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

Another Quiet Day In The Homestead.......
Greetings Worlds....
How is your little bit of space treating you this fine morning ?! It's a little after 11am here in England - the Sun is out, the sky is a kind of blue... with a few puffy white clouds, out over the beach. All is well in my part of the Universe !!
J is behind me, getting his breakfast - or maybe an early lunch (?). I never know for sure.... he's awake most of the night - working on his computer & talking to friends around the World... so, his "food clock" is way out of order, compared to rest of us !!
B has gone into town - to pay some bills, buy some food sort of stuff & take in a bit of gym time.... she will be home in a few hours or so. That just leaves ME - who might be home in the early afternoon - as she is at a morning placement, which - I think - ends at about 2pm or there about !!
She is on a bit of a high at the moment - not only with finishing at Uni... but, she is getting the chance to look at various work places as well. At some point, she is going up to Salisbury, for an interview & look around.... that can't be bad !!
It's a bit of a drive - but, it sounds like a good job, if she can get it !!
Anyways - that just leaves me & the cats.... I'm not sure where they are, but.... I'm here typing these words to you & listening to the music of the moment. Which - as I type - is Queensryche's San Jose concert, from May 24th 1995. I didn't realise it was that old - until I just looked !! "Wow" how time goes by when you're having fun !!
It hasn't been a very good night for me..... I made the mistake of eating some cooked stuff last night & - well, I paid the price for it way into the small hours !! I keep saying "never again".... but..... I never listen to myself !! After all these years, I really should .... but....... !!
Saturday afternoon & evening were not as good as I had hoped.... so, it was decided we should not go over to Taunton, for Church..... but, stay here & rest up instead. I had hoped our friend C would pay us a visit - but, he never showed. Never mind - hopefully he will be here another weekend.
As it turned out - staying home was a very good move. I was soooooo out of it by lunch time, had we gone to Church - well, we would of had to leave early, so... staying home was for the best. I really want to try & go, next Sunday - to celebrate another year on "Planet Earth" !! Yep - it will be my birthday soon & I like going to the service, either prior or just after....... it's just something I enjoy !!
We will have to wait & see how I am !! Onwards.......
I've just spoken to my friend in Bristol. He's in fine voice this
morning !! It's the Exeter record fair on Saturday & I was hoping he might be there - but, no such luck. He buys & sells Lp's Cd's.. anything he can turn a profit to.... but, he does most of his stuff on-line now. Oh well - it would of been good to have met up again, but it was great to have a talk !!
I'll wait until Friday - to see how I am - and then phone a guy up, who sells Cd cases & stuff. He is a little more expensive - but, the cases are really good quality, so I don't mind paying a bit extra for them. If I know I'm going, I'll order up a bundle & he'll put them together for me..... saves a bit of time on the day - plus he knows he has a confirmed customer !!
I'll also e-mail one of my other friends - incase he has anything for me..... he's great & often puts things to one side for me !! We'll have to wait & see what happens this time around.....
Since I started typing - the Sun has gone in & the clouds are a lot darker now !! I hope it doesn't rain again - all the gardens around here are wet & horrid at the moment !! It's not as bad as some places, in the UK, but - we really could use a few days of hot dry weather, just to clear it all up a bit !!
It's not raining yet - but, I'll keep an eye on it.... mainly as B put some washing out to dry earlier.... I don't want that to get too wet !!
Ok - it's Zeppelin concert time again. So - if you want, you can skip the next bit !!
I did think about another show from the 1977 LA concerts.... but, then I thought about it & realised I couldn't miss another LA show, this time in 1972. It's on 3 Cd's & the tracks are:
CD 1
1) Immigrant Song
2) Heartbreaker
3) Over The Hills & Far Away
4) Black Dog
5) Since I've Been Loving You
6) Stairway To Heaven
7) Going To California
8) That's The Way
9) Tangerine
CD 2
1) Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
2) Dazed & Confused
3) What Is & What Should Never Be
4) Dancing Days
5) Moby Dick
CD 3
1) Whole Lotta Love
2) Rock & Roll
3) The Ocean
4) Louie Louie
5) Thank You
6) Communication Breakdown
7) Bring It On Home
8) Weekend
This is definitely one bootleg you do not need to track down !! Great chunks of it can be found on 'How The West Was Won' official 3 Cd set, that the band released in 2003. So - don't pay for bootlegs - especially this one... you can get it officially, so buy that instead !!
Having said all of that - it's a great concert & the atmosphere on the boot is brilliant. The encores go on & on forever - tho'... there is some dispute over 'Weekend'. The quality is pretty naff, compared to the rest of the tape.... so, it might be from somewhere else altogether !!
For myself - I think it was recorded on the same night... but, whoever did the recording was on his or her way out of the building at the time.... probably thinking Zeppelin were not coming back on stage, for another encore - as they came back, the person possibly switched the recorder back on & hence the quality is different !!
That might seem dumb - but, at Knebworth in 1979, thousands of us were heading back to the camp sites, when the band came back out & played 'Heartbreaker'........ so, it is possible !!
Oh well - more another time !! Not sure when tho'.... but, more another time & that's for sure !!
Right - my plans for the rest of the day..... I still have to work on getting my Cd list up together, with the latest Cd's to be added, so that sounds like it will be something to do. But - that's about it
really !!
I don't have anything else in the pipeline... so, another quiet day in the homestead I guess !! So, with that in mind - I will away. As always - I thank you for your time & for reading my words. Until next time...
Bye Bye
