'3 days After' & other Zeppelin stuff.. Ho-hum..

Greetings World's !!

I'm home alone, for a few hours - sooooo.... I thought I would turn the music up loud & write a few words, about how my day has gone. So far, it's been very quiet & really good !!

I've just waved "goodbye" to B... she is heading over to the next village, for her weight-watchers meeting. I think I've probably mentioned it before - but she only started a couple of weeks back... so this, tonight, will make it her 3rd visit.

It's not actually called "Weight-Watchers".... it's some other type of weight meeting, going by another brand name, altogether. Oh well... same thing tho'.... hopefully she will enjoy going ?! Time will tell, I guess.....

As for the rest of the family..... ME came over, for a couple of hours, this afternoon - that was great !! I always love it, when our daughter pays us a visit !! As I've said before - she really brightens up my
day !!

Sooooo - that's the family.....

I'm glad ME came over - it was a great excuse, for me to stop working in the spare room !! Not that I need any excuse - but, it helps..... it really does !!

The room is gradually coming together tho'....... I've managed to work my ways thru' to the closet, at the back & I've actually opened the door of the thing !! That's a first... probably in a few years !! No - I'm only joking - the door has been opened before.... just not all the ways.......

Now tho' - we can get in & throw away the junk that is hiding in there. That ranges from loads of sheets & curtains, right thru' to Lego & toy cars !! I'm not sure how & what we're going to do with all of that - probably lose it some place or another. Some one on the 'Freegle' web site, will no doubt take them off of our hands.... I hope so, at least !!

I'll deal with that lot, either later tonight... or, more likely, tomorrow. Once again - time will tell !! But, that moves me on to the music of the moment !!

I mentioned before... about how I was going thru' some old tapes, that I recorded in 1986 or '87 - I'm not 100% sure when i did them... not to worry, they were all done about then.

Anyhoo - I've been listening to them, bit by bit & a short while ago, one of the tracks was from Led Zeppelin's '3 Days After' bootleg..... one of the better recordings, that came out of their 1973 American tour.

I'm not sure, why there was one track, on the tape - mainly as the Lp never went to my ex-wife. I best explain.....

The tapes, as I may have written all ready, were made up of my favourite Lp tracks, from the albums, my ex wanted - the Zeppelin Lp was not part of that settlement !! Not to worry - the tape was on & the track was on the tape.... it reminded me of the album & I've dug out the Cd version, to give that a listen !! It's really well good...

It was recorded at the L.A. Forum & if you put it alongside 'Bonzo's Birthday Party' - it makes a really great 4 Lp set. The tracks, on the '3 D's A'  Lp set are:

Side A

1) Stairway To Heaven
2) That's The Way
3) Bron-Y-Aur

Side B

1) Moby Dick

Side C

1) Heartbreaker
2) Whole Lotta Love

Side D

1) The Ocean
2) Communication Breakdown
3) Thank You

Ok - I'm not telling you to buy bootlegs - avoid them, if you can....... but, this has always been a huge favourite of mine - mainly for the fantastic version of 'Thank You' on the 4th side !! It's really brilliant - so full of "atmosphere" it's hard to describe !!

If you own a copy of the Lp - it's worth a small fortune to Zep collectors........ it's not the greatest live recording in the World - but, it's always been one of the best, that I have here in our collection.

Oh - I forgot.... tracks 2 & 3 on 'Side A' are from the band's 'Live On Blueberry Hill' concert - from September 4th 1970.... just 3 years earlier !! It's all good tho' - just don't buy bootlegs !!

Right - I best be on my ways.... things to do & stuff like that !! Not much.... infact, very little... but, I must get on with it all !! Sooooo - I'm away for now...

I thank you all, for taking the time to log in & read my words... from Germany, thru' Portugal & other countries around the World.... thank you for your time !! Maybe you can let me know what you're listening to.... until next time...

Bye Bye
