May 26th

 

 It was on May 26th,, 1995 that my brother Captain Citrus and I saw Jimmy Page & Robert Plant on their No Quarter Tour rock the hell out of the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver. This show still rates in my top ten concerts ever.

 In concert news...Robert Plant & Alison Krauss will be playing the Edmonton Folk Music Festival on Sunday August 11th.

18 Years Ago Today...May 26th

It was eighteen years ago today that I saw Jimmy Page and Robert Plant play Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, this was an amazing show and rates up there with one of the best I have ever seen.



As well it was thirteen years ago today that I saw the Punk-O-Rama tour in Edmontnon at the Golden Garter, bands on the bill were the Dropkick Murphys, The Distillers, The Dwarves and The Bouncing Souls.

Concert Shirt Of The Day Oct.15th (Page & Plant)

Today's t-shirt is from the Jimmy Page and Robert Plant concert my brother and I went to in Vancouver at Pacific Coliseum in 1995. I still rate this as one of the best shows I have ever been to. Page & Plant were touring for their Unledded album (unplugged), which was an album of Led Zeppelin tunes done acoustic and recorded with Moroccan and Egyptian musicians. I wasn't expecting the rock show that we got, they came out and rocked the shit out of Pacific Coliseum.

I went to this show with four doobies rolled and left the show with 3 doobies, having given one to a couple from Calgary that we met while waiting for the show to start. People were lighting up before the concert even began. The people next to me just kept passing joint after joint to me through out the whole show, I didn't even get a chance to light one of mine. After the show, I gave them one of my joints and thanked them, telling them I didn't get a chance to pass one to you.

Meanwhile my brother who was 3 rows behind me was drinking JD right out of the bottle that someone had passed to him during the show. Just an incredible concert.

Old School Album Of The Week For Mar.8th - 12th

I pulled out an album last week that I haven't listened to in ages. Jimmy Pages only solo album he has ever put out released in 1988 called Outrider. It's surprising that this is the only solo album he has out considering how long he has been playing and how many artists he has played with, but this is it.
It's not a bad album but not overly great either, he doesn't do any of the singing on this album. he actually has two different singers on it, side one has John Miles on vocals while side two has a fellow named Chris Farlow. Both singers do a good job on the tracks they sing on. While Robert Plant appears once on a song called The Only One. John Bonham's son Jason plays drums on all tracks but two.
Jimmy plays some good guitar on the album but nothing that really stands out, it's mostly a blues album which should come as no surprise.
Stand out tracks to me are Wasting My Time,Hummingbird and Prison Blues.
