Confused about the winter solstice and why some of us celebrate the solstice on one day and others the next? This crazy planet of ours is tilted!  It's all good, though, and what it means is that we can celebrate it two days in a row if we want to.

As with any major event in one's life, there are always things that stand out. For me, it was me feeling so impatient with Jack White's and The Edge's scenes in It Might Get Loud. Yeah, yeah, they're great. Now let's see Jimmy Page. Because to me, it's a movie about him.

I suppose there are Jack White and The Edge fans who think the movie's about them. Bwahahaha! No way!

On This Day 23 January

When "The Tea Party" meant something different than it does today

1969 23 January & 1996 23 January On This Day

  • 1967 The Yardbirds - Sydney, Australia at Sydney Stadium (day 2, 2 sets)
  • 1969 Led Zeppelin - Boston, MA. at Boston Tea Party (day 1 of 4)
  • 1996 Page & Plant - Unledded Tour at Vina del Mar,Chile at Estadio Sausalito
  • 2008 Jimmy Page with Jack White & The Edge - Burbank,CA at Warner Brothers Studio to record “The Summit” scenes for It Might Get Loud

Today was the first of four shows at the Boston Tea Party.  This set was only 40 minutes because of equipment problems.  The On This Day photo (above) is from Led Zeppelin's return to the Boston Tea Party in May, not from the January shows.

2008:
"There's always that point when it might happen to you, when you're too old to pick the guitar up. And we're just trying to keep that day far, far away, and out of sight."
~ Jimmy Page, It Might Get Loud

Thankfully Jimmy Page has not at that point yet.
