I was there such an incredible day, had no clue Jimmy was going to make an appearance, the crowd went absolutely bonkers when he came on!! definitely the highlight of the whole concert 👏👏
There was such a buzz and energy in 1990 with the release of the Box set, Page/Plant at Knebworth and the 40th Atlantic Show in '88 and both having solo albums that same year. A lot of us thought they would get back together then. MTV had a Zep weekend as well, playing TSRTS and various related footage and a short documentary. It was a very exciting time. I remember like it was yesterday. I was glued to the TV (MTV) and all things Zep related
What a great and exciting time it was to be a Zeppelin fan. There was a lot going on and some great magazine fan clubs at the time ….and I subscribed to all of them lol. Cheers
Same - what a time. It felt as if a reunion could have been imminent. Of course it wasn’t but we did get Page and Plant back a handful of years later thankfully.
@terrencesclassicrockcorner I still don't own it. I didn't see the reason because I had a copy of everything else on vinyl, cassette, and CD at the time. The MTV Zep weekend was AWESOME
Yeah I was a massive Led fan at the time, waited all day for the Page and Plant thing at Knebworth, was glued to the TV, but then this girl I was nuts about came over and it was all about her at that moment and I missed everything. We didn't last long and I soon regretted missing the Led thing.
JCM keeps on bringing the 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️ !!! There is no doubt that you are giving above 💯 percent of your heart to this!!! Thank you man!! It’s something I look forward to every episode!!! Cheers my friend!!
I appreciate that Gary! Thank YOU very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s. I definitely think Plant should officially release Knebworth as a single album, the performance was TIGHT to say the least!
I've heard that before, of course, everyone has. I don't believe that Robert, Jimmy, JPJ, and John Henry sat down for tea and discussed the necessity of writing a song in response to the punk movement. Their statement was made in a tiny, dank club in 1977's Covenant Garden when they, Jimmy and Robert, told Rat Scabies, Captain Sensible, and Dave Vainian how much they liked their band after sitting thru their entire set. Unless, of course, if you were privy to being in Polar Studios when or whenever they wrote Wearing And Tearing. I don't mean to sound like a heel, but those kinds of bits of info are just too broad in scope. Think deeply about it, please.
Saw them in Nashville in 98. At the end of the show ,people were shaking the seats so hard it sounded like a freight train and a tornado at the same time. I was terrified and excited at the same time. I've yet to attend a concert with that kind of reaction. I really liked Walking into Clarksdale, can't believe it wasn't more successful. Thanks for another doc JCM!!!!!
Jose thanks again for a wonderful episode of "Here's Your Life"! I totally feel as though I'm time traveling with you. The clips, commercials and dialog jars deep memories of the 90's. Some good times, some bad times. Yet we move onward with hope. Gracias!
Hey William! So cool to read your impressions! Glad it's taken you back in time and then some. Quite the research odyssey it's been hehe. The more i dig, the more i learn and take deep breaths as to how to present it!
Glad you enjoyed this style, some guy here said i was wasting his time doing this. Guess he hated Social Studies in High School. Thank you very much for watching, hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
Wearing and Tearing, in my opinion, was the type of Led Zeppelin "sound" that you would have heard a lot more of in the 1980's had the band moved forward. Jimmy and Bonzo wanted to recapture their hard edged guitar sound after In Through The Out Door, and Wearing and Tearing was their statement to punk rock that Zeppelin wasn't going away. They also played Rock and Roll at Knebworth 1990. Great performance...looking forward to this, Jose! Ernie
You right, but remember Walter's Walk was finished in 1982 and it was a little bit to the alternative side, and could be a part of the harder edge side that Jimmy and JB were talking about
@@BonzoDrummer No, Carouselambra was Carouselambra. In Through The Out Door was done, and Jimmy has stated in several interviews that Led Zeppelin was to become more guitar/drum oriented after 1980, as mentioned above. Jimmy's words, not ours.
@@tparker2095 How do we know Page would've had the final say? How did "Carouselambra" get made in the 1st place if he had creative control? Also, that synth sound was only just beginning its rise to dominate the '80s, so they would've been bucking the trend to go the opposite direction.
