More than eight hours of rare concert films and sound recordings of rock band Led Zeppelin are to be released for the first time.
Fifty-eight tracks recorded over a decade of live performances will be spread across two DVDs and three CDs.
Guitarist Jimmy Page has compiled the project from film footage and audio tapes discovered during a trawl of the archives.
The three surviving members of the group - Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones - are due to attend the world premi�re of the DVD in London next week.

See more info on www.led-zeppelin.com 
Here my questions:
1. Jimmy Page said recently during an interview that he has worked a lot with the Stones, playing on several songs... which songs ?
2. Anita Pallenberg told in an interview that Page and Plant came often to the studio, during the stay of the Stones in France. She was also talking about the bad relations between Stones and Led Zep... More info ?
Thanks  |

Umm... I know Jimmy played lead with Keith on "One Hit (To The Body)" and that John Paul Jones arranged the orchestra on "She's A Rainbow". That's about it, although there's probably more. Anyone else know?

I think there is also a remote chance that Jimmy Page may have played on some very early Stones songs. He was THE session guy in london then. He played on songs by the who, the kinks, tom jones and zillions of others. I doubt very much if the bands were enemies. Most of Led Zep 4 was recorded at Jaggers house on the mobile. The mobile was used right up to 75's Physical Graffiti. You will of course recall a song on that album is called "Boogie with Stu", starring the boss of the Stones himself. I think their was probably alot of friendly rivalry. I have read a quote once where Keith was saying that Mick was always wondering what Bowie, Elton John and Led Zep were up to to see what the current music trends were. Which, seems odd, considering the stones and led zep's music was miles apart by 1976. I'm sure Page would have taken great delight in ribbing Jagger over the success of his band. They were outselling the stones by vast amounts at one stage. And, i have read Page can be a real bastard. Very conceited. Now, i gotta say, i have always loved led zep, but i think their music has dated badly. I have posted quite a few times that i consider "In through the out door" one of the worst albums ever released by a major act. My other 3 are The WHo's "Face Dances", Kiss's "The Elder", the Doors "Soft Parade" and our boys "Dirty Work". It annoys the shit out of me with movies like Almost Famous that led zep are sort of the revered band of the 70's, and the stones are not. Fast times at Ridgemont High is another Led zep fest. And, isnt this new dvd great? It just pisses me off why our guys havent got one out yet. And, so annoyingly, its getting awfully close to 6 years between new albums. Oh, one more thing. Though it doesnt happen so much these days, why is it that books on most of the classic bands make derogatory comments on the stones?? Hendrix's book makes heaps of "Jimi broke the Stones record this night" or "Jimi lp sold more this week than the Stones". Led Zep's book is full of page after page of them "beating" the Stones in sales of tickets and lp's. The Doors book has them billed as the "U.S version of the Stones", of Jimbo going places where Jagger feared to tred, of them refusing to change the lyrics on Ed Sullivan (but the Stones did). The Police!!! Another fucking band. "in the 80's, the Police were bigger than the Rolling Stones, drawing rave reviews wherever they go and whatever they do". Arrrrrgh. It fucking bugs me to death. If some cheesy "author/fan" has to justify his bloody band by bagging mine, he can get stuffed. I mean, have you ever read a book comparing the stones tothe beatles? You have? yeah, me too. Ahh, fuck the beatles. In 1967 the Stones outsold them for 1 week in....sorry, now i'm doing it. Basically, Stones rule, advance australia fair, Vic Bitter is worlds best beer, and go St.Kilda! Phew, i'm going for a smoke. |

