or even if you're not really a fan....

"The Ocean" played at Madison Square Garden, 1973. It's from the double DVD that was released a couple of years ago. One of my very favorite
moments of live footage I've seen of them.

I wish I was there.

Oh shut it!


You know you love it. And this is actually the very FIRST Zeppelin thread I've even started here. Believe it or not.

Get that steaming chicken wing out of my face.

A-HA! I knew you would come to your senses about that smelly meat emoticon.

(but only just this once.)

minneapolisgenius said:

Just for you I'm gonna watch that youtube vid.

(4:30 minutes later)

Wow! Robert Plant looked really good back then. I might have to play my Zeppelin greatest hits CDs when I get home tonight.

sextonseven said:

Aw, thanks for watching on my behalf.

And yes I agree.

minneapolisgenius said:

I read in the concerts forum that you'll be in NYC in two weeks. Is that for the Robert Plant show on the 23rd? If so then you are true fan!

I've been exposed to that footage. I've also since been inoculated.

sextonseven said:

Yes, I will be. But I doubt I'll see him perform (he's doing a benefit for Arthur Lee of Love, who has leukemia and has no health insurance.) because I have limited funds this summer.

I know it's for a good cause, but I just don't think I'll make it.

Maybe I can stand outside the stage door and wait for him though.

Kidding...you know I loved every moment of it!

RipHer2Shreds said:

I know you're kidding.

I only remember being in a sake trance while watching it with you and your dog just sitting there the whole time staring at me.

minneapolisgenius said:

That's too bad. The Beacon is a great venue. Pretty much every seat is a good seat. Those benefit shows can be pricey. I remember tickets for the Tori Amos/RAINN benefit I went to a few years ago costing a lot more than usual at the time (Tori mention reminding me again of her to me unheard duet with Plant).

sextonseven said:

Yeah, I've heard it's a great venue. Also, there will be a lot of other performers as well as Robert, so I don't feel TOO bad about missing his bit in it I guess. I would if Jimmy and John Paul Jones were there as well.

And speaking of, both Robert and Jimmy Page are playing at Montreux this year. I totally would have gone if I hadn't booked my U.S. ticket already.

And Jeff Beck's playing at North Sea Jazz. And I live here! Right in the same city! But I'll be gone. grrr

minneapolisgenius said:

Okay, so why are you coming to NYC? Is it a dance thing or just a regular ol' vacation?

sextonseven said:

Just for a week to visit a friend who lives there.

What's with those twitchy Page stage moves?
Is that supposed to be cool or something?




Actually that was very cool.

I can see him working.

He'd come out to see you, but me.

I like his little bell-bottomed dance where he looks as if he's about to get all tangled up in the cords.

And thanks.

Now, I know you just went and ordered yourself a pair of jeans identical to Robert's. Oh, and his women's blouse as well.

minneapolisgenius said:

And the strategically placed accidental rip near the snausage.

minneapolisgenius said:

Well, I'm going to a few shows that week so feel free to show up at any one of them and shock the hell out of me:

17th: Nine Inch Nails / Bauhaus / Peaches at Jones Beach
18th: Nellie Mckay at Joe's Pub
21st: Morningwood at Warsaw
23rd: AFI at Roseland or Erase Errata at Knitting Factory. (Haven't quite decided yet. I may go to neither.)

RipHer2Shreds said:

He's got many pairs like it with patches over the snausage actually. One with doves, one with the Union Jack flag, etc.

sextonseven said:

Cool! I can't go the 17th because I'm going to see my friend's performance that night. But I'll orgnote you later. I have no idea what our plans are.


God help me I just spelled "our" as "are" edit Need to lay off the sauce

If I actually do meet you, I'll never hear the end of it from tA.

theAudience said:

woo-hoo!


And he never wore any underwear either.

Hey! I just realized that I have a blouse just like that. It's green though, but (I'm wearing it in my profile pic actually ) pretty much the very same design.