I think that's pretty much why the song didn't end up on Outdoor. Half the song was about Pagey's, Bonzo's, Grant's and the road crew's drug abuse in the late 70's thar caused all the division and dysfunctional in the band.
Great episode JCM. The mid-90s were hands down the best time of my life so far. I turned 18 in December 1991, started having a social life at last, got into bands in 1992 for most of the rest of the decade. Oh yes - and discovered Zeppelin, blues music and much more. It's as if Zeppelin's resurgence happened at just the right time for me as I was coming of age. I absolutely loved both Coverdale/Page and Fate of Nations, and then towards the end of the decade The Complete boxset become the proud centrepiece of my music collection. The most wonderful decade of them all
Oh man, to this day i am still looking to get the Complete Studio Recordings box set, it's the finest set they ever did. So cool you lived the 90s in full, there was a Zeppelin resurgence, that's for sure! Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Sadly I had to sell mine, but it was so beautiful! The hardcover CD jackets were so nice to hold, and great pictures inside as well.
That dual between the 2 concerts is a great achievement my friend. I dont think any youtuber thought of this artistic approach to avoid copyright and entertain the viewers in one shot. Chapeau Bas
Thank you so much man, thank you for noticing this! It was complicated to EDIT let me tell you hehe. I found it a poetic statement of Knebworth, what it represented! Thank you very much for watching. Hope you've catched Episode 3 on Coverdale Page. Stay tuned for Episode 4 on the Making of Fate of Nations!
I was born in 1984 we are both similar. I’m from Chicago and I seen Jordan win all their 6 championships on live tv. My childhood was awesome as well. I was born with The Beatles as far as I can remember.My family played them all the time.Their my favorite band. Next comes Led Zeppelin. Idk if anyone remembers a show on VH1 called Legends. They had a a lot of musical documentaries of groups. One day I seen Led Zeppelin’s episode and every song on there I loved. The only one I’ve had heard was Kashmir before. This was in the late 90s. I’ve bought the Early Days and Latter days when released. Then BBC sessions.Miss those days🤟🏼. 1990 Robert Plant looked similar to 1979 Plant.
That was such a weird period for Page and Plant, their "dancing with the media" was in full flight, they had something to say but they were so very clever at making it mysterious, and when they were together in any interviews, it was magnified......Great archvial journey, thank you!!
Yes, they did make it mysterious. Always the forefathers of word of mouth publicity in rock right? Glad you enjoyed this very special episode. Thank you very much for watching. Hope you've catched Episode 3 on Coverdale Page. Stay tuned for Episode 4 on the Making of Fate of Nations!
7:14 The best show I ever saw in my life was at the Montreal forum for THE CULT's SONIC TEMPLE tour with Jason BONHAM opening. You forgot to list it. Jason had broken his arm in an ATV accident and played with a cast. His injured arm he played on a drum pad and the other with a stick on the kit. The Rolling Stones also played Montreal that night at the Olympic Stadium for their STEEL WHEELS tour and the next night which I also attended. For THE CULT and BONHAM I had 6th row center but watched at the front row up against the metal barriers separating the crowd from the stage. My ears are still ringing! I'm suprised that you missed posting Montreal in your list. Keep up the great work, I've seen many episodes over the years and have been binging for the last 24 hours! Rock on!
Excellent as always JCM really looking forward to this journey through the 90's, so many roads... For me it was seeing knebworth 90, plant at Glastonbury 93, the Buxton alexis korner benefit concert April 94, page plant tour glastonbury, Birmingham, Sheffield 95. Manchester 98, and priory of brion 99, Was gutted the page and crowes band didn't last. Keep up the good work, much appreciated 🙏
All key moments these you mention Rick, for sure, so much to cover, i hope i manage to do it all hehe. Page and the Black Crowes was the perfect ending for the 90s, poor Jimmy you know, the more i do my research his post Zeppelin life was not easy, despite many who think being a millionaire solves all your problems, no, they are humans still!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories yes Jimmy is not some kind of immortal god like what some people think, we have heard the stories about back trouble and arthritis he owes the fans nothing, mission accomplished leave him to his very well deserved retirement. I forgot to mention i also seen JPJ zooma tour in Manchester Nov '99. Personally for me the finest musical statement post zeppelin, jonesy the ever reliable genius.
