A great voice ...... Wasn't he offered the Led Zep gig ?
I'd love to hear the 69 show.

Hi all. Must admit I am not very savvy about using this forum. Is there a way to contact VideoJames directly concerning this 1969 recording? There is nothing like this in existence available to the public, as far as I know. How does one reach out to VideoJames?
And while I am here, I'd love to locate any photos of Terry from the 1969 tour, especially Boston where I first saw him perform. Give me a shout if you have photos.

Great singer, likes a drink now and then. Heres a funny thing- I read an interview with Terry late 1990's/early 2000's where he says he was never actually asked (and so didnt turn them down). According to Terry, Jimmy Page was "asking around" and found out that Terry was contractually locked into a solo career managed by Mickie Most. To promote Terry and get some coverage, Mickie Most came up with the "Singer Who Turned Down Led Zeppelin" angle.
So I went to Google to run down that interview provide a link - and the first half dozen I glance at are Terry going along with/not denying the whole urban legend. If i run across it, I'll post it.

From Jimmy Page's social media page, October 2, 2020: "On this day in 1966, The Yardbirds played at the Ipswich Gaumont Theatre on The Rolling Stones tour. This was the first time I got to hear Terry Reid who was singing with Peter Jay and the New Jaywalkers. He had an impressive gutsy delivery for a 16 year old and he made a marked impression on me. When The Yardbirds folded in July 1968, he was the first person that sprung to mind."
