On this day 01 October

 Get a thrill at the Brill

1984 01 October On This Day the Honeydrippers' Sea of Love feat. Jimmy Page, released
  • 1966 The Yardbirds - Newcastle City Hall
  • 1984 The Honeydrippers release of Sea of Love feat. Jimmy Page
  • 1998 Page & Plant North American Tour - New Orleans, LA at UNO Lakefront
1984:
A "honeydripper" is a silver-tongued man who charmed women with his sweet talk.

The Honeydrippers project was the brainchild of Robert Plant and Atlantic Records' Ahmet Ertegün and Phil Carson.  The name came from the original honeydripper, Roosevelt Sykes, an American bluesman.  The song Honeydripper was recorded by Joe Liggins in 1945 and topped the US Billboard R&B chart for 18 weeks.

Sea of Love was written by John Phillip Baptiste (aka Phil Phillips) and George Khoury. The 1959 recording of the song peaked at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard R&B chart.

The A side of the Honeydrippers' single was originally Rockin' at Midnight, a cover of Elvis Presley’s Good Rockin’ Tonight with Sea of Love as the B-side.  The producers are listed as Nugetre and the Fabulous Brill Brothers. Nugetre is an anagram of Ertegün and the Fabulous Brill Brothers are Robert Plant & Phil Carson, possibly named for the Brill Building in New York City.

The Brill Building in the theater district of NYC is named after the Brill brothers, early tenants whose business was located on the ground floor in 1931.  The building also housed a number of music publishers, record companies, artists and artists’ managers for decades and had the reputation as a music hit factory. The Brill Building's name is a shorthand term for a broad and influential stream of American mainstream popular music.

Jimmy Page is featured on the Honeydrippers' Sea of Love and I Get a Thrill.

On this day 04 August

 Always a good idea to play it safe when you're sexing.


1986 04 August On This Day Jimmy Page - San Antonio,Ibiza at Heartbreak Hotel
  • 1969 Led Zeppelin - Dallas, TX at Texas State Fair Arena
  • 1979 Led Zeppelin - Knebworth House 
  • 1986 Jimmy Page - San Antonio,Ibiza at Heartbreak Hotel 
  • 2009 Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck & friends at pre-Hall of Fame session

1975:
Robert Plant was seriously injured in a car accident while on vacation in Greece on this day in 1975 and all concerts for the rest of the year were cancelled.
..my kind of vision, or the carefree element I had, disappeared instantly when I had my automobile accident in 1975. That kind of ramshackled "I'll take the world now" attitude was completely gone.
~ Robert Plant - In His Own Words 
1979:
Dave Lewis has written a whole book about Knebworth, so there’s not much more I can add except even after all these years the Knebworth concerts are still emotional events.

1986:
The Spanish island of Ibiza in the Mediterranean Sea is known for its nightclubs and white sand beaches. Ulysses was lured there by the song of sirens and Nostradamus predicted it would be the final refuge of humanity at the end of the world.

In 1986 it wasn't the celebrity party hot-spot it is today, but it was already a destination for those in the know.  In 1985 Robert Plant filmed the video for his single “Sea of Love” (Jimmy Page guitar) on Ibiza, and Jimmy Page was back the following year to play with the jam band, Safe Sex, at the Heartbreak Hotel in San Antonio.
