The posting on Jimmy’s site today regarding the Page & Plant appearance on Chris Evans’s TFI TV show on this day in 1998 prompted me to dig out the Mad Month of March text from TBL 13.
This chronicles an intensive period that saw them perform in Istanbul, the showpiece Shepherds Bush gig plus appearances on Top of The Pops and TFI Friday. Looking over the typically passionate heart on the sleeve DL prose re-presented here, this really was a joyous period. It’s also hugely nostalgic reading on many levels and is a stark reminder …

The third and final part of the TBL Physical Graffiti 37 years Gone Archive Special presents a perceptive overview by Ron Ross published in Phongraph Record March 1975. It was back in early March in 1975 that Led Zeppelin announced they would be playing three shows at Earls Court in late May with tickets to go on sale on March 15. I can still remember the mass exitement of seeing the NME, Sounds and Melody Maker on the news stands – each headlining the announcement. Also out in the UK that week was the …
