On This Day 13 January

Concert, delayed concert, no concert...

On This Day 13 January 2010 (published 2021)

2010 13 January On This Day Peace Concert announced, Jimmy Page receives an award

1968 Yardbirds - Chelmsford, Essex, England at The Corn Exchange
1970 Led Zeppelin - Portsmouth, England at Portsmouth Guildhall
1980 Fool In The Rain on the US singles chart

2010:

At a press conference announcing the planned Show of Peace Concert in Beijing, Jimmy Page was presented with the first-ever Global Peace Award by Michael Johnson of the United Nations' Pathways to Peace organisation. Johnson was reportedly a big fan of Led Zeppelin. Who can blame him for flying halfway around the world to meet Jimmy Page?

"Although this award has my name on it, this is a tribute to the power of music and its positive effect. Music has been the most powerful language to reach the hearts of people around the world. During my career, I've experienced the connection and harmony that music can bring."
~ Jimmy Page

On This Day 12 January

Waiting to see Jimmy Page in the Hall of Fame again. And again.

1995 12 January On This Day Led Zeppelin inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

1969 Led Zeppelin I released
1969 Led Zeppelin - San Francisco, at The Fillmore (day 4 of r)
1975 Led Zeppelin - Brussels, at Vorst Nationaal
1995 Led Zeppelin - inducted in Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame

1995

Twenty-six years after Led Zeppelin I hit the world, Led Zeppelin finally got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Aerosmith's Joe Perry and Steven Tyler did the induction honors, Tyler opening with a poor imitation of Robert Plant, prompting the latter to whisper, "You wish."

When John Paul Jones took the mic, he made the famous statement that's been quoted so often over the years: "Thank you, my friends, for finally remembering my phone number", referring to the fact that Jones had not been invited to join the Page/Plant Unledded project.

“Well, for my part of this, I must say it's a great honor to be inducted. Actually it's the second time for me, 'cause actually, earlier when I was inducted with the Yardbirds. It's almost like, inducted, induced, and this time it's the forceps. Some of you will get that. But anyway, thank you very much everybody.”

RIP Thin White Duke

David Bowie (1947 - 2016). Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, arranger, painter and actor. Paradigm challenger and creator of new realities.

The Goblin King

Think on this: Instead of announcing to the world that he had cancer, he gave the world more music.

Look up here, I'm in Heaven!

I've got scars that can't be seen

I've got drama, can't be stolen,

Everybody knows me now

Look up here, man, I'm in danger!

I've got nothing left to lose

I'm so high, it makes my brain whirl

Dropped my cellphone down below

Ain't that just like me?!

By the time I got to New York

I was living like a king

Then I used up all my money

I was looking for your ass

This way or no way

You know I'll be free

Just like that bluebird

Now, ain't that just like me?

Oh, I'll be free

Just like that bluebird

Oh, I'll be free

Ain't that just like me?

On This Day 11 January

What's a few years among friends?

1975 11 January On This Day Led Zeppelin at Rotterdam

1969 Led Zeppelin - San Francisco, CA at Fillmore West (day 3 of 4)
1975 Led Zeppelin - Rotterdam, The Netherlands at Ahoy Rotterdam

1975

The Rotterdam show was the first performance after an 18 month sabbatical. Robert Plant was nervous or rusty enough to have forgotten some of they lyrics to Stairway to Heaven.

There seems to be some confusion about photos from the show, including what is on JimmyPage’s website (above), which provides photos from 1972 during a pre-show soundcheck at Oude Rai in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
