I know that Ramadan was a little while ago but I was just trying to be inclusive and it is the closest Islamic holiday to now. I don't even know much about Kwanza but I heard it was around now too. I have never met anyone who celebrates Kwanza - an African festival, right? Sydney does have a huge Islamic community though. Personally, I don't celebrate any of them. The closest affiliation I have would be to Hannukah. I hope you all enjoy(ed) your various holidays. I just enjoy spreading love and any excuse to give gifts. As for remastered Joni, I'm not sure now which ones have been remastered officially. Maybe someone else is more knowledgeable on this. Anyone? I do know that our own mastering specialist, Dave Blackburn did some incredible work on several albums. My personal favourite was the amazing job he did on bringing Song To a Seagull into the 21st century. He totally breathed new life into that album and I hear things that I never knew were there before. Joni really needs to give him a call. Mark in Sydney ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 10:28:01 -0000 From: "Ross, Les" Subject: ZoSo very good indeed....njc Kicking off with a faltering grooved-up rendition of Copeland's Fanfare for the Common Man as made popular by that beat combo Emerson Lake and Palmer, this time played by the adept but remorselessly tune-free Keith Emerson, Yes's Chris (who ate all the pies) Squire and Allan White among many others, the first thing coming as a major relief was that they'd got the hall sound absolutely perfect. Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings formed the main core of musicians complemented by an assortment of singers including Paul Rogers (Free) turning in a 'nailed' performance of All Right Now and something else i'd never heard before. Maggie Bell belted out Aretha to great effect. Foreigner impreached us to sing along to I Want to Know What Love Is to general indifference from those immediately around me. There was, unsurprisingly, a sense of "get on with it" and "When does Zep come on..?." Paulo Nutini, whom i'd mistakenly lumped in with all the other poppy doll* (pop idol) effluent, turned a couple of tunes with a voice dripping with whisky sour soaked in Scottish burr. He was brilliant. Of all the worthies of old being trotted out last night, he alone seemed totally in his element. Time to clear the stage. Audience: Light blue touch paper and retire to safe distance.....Dear god, here they come...... Long shoes... they're wearing looooong shoes....... I digress. Here's the set. 'Good Times Bad Times' 'Ramble On' 'Black Dog' 'In My Time Of Dying' 'For Your Life' 'Trampled Under Foot' 'Nobody's Fault But Mine' 'No Quarter' 'Since I've Been Loving You' 'Dazed And Confused' 'Stairway To Heaven' 'The Song Remains The Same' 'Misty Mountain Hop' 'Kashmir' encore 1 'Whole Lotta Love' encore 2 'Rock And Roll' My heart stopped when the band started up. Lord it was a mighty sound but Plant's voice was lost. Clipping out under the weight of the band. And what a tight tight band. The weeks they've put into this really paid off. There was no waste anywhere. A couple of songs in though and the man on the desk had earned his groats. I'd have to defer to the likes of Paz who knows a thing or several about stage sound but i'm guessing that Plant's is a voice not always easy to get through the wall of sound a band can produce. But by Black Dog, all those concerns were set aside. I can't imagine any fan could have been disappointed by the performances last night. I can't say here that they dicked around with the arrangements. Nearly everything was played completely straight. Really, really well, but without much in the way of improvisation. Fair enough. Such solos as either Page or Jones got into failed to take flight (for me) and were kept on a short rein. My personal fave, from their songs on record, Dazed and Confused came in a little over 11 minutes. Last night it was magical if not sublime. Since I've been Loving You caught fire though. Page and Plant outdid themselves on that one and at the end of it, as i could see using binoculars, all four of them were delighted with what they'd just played. From that point, the band were completely in the zone. Up to that point, they'd kinda occupied the same small area of the stage. Just in front of the drums. Like they were kinda taking comfort in their nearness to each other. After Loving You that all changed. EVERYONE sang along to Stairway. Natch. And it just got better and better. By the time they got to the closing song of the main set, Kashmir, they'd managed to get the Planets to align, the main Portals to the Multiverse to open in sequence and channel their steadily surfacing voodoo into this one monumental song. One could not hope for a more complete and elemental performance of any song. It was absolutely brilliant. Brilliant beyond the capacity of the word brilliant to communicate brilliance. And then they were off. "gasp" The place went daft. Again, natch. Encores were top fun. Whole Lot of Love was a hoot. A bit of demented nonsense with the theramin. Rock and Roll had EVERYone singing along. And then they were off. All done. At worst they were excellent. At best, something else entirely. Long shoes though.

