As an avid follower of all things …

What an end to the week…I’m sitting on the bus proof reading TBL 20 when I look up to find the guy in front has his laptop on, and I’m thinking how come I’m still in the paper world? Then I clock the screen to find he’s looking at a selection of naughty pics – and I think fuck the proof reading!
Whoever you were, thanks for brightening up an otherwise dismal week, if the magazine’s full of mistakes – sorry!
Saturday night and the XYZ boys and ladies converged on the …

The first media review of the first night of the much-anticipated Plant/Krauss tour …

A lot going on recently with the first topic being the Uncut interviews. All three reflected the dilemma they face of what might happen next. Robert’s interview with Allan Jones was by far the most compelling. His rare examination of his complex relationship with Jimmy was most enlightening.
“It went off the rails in the end because everybody got a little too relaxed and little too haywire. For me then, it didn’t really work from ‘77 onwards. However there were moments at Knebworth that were spectacular. But the price you have …

The current issues of Uncut and Q include new Zep interviews. Uncut magazine has a cover feature with three new interviews conducted recently with Jimmy, Robert and JPJ.
 
All three reflect on the O2 show and the dilemma of what might happen next. 
Key quotes: “Hopefully one day we could do it again for another really good reason -our profit is metaphysical”(Robert)
“I’m not too sure about anything at the moment, I’ve got no idea what’s going to happen. But I’d certainly like to play with jimmy again”(JPJ)
“If you’re talking about a tour, …

Another hectic week for us all as we complete the text and layouts for TBL 20 (out in mid April) and spend the weekend reading the proofs before it goes to the printers.
This week I’ve been in touch with Graeme Hutchinson who is well up for staging the previously mentioned Zep Fan Convention in London. Graeme hopes to have news of a venue soon with a projected date of mid October. More on this as it unfolds. Another UK attraction this year will be the Zeppelin Memorabilia Exhibition being staged (very appropriately) at Knebworth …

What a week as I got well stuck into a major appreciation of John Bonham’s drum craft that will be a feature in the next issue of TBL 20 (April) as we approach what would have been his 60th birthday. This meant digging out loads of Zep stuff to listen intently to his contributions. What an enjoyable process that has been. A welcome opportunity to marvel again at his percussive skills.
He really was such a driving force – a few examples that I rediscovered:
