I remember he had similar things to say about The Jam.In the famous 1980 Melody Maker joint interview “The Punk and the Godfather,” Weller said he didn’t like the Who much, and Townshend said he didn’t like the Jam. Weller was (arguably) at the peak of his career, and Townshend was in the worst shape of his life, addicted to heroin, cocaine, and alcohol. So yeah, both of them revising their opinions 20 years later isn’t inexplicable.

The Rolling Stones hated LZ too iirc.

I distinctly remember Townshend in RS saying that Weller had no sense of humor. Not really harsh criticism, just kind of bitchy.

Weller was obviously lying.I should have clarified that Weller said he did not like the present-day (1980) Who.

"Athena" is a banger. "You Better You Bet" is catchy as hell. But they would have done better to hang it up after Moon died . . . like Zeppelin pretty mch did after Bonham went.

Plant always seems to be more with it and have bigger ears. He did that little Low tribute when Mimi Parker died, to name one recent example. Also always thought he was the one of the two that was into The Cure unless I missed something.

He worked with Port Thompson at the time.

*Porl
I couldn’t decide whether to type Pearl or Porl so I just said The Cure. Although if you search for it all the hits seem to be about touring with the entity known as Page and Plant.

The sound on those Kino clips is amazing, the footage is so hit and miss. It feels like they're stretching out a meagre amount of footage to cover the soundtrack they have. An exciting thing might happen in the song, but all they have is five seconds of JPJ's fingers plucking at his bass strings, or ten seconds of RP's cowboy boots, and then they cut to anonumous hippies in the crown all looking dazed'n'confused, with occasional breakouts of freaky dancing, and often when they cut to RP singing his lips don't match the words being sung. It is endlessly fascinating, though, that other than occasional freaky ecstatic dancers, for the most part the audiences seem knackered or on some bad trip. The lion's share of punters hardly seem to be thrilling to the sounds.

Which often makes me wonder if the clips of the audience aren't equally as random. Maybe a band isn't even playing when the camera gazes on a field of hippies sat down, barely registering anything happening at all. Or maybe the drugs were just better then.

Per YT comments on the D&C clip the audio is from another 1970 date at the Royal Albert Hall.

I have a friend who is strangely resistant to LZ. I saw him make some snide remark online, along the lines of "well, maybe I'll give the first Zeppelin album another shot, but I don't like this band in blooze mode," and I was all, dude, first song, first side!!!!!!!
