Led Zeppelin - Bradford 1973....... ho-hum....

"Hi" Everyone In Internet Land - How are your Worlds treating you tonight ?

It's been a cold & wet day today, really not nice at all..... I don't mind cold, as long as it's dry-ish !!  Never mind - it's been a bit of "mish mash" of a day for me.... I will explain, as best I can !!

For the 2nd time in 7 days, I had to go back to the hospital - this time to have a Consultant check my mouth.  I don't mean my mouth so much, just.... well, it was a 'Ears, Nose & Throat' clinic - so.....  Anyhooo, the guy took a look & - much to my surprise - he thinks the problems I'm having, at the moment, are all linked with this dumb disease I have !!  I honestly thought it was going to be un-related, but.... I was wrong - so, that's a bummer !!

I know - from experience - that it can attack all of my digestive system.... but, it's still a pain when something 'new' comes along & whacks me sideways !!  He has made a note of my visit & has suggested - if it flares up tooooo badly, I should go back & see someone else.... probably, someone with more knowledge of my condition.  Oh well..... at least we know what's wrong, even if the guy I saw today can't really do much about it !!

So - that's why my day has been a bit of a 'mish mash'..... We made the trip to the hospital, saw a guy - who can't really do anything to help me - came home, knowing more or less as much as we did when we went in & now I'm here typing these words to you - not a bad day, just not a very good one !!  I'm surprised that it's connected to my health problems - I didn't expect that one, at all..... but.... it's better to know, rather than not know & have it "worry" along for a while.  It's just something 'new', that's all......

I'll see my GP on Friday (again) - so we'll see what he suggest I do from here..... I'm guessing not much - but, we'll see how it turns out.  Hopefully it won't mean anymore pills or potions !!  That would be bad !!

Right - I'm here alone at the moment...... ME & J are upstairs & B, my much better half, has just gone out to the gym - this time for a 'Step' class, tho' I have no idea what that means !!  As long as she is happy !!

As for the 'music of the moment' - it's still the 5 Cd set, by UFO, I was trying to play thru' last night.  I'm up to disc 4 now & I'm enjoying this disc, better than the rest - mainly as I know most of the tracks !!  I'm guessing I had the LP at some point, tho' I'm not really sure about that !!

I had an e-mail today... asking why I didn't do a Led Zeppelin show, yesterday..... well, mainly as I didn't have one from January 17th !!  But I do have one for today.... so, on this day - January 18th (1973) the band played at the St Georges Hall, in Bradford (UK).  The Cd's I have of the show have the following tracks on them:

CD 1
1) Rock & Roll
2) Over The Hills & Far Away
3) Black Dog
4) Misty Mountain Hop
5) Since I've Been Loving You
6) Dancing Days
7) Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
8) The Song Remains The Same
9) The Rain Song
10) Dazed & Confused
CD 2
1) Stairway To Heaven
2) Whole Lotta Love
3) Heartbreaker

I think they also played 'Immigrant Song' - but, it's not on my copy of the show.... never mind, I have a copy of it someplace here !!  As always, don't pay for any bootlegs..... buy the official stuff !!  This tape is not the Worlds greatest recording, but - as a collector of 'live' Zeppelin shows, it's one for the box !!  More shows, as & when I think about it !!

My thanks by the way to my German reader who has logged on today + all the rest of you around & about the place !!  I'm still amazed so many of you read my words - my thanks again to all of you !!  Onwards !!

My plans for tonight are really non-existent !!  There is a TV programme about the Crusades & - as I like "history stuff" - I'll try & stick a disc in for that.  It's on over 3 nights, so I'll record it & watch it back, when I'm more with it, at the moment.... well, it's been a long day !!  I think tomorrow is going to be a bit quieter, so I can rest up a bit & maybe - just maybe - get my self a little back together !!  I hate feeling low & I need to sort myself out a bit & try to pick my spirits up a bit !!  We'll see how things go I guess.....

Here is a little bit of 'strangeness' - UFO are playing 'Alone Again Or' (the old Love track) & it was on the hospital radio today, as we were waiting to be seen !! Oh well - I thought it was a little strange.... but, that's just me I guess & those of you, who know me, can testify - I really am a little strange !! Hee-hee !!

So - with me being a little strange, I better think about what I'm going to do this evening, after I finish these few words.... as mentioned, above - I'm going to do very little & that's fact... but, I better give it a little thought or else I'll stay here at the keyboard all night !!  that would be bad.... so, until next time.....

Bye Bye