- STU plays in Rock and Roll and Boogie with Stu and also attended the LZ session in 1970 and 1971 Check from our STU page:
- STU also recorded with the Yardbirds with Jimmy Page in 1967 the album �Little Games�
- Jimmy is also playing at STU�s Rocket 88
- Jimmy played and recorded with the Andrew Loog Oldham Orchestra in 1964 while John Paul Jones was the musical director.
- Nicky Hopkins and Jimmy Page were bandmates in the early 60s and later in Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends, they jammed together several times
This is from our space for STU:
Led Zeppelin IV: �This track came out of a jam with The Stones� mentor Ian Stewart on Piano. Bonzo played the intro of �Good Golly Miss Molly/Keep a Knokin��, and Page added a riff. Fifteen minutes later the nucleus of R&R was done on a tape � displaying the full benefits of recording on location with the tapes ever running� From �Led Zeppelin � A Celebration� by Dave Lewis. The whole album and outtakes were recorded in the Headley Grange Studios with The Rolling Stone Mobile and Stu present.
Physical Graffiti: STU plays piano and co-writes "Boogie with Stu" which is also dedicated to him. A loose jam recorded at the same sessions that produced Rock & Roll for the 4th album. This has Ian Stewart, the Rolling Stones� tour manager and resident boogie-woogie specialist, playing barrel-house piano. Heavily based on Richie Valens� 50s hit �Ooh My Head� (check �La Bamba� movie), hence the credits to his widow. Credits for the song includes Page, Plant, Bonham, Jones, Ian Stewart and Mrs. Valens (Richie Valens Widow). |

I remember to read somewhere that according to Jimmy Page Led Zeppelin made a favor to the Stones by not touring in the States in '72 because Zeppelin could have very easily to outsell the Stones at that time; they were so much bigger. Uh, friendly competition or jealousy that kind of talk?
It seems like the Stones never been THE band of the decade ever. In the 60�s they were second to the Beatles, in the 70's they were second to Zeppelin or Pink Floyd, in the 80's they were second to? Dire Straits, Police, U2,??? But maybe it�s better toi be the second for every decade than the first for just one?

Jimmy Page does not play on ANY version of Memo from Turner. Page was hired by Oldham to play on some "Rolling Stones Orchestra" sessions, and some of those ended up on Metamorphosis: Heart of Stone, Sleepy City, I'd Much Rather Be With the Boys. In general, evertime you hear a hawaiin-like slide or solo guitar on a Metamorphosis track, it is Jimmy Page on guitar. For Dirty Work, Jimmy Page does the solo on One Hit To The Body. I have always thought that the open G tuned acoustic guitar on Downtown Suzie was also Page (it sounds too technically complicated for keith), but as it turns out it is Ry Cooder (as said by Bill Wyman).
Last: Keith has always stated he couldn't stand Led Zep -he hated the rythm's and thought Page was just a show-off.

I must admit, I don't really like Led zep, but then I haven't heard that much to give a good opinion, maybe I should listen to it sometimes.. |

Hey Mathijs or someone else, can you confirm that in the original released version of Heart of Stone the solo is played by Keith, not Jimmy Page?

And Mathijs, by the way, there is a thread for you in IORR board. You are missed there.

You're right, Jimmy is not on Memo from Turner

I think "I'd Much Rather Be With the Boys" it's not Jimmy but he's on "Each And Every Day Of The Year"

It is also John McLaughlin (Mahavishnu Orchestra), probably in more tracks than Jimmy |

No Moonisup....once your over 16, Zep loses it's appeal...I mean listening to 'Dazed and confused" when I was a highschool burnout was cool, but would anybody, with any sense of self-worth, play that crap now?
By the way Vodoo, you are still trailing me in post #'s and i expected some sort of gift for reaching 4000 posts over 2 weeks ago!!!

"Zeppelin or Pink Floyd, in the 80's they were second to? Dire Straits, Police, U2,???"
Are you fuck**g kidding me? The stones second in the eighties to Dire Straits. Give me a break. Maybe you never heard of Tattoo You or a song called "Start Me Up" that was played on all stations all day. Or maybe the Steel Wheels tour that was the most successfull tour to date for anyband? U2 wasnt the monster act they are now either and the Police barely played together, but when they did an arguement can be made....but DIre Straits? Every time I think i have heard the dumbest music comment in my life, one like this comes along and raises the bar.
Dire Straits.....good lord |