I'm a *huge* Led Zep fan, and have been since Led Zeppelin I - I bought that album and played it non-stop. I had tickets to see them on that fateful tour and didn't get the chance when Plant's son died. I was gutted when Bonham died. I eagerly awaited all of Plant's solo releases and played them endlessly. This series is a wonderful retrospective, so thank you JCM, for all the time, effort, sweat and editing! Have said all that, I do have a problem with Plant's mind-set of not wanting to tour as "Led Zeppelin" with Jason on drums. He claims that LZ is over and done and doesn't want to revisit that, and that he's on to new and interesting and exciting stuff. (I do admire his integrity as he (and the others) could make a metric @$$load of money if they did tour.) My problem with him is that, he talks the talk, but doesn't walk the walk - he has ALWAYS made LZ tunes a significant part of his repertoire. Maybe fewer songs of late, but even touring with Allison Krause, they are there. Check out setlist.fm for the evidence.
Wow you had tickets for the 1980 US Tour, i can't imagine the feeling back then. I am honored that you are watching these episodes. Your thoughts on Plant i share some to say the least, i hope the 90s series helps to answer some of these questions, i am researching his career IN DEPTH. It's a treat and sometimes not, to revisit his shows, go through the entire set and analyze the perfromances. I must say 1990 is my least favorite Live year of his. 1983 Still tops the list. As we will see though, he was right about some of his decisions in the 90s hehe. Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
Vai was really untouchable in 1990. This is the image i have of him thus why i skipped his show in my country recently. His current material i dont like that much and he was my hero trust me.
Nice, where you excited by the Zepp numbers Plant played on his 1990 set? So cool that you saw them! Doug Boyle was a killer guitar player. Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Yes the Zep tunes sounded incredible that night, I saw him at Riverbend in Cincinnati in July 1990. In particular Nobody's Fault But Mine and No Quarter were outstanding, when he played Going To California the crowd sang every line so loud. Off the new album at the time I really enjoyed Tie Dye On The Highway, I thought it translated well live. One I wish he played was I Cried, incredible song, I consider it a 90s Over The Hills And Far Away. Wearing And Tearing kicked ass that night, we were so glad to hear it. Look forward to the rest of the 90s episodes.
In Madrid, 1990, they were a bit of a disappointment. The band sound was too processed, too compressed, too artificial, too planned, and the musicians looked quite far from the material. Plant was boringly using echo all over the place, and still unable to coordinate at least two dancing steps apart from his posture gimmicks. Difficult to defend, sorry. It made me think that Plant should have stopped, set back and spend a few years with LZ doing studio records instead of touring (healthier, and musically more daunting), rather than rushing ahead for the dollars.
First time I saw Robert live was 1990 in Hartford. Awesome. I really like the Manic Nirvana album. And he played my favorite Zep tune (at that time 😅) Going to California
Manic Nirvana translate very well on stage, Plant definitely had that on mind when recording this one. Thank you so much for watching! Stay tuned for Episode 2 :)
Great installment Jose. As I was a bit distracted by graduating university, getting married and starting my career in a terrible job market in this period, I was not very tuned into the comings and goings of the surviving Led Zeppelin members but this series looks like it will fill in a lot of those missed moments for me...thanks!
I am so glad this series will do that, fill in the gaps and my respects to you for building your life back then, it makes me put into perspective the world around us for sure. Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
If you watch the boots of Page's Outrider tour, you will see he is healthy and back in playing shape. You can imagine Zeppelin touring and still tearing it up.
He was healthy by the Outrider Tour came yes, but physically he was still dragging the 80s confusion and depression. I love his 1988 renditions of In My Time of Dying, by 1990 he managed to get his mindset in the right mood too, lots of treasures Jimmy gave us in the 90s :) Thank you so much for watching!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Thanks for the docs. I really enjoy them. Have you heard the Ibiza show in 86? Called safe sex or something. One song is an original and his solo is really classic Jimmy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SyRKWKjZJgs.html
I'never heard this one. Just wow!!!! This is quite a RARE one. Wondered why Jason was there with Jimmy since they where still 2 years apart from Outrider. Thank you very much for sharing this!
