      I had a chance meeting with Zep in Rhode Island very personal they came down my families private driveway and played soccer on our field on the ocean. The busses broke down. They were charming. My great aunt loved Jimmy. Magical.

    I had this album when I was young. My dad worked at a radio station and brought it home. The only bit I could remember was the 19 coats of candy apple red paint for his car. LOL. It's great to hear it again and have the memories flooding back. I even remember the Army Reserve ads now. I wasn't too familiar with Led Zeppelin when dad brought the album home, but they became and still are one of my favorite bands.

    Despite growing up in the NYC area, I never listened to Alison Steele, the Nightbird, much. Past my bedtime. From everything I've heard, she was an absolutely a wonderful person. When WNEW switched formats, she knew almost nothing about rock music. She pivoted very quickly to make it work. She passed much too soon. What a shame.

    • @letitbe777
      @letitbe777 9 месяцев назад +4

      Back in the day on WNEW, she was wonderful! The entire crew at WNEW were the best. I also loved the fact that she ended every night with the song Cast Your Fate to the Wind. James Gang added it on a song on the album James Gang Rides Again. Those were the days. Kudos to Alison Steele, and the rest of the WNEW crew. She had a beautiful, smoldering voice. Rest in peace, Alison

    I've heard many recent interviews of RP, and he always sounds like a thoughtful, polite gentleman. 46 years ago, he sounded like...a thoughtful, polite gentleman. I have a hard time squaring that with Zeppelin's tours being drug fueled debaucheries.

    It's ironic that Robert Plant here acknowledges the chemistry in the band. In later interviews, after the break up of LZ he would say 'Jimmy likes to use the word 'chemistry' but I think it was sheer luck. It's interesting that he talks about the musical influence of the Gypsies (Romani) on him where he lived. His mother was said to be of Romani descent.

The ones I’ve uploaded so far have been digital transfers of records that my aunt got after they aired on her bf’s radio station back in the 70’s.. I’ve edited out the songs for obvious reasons & some of the Army Reserve commercials but the rest is what was on there.. These albums were in varying condition so some have pops and crackles. This one luckily enough is fairly clean and good being Robert Plant as this one people listen to the most. It’s my most viewed video by far.
