On This Day 19 April

On April 19, 1969 the incredible Led Zeppelin II was recorded at Olympic Studios.

• 1967 Jimmy Page - A Degree of Murder Soundtrack released 
• 1968 Yardbirds - Blue Village Teen Club, Westmont Illinois
• 1969 Led Zeppelin - Olympic Studios, begins recording Led Zeppelin II
• 1977 Led Zeppelin - Riverfront Coliseum, Cincinnati, OH
• 1985 The Firm - Kentucky Fair & Exposition Center, Louisville, Kentucky

1967
The soundtrack for A Degree of Murder was composed, produced, arranged, and played by Brian Jones, and features Jimmy Page on guitar.

Jimmy Page in Rolling Stone issue #1171:  "Brian knew what he was doing. It was quite beautiful. Some of it was made up at the time; some of it was stuff I was augmenting with him. I was definitely playing with the violin bow. Brian had this guitar that had a volume pedal-he could get gunshots with it. There was a Mellotron there. He was moving forward with ideas."


1969
Needless to say, this was and is an album beyond belief, after Led Zeppelin's first album, itself beyond belief. For a band to have put out two albums of such high quality, with such a variety of approaches to music, one right after the other, was an obvious indicator that this was no ordinary group of musicians but a creative force the likes of which the world had never seen before.
On this day also for Jimmy Page:


1977
"Jimmy Page, the guiding genius behind the Zep, composer, collaborator, creator, leader and lead guitarist, is perhaps the best in the business. His range on the lead guitar can go from classical to acoustical to extraterrestrial."  [K.Williams/April 1977/News Journal]

On This Day - April 12 1972

I'm thinking of uploading the On This Day images I've captured from jimmypage.com over the years. We'll see if I have the sticking power to do it, and if I do, if this blog is where I should put it.

Note that I will duplicate the entries on the Tidbits page.
2015 note:  I didn't duplicate all the entries on the Tidbits page.  But I did do every single On  This Day post!