Along with Darlene and Ozone baby! Just like The Rover, Houses of the Holy, Black Country Woman should've been on Houses of the Holy. Night Flight and Boogie with Stu should've been Zeppelin 4.😊
@dylanwatson1287 disagree man. PHYSICAL GRAFFITI was great because of all those songs. Wouldn't change a thing and that album would not be what it is without those tracks. I think you are wrong about that one
That is thought provoking for sure! The tricky part is how to adjust the running order with such an explosive tune hehe. Thank you very much for watching, stay tuned for Episode 2.
Yet another beautifully curated documentary served up with a large dose of professionalism and spectacular intelligence. Is there no end to this man’s talents?Documentary and beyond! Once more Jose proves himself every inch the consummate pro, he ventures so naturally beyond his core subject where others fear to tread. Aligning events of his own life while framing his subject matter so deftly within the fabric of world events in which his topic sits. This gives us a three pronged assault which serves the ailing memories of his elders while contextualising his subject matter to accommodate those younger fans perhaps unborn, but at least, too culturally immature to appreciate a music laying in wait for them on their road ahead. Most RU-vid broadcasters know (or should know) their topic intimately. Jose knows his and then some, label him as just another RU-vidr at your peril! This guys material demands recognition way beyond RU-vid. As for the world of the professionals who document the times we live in, well they would be foolish not to welcome him into their brotherhood. Here once again we find our man doing what we all must do; find and take up our place in life by tailoring this where possible with a cocktail of our passions and skills. We all need to keep a roof over our heads that’s for sure. But beyond this though Jose labours not for kudos or praise but a desire to serve and commune with his brothers and sisters within the Zeppelin fraternity with a forensic knowledge and the same burning passion he shares with his followers. And all this brought expertly into focus in a tapestry majestically woven with a technical mastery and artistic magic second to none. The rest show and tell but a JCM doc allows him to … take you there.
Hi Paul, i was moved and humbled by your comment, i have no words possible to thank you for your energy. You've made my day and months as i embark on this mission full time, God Bless You and may you prosper triple time in your life, the power of music is the community we build together and i am honored to have you be a part of this project, a labor of love and appreciation for the modern masters of music never to be repeated!
JCM, thank you for doing this series, this first episode fits right in with the excellent, in-depth coverage you've given to the other time periods. I first started paying attention to popular music around 1988, once I was in the 7th grade, but by 1990 my tastes were just starting to really develop. I hadn't discovered Led Zeppelin yet, but that was the year that I discovered Aerosmith. Discovering them first is probably what led me to discover and fall in love with Led Zeppelin. The next year I would journey a bit closer to Led Zeppelin territory, but wasn't really there yet. Man, I can tell this series is really going to bring back some memories.
Great thing to discover Aerosmith and then Zeppelin, it works definitely, go for the source after a variation of it. Hope this brings back many memories for sure! Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
Man... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE "Manic Nirvana"!!! I'm still looking for Robert Plant's Knebworth show, but nobody haven't post it the entire show here on RU-vid. ("Hurting Kind" And "Tie Dye On the Highway" are my favorites from the album) 1987, the year my older brother was born too. I was born in 1995... Can't wait for episode 2!!!
I had the full show on mp3, i will look in my archives, used to listen to it 24/7 back in 2009. Thing is, Robert's solo work is heavily copyrighted and THIS show for some reason, is something he protects very much. They need to release it officially. You were born in 1995? That's so cool to know a younger generation is into Zepp! We are Millennials!
That version was awesome, such a great WHAT IF, i bet if Zeppelin carried on...they would have been there in 1990 with Bonzo delivering a masterclass in drumming. Glad you enjoyed this very special episode. Thank you very much for watching. Stay tuned for Episode 4 on the Making of Fate of Nations!
Great video Sir, as usual! The 90s were very important for LZ on their way to the reunion show 2007. I think the performance with Aerosmith was by then their best reunion performance. They fit really well together. Thank you for the content!
Great point! Aerosmith's energy really helped Jimmy and them to feel confident revisiting the past. 1990 was a good start for their Post Zeppelin 90s. Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2!
