I'm reading a 2005 book about Zeppelin by Keith Shadwick. Sometimes I wanna punch the author in the face! He ain't much of a fan of the band he's making money off of.
He evidently never met the band members.
Gotta give him credit for meticulous research tho, digging thru old Mojo & Melody Maker mags & so on....
Anyway....He came up with some interesting info which may or may not be true.
He said JPJ wanted to leave the band in the mid 70s!
MIGHTY glad he decided to carry on....he's one of my fav musicians!
Glad the REUNION happened too & hope to see 'em again.
They were AWESOME when they played 3 hour shows!!!
Saw 'em do that TWICE in 1970!!
In '71 I saw 'em play for 3 & a half hours!!!! Best Shows Ever!
The Page & Plant shows of the mid 90s were great even tho there was a different Jones on bass--
Charlie did a great job & I love that dvd.
A Zep Reunion Tour still ain't happening....but if it does JPJ better be part of it!!!!!
