Led Zeppelin & 'Silent Lucidity'.... Ho-hum

Greetings !!

Welcome to my Tuesday...... it's not very nice outside - wet &
muggy !! Oh well.... I hope you are all doing well, I'm not so bad today - so, that's a bonus !!

I'm here on my own, as I type.... J is upstairs, in his "Hobbit Hole".... keeping an eye on me..... B has just gone into the gym.... she hasn't been for a little while, so she wants to make up for it a bit. She hasn't been lazy or anything - the bug she has had over the last couple of weeks has laid her a little low & not really in a "go to gym" mood !!

So - that just leaves ME.... she is on a day off today & will be home shortly (I think) after spending the night at M's place. He (M) is working today... so, when he goes off to work, that is when she will head for home.

The music of the moment is 'Bad' by U2.  It's on one of the music tapes, as mentioned before.... so, I'm getting all kinds of things coming out of the speakers today !! Something else has just come on - by U2 - but, I'm not sure what it's called, so I will have to think about this one !!

That's the trouble I guess..... the reason why I'm trying to list all the tracks.  If I can't remember what they're called - how is anybody else meant to know, when I eventually kick the bucket ?! Never mind - what ever that U2 track was called... Queensryche's 'Silent Lucidity' is playing now.... a great track !!

This whole "dying" thing has become a bit of a pain now.  Not in the literal sense, tho' I do have to put up with the various pains & stuff - thank you Lord for your Spirit & the various pain med's I have to take - but, being told you're dying & then waiting for it to happen.... well, it gets a bit much at times !!

Oh well..... onto happier topics.... tho' I have to go back into hospital, next week.... so, we'll see what happens then I guess !! But - happier things !!

I actually have another Zeppelin concert, from August 7th 1971. It was at the Montreux Casino, in Montreux, Switzerland & I have the show spread over 2 Cd's.  The tracks are:

CD 1

1) Immigrant Song
2) Heartbreaker
3) Since I've Been Loving You
4) Black Dog
5) Dazed & Confused
6) Stairway To Heaven
7) Going To California
8) That's The Way

CD 2

1) Celebration Day
2) What Is & What Should Never Be
3) Whole Lotta Love
4) Weekend

I really like this show... not only is it very well recorded, but - because of the size of the venue - it's a really "intimate" atmosphere.  I do like the big venue shows, but this one has a certain something special about it. It was a sort of warm up concert, for the American tour, which I'll be listing in a week or two.

As always - don't buy bootlegs... buy the official stuff instead !!

Staying with music.... there is another record fair, in Exeter, at the start of September... so, we will try & go to that one. when we went, to the last one... well, it seemed ages until the next one was going to happen, but all of a sudden.... it's in 3 weeks time !!  Great stuff !!

It will great to go down & see my friends again..... and maybe, just maybe come home with some new recordings !!  Time will tell I guess... but, it should be fun !!

Which reminds me... I have some old Cd's to send off to a friend, who I usually meet at the fair.  I must do that - I've got them all here to post, I just have to sort them out & get them in the post. I'll get on with that a little later this morning, or early this afternoon !!

Going back a couple of days, or so...... I wrote about having another blood test. I think it was last Friday. Anyhoo - since then, my left arm has bruised up, all around the pin prick. It seems as if the curse of the "Black Left Hand" might be on it's way back !!  It's weird - I never used to bruise.... maybe it's something to do with the newer drugs I'm on !!  All very weird tho'........

It could be worse - it might be my face going black.... how we would explain that one, I have no idea !! It would be interesting tho'..... oh well.......

The music is just coming to an end.... Crosby, Stills & Nash's 'Cost Of Freedom' has just played.... a lovely little tune !! Anyways - as the tape is ending... I will be on my ways & sort out these Cd's for my friend. He lives down in Devon - which is a shame, as it's just a little too far, at the moment, to just go & drop them off - oh well, he should get them by the weekend.  I've got to pack them first - so, I will be on my way & do that...... until next time...

Bye Bye
