Okay - get ready to freak.

I screwed up - I meant to type DGCGCD. That's right - and so are you.

That piece was recorded in G Major (the way I play it) on "Houses of the Holy", and Page would perform it in A Major in concert (the way you play it).

Your tuning is a whole step above mine, but the fingerings are identical.

ROFL ! I caught them in 1977 at a Day on the Green in Oakland , Ca . Most certainly the 70's was the best decade for rock & roll . Looking forward to the new release !

[Ben Bolt]

Thanks for the link !

There is a used book, record and tape store in Duluth, MN called "10,000 Books" that has scads of 8 tracks.
I've also seen 8 track players at the local auctions here at the Lake of the Ozarks a couple of times. They always seem to sell for $20 !!

Regardless, there have still been great, popular bands since the 1970's that people will have heard of in 50 years. That was my original point. We could quibble all day on the merits of specific bands. I think we can both agree that the world did not end in 1972.

Clapton is great. Hendrix is great, SRV is great. But Blackmore is truly the King of the Stratocaster.

If you played guitar you would never said that.

[discostu]

Definitely.

I saw these guys---I was a concert reviewer for a newspaper---back in the early 1980s. Page was so messed up that when he sat down to do his "unplugged" portion of the show, the roadies had to come over and cross his legs for him!

How that guy could play a note is beyond me, but he was OK. Live, their sound sucked---it sounded like they were in a giant garage, and Plant sang EVERYTHING an octave lower. I'd be interested to know if anyone else heard them live and if he did the same in their concerts.

[LS]

I LOVED Ritchie Blackmoor's strat work, especially on "Burn" and "Stormbringer" (with David Coverdale on vocals). Deep Purp never seemed to really put it together live, either, the way Cream did.

I saw Cream on their pre-"farewell" tour. I had never in my life seen a drummer play for 20 minutes like Ginger Baker did. The great thing about a Cream/Hendrix/Vanilla Fudge concert was that they never did the songs the same way twice, and so a concert was a real experience, not just a rehash of the studio.

[LS]

Who?

[Grando Calrissian]

Daltrey, Entwistle, Moon and Townsend.

Pb ZEP rules!

I miss those days of anticipating a new album coming out and heading over to the house of whoever bought it first to listen to both sides back to back.

When Dlyan's new album turned out to be Nashville Skyline, and the hippies were bamfoozled, I just loved it.

With the background of Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Janis, Cream, and the Beatles in the background in 1968- 72

[LurkerNoMore!]

I'm freaking out. You admitted you were that W word!

When Dlyan's new album turned out to be Nashville Skyline, and the hippies were bamfoozled, I just loved it.

My sister was a "Beatlemaniac" who got a puzzled look on her face when "Revolver" came out and decided to change her allegiance to Paul Revere and The Raiders when "Sgt. Pepper's" completely buffaloed her.

After I wore out my copy, she didn't care that I snatched hers

Yeah, Pagey battled a wee bit of a heroin problem for a few years.

[Drew68]

I'm pingin' ya' cuz your FReeper name gives ya' away!

[Senator Pardek]

and Plant sang EVERYTHING an octave lower

Not everything - but notably on "Rock and Roll", "Black Dog", and "The Song Remains The Same".

[Senator Pardek]

Awwwwww, hot dog

Well I, well I, well I just got into town today
To find my girl who's gone away
She took the Greyhound at the general store
I searched myself, I searched the town
When I finally did sit down
I find myself no wiser than before

She said we couldn't do no wrong
No other love could be so strong
She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer
Now she took my heart, she took my keys
From in my old blue dungarees
And I'll never go to Texas anymore

Now my baby's gone I don't know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure
I'm gonna give her something like she never had before

I took her love at seventeen
A little late these days it seems
But they said heaven is well worth waiting for
I took her word, I took it all
Beneath the sign that said U-Haul
She left angels hangin' round for more, ah go!

(Guitar Solo)

Well, now my baby's gone I don't know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure
I'm gonna give her something like she never had before

I thought I had it all sewn up
Our love, a plot, a pick-up truck
But folks said she was after something more
I never did quite understand
All that talk about rockin' bands
But they just rolled my doll right out the door
Ooh yeah, they just rolled my doll right out the door
Well, they just rolled my doll right out the door

Daltrey, Entwistle, Moon and Townsend.

I was glad to hear Townshend was vindicated from that little problem he found himself in a few months ago.

Nobody can destroy Gibsons quite like him!
