On This Day 17 November

Pod. Pod. And carrots.

1994:
Jimmy Page played two encore songs with Aerosmith at the Velez-Sarsfield Stadium (Sweet Emotion and Blues Jam) AND appeared with Robert Plant in Sydney Australia on Andrew Denton's late night TV show - both on 17 November.

Some kind of Magick - two places at once?

According to Dave Lewis, in his book The Tight But Loose Files, the Sydney show was on 16 November. So maybe the show aired the next night. Then again, according to the Get A Grip Tour Dates, Aerosmith played in Buenos Aires on 18 and 19 November, not on the 17th.

But maybe it did all happen on 17 November. Maybe it was just Jimmy Page Magick.

On This Day 16 November

Can you whistle a few bars for me?

1971 Jimmy Page/Led Zeppelin - Ipswich, England at St. Matthew's Baths Hall

1984:
The Old Grey Whistle Test was a TV Show that aired on BBC2 from 1971 to 1988. The name supposedly was from a Tin Pan Alley phrase from years before.

Tin Pan Alley was a group of New York City music publishers and songwriters of the late 19th century and early 20th century. The Whistle Test was the playing of the first pressing of a record to an audience of the buildings' doormen, who wore grey suits. If the song was catchy enough for it to be whistled back after hearing it a couple times, it passed the test.

I cant' say Roy Harper's music would pass the Mage Music Whistle Test, but Jimmy Page's? You betcha. Every time.

On This Day 15 November

A day of rest across the years. Or, if not rest, then at least out of the spotlight.

1978 15 November On This Day Jimmy Page producing In Through The Out Door at Polar Studios

1966 The Yardbirds- Bowling Green, KY at University of Kentucky
1978 Jimmy Page at Polar Studios to produce In Through The Out Door

1978:

Ozone Baby, Darlene, and Wearing and Tearing were recorded during the Polar Studio sessions. The tracks were not included on In Through The Out Door but appeared on 1982's Coda.

1979:

Led Zeppelin's eighth studio album was originally titled Look. It was released as In Through The Out Door with album artwork designed by Hipgnosis. Both music and artwork reflect who Led Zeppelin really was at the time. Never, ever, predictable. Never, ever going to explain.

Then and now: If you don't get it, you won't get it.

Photos & videos from 11 November 2015 Classic Rock Awards

Jimmy Page accepted the 2015 Reissue of the Year award for Led Zeppelin at the Classic Rock Awards at the Roundhouse, London on 11 November.

2015 11 November

This was the second year in a row Led Zeppelin received the award, so the whole studio catalog is now included.

"This is a real thrill," Jimmy Page said. "When I put it together, I was really hoping it would warm people's hearts if you like, and the reaction to it by the fans has been phenomenal."
