On this day 26 September

 Rock and roll, baby

2006 26 September On This Day Jerry Lee Lewis' album, Last Man Standing feat. Jimmy Page
♪ Cold, Cold Heart  Soundcloud

  • 1998 Page & Plant North American Fall Tour, San Antonio, TX at Alamo Dome 
2006:
Jerry Lee Lewis' 2006 album, Last Man Standing is subtitled The Duets. While each track on the album does, in fact, feature a list of impressive musicians, the album is all Jerry Lee Lewis. The opening song is Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll, but don't expect it to sound anything like what you're used to or to be hearing Jimmy Page's guitar work as more than support to Lewis' piano. Having heard this version of the song once I don't need to hear it again. One of the very best versions that I listen to all the time is Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones with Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins at Wembley in 2008 (see playlist below).

Lewis' album's title refers to the 1950s musicians that helped create rock and roll - Jerry Lee Lewis was the last one still alive at the time of the album's release. Jerry Lee Lewis's last on-stage performance was in 2019, though in March of 2020, it was announced that he and T-Bone Burnett, were recording a new album of gospel covers. Lewis died October 28, 2022.

On This Day 07 June

What a day in musical history!  Today in 1977 was the first night of the six fabled Led Zeppelin shows at Madison Square Garden.  But for me, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones with Foo Fighters at Wembley in 2008 just zings straight to my heart.

From Ross Halfin's diary June 7, 2008
"I climb onto the stage as they take a bow, get them to turn around and face me and get... the photo I want. Walk off the stage with Jimmy and John Paul Jones, stop them on the ramp and take a couple of shots. John says he wished they'd done more, they were just getting going."

Don't we all.
