Seriously, how actually beneficial has it been for the Stones to continue being the Rolling Stones?

Personally I think its more of a dick move to essentially say "I'll never go out again unless its with Zeppelin" but hey its his prerogative.

I still think though that even a small Zep tour would (or 'could) be very exciting, and bring a lot of joy to a lot of (lucky) people. And heck - Plant might even enjoy it. Assuming they could pull it off. Seems like we'll never know. What Is and What Will Never Be...
No, definitely not. And they've given plenty of value for money.Quote

Well they kept it fairly "clean" and they certainly didn't turn into the "British Kiss". Yeah they work for money but I don't think the Stones steal our money.

Really hoping there's some concerts and I'm lucky enough to be there. Personally I believe they still got the chops, though it wouldn't be on the level of say 1973.

Jimmy's playing was stellar in '73, you gotta admit.

I remember seeing The Song Remains the Same in the theaters when it was released, and needless to say I was mesmerized. It was a double feature, and Alice Coopers Welcome to My Nightmare was up first.
Back then I didn't have any bootlegs of Zep (my older bro might have), so what I saw was what I got. Also listened religiously to the soundtrack album - the live version of No Quarter and the smokin' solo still blows me away.
Since then there's been so much more to listen to as far as live shows (boots and official releases), but that one will always have a place in my heart. I remember first hearing Live at Earls Court '75 and was ecstatic to hear the tunes from Physical Graffiti. My favorite Zeppelin album etched in my brain, and now I was able to hear some of it played live!

'73, really? I've seen them in 70 (2 different tours), 71, 72, 73, 75 and 77 (18 times in all) and IMHO '73 was the worst, mainly because Robert's voice crossed over and he was still figuring out how to deal with it. To this day I can't figure out why they made TSRTS using '73 footage.

What Makes John Bonham Such a Good Drummer?
[www.youtube.com]
Very excellent short docu.
(They use Stones "Satisfaction" drum-beat as a comparison along the way here too).
At about 1:55.

Good comment Roller. I'm not privvy to much tech info; and your characterization of Bonham is revealing for me too,
as I don't know much about his personal life, but am interested. Sounds Pre-Historic from your descriptions.
He DID have a most excellent Caveman beard.
This old docu, at least for me, helped me more into 'understanding' wtf he was doin' when they related it to Buddy Rich
and those insane guys from the pre-Rock era, just whipping the shit out of their kits.
For example Buddy could play a roll with ONE stick, doing All kindsa other stuff with his other hand and two feet....
Bonzo gets the Moonie Award, or Ginger Baker Award, or something, in these regards. Mitch Mitchell Award would maybe be appropriate as well.
Guys who blew out of 'rock' or 'jazz' or 'jazz-rock' 'progressive rock' definitions and just sorta exploded with pieces of all kinds of influences bleeding into their styles.
All these guys had originality and incredible powers going for them. Bonzo was a one-off, I keep thinking the more I re-visit his very consistent and amazing live work.
lol, I didn' know he could hardly read English, never mind Music. lol, unlike JPJ, who seems Professorial, in a good way, to me.
You make him sound like a bleedin' Caveman. I guess probs the Bio stories would bear this out.
I've been re-visiting a lot of their filmed concerts lately; and it's re-awakened me to their impact and stoked interest in their history.
Hope you get to talk with them!! You have excellent informed perspective they'll relate and respond to. Cheers.

LED ZEPPELIN's Live Album 'How The West Was Won' To Be Reissued With New Remastering Supervised By JIMMY PAGE

So NOW Page is remastering a live album that was only released 15 years ago. Talk about being stuck in the mud.

Yeah, I mean, as I've said many times, Zeppelin's catalog deserves to be curated with care, but this seems excessive even for Page.Quote

Wow, thats beyond retarded. I adore that album, but it sounds fine. I don't think there's literally anything you can do to it to make it sound "better", and thats really a credit to them 15 years ago. But if thats not an example of literally finding anything related to Zeppelin to work on besides solo work or a new collaboration then I don't know what is. The Song Remains The Same at least actually warranted it because it was a hatchet job when released and became a worthwhile release by going back to it. This is just a horrendous time waster. Thankfully it doesn't look like he's adding any bonus tracks to it to try and entice people, which almost makes the release even stupider but at least its more transparent.
Oh, it's cool stuff, no doubt. I guess I should just appreciate it but it just feels Page is doing everything possible to avoid performing or writing.Quote

Ooohh nice - looks like there will be lots of new extras, and also be available on vinyl and blu-ray.
"Details of additional LED ZEPPELIN 50th-anniversary releases and events will be announced later this year".
Looking forward to more!
Also the remastered soundtrack and video of The Song Remains The Same also included live songs cut from the movie and album , so that way the listener / viewer gets a more complete representation of the actual live concert that the release was culled from which I most certainly appreciate .Also some alternate takes from different nights at the Garden are also included .What I wish for from Mr. Page is more complete live shows to be released in multiple formats including complete video of live concerts sort of like the from the Vaults series that the Rolling Stones bless us with .Quote
