Jcm you should curate a suggested listening vid for zep fans that might appreciate taking next steps into holdsworth scott henderson etc Martin and brett Stine are doing great vids on holdsworth. I need to buy his book ,in the mystery
This is without doubt one of the best Plant/Zeppelin related videos I've ever watched on RU-vid. Andy shared some amazing insights and I feel like I know Robert a little better today. Was great viewing today after watching Robert at Gateshead last night, he was amazing as was his fantastic band!
Wow James, thanks so much! This was a very special program. I was both a fan and interviewer listening to Andy's magnificent storytelling. Glad you enjoyed it. You saw Robert live? SO COOL!
This is going to be awesome. Can’t wait! I love Andy’s RU-vid site and loved his stories from “A Life”. Looking forward to hearing what he has to say about touring with Robert. Cheers,Jose. ✌️
As a Zephead, your channel and the absolutely amazing content and your obvious love of the mighty Zep is now the main reason I will NEVER fail to pay my internet bill! A million thanks for the gift that is your channel, Jose! Bless you brother, Treff
Andy Edward's is a smart guy; his summation of Live Aid on his channel is brilliant. However, when he mentioned the highest expression of music is truth and love. It blew my mind to hear that. It was most enjoyable to hear first hand what it's like to gig with the legendary Robert Plant. Thanks for the video JCM, as always, your attention to detail is what sets your content above the others.
Thanks so much for your kind words and tuning in! This interview was a great experience indeed to learn from Andy's knowledge and opinions on music. If you haven't i recommend checking out my take on Zeppelin's Live 1985 performance. I do think Live Aid was a gamechanger.
Wow what a great great interview. I've learned to truly appreciate everything you've done so far. And what a treat it was to listen to not only Andy but clearly for you as well as the host. The two of you worked together very well and that was a testament of gratitude to all of us fervent fans. 👍🙏
Glad you enjoyed both perspectives and energies for this interview. It was a great learning experience for me and listening to Andy is fascinating, he has a gift for storytelling!!! Thank you so much for watching this one!
This was wonderful! News nuggets everywhere too: Jonesy actually DID leave Zep. Not just he seriously considered it. And Robert has Zep content too, it's not all stored with Jimmy. And there was a 3rd, partially finished Page-Plant album. Lots of possible threads to pull. Andy's stories gave a lot of insight into Robert's character as both a person and an artist. His alchemy is built on sponge-like absorption of new impressions which he turns into shapes, intentions, and angles. I agree with you that he's evolved much more and better after Page-Plant. Entirely different guy than in Zep. Music is indeed about love!
Yes, the Jonesy theory was a shocker. Although i knew he thought about leaving and was given some time off, reality is sessions started without him as Plant said. That confirms my perspective on Graffiti you know? The 3rd Page and Plant album was probably comprised of outtakes from Unledded. Back in Japan 1994 at the press conference Plant said they had like 9 tracks so imagine...what's still sitting in the archives. Andy's storytelling is impressive, that's one of the reasons i watch his content, he's like a college professor making a lecture on a topic, in a GOOD WAY!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories What is your perspective on Graffiti? And what do you think Zep planned to do without Jonesy? Replace him? Yeah, they did say 9 tracks were done. I always wondered what those were. Hope Andy comes back on your channel. I subscribed to his.
Hey, JCM. Once you (as myself) like 70's rock, how about a new project? In the 70's there was a band, whose guitarrist was a Spanish guy, and smashed Deep Purple from the lists. The band was NAZARETH and the guitar player was Manuel (Manny) Charlton. If you like Jimmy Page, you will like this fellow as well. Please heard the album No Mean City and I'm very sure you will develop another project about this Spanish/Scotish guitar player. The master of sustain... Just a hint. Kudos
I now understand why Robert would switch up players as he has, after not really getting it before. At the same time, as a drummer, I can understand why a player would feel slighted after the band would dispand for no apparent reason.
Hey Paul, thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed this! I was nervous before the call but IT WORKED, i was grateful to say the least. We got along and Andy's storytelling was a great!
That’s the kit Bonzo brought over the first time LZ came to America. It can be seen in the pics from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wa. ‘68. It wasn’t long however before Carmine Appice landed him the Maple-gloss Ludwig kit! This black crushed pearl kit was the one I believe used on LZ1, at Olympic. Awesome interview Jose! As usual, I noticed and loved the background music. It’s perfect! Thank you for this.
I've always wondered about that Pearl kit used on Zeppelin 1. Having left Tim Rose, Bonzo wasn't in any other band apart from Zeppelin, so was that a rented kit? Iirc, he sold his drum kit when Band of Joy broke up as he was skint, and the one with Tim Rose was rented.
I recall I was struck that Prince had used the line ''in through the outdoor'' in the song Raspberry Beret. I didn't know it was a wink to LZ's last studio album.
Wow, this is awesome! ' Cause I was a bit too leisurely Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing But different than the day before That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her She walked in through the out door, out door
I remember Andy very well, I saw him twice with the Priory of Brion in Italy (Milan and Modena). I remember like it was yesterday when he got up to ring little bells at the beginning of Darkness Darkness! great interview! next should be robbie blunt!
Oh nice you did?? So cool you say the Priory shows in Italy. It rained in Milan right? When Andy showed the bells i was like WOW!!!!! lol. Oh man, i need to track down Robbie Blunt, he is rarely on social media!
Many thanks for that interview, it was always interesting for me to dig in that part of Robert's career & learn a bit more. so many insights, nice conversation, pleasure to listen you both. also i wonder why you didn't talk about studio recordings they made, may be it's under NDA?
I fly to Kansas City , MO, twice a year to go to The Blue Room. I spend a week there just to go to hear all the bands. (best Jaz bar in USA, IMO) I sit right next to the drummer and watch his magic all night.
I recognise this great fellow for his allan holdsworth biog which was truly insightful and properly informed with spot on analysis I found myself passionately nodding to as he spoke. True great analysts in discourse.. a real treat thanks guys
Thanks to the POB, I can claim to have played at the same venue venue as Robert Plant. He may have played Madison Square Garden which I may do one day, but I played The Shed in Brierley Hill before him.
Check out Ronnie Garvin of The Stranger Band. He was close to Jimmy Page IMO. Recorded 7 studio albums. Ronnie was a friend and politics kept the Band from being as big as Led Zeppelin.
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories definitely in my free jazz top ten list! Andy’s channel is awesome! Just subscribed and I’m looking forward to a future free jazz discussion!
