> <br />First, Jason Bonham is touring with Foreigner and they have two shows confirmed for late August: Aug. 22 in Detroit and Aug. 30 in Atlantic City. But the Rogers Centre's only stretch of four vacant days in succession in August is in that last week, because of stretches of Jays, Argos and Bills games earlier in the month. What's more, late August dates would mean Led Zeppelin would have at most just a few weeks of rehearsal time -- and that would require no down time for Plant after his long tour with Krauss. Finally, Plant and Krauss have at least one festival show lined up for September, and if you're Robert Plant you don't just squeeze in a few Led Zeppelin shows between your bluegrass gigs. <br /> <br />Plant was long seen as the biggest obstacle to any Zeppelin reunion. Publicly he always said it was because he's not into "nostalgia" acts, preferring instead to always break new musical ground either as a solo artist or in collaboration with others, such as Krauss. But those who intimately know Zeppelin's music and career suspect it might also have been because Plant can no longer hit the high notes he so fabulously reached on some of the band's most famous songs, circa 1968-73. In other words, he'd have the most to lose if he couldn't pull off a reunion, vocally. That's undoubtedly why Zeppelin played several songs at 02 Arena in lower keys, including Stairway to Heaven, Ramble On and The Song Remains the Same. Those stepped-down arrangements might even have been the key factor in Plant agreeing to reunite. <br /> <br />Might Led Zeppelin yet reunite later in the fall? Say, in November? And if in Toronto, wouldn't it make more sense to play at the Air Canada Centre? After all, no band ever cared more about its sound than Led Zeppelin, and all Toronto concert goers can tell you the sound just plain sucks at concerts held inside the concrete reverberation sphere once known as the SkyDome. <br /> <br />For Badgeholders Only, an Internet mailing list devoted to the band, reported in April that Page, Bonham and Jones had been in a rehearsal studio in London. Presumably, then, they're preparing to play something, somewhere, sometime. <br />Just not at the former SkyDome in August. <br /> <br />(The information in this web article was obtained from: http://www.hiphop-elements.com/article/read/4/25297/1/)</center> <br /> <br /><center><div id='vu_ytplayer_vjVQa1PpcFM1EGdluSplL0rFgmt_y5uwabA7xOpNQ8g='><a href='http://www.youtube.com/browse'>Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com</a></div><script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFM1EGdluSplL0rFgmt_y5uwabA7xOpNQ8g='></script></center> <br /> <br /><center><a href="http://www.ticketsnow2.com/t.asp?id=13093&p=eventsList.aspx?e=1816&v=2012" target="_blank"><img src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll255/jmc2138/plant-krause2.jpg" border="0" alt="Robert Plant &amp;amp; Allison Krause"></a></center> <br /> <br /><center><font size="4" color="red"><strong><A HREF="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/2008/03/led-zeppelin-reunion-show-december-2007.html">CLICK HERE to view the ENTIRE video compilation of the Led Zeppelin reunion show</A></font></strong></center> <br /><OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab" id="Player_f5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa" WIDTH="400px" HEIGHT="150px"> <PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fledzepliv-20%2F8010%2Ff5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate"><PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high"><PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="#FFFFFF"><PARAM NAME="allowscriptaccess" VALUE="always"><embed src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fledzepliv-20%2F8010%2Ff5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate" id="Player_f5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="Player_f5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" height="150px" width="400px"/> </OBJECT> <NOSCRIPT><A HREF="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fledzepliv-20%2F8010%2Ff5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa&Operation=NoScript">Amazon.com Widgets</A></NOSCRIPT> <br /> <br /><center><!-- BEGIN: Shopzilla Publisher Asset HTML --> <br /><div style="background-color: #FFFFFF;border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 10px;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;line-height: 11px;color: #696969;width: 300px;height: 250px;"><iframe width="300" vspace="0" scrolling="no" src="http://publisher.shopzilla.com/pp/content/tal/publisherID-3856/assetID-482/assetTypeID-9/placementID-1/showProducts-3/showRandom-0/start-1/sort-default/onlyOffers-1/tokenID-7X/keyword-led%20zeppelin/style-10px%20Verdana%2C%20Arial%2C%20sans-serif;696969:FFFFFF:990000:FF0000:FFCC00:FF6633:000000;1px%20none;_blank" name="display" height="237" marginwidth="0" hspace="0" frameborder="0" marginheight="0"></iframe><div xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal" style="width: 298px;height: 13px;border: 0px;"><div style="text-align: right;display: block;float: right;padding-right: 2px;"><a href="http://publisher.shopzilla.com/partner_id/3856/index.xhtml" target="_blank" style="font-size:10px; color:#009900;"></a></div></div></div> <br /><!-- END: Shopzilla Publisher Asset HTML --></center> <br /><center><font size="4" color="red"><strong><A HREF="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/2008/04/all-previous-articles-on.html">CLICK HERE to view all previous articles on LedZeppelinLives.com</A></font></strong></center><em></em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7146761764088676357-3330429723113291627?l=www.ledzeppelinlives.com'/></div>LedZeppelinLives.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04657029280383379724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146761764088676357.post-49996932169118217422008-05-28T05:57:00.000-07:002008-05-28T06:03:31.302-07:00<a href="http://www.brimstonerecipes.com/2007/12/crack-that-coconut.html">Coconuts</a> can be a difficult task to crack open. Throughout time, many people have tried many different methods of attempting this task. But the result is ever so rewarding due to the sweet meat that exists inside its hard shell. The difficult part is getting at it! <br /><br />The best method is to puncture a hole in the shell with a screwdriver and hammer. Once you break through the shell, pour the coconut milk out of the hole into a cup or bowl. You can use the milk to make some delicious drinks or stews. Once it is drained you can easily break the shell into many pieces by tapping it gently with the hammer. Once the coconut is cracked open you will see that it was well worth the trouble as you will find an abundance of coconut meat inside which you can use for many different delicious drinks and food preparations.

