Jason Bonham at Winter NAMM 2010

Jason Bonham at the Ludwig booth talking about Ludwig’s Vistalite Plexiglas drums, that were originally introduced in 1972.
Did you know John Bonham played an amber Vistalite set in Led Zeppelin?

Happy Birthday Jimmy Page

Happy Birthday to Jimmy Page, one of our favorite English musicians, guitarists and songwriters, born January 9th, 1944.
If you’ve ever marveled at a successful career, Page is a great example; from his early studio sessions, through the Yardbirds to Led Zeppelin to The Firm, his work with Robert Plant and David Coverdale, and [...]

Happy Birthday John Paul Jones

Happy Birthday to John Paul Jones, born January 3, 1946. Musician, multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer and arranger, Jones’ work with Led Zeppelin is legendary, not only on bass but keyboards as well.
Jones is currrently working with a new group, Them Crooked Vultures, featuring Jones on bass and piano, along with Dave Grohl of [...]

Decade of Classic Rock 2000-2009

I read plenty of music reviews about the end-of-the-year and end-of-the-decade, but none of them really captured what I felt was a good look at the classic rock scene in the past ten years. So here’s my take on the past decade in classic rock…
2000: Santana wins a record nine Grammy Awards, including [...]

Grammy Awards

The Grammy Awards was a three-and-a-half-hour extravaganza, but the long listing of performance artists sounded more like an all-day music festival than this year’s show.
The Performers:
Paul McCartney rocked out with Dave Grohl on drums, who was clearly enjoying himself. How appropriate they played “I Saw Her Standing There,” one of the original Beatle songs that [...]

“How Many More Times” Yardbirds to Zeppelin

Found a great video of a young Led Zeppelin jamming to my favorite track off their debut album…”How Many More Times.” There appears to be five videos in a series, recorded from Vu!, probably a television show in Scandinavia, where the band initially performed as the New Yardbirds. Wow, you can really see [...]

Led Zeppelin I

It was forty years ago when Led Zeppelin released their debut album on January 12, 1969. The group had already played some gigs under their new name, after fulfilling contractual obligations as the New Yardbirds in 1968, and were now on their first U.S. tour as Led Zeppelin.

Led Zeppelin I is still one of [...]

Happy Birthday Jimmy Page

Happy Birthday to Jimmy Page, one of my favorite guitarists. He’s got the dream career resume…studio sideman, Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, solo career, record producer and guitar collector.
Here’s a great video of what I’d call a dream tour…Jimmy Page playing his favorite Les Paul with the Black Crowes covering Zeppelin’s “Ten Years Gone.”

Led Zeppelin Mini LP Box Set due Nov.11

It was forty years ago (1968) when the Yardbirds finally disbanded and Jimmy Page assembled the mighty Led Zeppelin. In fact, the band’s first few gigs were billed as “The New Yardbirds,” but that didn’t last for long, as Led Zeppelin quickly defined their enormous sound and began their historic ascent to stardom.
The long-awaited [...]

Flashback Friday The Yardbirds Years

It was forty years ago, July 1968 when The Yardbirds played their final gig at Luton Technical College in Bedfordshire, England. The lineup at that time was Keith Relf as lead singer and on harmonica, Jimmy Page on guitar, (Jeff Beck had already left the group by that time,) Chris Dreja on bass and [...]

FlashBack Friday with Heart

I always liked the band Heart, not only because Ann and Nancy Wilson were both great vocalists, but also because they liked Led Zeppelin, and used those influences in their own music. My favorite Heart album is Dog & Butterfly because of the song “Mistral Wind,” which conjures up shades of Zeppelin from Physical [...]

Sgt. Pepper’s Bass Drum Beats A Million

The world’s most famous drum head, the hand-painted bass drum skin for The Beatles’ album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” sold to a private buyer for $1.1 million on Thursday July 10th. That made it the star attraction at Christie’s rock and pop memorabilia auction in London, among other items from The Beatles, [...]

Rhino Entertainment YouTube Channel

Rhino Records has been my favorite record label for years. Those same zany folks offer their fantastic catalog and bizarre sense of humor online, and serve up all their latest music and video in CD, DVD, digital downloads, and of course, their awesome box sets.
Now they’re sharing their best video clips on YouTube on [...]

Best Selling Music Artists Of All Time

I was reading another one of the many stories about the Beatles music being available on iTunes, which turned about to be just another rumor. These are all over the internet but Sony music, who owns the licensing, denies any of these stories as true. At the end of this particular story on applesource, [...]

John Paul Jones, the legendary bassist of Led Zeppelin, will be performing with the Foo Fighters during the 50th Annual Grammy Awards. Jones will be arranging an orchestral piece as special guest conductor of a unique musical ensemble, performing a special version of the Foo Fighters’ “The Pretender.”

007 Year in Review

2007 was an amazing year for classic rock! We flashed back to the Summer of Love in 1967 and celebrated musical milestones like the Monterey Pop Festival. We saw some of our favorite groups reunite for a world tour, like Genesis and Van Halen. And [...]

Look Who Turned 60 In 2007

Who says classic rock is dead?
2007 was a big year for classic rock band reunions, with some really big tours (like Genesis) and special shows (like Spinal Tap appearing at Live Earth and the recent Led Zeppelin benefit concert.)
Musicians, singers & songwriters who turned 60 this year:
Gregg Allman (Allman Brothers Band) Dec. 8
Bob [...]

Led Zeppelin Plants a new Page in rock history

I really couldn’t write anything that hasn’t already been said about Led Zeppelin’s performance last Monday night. But some of what has been written is pretty good, so I’ve included links to some of my favorite posts. It’s no surprise there’s already video on YouTube, thanks to backpackdave (with over 600,000 hits in [...]

Zeppelin Gets The Led Out Tonight

Tonight’s the big night, the big show, the ultimate reunion concert. Led Zeppelin at London’s O2 Arena, live on stage, to benefit the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund. The concert was originally scheduled for late November until Jimmy Page injured a finger, setting the concert back until December 10th.

Led Zeppelin plays tribute to Ahmet Ertegun

It’s big news and already been blogged to death. Led Zeppelin has announced a reunion concert for November, along with another best of collection CD release. I have to say it’s wonderful to see a musical tribute to the late great Ahmet Ertegun, who nurtured so many artists and bands careers at , [...]
