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!

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!

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!

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. Mark

John Bonham was a true master (freak of nature) on drums. This is about 3/4′s of Moby Dick from Zeppelin’s famous, Royal Albert Hall performance in 1970. I think that Bonham’s drum solo is completely amazing. Enjoy!

It was an April morning when they told us we should go
As I turn to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no? With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss,
The devil’s in his hole Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen. Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown
The shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the ground Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowd To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stone If one bell should ring, in celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet. Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glow
As far away and distant, Our mutual child did grow Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the pain
Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again Wandering & wandering, What place to rest the search
The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth
From the earth… I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way Oh the mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth. Led Zeppelin, Presence, 1977

Here is a very nice, and very rare, live Zeppelin performance of Babe I’m Gonna Leave You.
Enjoy!
I believe that this is one of only two times that they performed Babe I’m Going to Leave You live. Also, I believe this performance is from their very first tour, which was in Scandinavia (Led Zeppelin Scandinavian Tour), and lasted ten days, under the name of The New Yardbirds; which was a Yardbirds contractual agreement being fulfilled. The tour went so well, and surpassed anything that the original Yardbirds could have imagined, that the band collectively decided to drop The Yardbirds name and come up with a new name; hence the incarnation of Led Zeppelin.

This is the springtime of my loving-
The second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing-
So little warmth Ive felt before.
It isnt hard to feel me glowing-
I watched the fire that grew so low. It is the summer of my smiles-
Flee from me keepers of the gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune.
Aint so hard to recognize-
These things are clear to all from
Time to time. ooooh… Talk talk-
Ive felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us… But I know that I love you so
But I know that I love you so. These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion-
I see the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient-
Upon us all a little rain
Must fall.
Just a little rain?
Ooooh, yeah yeah yeah! Led Zeppelin, Houses of The Holy, 1973

Well, on the 10th, of December, it was exactly one year since Led Zeppelin reunited for the one off show, in London. While that show received very good reviews, and started a firestorm of Zeppelin reunion rumors, there still does not seem to be too much going on, except that they may get back together, with or without Plant. Has anyone heard anything? Mark

A great performance from Zeppelin, in 1970, at Royal Albert Hall. This is truly Rock and Roll history being made…

I just recently started reading that Led Zeppelin may in fact do reunion tour, but Robert Plant may not be on board. http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5j6YCdYhgoN4yvTiIE84LxBDU_ajQ Robert, in my opinion, is still the greatest rock singer ever, and I do respect his reasons for not wanting to go on a full fledged tour, however, he bums me out, at the same time. In my opinion, he shows the least amount of enthusiasm for the legend and great music of Led Zeppelin and perhaps he is the most honest and realistic member, at the same time. As much as John Paul Jones, Jason Bonham and Jimmy Page would like to do it, I would plead for them to leave good enough alone, if Robert is not on board. Perhaps they could do something musically together, but not as Led Zeppelin. Maybe Robert will have a change of heart, we’ll have to see. Mark

Well, we are coming up on one year since Led Zeppelin took the stage (below) in London, at The 02 Arena, on December 10th, 2007, for the one off show, as a tribute to Ahmet Ertegün, one of the co-founders of Atlantic Records. As one the world’s biggest Led Zeppelin fans, I have to say, that it was one of the most exciting things that has happened in the last few years. I think they far exceeded any expectations, and anything that they have done (as a group) since their late, great, drummer, John Bonham, passed on in 1980. This leaves me wondering, what is to come? Will Led Zeppelin go for it, one more time?