Current speculation, however, has foundation. "It's my understanding that some preliminary discussions are going on," said Nadia Flaim, the stadium's communications manager . <br /> <br />Earlier this week, a MuchMusic blogger reported that a "reliable source" had provided details. "No fancy tour of the U.S.," the online dispatch reads, "but Toronto will have four dates at Skydome/Rogers Centre this coming August." <br /> <br />According to Ms. Flaim, August concerts are unlikely, due to Blue Jays and Argonauts games already in place. "Just based on the time needed for conversion purposes, it would be a very tight squeeze." <br /> <br />Since the London concert, the group - which broke up in 1980, and last played here in 1971 - have done little to quell rumours. "You never know what is around the corner," guitarist Jimmy Page said early this year. More recently, singer Robert Plant, who is touring with bluegrass singer Alison Krauss this summer, spoke of "unfinished business." <br /> <br />(The information in this web post was obtained from: http://www.theglobeandmail.com)</center> <br /> <br /><center><div id='vu_ytplayer_vjVQa1PpcFM1EGdluSplL0rFgmt_y5uwabA7xOpNQ8g='><a href='http://www.youtube.com/browse'>Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com</a></div><script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFM1EGdluSplL0rFgmt_y5uwabA7xOpNQ8g='></script></center> <br /> <br /><center><a href="http://www.ticketsnow2.com/t.asp?id=13093&p=eventsList.aspx?e=1816&v=2012" target="_blank"><img src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll255/jmc2138/plant-krause2.jpg" border="0" alt="Robert Plant &amp;amp; Allison Krause"></a></center> <br /> <br /><center><font size="4" color="red"><strong><A HREF="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/2008/03/led-zeppelin-reunion-show-december-2007.html">CLICK HERE to view the ENTIRE video compilation of the Led Zeppelin reunion show</A></font></strong></center> <br /><OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab" id="Player_f5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa" WIDTH="400px" HEIGHT="150px"> <PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fledzepliv-20%2F8010%2Ff5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate"><PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high"><PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="#FFFFFF"><PARAM NAME="allowscriptaccess" VALUE="always"><embed src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fledzepliv-20%2F8010%2Ff5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate" id="Player_f5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="Player_f5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" height="150px" width="400px"/> </OBJECT> <NOSCRIPT><A HREF="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fledzepliv-20%2F8010%2Ff5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa&Operation=NoScript">Amazon.com Widgets</A></NOSCRIPT> <br /> <br /><center><!-- BEGIN: Shopzilla Publisher Asset HTML --> <br /><div style="background-color: #FFFFFF;border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 10px;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;line-height: 11px;color: #696969;width: 300px;height: 250px;"><iframe width="300" vspace="0" scrolling="no" src="http://publisher.shopzilla.com/pp/content/tal/publisherID-3856/assetID-482/assetTypeID-9/placementID-1/showProducts-3/showRandom-0/start-1/sort-default/onlyOffers-1/tokenID-7X/keyword-led%20zeppelin/style-10px%20Verdana%2C%20Arial%2C%20sans-serif;696969:FFFFFF:990000:FF0000:FFCC00:FF6633:000000;1px%20none;_blank" name="display" height="237" marginwidth="0" hspace="0" frameborder="0" marginheight="0"></iframe><div xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal" style="width: 298px;height: 13px;border: 0px;"><div style="text-align: right;display: block;float: right;padding-right: 2px;"><a href="http://publisher.shopzilla.com/partner_id/3856/index.xhtml" target="_blank" style="font-size:10px; color:#009900;"></a></div></div></div> <br /><!-- END: Shopzilla Publisher Asset HTML --></center> <br /><center><font size="4" color="red"><strong><A HREF="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/2008/04/all-previous-articles-on.html">CLICK HERE to view all previous articles on LedZeppelinLives.com</A></font></strong></center><em></em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7146761764088676357-3746235395527237724?l=www.ledzeppelinlives.com'/></div>LedZeppelinLives.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04657029280383379724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146761764088676357.post-2206632847193606762008-05-22T05:36:00.000-07:002008-05-22T19:41:28.493-07:00<center>Rock supergroup LED ZEPPELIN are to play four shows in Toronto, Canada this summer (08), according to new Internet reports. A news blog on Canadian music TV channel's Much Music website reports the August (08) dates at the Skydome/Rogers Centre stadium will officially be announced shortly. No other shows will be announced, according to the report, and the band will not tour the U.S. Led Zeppelin founders Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones reunited last year (07) for a one-off tribute show to late music mogul Ahmet Ertegun in December. The trio has fuelled speculation of more dates with remarks made in a series of interviews since the December concert in London. Reports suggest the threesome has been offered upwards of $200 million (£100 million) for a full-scale tour. <br /> <br />(The above information in this web post was obtained from: http://www.pr-inside.com/led-zeppelin-set-for-canada-dates-r600202.htm)</center> <br /> <br /><center><div id='vu_ytplayer_vjVQa1PpcFM1EGdluSplL0rFgmt_y5uwabA7xOpNQ8g='><a href='http://www.youtube.com/browse'>Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com</a></div><script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFM1EGdluSplL0rFgmt_y5uwabA7xOpNQ8g='></script></center> <br /> <br /><center><a href="http://www.ticketsnow2.com/t.asp?id=13093&p=eventsList.aspx?e=1816&v=2012" target="_blank"><img src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll255/jmc2138/plant-krause2.jpg" border="0" alt="Robert Plant &amp;amp; Allison Krause"></a></center> <br /> <br /><center><font size="4" color="red"><strong><A HREF="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/2008/03/led-zeppelin-reunion-show-december-2007.html">CLICK HERE to view the ENTIRE video compilation of the Led Zeppelin reunion show</A></font></strong></center> <br /><OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab" id="Player_f5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa" WIDTH="400px" HEIGHT="150px"> <PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fledzepliv-20%2F8010%2Ff5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate"><PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high"><PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="#FFFFFF"><PARAM NAME="allowscriptaccess" VALUE="always"><embed src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fledzepliv-20%2F8010%2Ff5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate" id="Player_f5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="Player_f5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" height="150px" width="400px"/> </OBJECT> <NOSCRIPT><A HREF="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fledzepliv-20%2F8010%2Ff5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa&Operation=NoScript">Amazon.com Widgets</A></NOSCRIPT> <br /> <br /><center><font size="4" color="red"><strong><A HREF="http://www.ticketsnow2.com/t.asp?id=13093&p=eventsList.aspx?e=1816&v=2012">*** Purchase Plant & Krause Tickets HERE ***</A></font></strong></center> <br /><center><!