On this day 30 July

 We're here, right by you Jimmy!


1984 30 July On This Day Steven Stills' Right By You released, with Jimmy Page on tracks 1, 3 and 10
 ♪  Right By You (Stephen Stills with Jimmy Page guitar) Soundcloud
  • 1966 The Yardbirds - Windsor, England at Royal Windsor Racecourse
  • 1967 The Yardbirds - Seattle, WA at Eagles Auditorium
  • 1969 Led Zeppelin - Salt Lake City, UT at Terrace Ballroom (2 shows one night)
  • 1984 Stephen Stills' Right By You released with three tracks recorded by Jimmy Page at The Sol 
1969:
Led Zeppelin was the opening act to veteran performers, Vanilla Fudge. According to a press review, Vanilla Fudge appeared as musical impostors when compared to a group like Zeppelin. The bass player for the Fudge even apologetically acknowledged this as he mounted the stage and said, “There’s no way we can follow that.”
~Summer Chronicle, by S. Poulsen, August 1, 1969

1984:
The Mill Studios (also known as The Mill or The Sol), located in Berkshire, England, was a recording studio built by Gus Dudgeon, who purchased the property in 1975 to develop a studio for recording/producing a number of Elton John's albums. The property itself is an old watermill on the Thames River system, with a recording studio and control room connected to the old watermill and residential wheelhouse via a bridge over the millpond dam.

Jimmy Page purchased the studio complex in 1980 when he also bought a home, the Old Mill House, a few minutes away.

The Led Zeppelin songs Poor Tom and We're Gonna Groove, originally recorded in 1970, were produced by Mr. Page at Sol Studios for release for the album Coda. The soundtrack for the film Death Wish IIThe Firm’s two albums, and Outrider were also recorded at The Sol.

Jimmy Page visited Japan with Ross Halfin. While he was there they visited the Peace Memorial Park in Naka Ward, Hiroshima, where Page left flowers at the Cenotaph for the A-bomb Victims. The last time he was there was with Led Zeppelin, in 1971, when the band held a “Love and Peace” charity concert in the former Hiroshima Prefectural gymnasium in Naka Ward. Proceeds from that concert, amounting to some seven million yen, were donated to the City of Hiroshima to aid atomic bomb survivors.

On This Day 28 March

Puddletown on the River Piddle.  Just sayin'.

1973 28 March Houses of the Holy released

  • 1968 The Yardbirds - Schenectady NY at The Aerodome
  • 1969 Led Zeppelin - London at Marquee Club
  • 1970 Led Zeppelin - Dallas at Dallas Memorial Auditorium
  • 1973 Houses Of The Holy released
  • 1995 Page & Plant Unledded Tour - Cleveland OH at Gund Arena 

1969:
"Jimmy Page, bent over his guitar and straining for unknown notes, listening hard because he’s right there in the middle of that Led Zeppelin wall of sound, sweat oozing torrential down his face, and dripping off the ends of that long wavy hair down onto the guitar and one expects that guitar to fizz and steam because it’s so near boiling point."
~ Record Mirror, April 1969

1972:
Houses of the Holy was recorded in several locations, including Mick Jagger's Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones' mobile recording unit. Jagger had purchased the estate two years prior. Besides the Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who and other bands recording at Stargroves, the estate was used to film several Dr. Who episodes.

1973:
Houses of the Holy's cover photo was taken at the Giant's Causeway on the northeastern coast of Ireland. Multiple photos of siblings Stefan and Samantha Gates were used to create a composite image. Arthur Clarke's 1953 science fiction novel, Childhood's End, may have provided inspiration for the cover. At the end of that novel, the only remnants of humanity left are children who have evolved to serve a cosmic intelligence, the Overmind, and who are no longer shackled to merely physical existence. Coincidentally, or maybe not, Clarke has said that the aliens' ships in Childhood's End were inspired by barrage balloons he saw over London during World War II. Barrage balloons, of course, look very much like zeppelins.