To expand on Corgi's complaint: The Stones, at least since the late '60s, have been the lodestar of rock music. We should be pleased that they're consistently touted as the benchmark for Led Zep, the Police or whoever -- that, inevitably, is a back-handed compliment.
You know the old saw that it's better to be mocked than ignored? I'm not saying the Stones are being mocked in all those comparisons; I'm saying that the Stones are the biggest game in town, and whoever's rising and falling at any given moment -- or decade, as it is -- always feels compelled to compare themselves to the Stones.
I just remembered another one to add to the list -- a claim by Lynryd Skynyrd's old drummer that at some big festival in the late 70s (Knebworth?), they "blew the Stones off the stage."
Now, whether or not that's true doesn't really matter. What matters is that he picked the Stones as his reference point -- because they're the greatest, and everyone, if only in the vaguest sense, knows it. |

corgi...In case you aren't aware of this..."Almost Famous" was a film written and directed by Cameron Crowe and it is loosely based on his youth. He did work for Rolling Stone mag and went on tour with Zep as a teenager...thus all the references to LZ in the film.
I do not understand why there is so much thinking along the lines of competition amongest all these bands. Who gives a fuck what a reviewer says or how much revenue a band can command at any point in their careers or who might of said something caustic from one band towards another? I do not follow a band for that, I follow a band for the MUSIC...period. I like a lot of the bands that have been mentioned in this thread......and do not feel the need to compare them to one another. What is the point of that, anyway? I 'd rather share in the love of the music....I don't wanna waste my time with negative chit chat.
And yes...Stones IS Stones...bar none! |
|

| sandrew |
Not to harp on revenue and album sales, pace Martha, but I've come up with a handy analogy for all this. It comes from global economics.
I'm no expert -- not even close -- but I remember reading about all the "Asian Tiger" economies of the '90s -- countries, like Singapore and China, whose annual growth rates were clocking in at like 8 or 9 percent.
Compared to the U.S. economy -- which grows an average of, say, 3 or 4 percent a year -- the Tigers looked like an unstoppable force.
Well, I compare the Tigers to whatever band happens to be hot in a given decade. Where's Led Zeppelin now? Gone, strictly a nostalgia fascination, albeit a strong one. What happened to the Asian Tigers? We had to bail them out.
Meanwhile, the U.S. keeps chugging along. The reason, economists say, is that "mature economies" don't grow as fast as those of developing countries.
That's what the Stones are, folks -- a mature economy. The kind of band that grows respectably and stably, and that's in it for the long haul.
I realize I may be talking out of my ass on this, but who cares. I've been taking too much Benedryl lately.

All versions have Jimmy Page |

The Andrew Loog Orchestra version of "Heart Of Stone" was recorded before the Stones own group version. Jimmy Page played the lead guitar solo.
According to Martin Elliots new "Complete Recording Sessions" book, Keith Richards copied Jimmy Pages guitar solo for the Stones version.
However, CS could be right. Jimmy may well of been responsible for lead guitar on the Stones version too. His session work is surrounded with mystery. He is very secretive and very rarley goes into detail concerning what he did and didn't play on.
Keiths guitar solo on the Licks Tour has so far been pretty awful.

sandrew, great post. Sort of put my mind at ease. martha, i think you miss my point. I dont compare my band to others, but it shits me that others try to justify their (often temporary) success by using MY band as a yard-stick, then trying to make out some 2 bit bar blues boogie band or post modern industrial call of the youth combo is more important than my old coots. If it all comes down to most amount of records sold, I think Abba have out sold the Beatles nearly 2 - 1. I recall that a huge selling point of Elton John in the mid 70's was his huge collection of glasses. I mean, what the fuck? We on this site love the Stones cause of the music they make and the amazing effect their live presence has on us. And hey, people have been digging our guys for nearly 41 years now. People have tried to challenge them, but always fall short. Few can forget U2 trying to out-stage them with the POPMART tour, only to discover they are not really THAT popular, and the tour really fucked up their bottom line. I still have somewhere some articles regarding the 1/2 empty stadiums, massive free ticket give aways, re-scheduled, changed and down-sized venues. ANd those paddies never charged $300+ to see them. I'm off the track a bit, so i will leave now. Love u all. |