-- BEGIN: Shopzilla Publisher Asset HTML --> <br /><div style="background-color: #FFFFFF;border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 10px;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;line-height: 11px;color: #696969;width: 300px;height: 250px;"><iframe width="300" vspace="0" scrolling="no" src="http://publisher.shopzilla.com/pp/content/tal/publisherID-3856/assetID-482/assetTypeID-9/placementID-1/showProducts-3/showRandom-0/start-1/sort-default/onlyOffers-1/tokenID-7X/keyword-led%20zeppelin/style-10px%20Verdana%2C%20Arial%2C%20sans-serif;696969:FFFFFF:990000:FF0000:FFCC00:FF6633:000000;1px%20none;_blank" name="display" height="237" marginwidth="0" hspace="0" frameborder="0" marginheight="0"></iframe><div xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal" style="width: 298px;height: 13px;border: 0px;"><div style="text-align: right;display: block;float: right;padding-right: 2px;"><a href="http://publisher.shopzilla.com/partner_id/3856/index.xhtml" target="_blank" style="font-size:10px; color:#009900;"></a></div></div></div> <br /><!-- END: Shopzilla Publisher Asset HTML --></center> <br /><center><font size="4" color="red"><strong><A HREF="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/2008/04/all-previous-articles-on.html">CLICK HERE to view all previous articles on LedZeppelinLives.com</A></font></strong></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7146761764088676357-220663284719360676?l=www.ledzeppelinlives.com'/></div>LedZeppelinLives.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04657029280383379724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146761764088676357.post-59972272203691300232008-05-18T10:54:00.000-07:002008-05-22T19:41:49.101-07:00<center>News Exclusive: Led Zeppelin Tour Toronto This Summer <br />May 17, 2008 <br /> <br />Everyone knows about Led Zeppelin's reunion show in London, UK this past December. Naturally, it was both magical and nostalgic. And a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity, right? Maybe not. <br /> <br />So NME confirmed late last year that Led Zeppelin had plans to go on tour sometime in 2008. Well, a reliable source just gave me a scoop on some Toronto dates. Apparently these dates will be announced shortly...but now you know. <br /> <br />No fancy tour of the U.S., but Toronto will have FOUR dates at Skydome/Rogers Centre this coming August. AMAZING. Hardly any bands play Skydome anymore because it's such a juggernaut of a venue and impossible to fill unless you're, well, Led Zeppelin. <br /> <br />Stay tuned for an official tour announcement, but for now start saving your dollars (cause you KNOW it's gonna be expensive) and practising your Ticketmaster skills (cause you KNOW people will be flying in from all over North America to be here) for these amazing shows.

Led Zeppelin reformed for a concert in London in December (07), fuelling rumours they are gearing up for a world tour - which has prompted bands including The Cult and Stone Temple Pilots to express their interest in landing a support slot. <br /> <br />When asked if Whitesnake would accept an invitation, Coverdale was quoted in the Daily Mirror insisting, "Am I on board? You bet! probably worth billions!" However, Coverdale now insists the quotes did not come from him, because Whitesnake are too busy with their own tour to support anybody else. He tells website www.ClassicRock.com, "May I call upon your assistance to help put out this s**tstorm that be gathering steam about me, supposedly saying I’m awaiting Lord Page’s call to invite me to be the supporting act on the forthcoming Led Zeppelin world tour. What f**king world tour, we ask ourselves? We’re already out on our "Good To Be Bad world tour", thank you very much! I have no idea where this started." <br /> <br />The former Deep Purple rocker admits a union between Led Zeppelin and Whitesnake would be highly unlikely, due to his past conflicts with Led Zeppelin co-founder Robert Plant. He explains, "I assure you there is no foundation in this. Why, after all the charming back-and-forths between one Monsieur Plant and oneself through the years, who could imagine such a premise possible? Not me.

And like the Rolling Stones, they could each make up to £10million. <br /> <br />Fans have been calling for Led Zep to tour after their successful gig at London's 02 Arena last December, which saw Jason Bonham on drums in place of late dad John. <br /> <br />Singer Robert Plant, 59, was originally opposed to the idea but has been talked round by bandmates Jimmy Page, 64, and John Paul Jones, 62. <br /> <br />A long-time pal, Whitesnake's frontman David Coverdale, said yesterday the tour was "very likely" and he was expecting to be the support act. <br /> <br />David said: "I'm expecting a call from Jimmy any day asking my band Whitesnake to support them on their world tour. Am I on board? You bet. Probably worth billions! <br /> <br />"Unlike rolling out the wheelchairs with the umpteenth Rolling Stones world tour, a Led Zeppelin tour will be incredible." <br /> <br />A source added: "A couple of months ago, it looked unlikely because Robert was against the idea. <br /> <br />"But now it looks almost certain. It would either be at the end of this year or early 2009."

It can be served in many different ways and is often the true delicacy on any Caribbean menu. <br /><br />The Caribbean rarely imports any form of salmon from other countries because the blue marlin has a similar taste to salmon. Often blue marlin is sold in steak form and pieces are distributed to smokehouses to become smoked marlin, which is very thin but extremely tasty. Every island in the Caribbean has its own unique way of preparing fresh marlin. In Jamaica the traditional way of preparing the Marlin steaks are to cook them with rum and spice flavoring.

I brought two copies of the Paris Theatre show, from London in 1972." <br /> <br />"Well, they looked a bit sheepish.

