    Interesting. I think I read about something like this in the "Hammer of the Gods" book. Nice to see it get a release and nice to see a "new" release from Jimmy Page.

    I can't believe I only just found this thread :shock:
    I wanted to name my daughter Kashmir when she was born in 1988, I was out-numbered.

    Had tickets for them when Bonham died, I think it was the first time I ever saw my brother cry :(
    We've seen Plant, alone, Page with The Firm (OMG, Pages' bow solo!!!!!!) & Page & Plant.
    Nothing would of equaled seeing them in 1980 at the Silverdome with 70,000 other awestruck fans.

    Greatest band thats ever existed. I was lucky enough to see Robert, Jimmy, JPJ and Jason at the O2 in London in 2007 and it was without doubt a highlight of my life so far. Jimmy was absolutely on fire. Its a shame he now seems pretty much 100% retired, playing-wise.

    Edit: Just adding this link from the O2 show. Great quality.

    Those o2 videos tear me up... still so gutted I didn't get lucky :* Jimmy sounds absolutely incredible there, I wish he would just do something, anything, so people can see him play again. I could sit and watch him just play this for 2 hours:

    OMG, how lucky!! We were so hoping for at least a small NA tour. :( My brother learned to play bass guitar from only listening to Zeppelin on his record player. Such a huge part of my teenage years. I remember when I first heard Ten, Master/Slave into pure magic & I thought, "FINALLY!!!" :D

    I was 15, but the rest is truth.

    PJ isn't even in the conversation of bands that can compete with Zeppelin and they've been my #2 for about as long as Zeppelin has reigned.

    There really needs to be a DVD and CD release of that O2 show--especially since it seems like there won't ever be a reunion tour unless Plant has a change of heart.

    Had to bump this. Hadn't listened to "Physical Graffiti" in a while and it's still a fantastic album.

    And might I add, next to "Voodoo Chile", the sickest riff in rock history.

    That's cool... As a rhythm player I've always loved the riff in "Immigrant Song".

    Ten Years Gone for me when it comes to riffs, but there are so many.

    That song is perfection. One of my all-time favorite songs by any band. Jimmy evokes pain in the solo, which is amazing.

    Would you consider Led Zeppelin indie for their time? I'm only 26 so I don't know how they were presented/respected/followed in their prime.
    I feel like My Morning Jacket could have a similar effect on today's music and I feel they will still be relevent 20 years from now.

    Definitely not, they were signed by a major label and given one of the biggest advances 200k (1.3mm today's dollars) at the time.
