Led Zeppelin Live

Been checking out Led Zeppelin Live on VH1 Classic.... Actually I spend a lot of time in front of the tube these days... Lots' of movies and stuff....What's a poor boy do except sing for a rock and roll band you know?

The footage appears to be from the DVD's they released a few years back.... I haven't seen any of this stuff...All I remember is the song remains the same movie I saw back in high school or something...The one with all the silly footage of jimmy page's house and the gangster band manager and the drummers race cars...

This footage is just raw zeppelin on stage playing....AMAZING.... Like totally... The recording is immaculate. And they are right on together... I have hard of the Grateful Dead being in the Cosmo's together in space just jamming yet together...

Not even close to these guys.... I know that a lot of that playing they are doing is not rehearsed... They are simply going into "space" themselves and have cues as to when to end a song.... A lot of it is just straight jamming.... And they do it well... Totally in tune together as to where the other is going...Loud, stopping on a dime, and or just dropping out altogether to let a band mate improvise... Solo...

I'm blown away folks...Good stuff....
Wow, it's great being job hunting.... :D

Saga - Don't be late?

I was sitting around unemployed this morning staring at the TV.... VH1 Classics....They played some band called "Saga".... Didn't even know who the heck they were... Some kind of weird/weak? Queen clone band? Strange world isn't it..

Complacency

A brand new sun
A sweet blue moon
A brand new life
To sing the blues

A lazy dream
Procrastination sings
Sing to the moon
About everything

All I ever do is complain
All I ever do is complain
It's all my complacency...
All I ever do is complain.

A thumping heart
A falling star
Wishes came true
Is where you are.

All I ever do is complain
All I ever do is complain
It's all my complacency...
All I ever do is complain.

Production Sudiction 2

A production of seduction for creative reproduction
A citywide function - Chicks everywhere
With lots of time to spare - To sit and stare.
As the girls walk by my easy chair.

No play today, however.
Perhaps forever?
Yea, yea, whatever.

Whatever gets you through the night.
Is not alright- Without Christ.
Nobody shines.

It's an alien abduction.
During a chemical seduction - Of the brain
Strange lights in the sky.
Tall shadows by the night light.

Endless Questions
Tarot card suggestions
While the Bible gets rejected.
Set aside- To study twilight
The Stars and Moon.
Broken mirrors and a bottle of booze.

If the shoe fits wear it.
If if feels good do it.
Get the blues in tune.
It's never to soon..

-Written.. Davestuff Spring of 1998
