I agree the day of a "Rock movie" doing any business is long past. That said, in '03 when Zeppelin released Led Zeppelin DVD they had a one time only showing at select theaters in Manhattan. It was about 90 minutes or so of the DVD and the theaters that showed it had 2 shows something like 7:30 and 10:00. Anyway, I strolled up to one of the theaters at about 7:15 and........SO

That is interesting about Blushing Brides. Saw them once, in the '80s at Great Adventure in NJ, of all places. It was actually kind of cool. Blushing Brides played about a set and then they showed Ladies and Gentlemen on a HUGE screen. It was the first time I saw the movie and it solidified Mick Taylor as one of my all-time guitar gods. Blushing Brides, I remember being very very good and

Very good point about the drummer following the guitar player. The worst is bands that play the open G songs in std tuning. Used to be a Canadian band called Blushing Brides that was very good. This was yrs ago.

I have Lacerated, which I am positive is from the original King Biscuit Four Hour broadcast---the reason their is no Star Star and the reason there is a couple of edits on Mick's Profanity. Funnily enough, they missed others, most notably a very clear one at the end of Brown Sugar.

Thank you Mathijs--always wanted to know precisely how that worked--makes total sense. And,I agree, the guitar tones on the '78 tour were the best. One of the reasons I much prefer '78 to '81, cause the guitar sounds are pretty different---too much effects in '81, less crunch, not as aggressive a sound.

Question, Mathijs--when you say "slaved" through another amp, what does that mean--is one amp running as a sort of pre-amp to another or is it something else? Always wondered about this... Was the Ampeg SVT a bass amp?

That sounds about right--certainly Keith used Boogies in the late seventies. Listened to Handsome Girls last nite--the tone on that boot is just about the coolest guitar tone ever. Slightly overdriven, great sustain, but still clean enough to hear individual notes. I agree with the person in a different post who wrote that they preferred the sound in '72 to the sound in '73.

I am not sure it was the touring as much as the flying associated with touring. His current tours, I am guessing, do not involve any flying. The band however, has simply not sounded the same since he left and the change is not for the better.

There is also a song on here, which I consider one of the GREATEST boots ever that is clearly from NY. Love this one--heavy rotation kind of disc.

This is truly great news---new '78--very nice to come from after a long day. 2 questions from reading this thread: How was it determined what songs on Handsome Girls came from which shows? Does the cover specify--mine did not. I mean some are obvious--Just My Imagination is from Detroit and Honky Tonk Women sure seems like it is from Memphis. And, Gazza--when you say Out On Bail is

Gee Nik, I didn't see that movie, but I did read the book and I am having a difficult time recalling any tear-inducing moments. I did think the book was pretty funny in a "chick-lit" kind of way. As for the lyrics--I was thinking Some Girls era--though I thought the lyrics for Undercover were pretty cool.

Mongoose--according to "Led Zeppelin--A Concert File" The show preceeding Greensboro (St Louis) was cancelled due to Plant having the flu.

Absolutely---any Stones fan worth their salt, would not be deterred from getting an official release simply because they had the boot---Page has always cited to that when discussing Zeppelin fans who had boots of things that were later made into "official" releases.
