Stairway to Heaven - Music was stolen

[raleighnut]

JT/IA are my favourite band. And guess which band supported them on tour in the early 70s...?

The Eagles. Funny that.

Is it possible to put a blower of the (skin) flute in with musicians of that class. I don't think so.

Anderson, the multi instrumentalist flautist, saxophonist, whistle player, guitarist (electric and virtuoso acoustic), bassist, keyboard and piano player, drummer, and inventor of the claghorn is several levels of magnitude above the likes of The Eagles in terms of instrument playing prowess. That is perhaps why the Eagles supported JT on several tours throughout the 70s, and never the other way around.

Bit like the Eagles used to do in the dressing room.

Trust me, you want Anderson, not Glen Frey, on your side in a bar fight!

That is why I pointed out that the change is the fact that it is now in Court

The accusations have been around for years, but today is the first time the Courts have been given a stake..... and there is a difference between admission and the potentially £600,000,000 damages that are being suggested as a potential outcome

I wonder why it's taken 44 years to progress that far?

I'd sooner be outside getting stoned with Randy California but if it had come to scrapping I'd want this guy on my side.

Why would anyone want to be associated with this ?

Rolf at 3:00

"There's a lady I'm sure that I've met her before - Yes I did...."

But he denied it later in court

Totally OT...

My favourite Led Zep "cover"

Ofra Hazra's Kashmir

 

[slowmotion]

My thoughts are that Stairway To Heaven is crap, as was everything else Led Zep did, with the exception of Kashmir, which was good.

With the benefit of a few pipes of Afghan Black, Kashmir did sound strangely exotic. Without chemical enhancement, it just sounded like the turntable was running at half speed.

Anyone remember this dreadful dirge...
