You love it. You gotta admit the medley section on How The West Was Won is a sad bit of music history.

Ever heard the story of when Page and Plant got to hang with Elvis for a couple of hours in [edit] LA?

I read Hammer of the Gods.

But not that I remember.

They met Elvis in Vegas.
Got drunk, had a cool time.
Wake up in the morning, it's 1995.
Turns out they were fooled by an impersonator, and not a very good one either.

A lot of Hammer of the Gods is crap.

Quote:

The L.A. Forum played host to some of the greatest shows Led Zeppelin ever put on, and it was also the place where, on May 11, 1974, the band came face to face with its greatest hero.

Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Bonham were in Los Angeles for the launch of their record label Swan Song. The night after the launch party at the Bel Air Hotel, the band, minus bassist John Paul Jones, attended Elvis Presley’s concert at the Forum. At some point, Presley must have been alerted to the presence of the rock group in the audience because during the show – which was taped and later released on record as ‘Live in L.A.’ – he can be heard saying to his band, “Wait a minute. ... If we can start together, fellas, because we've got Led Zeppelin out there. ... Let's try to look like we know what we're doing, whether we do or not.”

Led Zeppelin and the King shared the same promoter, Jerry Weintraub, who set up a meeting after the show between the two parties. Plant later wrote about his impressions of Presley: “I sized him up. He wasn't quite as tall as me. But he had a singer's build. He had a good chest — that resonator. And he was driven.”
Plant also revealed a funny turn near the end of the evening. “At that meeting, Jimmy Page joked with Elvis that we never sound-checked — but if we did, all I wanted to do was sing Elvis songs,” Plant said. “Elvis thought that was funny and asked me, ‘Which songs do you sing?’ I told him I liked the ones with all the moods, like that great country song ‘Love Me’ -- ‘Treat me like a fool / Treat me mean and cruel / But love me.’

So when we were leaving, after a most illuminating and funny 90 minutes with the guy, I was walking down the corridor. He swung 'round the door frame, looking quite pleased with himself, and started singing that song: ‘Treat me like a fool ... ' I turned around and did Elvis right back at him. We stood there, singing to each other.”

I never saw Led Zep or J Tull; the best concerts I saw were probably Neil Young, Captain Beefheart, Dylan, Soft Machine and Roy Buchanan.

Nice, I saw The Magic Band on their last American tour which is as close as I could have ever gotten to seeing Beef live. They were surprisingly on point and top 3 concert material for me.

What year did you see Soft Machine in? Also re: less nauseating direction, you do know what a soft machine is right :D?

^ Yes, I saw a clip of theirs on Youtube and, not expecting very much, was surprised at how good they were. I was lucky enough to see Beefheart twice; first time brilliant, second time patchy if truth be told.

That's easy to date because I was actually at one of the recording locations for Soft Machine Six ( https://www.allmusic.com/album/six-mw0000180049 ), so that makes it Oct or Nov 1972.

I know the name comes, like Steely Dan, from William Burroughs, so I can make a reluctant guess I suppose!

Chula Vista 12-19-2017 08:22 PM

Wish I'd seen all of those bands. Had tickets to see Floyd on the Animal's tour and I FFFFFFFFFFstupidly gave them away.

Stupidly knows no bounds.

^ ftfy.

Yes, London in the seventies was crazy with great bands. Dylan was promoting Street Legal when I saw him, Neil Young with a huge repertoire did two sets; one of quiet solo material, the second blasting away with (I presume) Crazy Horse.
I also saw Floyd, Genesis and Grateful Dead, but don't remember those concerts today...

I had the chance to see a French Canadian tribute band called The Musical Box recreated Genesis' Foxtrot and Selling England by the Pound tour. I never pay any attention to who touring, so I haven't seen many concerts. I feel extremely lucky I got a chance to see them even if there are a tribute band. I had goosebumps all throughout the concert.

A bunch of excerpts spliced together.
The Musical Box performs Genesis

Lisnaholic 12-20-2017 05:24 AM

^ Well, the sound of this is really close to Genesis, and that frontman puts a lot of effort into his performance, so I can imagine it was a great evening.

I suppose a tribute band has to work very hard, both in terms of the number and the quality of their live shows, because the poor guys will never make much money on cd sales I imagine: everyone goes for the original artist.

Chula Vista 12-20-2017 11:49 AM

That clip was great. I got to see Aussie Pink Floyd a few years back and they did The Wall in its entirety. Then for an encore they did DSOTM. Beyong amazing and same thing - goosebumps all night.

I think I even cried during this:

I saw Floyd on the MLoR tour at Festhalle in Frankfurt Germany. Front row. Right in front of Richard Wright.

You may kiss the ring.

Nothing to do with Led Zep, not a concert I went to, but this is surely a goosebump moment in music:-
