On this day 06 December

 The boys were hot, weren't they!


1991 06 December On This Day Jimmy Page at Little Mountain Studios

  • 1969 Led Zeppelin - Chatenay-Malabry, Paris at L'Ecole Centrale Chatenay-Malabry
  • 1983 Jimmy Page ARMS Charity Concert - Inglewood, CA at The Forum (day 2)

1991
In March of 1991 Jimmy Page jammed with Les Paul at Paul's Fat Tuesday's gig and while in NYC Coverdale and Page began talking about a collaboration. They first got together to see if they could write new music at Coverdale's Lake Tahoe residence, resulting in "Absolution Blues". They moved to Barbados to continue the work until May, when they returned to Nevada. The two jammed in Reno with the band, Poison. JP fell into the stage pit - but climbed out and continued to play. There may have been chemical substances involved. At the end of May JP joined a local band, Solid Ground to play the whole set list. 

By November, Coverdale and Page had begun recording their first and only album, using analog equipment to get the sound they were looking for. Rhythm tracks were recorded at Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver, vocals and overdubs were recorded at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida. Additional recording took place at Abbey Road Studios in London, and Highbrow Productions, Coverdale's home studio in Nevada. 

Coverdale/Page was released 15 March 1993 to mixed reviews. Mage Music thinks it's a damned good album, for what that's worth.

Hot out there

It's hot out there.  Hot in here, too.

On This Day 14 December

Hot. The music is hot. The boys aren't so bad, either.
1993 14 December On This Day Coverdale - Page tour begins in Japan

  • 1993  Coverdale Page Tour - Tokyo, Japan at Nippon Budokan 

1993
Personnel on the Coverdale - Page tour: David Coverdale vocals, Guy Pratt bass, Brett Tuggle keyboards and Danny Carmassi drums.  Oh, and that guy on the guitar: Jimmy Page.

If you've been following this blog, you know I love the Coverdale - Page album.  The live shows a little less, because David Coverdale isn't my favorite frontman.  However, David Coverdale added a certain mature poignancy to the vocals that no other singer brought to Jimmy Page's guitar work, while at the same time diving in and mucking about in the bluesy grit of the music. The Coverdale - Page combination is almost indecent. 

For that alone, David Coverdale gets my respect. I still prefer Jimmy Page instrumentals, mind you, but I can happily listen to a lot of Coverdale - Page.