The veteran group picked up a nomination for its <a href="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/2008/03/led-zeppelin-reunion-show-december-2007.html">reunion show last December</a>. <br /> <br />The awards will be handed out a ceremony in London on June 16. <br />In a recent issue of Uncut magazine, singer Robert Plant, who is widely viewed as the lone hold out on agreeing to a full scale ZEPPELIN tour, was asked if he felt the success of the band's performance last December at London's O2 Arena was enough of a victory to permanently ice any future work with the band. Plant said, "Not at all. I really enjoyed it. And hopefully, one day we could do it again for another really, really good reason... For people who came from Australia or Japan, to Jason (Bonham's) family, John's family, all the families — anticipation and expectation was huge. The potential for failure was also great because nobody knew what it was going to be like” <br /> <br />Plant went on to reflect on the O2 show saying, "We did what we set out to do and more, in every respect. We showed people that LED ZEPPELIN did go on a bit...The interplay between us all was excellent” <br /> <br />John Paul Jones, who has said that he, like Page and Bonham, would like the band to hit the road, reflected on the reunion gig, saying, "It felt like the first night of a tour. You think, 'Oh, I could do that bit better, or change something in that song.' And we didn't get a chance to do any more." <br /> <br />When pressed about the prospects of a ZEPPELIN reunion album, Jones said, "I'm not too certain about anything at the moment. I've got no idea what's going to happen, but I'd certainly like to play with Jimmy again." <br /> <br />Jimmy Page says that there are currently no plans to release a CD or DVD from the O2 show: "It was recorded, but we didn't go in with the express purpose of making a DVD to come out at Christmas, or whatever. We haven't seen the images or investigated the multitracks. It's feasible that it might come out at some distant point, but it'll be a massive job to embark on." <br /> <br />When asked point blank what the current status of ZEPPELIN is now and if a tour could happen, Page said, "The focus was on the O2 show. That's what I had my focus on. As for Robert, he had a parallel project (with Alison Krauss) and it's been successful, which I suppose means he doesn't have time for ZEPPELIN at this moment. What I do know — is at the rehearsals, and the O2 gig, we were really inspiring. Okay? That's all I'll say." <br />(The above information in this web post was obtained from: <br />http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=96093)</center> <br />

Alison Krauss recently finished a few U.S. shows and are on their way to tour Europe later this month. They'll return this summer to start another leg of the US tour and will be joined onstage by producer and musician T-Bone Burnett. He says that the fans can expect a variety of songs at the show, including some LED ZEPPELIN songs. "We're doing 'Black Dog'. I think we're doing some more obscure ones too. We're doing a couple of B-sides. We're doing 'The Battle of Evermore', which is just mind-blowing. And that's something that LED ZEPPELIN never did live. So it's a great chance to do it now with Alison singing the Sandy Denny part. And of course she just kills it." Plant and Krause won "Wide Open Country Video of the Year" at the Country Music Television Awards recently for the song "Gone, Gone, Gone (Done Moved On)" Which can be found on their " <a

JAZZ FESTIVAL 2008</u> <br /> <br />When rock legends Led Zeppelin announced a once-off reunion concert in London last Christmas, it created the largest demand for tickets for a concert show in history. <br /> <br />Several million fans scrambled to get seats at the show in the city’s O2 Arena, resulting in the crash of the concert’s official web-site, and the subsequent sale of tickets for hundreds, and even thousands of times their face value. <br /> <br />Local lovers of the music of the British rock legends will get a unique chance to hear their music in a live setting next month – but it will be a musical production of an entirely different sort when the inventive Paris based Orchestra National de Jazz (ONJ) come to town. <br /> <br />The French orchestra’s ‘Close to Heaven’ - a celebration of the music of Led Zeppelin is one of the highlight’s of this year’s Bray Jazz Festival, an event which has yet again assembled a brilliantly diverse and imaginative programme of concerts for the town over the May Bank Holiday weekend. <br /> <br />Now in it’s 9th year, Bray Jazz 2008 will host shows by performers from as far afield as China, the United States, Italy, Cuba, Cape Verde, Sweden, Denmark and the United Kingdom, when the festival rolls into town on May 2nd, 3rd and 4th with a programme of over 40 concerts, recitals, and pub trail shows. <br /> <br />The concert featuring Orchestra National de Jazz will take place at Mermaid Arts Centre, which will also play host over the weekend to shows by the European jazz supergroup ‘Mare Nostrum’, featuring a Swedish pianist, Italian trumpeter and French accordianist, and a unique to Mermaid standing only gig with the legendary American funk legend Maceo Parker and his band. <br /> <br />Parker, who made his name as a member of the late soul great James Brown’s band has spent the past decade recording and touring with Prince, comes to Bray with a 12 piece jazz funk orchestra who are legendary who are renouned for their marathon dance shows. <br /> <br />Elsewhere, this year’s festival will a progamme of day-time and evening shows at the town’s Royal Hotel, featuring Cuban drumming great Dafnis Prieto amongst others, a series of world music shows at it’s World Stage at Katie Gallaghers, a programme of early evening recitals in the Town Hall, and late night club concerts at The Heather House Hotel. <br /> <br />Pub and hotel venues around the town will also be in on the act, hosting free to the public concerts and shows each night, over the May bank holiday weekend. <br />(The above

people outside of Australia do not know what the term "<a href="http://www.thetravelvoice.com/2008/02/billabong.html">billabong</a>" actually means. According to TheTravelVoice.com, billabongs occur when a waterway bends, and the water becomes still and stagnant. Australia has plenty of these billabongs that are homes to many unique species of fish, birds and other wildlife. The billabongs are in danger of disappearing, because of development and changes in the landscape, but TheTravelVoice.com talks about a preserve called Kakadu National Park, which gives visitors a glimpse of Australian wildlife that may not be present much longer. The site talks about amenities the park offers and how it is taking steps to preserve Australian nature. If you are planning a trip to Australia, make sure to visit the <a href="http://www.thetravelvoice.com/2008/02/billabong.html">billabongs at Kakadu National Park</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7146761764088676357-152133475975460409?l=www.ledzeppelinlives.com'/></div>LedZeppelinLives.