Outstanding episode! Excellent content and well done! ❤. Jimmy was a lot tighter and solid in the 90s. When Unleaded came out, it was like the moon landing and Christmas morning for me. I was counting down the days. I’ll never forget it. Can’t wait to see how you cover this Jose!!!😊
Matt, you are absolutely right, Jimmy was back in action after quite a crazy and almost fatal 80s run. I am counting the script pages till Unledded, there is so much to say about that record and broadcast, a Zeppelin milestone, no matter what they say.
Man..I do believe your videos could make any non zep fan a super fan..I’m seriously impressed at thr quality an research of all Your videos, they just get better and better!! Thanks man, always waiting for next one, like everyone else
Thank you very much for watching Dan! Editing this one was quite an adventure, so much to cover hahahah. Stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
Thank you very much for watching Jeff, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s. Page was all over the place as guest! He had fun right? Glad you see him back in action!
Glad you like them! Thank you very much for watching. Hope you've catched Episode 3 on Coverdale Page. Stay tuned for Episode 4 on the Making of Fate of Nations!
Thanks! 😃 Knebworth 1990 with John Paul Jones would have been perfect right? What do you think about Chris Blackwell's kit? Hope you are doing well Brian!
This whole Robert Plant 1990 Knebworth footage needs remastering. I know Plant probably couldn't care less about it now, but in the future the Plant estate should consider an official release as it's really historic footage.
Yes, this should be a single release, absolutely. The band played a great show, he had fun and his voice was quite powerful that day. Wish they call it 11 Years Gone or maybe....PLANTWORTH? hehe. Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
You covered this really well JCM. Some interviews I never heard before. I was lucky to see Plant twice on the 1990 tour at Rosemont IL and Alpine Valley East Troy WI. Also Bonham at Alpine Valley and with the Cult in Chicago. I was all in what great shows the 90s the Led Zeppelin vibe was strong !!! On the other side ...Its great to know you were a Chicago Bulls fan. Let me tell you it was a magical time to be a Bulls fan in the 90s here in Chicago. Going to a few games it was just awesome to watch that team play especially 23 it was a golden era. If you need any pictures of records, tickets, or anything else I can offer just reach out to me anytime. Great job looking forward to the next one. cheers, VK
You watched Michael himself play....wow...just wow. Man, Chicago must have been vibrant everytime they played. How was Robert's 1990 show? The band was really tight right? You can feel it on the recordings.
I was just happy to see them on both tours in 1995 and 1998. They still had their spark. Its a shame that JPJ wasn’t there. But I would definitely love to go back to that time.
Also every time they were asked the tough question like "where is Jonesy?" or "will there be a reunion?" he and Jimmy get rude and turn on a legit question.
When Robert said "...A BIT", cracked me up. Tortelvis had the phone call of his life you bet! Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
I think Plants first two solo albums are by far his best solo work. While it wasn't something ground shaking as his prior group. It was for much of it. His attempt at Mature Rock and it works very well. Sadly he tried to recapture his youth with his next several solo albums and never came back too the style.
My first C.D was Led Zepplin ~ remasters. I remember buying Manic Nirvana on Vinyl, and thinking, "This IS Zepplin for the 90's!" My favourite track from that record is ~ 'Anniversary '. I saw Jimmy Page with Aerosmith in 1990 at Donnington Park MoR, they played, 'Train kept A'rollin'.
