I don't much care for Led Zeppelin, so I don't think I've ever clicked on an LZ thread, but I'm dying at all the food puns from four months ago. Good job, all!

The Ravishing of ROFL Stein (Hadrian VIII), Thursday, 8 August 2019 21:46 (five years ago)

I don’t think Phil was to blame!

60... 90... 120 Minute IPA (morrisp), Thursday, 8 August 2019 21:53 (five years ago)

It's not Phil's fault! It's Robert and his bad singing, and Page and his bad playing/tuning, and Tony Thompson and his misplaced coked up aggression and a total lack of rehearsal, which Phil goes into in some detail in his book.

It's true the monitors were shot and Page's guitar hadn't been tuned...and Phil's 10x the drummer Tony Thompson is but he never rehearsed w/ them and he's so busy, it was just very off. I remember in an interview afterward they were kind of annoyed w/ him for not just holding it down

ha but as a kid I remember being too excited to really notice this much

The Ravishing of ROFL Stein (Hadrian VIII), Friday, 9 August 2019 01:49 (five years ago)

The whole chapter in the Phil book is worth a read, especially about the transformation of his good friend Robert Plant into a raging asshole the closer the event came to becoming a Led Zeppelin reunion.

Of Stairway? He goes into that, specifically, in the book! It's down the the weird-ass timing of that stretch, which requires rehearsal to nail right.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 9 August 2019 02:54 (five years ago)

'and Phil's 10x the drummer Tony Thompson"

huh? how do you figure?

Tony Thompson was obviously great!

The Ravishing of ROFL Stein (Hadrian VIII), Friday, 9 August 2019 16:06 (five years ago)

Tony Thompson was (I guess like the other Chic guys) kinda a rock guy, but he more than the other two apparently always bristled at being labeled a disco dude and wanted to rock out. Which (plus the cocaine) partly explains the Live Aid debacle.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 9 August 2019 16:46 (five years ago)

The crazy thing about Phil was that even as a solo star and a Genesis star he still toured as Plant's *drummer.* You can find a complete show on youtube, but the quality is iffy. Lots of clips of Phil backing people at those Prince's trust shows, though, like this clip backing Plant with Pete Townshend on guitar and Mick Karn on bass:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2FHDW5Frwc

Or Collins, Brian May and friggin' Rick Astley:

And here's Clapton at his lowest backed by Collins (at his peak):

yeah well the intro to "Some Like it hot," although futzed with by Bernard Edwards, is all time…he was the guy JP, RP and JPJ fucked around with in the late 80s to see if they could make a go of it…doubt that the fact they didn't is down to him…

The crazy thing about Phil was that even as a solo star and a Genesis star he still toured as Plant's *drummer.*

After Keith Moon died, Phil called up Townshend to offer his services. Pete turned him down at least in part because he couldn't imagine how Phil had time to be the drummer for the Who in addition to Genesis and his solo career.