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04657029280383379724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146761764088676357.post-14208105937233867962008-04-27T19:23:00.001-07:002008-04-27T19:51:06.564-07:00<center>John Paul Jones (born John Baldwin on January 3, 1946) is an English multi-instrumentalist musician, and was known for being the bassist, the keyboardist and the mandolinist for Led Zeppelin. In recent years he has developed a successful solo career, and is widely respected as both a musician and a producer. A versatile musician, Jones also plays guitar, koto, lap steel guitars, autoharp, ukulele, sitar, cello, and the three over-dubbed recorder parts heard on "Stairway to Heaven".</center> <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/uploaded_images/jpg1-727013.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/uploaded_images/jpg1-726985.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <br /><center><u>Early years</u></center> <br /><center>Jones was born in Sidcup, Kent, now part of Greater London. The name John Paul Jones was suggested to him by a friend, Andrew Loog Oldham, after seeing a movie poster for the film of that name in France. Jones started playing piano at the age of six, learning his keyboard skills from his father, Joe Baldwin, who was a pianist and arranger for big bands in the 1940s and 1950s, notably with the Ambrose Orchestra. His mother was also in the music business which allowed the family to often perform together touring around England. His influences ranged from the blues of Big Bill Broonzy, the jazz of Charles Mingus, to the classical piano of Sergei Rachmaninoff. Because his parents were on the road a lot, he was sent to boarding school at a young age.[1] Jones was a student at Christ's College, Blackheath, London where he formally studied music. At the age of 14, he became choirmaster and organist at a local church and during that year, he also bought his first bass guitar, a Dallas solid body electric followed by a Fender Jazz bass which he continued to use until 1975. The fluid playing of Chicago musician <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Phil%20Upchurch&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Phil Upchurch</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> had made him decide to take up the bass guitar, after he bought his recording You Can't Sit Down which includes an impressive bass solo.</center> <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/uploaded_images/jpg2-725951.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/uploaded_images/jpg2-725928.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <br /><center><u>Session work</u></center> <br /><center>Jones joined his first band, The Deltas, at 15. He then played bass for jazz-rock London group, Jett Blacks, a collective that included guitarist John McLaughlin. His big break came in 1962 when he met Jet Harris and Tony Meehan (who had just left the Shadows) and played bass for their band for two years. Jet and Tony had just had a Number 1 hit with "Diamonds" (a track on which Jimmy Page had played.) Jones played his '61 Fender Jazz Bass on hundreds of sessions from 1962 to 1968 and in 1964, Jones began session work with Decca Records on the recommendations of Tony Meehan. Between 1964 and 1968 he was much in demand arranging, and playing keyboards or bass guitar for artists including <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=The%20Rolling%20Stones&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">The Rolling Stones</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> on Their Satanic Majesties Request (it's Jones' string arrangement which is heard on "She's A Rainbow"). Herman's Hermits; Donovan on "Sunshine Superman" and "Mellow Yellow"; Jeff Beck; Cat Stevens; Shirley Bassey; Lulu; and numerous others. As well as recording sessions with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Dusty%20Springfield&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Dusty Springfield</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, Jones also played bass for her Talk of the Town series of performances. His arranging and playing on Donovan's "Sunshine Superman", resulted in producer Mickie Most using his services as choice arranger for many of his own projects, with Tom Jones, Nico, Wayne Fontana, the Walker Brothers, and many others. Jones also got to record with fellow friends of Tony Meehan and Jet Harris, none other than Meehan and Harris' ex-band, Cliff Richard and the Shadows. Before these recordings, Cliff Richard and the Shadows came close to nearly preventing the future formation of Led Zeppelin, when they had talks about Jones replacing their ex-bassist Brian "Licorice" Locking. Instead they chose John Rostill. However, by 1968 Jones was quickly becoming burnt out. As a session arranger he was composing scores for horns and strings the night before, handing them out the next day and finishing the product. "I was arranging 50 or 60 things a month and it was starting to kill me." </center> <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/uploaded_images/jpj4-720023.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/uploaded_images/jpj4-720019.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <br /><center><u>Led Zeppelin</u></center> <br /><center>During his time as a session player, Jones often crossed paths with fellow session veteran, guitarist Jimmy Page. In June 1966 Page joined The Yardbirds, and in 1967 Jones contributed to their Little Games album. The following winter, during the sessions for Donovan's The Hurdy Gurdy Man, Jones expressed to Page an interest in being a part of any projects the guitarist might be planning. Later in that year, The Yardbirds disbanded, leaving Page and bassist Chris Dreja to complete some previously booked Yardbirds dates in Scandinavia. Before a new band could be assembled, Dreja left to take up photography. Jones inquired to Page about the vacant position, and the guitarist gladly welcomed his old friend into the new project. As Page has explained: “I was working at the sessions for Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man, and John Paul Jones was looking after the musical arrangements. During a break, he asked me if I could use a bass player in the new group I was forming. He had a proper music training, and he had quite brilliant ideas. I jumped at the chance of getting him.” Vocalist Robert Plant and drummer John Bonham had joined after the collaboration of John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page. Initially dubbed the "New Yardbirds" for the Scandinavian dates, the band would soon come to be known as Led Zeppelin. Jones' decision to leave session work and join a group was due to his desire to express his artistic creativity. Despite the spotlight invariably being placed on the more flamboyant members of Led Zeppelin, many cite Jones' temperament, musicianship and experience as crucial elements adding to the success of the band. He was responsible for the classic bass lines of the group, notably those in "What Is and What Should Never Be" (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Led%20Zeppelin%20II&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Led Zeppelin II</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />), and power crunch and shifting time signatures, such as those in "Black Dog" (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Led%20Zeppelin%20IV&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Led Zeppelin IV</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />). As Led Zeppelin's rhythm section-mate with drummer John Bonham, Jones shared an appreciation for funk and soul rhythmic grooves which strengthened and enhanced their musical affinity. After "retiring" his Fender Jazz Bass in 1975, Jones switched