The latest RS has a cover story on this reunion and (hopefully) subsequent tour.

They've got about 40 songs under their belts, including some obscurities. Anyway, I'm happy for your good fortune - couldn't have happened to a nicer chap. Thanks for sharing the memories.

Couldn't say about the 'key' the songs were being played in but i was surrounded by officionados whom i'm sure would have pronounced boldly on the subject were it the case. Sure Plant's voice wasn't EVERYTHING it once was and in all truth i was rather 'ready' to wince at the expected 'failures to launch'. A very few times the melodies were changed to cater to his likely lower register but it was infrequent enough to not draw discrediting notice. When he did howl, and yes he did, the howl made your hair stand on end and for all the right reasons. The absence of The Immigrant Song from the set list was telling and well advised. Page was totally brilliant though. Gurning like a good thing and nailing his performace unequivocally. And dirty, dirty guitar sounds. Rudenessness. That man is bad with a guitar. shouldn't be allowed. think of the children etc.... Interesting what you say about the sound engineer and vocals. i'd say that 90 percent of gigs i've attended fail to get the volume and clarity right for the singer. especially, if not exclusively, when fronting a 'giving-it-hell' guitar band. Prince, recently, was particularly delinquent in that regard. "recording from the audience......" er, um......

I really enjoyed it. There is not a whole lot of new information but it's good to hear Joni and Herbie discussing music rather than the usual garbage Joni gets asked. I liked what she had to say about counting rhythms in a bar... when her time meters change in odd places she says it's only wrong if you're counting... he he... signing off for now, Peace, David - --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

It's like when someone says "I could care less" instead of the CORRECT "I couldn't care less". I hate when they do that. And back to the subject line...I was at the gym at noon and the TV news was showing clips of the LZ concert, and I just calmly bragged that a friend of mine was there for it. Coolness by association, works for me.

When the digest arrived today I noticed that Kay's response was not included but that my reply to her was included. I was a little horrified at first that I had mistakenly posted a private message to the list but then checked Kay's email and it was indeed posted to the JMDL. In the past few weeks a few things I posted never appeared on the digest or appeared days after I had sent them. At the same time my email inbox and outbox stopped working and I now have to check my email through a backup service Web Mail. I'm just wondering if others are experiencing similar problems.

I get individual posts. But sometimes I see a response that someone has sent, but I haven't yet received the original e-mail that prompted the response. And yet, obviously the person who is responding to that post, did receive it. I've also had posts arrive days or even weeks after they were apparently posted. I wonder where they've been? And I wasn't getting any of my own posts (from smoe, that is) for a few weeks because somehow my own name had become blocked. I mean, I do go through these periods of self-loathing, but I don't hate myself THAT much!

Hmmmpf... That great/beautiful city was built by the blood, sweat, tears, and lives of millions of people from Indonesia, Suriname, etc. 350 years of colonialism surely hurt. But it's interesting how a human-rights-abuser-nation turned into human-right-watcher. Rian NP.

Okay here is a test. I will be really interested if this link http://newamericancentury.org/REBUILDINGAMERICASDEFENCES.pdf makes it through to anyone. Check out page 63 where the neocons in 1999 spelled out their goal of overturning the Taliban in Afghanistan and ousting Saddam in Iraq. What has always disturbed me about this great plan was its conclusion that Americans wouldn't go along with the great plan unless there was a Pearl Harbor-like event. I asked: is this why W let 9/11 happen? This was the thread ranting about CAN YOU BELIEVE W when my problem first began about 2 weeks ago. I can't help but suspect that the 'Bushies' are going to great lengths to erase their sordid tracks going back to their 1940s oil alliance with bin Ladens. Perhaps this explains what is going on with the NJC just like the erased torture tapes currently in the bad news.

Would have enjoyed both of them..also love "the Loner" and clever that he's doing Campaigner. Glad the planets aligned for the Zep. I guess you could see it in the cinema in the UK as well. Nice that they're doing stuff from the underrated Presence album. iwannalivewithacinammongirlouttherewithloveinhereyesand flowersinherhair.