Anniversary is probably the best track from that record, for sure. You saw JImmy WOW, where you surprised? That's awesome! Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories very surprised to see Jimmy Page!! I was 19, and Donnington was the second gig I'd been to at the time. I think Jimmy also sold Boleskine House around that time too. He bought it during the seventies, but hardly spent any time there, (apparently) I can't imagine that someone that interested in Alistair Crowley, they bought his house, wouldn't use it. 🤔
Hi Jose! We're almost the same age (I was born in 1986) it's interesting to hear your opinion on things from the 90s. Interesting you quote Santana, I was born and raised listening to the best music thanks to my dad and my uncle, both were crazy about Zeppelin but they knew how to value all genres so we listened to everything, rock, blues, classical music, reggae, even samba and bossa nova (I lived in Brazil and Peru when I was a kid). I love the songs from the first Santana albums, I've always been in love with percussion instruments and Latin rhythms. There are some hardcore Zepp fans who read my comments and think Jimmy is my idol but they are wrong. Jimmy has always been my crush and my most beloved guitarist but my idol is John Bonham 😅 my mom says I sounded like a possessed dervish when I listened to Zepp, even before I was out of diapers, because of the drums 😂 I loved this episode, you made me stop take a moment and think about what our lives would be like without technology, without the internet and consequently, without RU-vid, without videos, and also without the silly things that many do for views 🙄 the next time I go to Tokyo to visit my parents, I'll remember to listen to the old ones and precious albums, hundreds of albums lovingly guarded by them. Thank you for this excellent episode about the Golden God, the British Lion of my childhood, Robert Plant. Take care, see ya 😊
Hi Marcia! Yeah we are Millennials it seems hehe! Santana was pivotal in my music appreciation process, although he maybe changed too much towards the Supernatural formula, we can't deny his Legacy of work, his guitar SPEAKS! You are right on the precious moments with our loved ones and the albums too, the live offline is a very special place to be. Take Care!
JCM, I was 🎶 to your guitar work the other night. Let me tell you, you give Lenny Breau the running for anything, you are that good, keep it up. Rush fan here.
Wow that's so cool! We have a similar mustache maybe that's a start? hehe. Thank you very much for watching John, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
I will check them out, hey cool user name, you are into Carlos' solo albums i assume? They are underrated treasures! Hope you enjoy the 1990s Post Led Zeppelin series, we are down to Episode 6!
I feel there was a shift around 1975-76 in Plants attitude and he resented Jimmy with a good dose of jealousy sprinkled through. He was quite an ass after that. Until 94 then probably like you said he didn't know where to head musically, along comes the reunion with Page.
Yeah, Plant took it personally, to great extents. MONEY talked that's for sure, and as we will see, working with Jimmy in 1994 was really...destiny and GOOD management hehe. Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
We are getting to the black crowes !!! I want to hear your take on this. I read their drummers book and ive heard this and that. Curious where you stand, because Jimmy was 100% in and all of a sudden literally over night he was out.
I remember listening to Dread Zeppelin while enjoying Real honey oil with some friends. Another thing, I've heard the story that in '73, not long after Nixon had created the DEA, he had Elvis to the WH to thank him for what he called EP's stand against drugs!!! And Nixon gave him a DEA badge and made him an Honorary Agent. 2 or 3 days later, Elvis went backstage at an LZ concert to meet them and thank them for covering That's Alright Mama, and to show them what Nixon had gave him. Then they all laughed and snorted big rails of cocaine. Hahahahahahah!!!!!!! LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
Poor JPJ. He seems like such a soft spoken sweet genuine person. And besides Page, John Paul Jones has to be the backbone to Zeppelin. He’s definitely without a doubt a Genius! Without him no Zeppelin as we know it imo. Kinda like Faith no More without Roddy(keyboards),would be just another punk/thrash band if you ask me.
Geniuses are usually battiling life's ways and roads, Jones certainly stayed true to himself and for me, the best musician in Led Zeppelin. Thank you for watching!
Hi Jose! Excellent compilation here…as I vividly remember many of these events. The nineties truly was the last great decade. The events of 911 set us on a path of fear like no other event ever has with much of it still felt today. I blame “governments” for this. They use the public like a pawn in a chess match. Always did. People don’t want war or to fight and argue but governments do. Enough of that. What sticks out huge here is that 1987 Whitesnake record. John Sykes on guitar was simply untouchable. His Crying In The Rain solo was a real jaw dropper. Later, Steve Vai’s Sailing Ships opus was equally impressive I thought. I remember you mentioning Alcatraz, his initial big band. You might think of covering that album for us one day. Robert can slam David all he wanted….there was absolutely no denying his vocal abilities from ‘74-‘94. Don Henley’s The End Of The Innocence comes to mind here for me. He’s spot on with his lyrical content. He could see what was coming. A world that’s stripped down - neutralized, sterilized and corporatized. It’s as bad as ever today too. Looking forward to episode two. Once again, the background soundtrack here is as equally impressive to me as the compiled footage. Thank you once more my friend.