to using custom-designed Alembics while out on the road, but still preferred to use the Jazz in the studio. Jones' keyboarding skills added an eclectic dimension that realized Led Zeppelin as more than just a heavy metal band, most notably on the delicate "The Rain Song" (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=houses%20of%20the%20holy&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Houses of the Holy</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />) played on a Mellotron, the funky, danceable "Trampled Underfoot", played on a Clavinet (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=physical%20graffiti&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Physical Graffiti</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />), and the eastern scales of "Kashmir" (also on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=physical%20graffiti&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Physical Graffiti</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />). In live performances, Jones' keyboard showpiece was "No Quarter", often lasting for up to half-an-hour and sometimes including snatches of "Amazing Grace", Joaquín Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez", which had inspired Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain, and variations of classical pieces by composers such as Rachmaninoff. His diverse contributions to the group extended to the use of other instruments, including an unusual triple-necked acoustic instrument consisting of a six and a twelve string guitar, and a mandolin. Jones often used bass pedals to supplement the band's sound while he was playing keyboards and mandolin. While all members of Led Zeppelin had a reputation for off-stage excess (a label Robert Plant later claimed was somewhat exaggerated), Jones was seen as the quietest and lowest profile member of the group. His professionalism ensured that any excesses experienced on the road never hindered his performance. For his part, Jones has claimed that he had just as much fun on the road as his band-mates but was more discreet about it. Benoit Gautier, an employee of Atlantic Records in France, echoed this impression, stating that "The wisest guy in Led Zeppelin was John Paul Jones. Why? He never got caught in an embarrassing situation." However, following several exhausting tours and extended periods of time away from his family, by late 1973 Jones was beginning to show signs of disillusionment with life as a member of the biggest band in the world. He seriously considered quitting Led Zeppelin to become choirmaster at Winchester Cathedral, but was talked into returning by the band's manager, Peter Grant. Jones later explained his reservations in a magazine interview: “I didn't want to harm the group, but I didn't want my family to fall apart either. We toured a huge amount in those early days. We were all very tired and under pressure and it just came to a head. When I first joined the band, I didn't think it would go on for that long, two or three years perhaps, and then I'd carry on with my career as a musician and doing movie music.” Jones' involvement with Led Zeppelin did not put a halt to his session work. In 1969 he returned to the studio to play bass guitar on The Family Dogg's A Way of Life album, in 1970, keyboards for guitarist Peter Green on his solo album The End of the Game. Jones was Madeline Bell's first choice to produce and arrange her 1974 album Comin' Atcha. He has also played keyboards on many Roy Harper albums, and contributed to Paul McCartney’s Wings Rockestra, Back to the Egg.</center> <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/uploaded_images/jpj5-757441.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/uploaded_images/jpj5-757430.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <br /><center><u>After Led Zeppelin</u></center> <br /><center>Since 1980 Jones has collaborated with a number of artists, including R.E.M., Heart, Ben E. King, Foo Fighters, The Mission, La Fura dels Baus, Brian Eno, Karl Sabino, the Butthole Surfers and Uncle Earl. He appeared on several sessions and videos for Paul McCartney and was involved in the soundtrack of the film Give My Regards to Broad Street. In 1985, Jones was asked by director Michael Winner to provide the soundtrack for the film, Scream for Help, with Jimmy Page appearing on two tracks. Jones provides vocals for two of the songs. He recorded and toured with Diamanda Galás on her 1994 album, The Sporting Life (co-credited to John Paul Jones). Jones set up his own recording studio called Sunday School, as well being involved in his daughter's (Jacinda Jones) singing career. Zooma, his debut solo album, was released in September 1999 on Robert Fripp's DGM label and followed up in 2001 by The Thunderthief. Both albums were accompanied by tours, in which he played with Nick Beggs (Chapman Stick) and Terl Bryant (drums). In 2004, he toured as part of the group Mutual Admiration Society, along with Glen Phillips (the front man for the band Toad the Wet Sprocket) and the members of the band Nickel Creek. Jones plays on two tracks on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Foo%20Fighters&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Foo Fighters</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />' album In Your Honor : mandolin on "Another Round" and piano on "Miracle", both of which are on the acoustic disc. The band's frontman Dave Grohl (a big Led Zeppelin fan) has described Jones' guest appearance as the "second greatest thing to happen to me in my life". He has also branched out into album production, having produced such albums as The Mission (band) album Children, The Datsuns' second album Outta Sight, Outta Mind (2004) and Uncle Earl's upcoming album. Recently he accompanied Robyn Hitchcock and Ruby Wright in performing the song Gigolo Aunt at a tribute for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Pink%20Floyd&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Pink Floyd</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> founder, Syd Barrett, in London, which he did on mandolin. He played at Bonnaroo 2007 in a collaboration with Ben Harper and Roots drummer as part of the festival's all-star Super-Jam, an annual tradition in the festival that brings together several famous, world-class musicians together to jam on stage together for a few hours. He came out and played mandolin with Gillian Welch at Bonnaroo during the song "Look at Miss Ohio" and a cover of the Johnny Cash song "Jackson." He also appeared during the set of Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals where they played a cover of "Dazed and Confused". Jones then closed Gov't Mule's first set, playing part of "Moby Dick" and then "Livin Lovin Maid" on bass, then proceeded to play keyboards on the songs "Since I've Been Loving You" and "No Quarter". Jones also performed on mandolin with all female blue-grass group Uncle Earl, whose album he had produced. Jones played in the <A HREF="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/2008/03/led-zeppelin-reunion-show-december-2007.html">Led Zeppelin reunion show</A> at London's O2 Arena on December 10, 2007 as part of a tribute to Ahmet Ertegun. This year, Jones plans to produce Nickel Creek singer-fiddler Sara Watkins' debut solo album. As previously mentioned, Jones toured with Watkins, Glen Phillips, and the rest of Nickel Creek in late 2004 in a collaboration entitled Mutual Admiration Society.

