'Celebration Day' !!

Hi Everybody !!

How are you all doing this fine day ?!  It's cold & bright here... B took me into town, earlier & I stayed snug in the car - blow getting out in these temperatures !!

Anyways...

I was thinking back, to really brilliant Zeppelin bootleg.... it's called 'Burn Like A Candle' & covers. almost completely their June 25th concert in Los Angeles.  It's a great show & it - for me - raised a problem.

When the band released 'How The West Was Won'... well, it really compared badly to the old audience recording that I was used to !! There was so little atmosphere, in the official release & - for me - that is a problem.

What has all of this got to do with the price of fish & chips ? Well, nothing at all really.... but, having listened to the re-union show, from December 10th 2007, sooooo many times over the last few years.... well, the official release, that came out this week, fails badly, to live up to my expectations !!

But - that's just me & I would recommend you buy the official box set, in preference to the boot.... for one thing, it's not going to cost the band anything.... & - thinking about it - the boot is probably going to be more expensive !!

The tracks are:

CD 1

1) Good Times, Bad Times
2) Ramble On
3) Black Dog
4) In My Time Of Dying
5) For Your Life
6) Trampled Underfoot
7) Nobody's Fault But Mine
8) No Quarter

CD 2

1) Since I've Been Loving You
2) Dazed & Confused
3) Stairway To Heaven
4) The Song Remains The Same
5) Misty Mountain Hop
6) Kashmir
7) Whole Lotta Love
8) Rock & Roll

The stand out track, for me at least, is 'Since I've Been Loving You'.... Jason Bonham's drumming is the best I've ever heard from him !!  He is a decent guy - and yes I have met him - but, I wish he could break away from "the Son of Bonzo" tag !!  Never mind.... it's a good collection of tracks & worth having in your collection.  I wish they had done something from 'In Thru' The Out Door' album... but, never mind !!  Buy the box set... you get 2 DVD's & 2 Cd's for your money .... so......

As I type, B is here drinking hot chocolate... it's that cold outside, J is up in his room & ME is at work..... she'll be home much later.  M was here, earlier... he had to come to the village, so as he needed just a little help, finding a place, he called in.

As for my plans for today... well, for the whole weekend... I'm going to kick back & rest up - it's been a very busy week & I need my beauty sleep !!  Ho-hum....

Thank you for logging in.....until next time...

Bye Bye