Man, Tino Sanchez, how are YA!! John Sykes was killer player, what happened with him is a goddamn shame, not sure who to believe Coverdale's reasons you know? I wanna do a Alcatrazz for sure, that is on the list. Robert's bashing of David is fascinating, i agree. Don Henley's track was spot on, unfortunately, the themes are relevant to this day. Thank YOU very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
Hi Jose. As usual, your content is accurately researched and neatly compiled. I love watching your videos! I have the easy part man! I brew endless cups of mud and hit play to let the good times roll. I wanted to mention that I’m sorry to hear you were let go from you position at work. It sucks but I suppose now you can concentrate more on the things you really love to do. I’m retired after 32 years of service at the DPW. I miss it man....I really do! I miss my crew and all the OT call outs. Yeah it could be inconvenient but it paid my Fender Bass habit! Did George happen to direct you towards the video clips from the Zeppelin gig I did?
George mentioned them Yes! Could you send them to jcm1129films@gmail.com ? This way we can reach out as well. THE Fender Bass Habit had me chucking. We miss coworkers for sure, i will make the most out of this new chapter thats for sure. Stay tuned man!
Oh yes Mustang, this topic WILL BE there, Fate of Nations is a musically diverse album in the best way possible, i admire his courage. Thank you very much for watching, stay tuned for Episode 2.
At an awards show Plant was asked, "Where's John Paul Jones?" and Plant said, "Jones is parking the car." That's very dry British humor but I'm pretty sure I thought it was funnier than John Paul Jones ever did.
Poor John Paul Jones, i know a thing or two about dry humor, but man, the parking car joke was too much hehe. Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
The music artists of the early 90's wanted to get away with what they thought was overproduced music of the 80's. Grunge acts, and other groups went "unplugged" , a return to stripped-down rock and roll (no keyboards or synthesizers ). Some of the artists that went unplugged produced music that was palatable to many people. But, Grunge, well, not all the bands were bad, but after a while, people wanted to hear uplifting songs or songs with great hooks. Grunge, personally, the style of clothing, especially, was depressing. And after the death of Kurt Cobain, and the break-up of Sound Garden, Grunge took a backseat, if not, slowly disappeared from the mainstream airwaves. Okay, I will admit, I grew up in the 1980's and have a bias for music from that era. But, Pearl Jam, Sound Garden, and the Cranberries, produced great music in the 90's.
You hit the nail on the head, Grunge was depressing, in the sense that it had to destroy the overproduced vibes of the 80s. It was a change, and in some ways, quite TOUGH. Rebellion was soul searching and it had a dark vibe to it, but then it evolved, late 90s stuff have a redemption quality to it. Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
Saw them a few times on the Page and Plant 95’ tour. I was 15 heavily into LZ. It was great but It would’ve been better if they included JPJ. I remember everyone kinda scratching their heads at that one
We're basically the same age, I saw them in June 1998 just a few weeks after my 19th birthday. Looking back, I don't remember if it really crossed my mind much why JPJ wasn't there. I certainly wish he'd been, but I wasn't even online yet in 1998, I guess I just wasn't exposed to what today would be endlessly discussed online. I probably thought it would have been too close to a full reunion and I thought hell would freeze over before that happened.
JPJ was definitely a great idea in 1998 the more i look into it, i liked the 1995 set list for sure. So cool you saw them Tyler, i bet it was loud! Thank you very much for watching, stay tuned for Episode 2.
Nice work as always my friend. Enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next part. Was an interesting walk down memory lane for me thinking about 1990. Gosh, i really couldn't stand the popular rock of that time. The radio was awful. Just hairband after hairband. There was a real cool, fun and experimental underground scene happening tho that I was kinda tuned into. A year later, a lot of those artists were mainstream, and for the next several years, I enjoyed the crap out of the radio. So much interesting music was being made. I'm sure that it has as much to do with my age (graduated high school in 91) as it does the music. But I'll take it. Catch ya on the next one!