Havens said. "And that's what we did." <br />The production was titled "The Music of Led Zeppelin." Havens undertook the duties of scoring and conducting, while Cross became the show's producer. <br /> <br />It debuted in a theater within the old Virginia Beach Pavilion. Tony Elliott, a local singer, opened the show in the role of Robert Plant but was soon replaced by Randy Jackson of the nationally touring hard-rock band Zebra. <br /> <br />The current lineup includes Jackson and guitarist George Cintron as well as local musicians Powell Randolph on drums, bassist Daniel Clemons and electric violinist Allegra, who is married to Havens. <br /> <br />Havens, 51, says he and the core rock band hit the "road" - by plane - nearly every other weekend, performing 30-some shows a year and selling out most venues in the 2,500- to 3,000-seat range. <br /> <br />"It's been touring nationally and doing huge audiences in other markets," said Cross, who also is directing the Virginia Arts Festival. "It's the people who grew up with the music, so there are a lot of 50- and 60-year-olds in the audience. "But what I've found surprising is there's another whole generation of 15- to 40-year-olds that are rediscovering that classic rock music." <br /> <br />While "The Music of Led Zeppelin" has turned out to be quite successful for Havens and Cross, the production was a tough sell at first to host orchestras. "The majority were scared to death of it," Havens said. Of course they were thinking of their classical audiences. <br /> <br />"The Atlanta Symphony did it at their summer home at Chastain Park, and they sold 4,000 tickets, and they went, 'Oh, hello.'" Soon other orchestras were picking up the Zeppelin show, and booking agencies in New York also took notice. "A couple of agencies in New York heard about the show, came out and saw us and said, 'This thing rocks. Let's take this out on the road,' " Havens said. He graduated from high school in 1974 during Zeppelin's heyday, but he was never a fan of the band until he started scoring its music for the orchestra. "What really impressed me about their music are the rhythmic intricacies that they have going on and the multiharmonic structures." <br /> <br />"The Music of Led Zeppelin" has a rotation of 27 songs, with 17 performed at any given concert. These include "Immigrant Song," "Kashmir" and "Black Dog." A more recent addition to the set list is the bluesy "Since I've Been Loving You." "That just works incredibly well with the orchestra," Havens said. "During the first section I have just the cellos and violas playing with the band, and then there is this back-and-forth thing between the singer and the guitar, and then the whole orchestra soars up into the middle of that in the chorus. It really works great." <br /> <br />When "The Music of Led Zeppelin" is performed Saturday at Chrysler Hall, it'll be a homecoming for the production. "We played it here a couple of times in the '90s," Havens said. "It's been a long time coming." <br />(The above information in this web post was obtained from: <br />http://hamptonroads.com/2008/04/led-zeppelin-combines-sounds-rock-symphony)</center> <br /> <br

It was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. This was one of the first songs on which Page used his soon-to-become trademark Gibson Les Paul for recording. The production makes a crafty use of “stereo” as the guitars pan back and forth between channels. The vocals were phased during Robert Plant's choruses. This was also one of the first songs recorded by the band for which Robert Plant received writing credit. According to rock journalist Stephen Davis, the author of the Led Zeppelin biography <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Hammer%20of%20the%20gods&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=books&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Hammer of the Gods</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />: The Led Zeppelin Saga, the lyrics for this song reflect a romance Plant had with his wife's younger sister. "What Is and What Should Never Be" was performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts between 1969 and 1972. A live version taken from a performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970 can be seen on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=led%20zeppelin%20dvd&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=dvd&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Led Zeppelin DVD</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.

The song is famous for its distinctive cry from vocalist Robert Plant at the beginning of the song, and is built around a repeating war-like riff by Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham. The hiss at the beginning of the track is feedback from an echo unit. "Immigrant Song" was written during Led Zeppelin's tour of Iceland, Bath and Germany in the summer of 1970. The opening date of this tour took place in Iceland, and just six days later the band performed the song for the first time on stage during the Bath Festival. The song is dedicated to the Icelander Leif Ericson. It is sung from the perspective of Vikings rowing west from Scandinavia in search of new lands. The lyrics make explicit reference to Viking conquests and the Old Norse religion (Fight the horde, sing and cry, Valhalla, I am coming!). In a 1970 radio interview, Plant jokingly explained: “We went to Iceland, and it made you think of Vikings and big ships... and John Bonham's stomach... and bang, there it was - Immigrant Song!” The Immigrant Song is one of Led Zeppelin's few single releases, having been released in November of 1970 by their record label, Atlantic Records, against the band's wishes. It reached #16 on the Billboard charts. Its B side, "Hey Hey What Can I Do", was otherwise unavailable before the release of the band's first <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Led%20Zeppelin%20Box%20Set&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Led Zeppelin Box Set</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> in 1990. The single was mistakenly released in Japan with "Out on the Tiles" as the B-side rather than "Hey Hey What Can I Do." That single is now a rare collectible. One of the lines from the song became part of Led Zeppelin lore. The line, "The hammer of the gods/will drive our ships to new lands" prompted many to start referring to Led Zeppelin's sound as the "Hammer of the Gods." The phrase was used as the title of Stephen Davis' famous biography of the band, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Hammer%20of%20the%20Gods%3A%20The%20Led%20Zeppelin%20Saga&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=books&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Hammer of the Gods: The Led Zeppelin Saga</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />. The lyrics also did much to inspire the classic Heavy Metal myth, of mighty Viking-esque figures on an adventure, themes which have been adopted in the look and music of bands from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Iron%20Maiden&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Iron Maiden</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Manowar&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Manowar</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />. The Immigrant Song was used to open Led Zeppelin concerts from 1970 to 1972. By 1973 it was occasionally being used as an encore, but was then removed from their live set. Live versions of the song can be heard on the Led Zeppelin albums <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=how%20the%20west%20was%20won&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">How the West was Won</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> (featuring a performance at Long Beach Arena in 1972) and the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Led%20Zeppelin%20the%20bbc%20sessions&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Led Zeppelin The BBC Sessions</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> (a version from the Paris Theatre in London in 1971). When played live, Page played a lengthy guitar solo not included on the recorded Led Zeppelin III version. The song is also one of the few Led Zeppelin songs to have been licensed for a film. For the 2003 film <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=School%20of%20Rock&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=dvd&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">School of Rock</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, actor Jack Black filmed himself on stage, along with thousands of screaming fans, begging Led Zeppelin to let them use "Immigrant Song". The song also appears, in a slightly changed version due to licensing reasons, in <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Shrek%20the%20Third&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=dvd&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Shrek the Third</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, when Snow White attacks the city gates, guarded by Huorns. She cries the characteristic war cry of Robert Plant, backed by the riff, as in the beginning of the original song. Starting from the 2007 season, the Minnesota Vikings play this song during their team introductions and before kickoffs.