MC: "So, What's your name young man?"
JP: "James Page Sir".
MC: "Where do you practice?"
Guitar dude: "At Jim Page's house".
Jimmy Page wanted to be a scientist - I would have never guessed:

How The West Was Won is just epic..
Are u 2 in the same age group?
Resident Loudmouth
The bands were formed 8 years apart.
I think that U2 was right out of high-school, and the fellows from LZ had played in other bands before, joining together.
Have you seen "it might get loud"? Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White are in it.

Ignorance is curable, Apathy not so much, but I don't care, I'll try anyway.

In 1977, I went to Buffalo and bought 48 tickets, and hired a bus to haul us to the concert.
Easily sold them all, and promptly blew all the profits (which came from the bus ride).
Then, during the middle of the tour, one of Plant's children died.
Tour was cancelled, and I had 47 friends chasing me down...lol.
Not all tickets were returned to Buffalo for refunds.
Those in existance are said to be worth a good buck, from collectors.
I took my ticket back to Records on Wheels for the refund. $10 in '77 was $37.38 today, after all.

I've probably still got some of their vinyl, but I find them hard to watch on HDNet's Sunday concert list for some reason.
$10 to watch L.Z live wow.
Rainbow and Deep Purple, not in the same league.
I love both groups equally. But from a guitaring standpoint, I'm a bigger fan of Blackmore's bluesy riffs. In JP's own words - "Ritchie Blackmore is a yardstick ahead of me"
You'd be surprised. A buddy of mine saved nearly every concert ticket stub from back in the day. He has HUGE frames displaying them all. I wish I had done the same.
Unfortunatly, they used to tear them in half, keep one side, and hand you back the other.
We saw Lynyrd Skynyrd for $2.00 at Massey Hall. Many, many more for less than $5.00.
There are dumbasses who actually saved all that st...........er, wait a minute.............
I've got a box full of 'em. The surprising part is the number I manged NOT to lose, all things considered.
Wow! the Butthole Surfers, that takes me back a while!
Long story-short-I played in a band in Windsor, Ont. w/ a multi-instumental fella who played tuba w/ the Butthole Surfers and he bailed on them by crawling through a bathroom window at a bus station in Detroit.
One of the earliest editions of Spin magazine called him "the most hated man in america"
Saw them a couple years later at St. Andrews in Detroit & they played tapes of sex change operations on a screen behind them-still can't shake that!
And I too have tons of ticket stubs for no good reason
there was no before....before Led ZepellinI wish I had saved my 1984 Queen concert tickets

Actually, it's footage of penis reconstructive surgery (farm accident somewhere in Texas). According to Gibby, they would run the film backwards some nights, and it would give the impression that you're seeing a sex change operation (I've seen it run both ways, and it's very convincing backwards).
No kidding, reconstructive surgery? Learn something new... Cheers

Bizarre. I don't think Page's legacy can be compared with Blackmore's. They played much different music. I will say that Deep Purple is all but obscure today, while Zep is still going strong every day on the air, after 40 years.
