On this day 04 September

 Jimmy Page, here, there and everywhere

1964 04 September On This Day Joe Cocker singles released
♪ I'll Cry Instead (Joe Cocker feat. Jimmy Page guitar, 1964) Soundcloud

  • 1966 The Yardbirds - Honolulu, HI at International Center, Exhibition Hall
  • 1970 Led Zeppelin - Inglewood, CA at The Forum
  • 1970 Led Zeppelin with Fairport Convention - West Hollywood, CA at Troubadour Club 
  • 1971 Led Zeppelin - Toronto, Canada at Maple Leaf Gardens
  • 1974 Jimmy Page with Bad Company - Central Park, NYC at Schaefer Music Festival
  • 1998 Page & Plant - Vancouver, Canada, rehearsal at General Motors Place 
1970:
Following the show at the Forum, the four members of Led Zeppelin and Peter Grant showed up at the Troubadour Club for Fairport Convention 's second set and jammed with them. Sandy Denny was Fairport Convention's singer. Denny was later to contribute vocals on Led Zeppelin's The Battle of Evermore. She was the only guest vocalist Led Zeppelin ever recorded with. During later live performances of the song John Paul Jones sang Denny's vocals, with sometimes John Bonham joining in.

During the jam, Bonham attacked Dave Mattacks' drums with his usual enthusiasm. Later Mattacks had to repair the kit and replace the heads. It was reported that the bass drum jumped forward three or four inches with Bonzo's first strike.

The story goes that after the Fairport/Zeppelin jam they all moved to the after hours bar, Barney's Beanery, where Janis Joplin was hanging out. A drinking contest between Fairport's Dave Pegg, Bonham and Janis Joplin ensued. No report of a winner has surfaced.

The jam was taped, and according to Dave Lewis, it ended up in Peter Grant's possession. That recording has not surfaced, either.