</center> <br /> <br /><center><div id='vu_ytplayer_vjVQa1PpcFM1EGdluSplL3MwxppD0_2KeMibwul5kR0='><a href='http://www.youtube.com/browse'>Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com</a></div><script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.youtube.com/cp/vjVQa1PpcFM1EGdluSplL3MwxppD0_2KeMibwul5kR0='></script></center> <br /><center><A HREF="http://www.ledzeppelinlives.com/2008/03/led-zeppelin-reunion-show-december-2007.html">CLICK HERE to view the ENTIRE video compilation of the Led Zeppelin reunion show, December, 2007</A></center> <br /> <br /><OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab" id="Player_f5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa" WIDTH="400px" HEIGHT="150px"> <PARAM NAME="movie" VALUE="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fledzepliv-20%2F8010%2Ff5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate"><PARAM NAME="quality" VALUE="high"><PARAM NAME="bgcolor" VALUE="#FFFFFF"><PARAM NAME="allowscriptaccess" VALUE="always"><embed src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fledzepliv-20%2F8010%2Ff5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate" id="Player_f5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="Player_f5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" height="150px" width="400px"/> </OBJECT> <NOSCRIPT><A HREF="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fledzepliv-20%2F8010%2Ff5f80fa5-1443-445f-b350-0e505ea567aa&Operation=NoScript">Amazon.com Widgets</A></NOSCRIPT> <br /> <br /><center><u>Lyrics to The Immigrant Song:</u></center> <br /><center>Ah, ah -----------------------> <br />We come from the land of the ice and snow, <br />From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. <br />The hammer of the gods <br />Will drive their ships to new lands, <br />To fight the horde, singing and crying: <br />Valhalla, I am coming!

Its name means golden hill, breast of the gold or hill of the gold in Welsh. The house is owned by Rev John Dale. Bron-Yr-Aur is best known as the residence that had been used by the family of Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant during the 1950s as a holiday house. However, In 1970, Plant and Page spent time there after a long and exhausting concert tour of the United States. Though the cottage had no running water or electricity, they used it as a retreat to write and record some of their third album, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Led%20Zeppelin%20III&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Led Zeppelin III</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />. Also at the cottage at the time were Plant's wife Maureen and 18-month-old daughter Carmen, Page's girlfriend Charlotte Martin, and Led Zeppelin roadies Clive Coulson and Sandy MacGregor. The song "Bron-Yr-Aur" is a two-minute acoustic guitar instrumental by Jimmy Page, is the shortest studio recording under the band's name. The song lasts for 2 minutes and 6 seconds. The song was initially written and recorded in 1970 by Jimmy Page during the sessions for the album, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Led%20Zeppelin%20III&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Led Zeppelin III</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, but was eventually released in 1975 on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=physical%20graffiti&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Physical Graffiti</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />. "Bron-Yr-Aur" is a reflective and relaxed piece, and one of the last acoustic tunes released by Led Zeppelin. It features a characteristic open-C6 tuning (C-A-C-G-C-E) and is played on a 1971 Martin D-28 acoustic guitar This same tuning was also used by Page on the tracks "Poor Tom" and "Friends". Some minor string squeaks and small mistakes were left in by Page to keep the live feel. The studio version of "Bron-Yr-Aur" is played in the concert film <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=the%20song%20remains%20the%20same&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">The Song Remains the Same</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, at the point when the band members are shown driving through New York City in a limousine (although it is not featured on the accompanying soundtrack album). A snippet of the tune can also be heard in the film <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=almost%20famous&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=dvd&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Almost

into "Rich Woman" with an easy flourish, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss took the stage Saturday night at the Louisville Palace to the first of several standing ovations. <br /> <br />Plant, still the god king of rock 'n' roll, strolled out with a quietly confident swagger, his hair in that tangle of curls so familiar to Led Zeppelin fans. Krauss looked like she was headed to a prom in her pink dress, maybe one with "Stairway to Heaven" as its theme. <br /> <br />And when they began singing, it was clear they still felt the chemistry so evident on their " <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=raising%20sand&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Raising Sand</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />" album, his well-traveled yowl blending perfectly with her pristine voice. There were a few goose bumps, and not the last. <br /> <br />This was the first night of the " <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=raising%20sand&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Raising Sand</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />" tour but both the singers and the band sounded fully warmed up. Krauss didn't hit a bad note all night, almost flaunting her perfect pitch, and the band, led by T Bone Burnett, was nearly flawless. Plant was Plant, and that was plenty. <br /> <br />Krauss and Plant performed nearly all of " <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=raising%20sand&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">Raising Sand</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />," a handful of Led Zeppelin classics and a couple of songs associated with Krauss' solo career. They also threw in a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=george%20jones&tag=ledzepliv-20&index=music&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">George Jones</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=ledzepliv-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> cover just because they could. <br /> <br />As expected, the Zeppelin songs drew a huge response -- one guy screamed "Led Zeppelin rules!" barely five minutes into the show -- but they weren't the highlights (although "Black Dog," with the world's spookiest banjo, was pretty amazing). <br /> <br />"Fortune Teller" was better, with drummer Jay Bellerose exploding the song from the inside out, and Krauss broke every heart in the place with "Through the Morning, Through the Night." "Killing the Blues" and "Trampled Rose" were also contenders. <br />But the most unexpected song might have also been the night's finest. Krauss, backed by Plant, Buddy Miller and Stuart Duncan, soared through an a capella version of "Down to the River to Pray," from "O Brother, Where Art Thou?," that was so beautiful it sucked the air out of the room. <br /> <br />(The above information in this web post was obtained from: <br />http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080419/SCENE04/304190011/1011/SCENE)</center>
