It is another beautiful day here in the wilds of England - the sun is out, the sky is a sort of a blue shade of white & I'm here listening to a 'new' cd of Led Zeppelin's 'Bath Blues Festival' show from 1970. It reached me yesterday & today is my first real chance of giving it a play.
To start with, I was a little disappointed.... I was expecting a NEW tape of the show - but it seems to be just a better version of the tape that has been around for years. Having said that, it is much better, quality wise - it's amazing what can be done with computers these days !! So - all things considered - it's not too bad !!
For those interested the tracks are:
1) Immigrant Song
2) Heartbreaker
3) Dazed & Confused
4) Bring It On Home
5) Since I've Been Loving You
6) Organ Solo
7) Thank You
8) That's The Way
9) What Is & What Should Never Be
10) Moby Dick
11) How Many More Times
12) Whole Lotta Love
13) Communication Breakdown
14) Long Tall Sally
Take into account that there are 2 medleys of rock & roll numbers, it pans out at a good 2 hours worth of music.... as I say, I'm a bit disappointed it's not a new tape - but all in all, worth a listen !! Probably one of Zeppelins best shows...... tho' I really like the '77 tour shows, this one is really good.
Ok, so what is the plan for today ? Well, everybody is out - leaving me & the cats here on our lonesome.. which ain't so bad, as it means I get to play the music a bit louder !!
The rest of the family are on their ways to Weston-Super-Mare. J is meeting up with some friends & to save him a load of hassle with buses &/or trains, B is driving him up there & ME has gone along for the ride & to do some shopping on the ways back - a sort of mini girls day out !!
ME & her boyfriend go off on their holiday on Friday, so she is well excited about that !! It's only for a week - but they have been looking forward to it for so long..... I hope the weather stays good for them !! It'll be strange not having her around the house - even when she is at Uni, she is here most nights.
IF anybody is reading this - have you tried watching 'Stargate Universe' ? B bought me the box set of season one & I'm struggling with it. I'm not sure if it's the plot lines or just the characters - whichever, I'm finding it hard work !! I've been a 'Stargate' fan since the movie came out in 1994 (?) and have collected all the dvds as they have been released, so maybe I'm stuck with the old stuff & not giving the 'SGU' enough attention, I'll keep watching & see how it goes !! Never mind - it's only a TV show after all !!
Talking of TV shows - B & I watched the first 5 seasons of 'House' back to back !! That was fun - I had forgotten most of the shows, so it was like watching them all for the first time !! The dvd extras were good as well.... check them out !
Back here in the real world - I have to visit the Dr's this afternoon - bummer !! It's not a hospital visit or anything, just a visit to my GP to sort out some of my meds'. We were reading some of the labels & one set of pills - well, it says something like I should only be on them for up to 2 weeks...... I've been on them for over a month - never mind !!
Also here in the real world - we were expecting a visit from B's dad & all that goes with it. But, it never came about, I'm glad to say !! That sounds very un-Christian, I know - but, B does not need the hassle at the moment... long story, so check out an earlier post - about 10 days ago.
Also, here in the real world (pt 3)... we - our Church - move to out new building on Sunday !! B & I went and had a look, a couple of weeks back, and it looks really good !! Just having 'our' own sign on the wall outside is pretty cool - so..... well, to us it is anyways !! I think the car park is going to be too small - but, it's OUR building, so that's the main thing !!
Our new Bishop is coming to visit us at some point next month. I'm not sure of the actual day, but it will be great to welcome him to our home, for his first visit......as B has said, as long as he takes us as we are, he is always welcome. Who knows, he might like Led Zeppelin !!
And with that in mind, I will away - the Bath Blues Festival is still playing & it has grown on me.... either that, or my ears have packed up !!
Bye Bye