Hey Dave! Nice to read you. Radio 1990 was weird, yeah, i went thru billboard charts and all, what a post-apocalypse feeling it had. Now, as far as experimental Rock goes, the 90s produced the BEST material, like...Mr Bungle!!!!! Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Mr Bungle! I was never into that band too much, although I remember a lot of my friends at Berklee really liked those guys. And yeah man, 90s really was a fantastic time for music. For a few years there, anything goes! Also, I'll be here watching whatever you put together.....I ain't gonna miss anything!
Great stuff Jose as usual. I saw Percy 5 times during the Eighties, first time in Brighton in 83, Principal of Moments,when he wanted to be Phil Collins, it was ok but the audience felt cheated with the lack of Zeppelin material. I saw him with the Honey Drippers, which was his impression of the Rod Stewart American song book. Again no Zeppelin numbers and a bit too bland for me. Now and Zen was a bit better, though I felt he tried too hard to create a sound that others were doing it better. The Cult had just released Electric which was so Zeppelin orientated, the Mission with JPJ also gave a healthy nod towards where Plant had been. Page came on at Hammersmith on that tour and got a massive ovation which probably pissed Plant off! Though Outrider was a massive disappointment, it just did not work. Jimmy played ok, but well below his Zeppelin days. I think they both struggled in the Eighties, there were much better bands than them about, as with Deep Purple the new kids on the block had more about them than a pair of 40 somethings that could not create anything near what they had done in the 70’s…..unless Big Log floats you’re boat! Agree Knebworth 1990 was the best they had achieved in a decade live, but still no JPJ’s???
Paul i agree on all your points, absolutely. You know, imagine had Plant played Zeppelin in 83...with Collins and Blunt on guitar. You are right on The Cult and The Mission's sound close to Zepp, such great bands. The Eighties were rough indeed. If only Jonesy was there at Knebworth 1990 but you know hehe. Hope you enjoy Episode 2! Thank you for watching!
He has a very interesting story too, thing is, not to use his biography as basis, as we know the Zepp's hated it right? Thank you very much for watching the first episode of the series, hope you enjoy the rest!
We could speculate on this for sure, Doug really brought jazz fusion chops to Robert's color palette, i think he did a very fine job there. Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
Was That C.C. Deville Saying That Everyone Stopped Playing Because He Showed Up ? Jimmy Page Is A Proper English Man Of Course He Stopped Playing He Has Respect. BTW I Can Outplay Deville Any Day. He May Be Good Now In 2023, But Look His Playing In The 80's When They Had Their Day. He Sucked And Was Tossed Out Of The Band. Why Even Include Him In This Video ?
Another Great one I missed this one I was out of town CC from Poison is not someone I ever liked quite a douchebag if you ask me . Jimmy Page is a MASTER of the guitar .... CC can play his bs Solo's and think it's great . It's trash !! Jimmy is the Riff Master . Maniac Nirvana was a great Plant Album probably my favorite TBH. ZEP IT UP !!!
1990 certainly was a time of high hopes for us serious Led Heads, to the point of Unledded and Walking to Clarksdale were kind of pale versions of what fans truly wanted.
Pale versions, wow, let me write this down, i may use it, can i ? :) , this is a profound statement Gary! Thank you very much for watching, stay tuned for Episode 2.
Plant = BY FAAAAAAAR my least favorite member of Zeppelin. Not because of his voice, but because of WHO HE IS as a person. If he could throw the other 3 under the bus and somehow take full credit for LZ he’d do it in an instant. He’s definitely the least important of the 4. Despite what he seems to believe. (That he’s #1). I can’t hardly stand to hear him talk anymore, much less sing with that nasally excuse for a voice he’s got left. ✋🏽🎤💥💨
A complicated man in the Post Zepp world for sure. Hopefully the rest of the series will shed some light on the bad AND good things about his character. Trust me, i understand what you mean :) Thank you very much for watching, stick around for Episode 2 of Led Zeppelin 1990s
Wearing and Tearing was meant to be simple and repetitive, it was a tongue in cheek answer to the Punk movement by Zeppelin. They considered releasing it under an alias band name.
This theory does make sense! Thank you very much for watching. Hope you've catched Episode 3 on Coverdale Page. Stay tuned for Episode 4 on the Making of Fate of Nations!
