Led Zeppelin - Bath Blues Festival 1970

Hi Worlds...... how you all doing ?

Today, well - tonight - marks the 41st anniversary of Zeppelin's  'Bath Blues Festival' show at Shepton Mallet & to mark this moment in history, I'm playing the show as I type...... pretty cool !!  I wasn't at the show (I'm sorry to say) but somebody taped it - well, at least 2 people taped it - and it's one of those tapes I'm playing now !!

It's often called to as Zeppelin's best concert - but I think there are better ones... it's still a good show tho' !
Most of the tracks of the day are there:

Immigrant Song
Heartbreaker
Dazed & Confused
Bring It On Home
Since I've Been Loving You
Thank You
Moby Dick
Whole Lotta Love etc etc

A really good show - but - for me, not the best one they ever did !!  Never mind... if you're ever offered a copy of the tape - go for it, BUT don't pay for it !!  Never pay for a bootleg !!

Ok - that's the music of the moment... as for the family.  Well, the ladies of the house are out & J is upstairs.  B wasn't happy with him this morning - he didn't show his face until gone 12 noon !!  I've told him to get up earlier in future - not that he'll listen to me !!  What children do ?!!  You never know tho'......

It's been a good day today - I'm still having trouble sleeping, but on the whole it's been an Ok kind of day !!  I actually did the last of the 'big' upstairs painting !!  I just have a few rails to do & the 'rec room' door & it'll all be done - hopefully (health providing) I'll get it finshed by Friday.... then Saturday we're off to Birmingham !!  So I want to finish it before we go, if I can...... we'll see.....

B said earlier, that I'm getting all excited about the Greg Allman concert - you bet I am.... It really is a big deal to me & I'm over the moon to be going !!  Again - my thanks for Lady V at the Allman's web site for the heads up on the show..... I would not of thought about going, until she told us about it !!  I hope the weather holds up - it's been really warm this last couple of days !!

Hopefully the Allman's 'Beacon Theater' shows will be here soon - they should be good....... plus it'll be great to have a box set !!  I've always wanted one (box sets) & thank's to B one is on it's way !!  It'll take a while to listen to them all, but it'll fun doing it.......

The music playing now is the S/t to 'Avatar' - bit of a change from Zeppelin - it's a good listen........ + I like to change things now & again !!  It won't be on for long tho'... 'Quantum Leap' is on soon, so I'll be watching that !!

Talking of watching things - the old version of 'True Grit' came in the post this morning - so that'll fun to look at & compare to the new version !!  I have ME's boyfriend to thank for the latter - it was a 'Father's Day' gift from him, which I thought was pretty nice of him !!

I've not heard anything yet about going back into hospital - one thing is for sure, I won't be going this week !!  Hopefully, I'll hear something soon... I want to get it over with !!  Must away......

Bye Bye
