This is an incredible live version of Achilles Last Stand, from Zeppelin’s, 1979, Knebworth Concert; which, sadly, would be their last performance, prior to the death of their drummer, John Bonham.

Enjoy!

How cool (and historical) is this? Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, together on April 5th, at Radio City Music Hall, singing “With a little Help from My Friends”.

John Paul Jones and Paul Gilbert, playing an instrumental version of Going to California.

John Paul Jones can really play the mandolin…

This is really nice!

He’s a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man, please listen
You don’t know what you’re missing
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command

He’s as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?

Nowhere Man, don’t worry
Take your time, don’t hurry
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand

Doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man, please listen
You don’t know what you’re missing
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command

He’s a real Nowhere Man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

The Beatles, Rubber Soul, 1965

This is a really nice tribute from Robert Plant to Jimmy’s amazing guitar playing, songwriting and the overall creativity of Zeppelin as a whole.

For anyone that has never heard Stanley Jordan, you “may” really appreciate this.
 
As a guitarist, I really appreciate Stanley Jordan’s style of guitar playing; I saw him live, in Philadelphia, back in the nineties; it was great!
 
This is Stanley  Jordan performing Stairway to Heaven.
 
Enjoy!

This is a home demo of a song, written by my friends Chris and Chaz. The song is about the vastness of the universe. With Chris’ permission, I am happy to share it…
 
It is called “Inhaling Orion”…

Sure! Ringo and Paul! Bring it on guys! That would be fantastic!
http://www.xfm.co.uk/news/2009/sir-macca-would-love-beatles-reunion-
 
In January, Paul appeared on The View; how did I miss that? : )
 
Anywho, I just watched it; it is a lot of fun!
 
Paul talks about how privileged he was to collaborate (understandably) with John Lennon;
then Whoopi, Paul, and the audience sing “Silly Love Songs”, off the cuff.
Very cool, indeed!
 
Check it out…

1995 was a very good year for “real” classic rock fans: we had Page and Plant touring together, and The Beatles did their anthology project!

The absolute coolest thing about  the anthology project was that Paul, Ringo, and George, were given (by Yoko Ono) John Lennon out-takes of his two songs… Real Love and Free as a Bird. With those out takes, The Beatles went into the studio and re-united with John.

That was an absolutely great tribute to John, and both songs were, and still are, excellent!

Unfortunately, The Beatles did not take to the stage, or road together; nonetheless, it was a great musical moment, with lots of great Beatles studio, out-take releases etc.

Anyone who is from the area, may remember The TV Guide?

This is another one that I have in a plastic magazine cover.

Check this out!

In ’95, when Plant and Page were touring together, they were in Philadelphia, and my friend (who worked on South Street) just happened to bump into Robert Plant, while walking down South Street; pretty cool, huh?

He knew I was a big Zeppelin fan, and was kind enough to get me a copy of The Philly Rock Guide (below, scanned), and ask Robert Plant to sign it for me.

I have it here at home, in a magazine cover. : )

WOW! Great news! Robert Plant and Allison Krauss won the best album of the year award for Raising Sand; that is so cool! 
 
I am so proud of Robert; in his mid-fifties, he is still making great music and winning awards.
I happen to own, and really like the album.
 
I must say, Robert has done a great job of building, and reinventing himself, in a post Zeppelin musical career.

These are a few things that I basically recorded off the cuff; first the rhythm, them the overdubbed guitar solos.

If you like Jazz and Blues, you may appreciate these very short takes. My friend Chaz is playing keyboards on Blues Session.
