Led Zeppelin on YouTube

From Gibson.com:

In still another hopeful sign that something is afoot in the Led Zeppelin camp, the legendary band has posted some 76 videos of itself throughout its career on its very own YouTube channel.
While the front page of the site says the band “joined” YouTube on Jan. 17, 2006, the UK’s Times Online is reporting that the mostly bootleg videos were just posted.
Among the extraordinary nuggets are footage from such noteworthy shows as San Francisco in 1973, the infamous Oakland shows from 1977, all of the Los Angeles shows from 1975 and 1977, Philadelphia 1975, and Iceland 1970, among many others. The videos are interspersed with footage of various interviews with the band, as well as bits and pieces of the live footage available on Led Zeppelin’s DVD.

Christmas Time = Present Time!!!!!!!





Alert: If you're looking for a good present for a fan of good music (such as myself) or want to update your CD collection, Amazon.com has Bob Dylan box sets on sale for $25 right now.

Biograph, the ultimate Greatest Hits collection plus previously unreleased tracks and performances spanned over 3 great discs.

The Bootleg Series, Vol. 1-3, a 3 disc collection of outtakes and rarities covering his career from the early 60's through the late 80's. A great insight into the master's process. Hear "Like A Rolling Stone," Subterranean Homesick Blues," or "Idiot Wind" how they weren't intended and listen to the tracks Dylan thought weren't good enough for the albums (they're still pretty damn good).
Greatest Hits, Vol. 1-3, The three Greatest Hits albums released throughout his career (1967, 1971, and 1994, respectively) collected in one place on 4 discs. These discs are not normal retrospectives looking back on an aging rock star. These were released while he was still putting out great records (and he still is), and are iconic albums in and of themselves, especially Vol. 1 & 2. Who didn't have those on vinyl (or at least steal them from their parents)?

Bob Dylan / Johnny Cash 1969 Sessions


I've been listening to these recordings of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash playing together. Great stuff. It's incredible to hear these two legends interact with each other. Even though Bob Dylan was already a legend at this point, you can tell Cash is the leader. Check them out here: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2008/11/18/bob-dylanjohnny-cash-1968-sessions/
