11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 3: the eleventh, another great week for mainly classic rock.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: Let me just imagine this one. I think is going

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: to have its fair share of the pillars of classic rock.

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 3: Zeppelin, Stones and Beetles are going to be covered this week.

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: A little teaser for the week. All right, let's bring

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: it on. Let's start nineteen seventy three. We talked about

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: the led Zeppelin Pontiac Silver Dome show from seventy seven

18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: on last week's episode where you know, seventy nine thousand

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 3: or whatever they played at the Silver Dome.

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: May fifth, nineteen seventy three.

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 3: Four years before that, Zeppelin played for over fifty six

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: thousand fans in Tampa at the Tampa Stadium and that

23
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 3: broke the Beatles attendance record at Tampa Stadium.

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: It's insane.

25
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: Let me thinking about it, right.

26
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just a crazy, crazy thing. I would love,

27
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: you know, I give anything to see led Zeppelin again.

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: Have you seen becoming led Zeppelin yet? Oh? Guy, into you?

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: I know you loved it. I loved it, and I

30
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: don't you know. As a rule, you're one of those guys.

31
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: By the way, for those listening, Buzz doesn't use his

32
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 3: phone much at night at home versus most of us.

33
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: Like, if you want to text me at nine o'clock

34
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: or ten o'clock at night.

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: You know, I'll always respond, But you I think you know,

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've got a rule in your house,

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: you and your wife, you're like, we're just going to

38
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: be and we're going to be present, which, by the way,

39
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: is good.

40
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: I'm condemning you. That's it. It's exactly it.

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: By the way, you might catch your response for me

42
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: at you know, one point thirty.

43
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: In the morning too, you know, yes, yeah, I know,

44
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: the insomnia kicks in and I get I get emails

45
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: and texts at that hour. But yeah, so I texted

46
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: you it was late in your time. It was ten

47
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: o'clock your time. I had just gotten through watching Becoming

48
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: led Zeppelin, I thought, Buzz needs to find this immediately.

49
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: It's a great, great documentary.

50
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: I will see it for sure. It's not going to

51
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: be as painful as me watching the Dylan one and taken.

52
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 3: From no phenomenal footage and storytelling and the origins of

53
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 3: led Zeppelin.

54
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: And you know, Jimmy Page.

55
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 3: Was part of a group of people that played music

56
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 3: in the early days before he was in led Zeppelin.

57
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: It's crazy, you know, you get you get the truth

58
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: behind the led Zeppelin name, which was Keith Moon who

59
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: came up with that, which is crazy. So yeah, a

60
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 3: lot of good information. Well we'll have a maybe we'll

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: have a little episode or a little section of an

62
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 3: episode on that if you see it sounds good. In

63
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: sixty five, on May sixth, the Stones played their first

64
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: concert in Paris.

65
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: Big deal for them to play Paris. That's wild. I

66
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: wish I wish I was there for that, that's for sure.

67
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: Jimmy Hendrix in sixty seven released Are You Experienced in

68
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: the UK. Think about the tracks on that Foxy Lady,

69
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: Manic Depression, Are You Experienced? And Fire one of my

70
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: favorite Hendrick songs.

71
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: And I feel like he's one of those people. We

72
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: know of his great legacy certainly, but I think back

73
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: then he was one of those people that many folks

74
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: were like, Wow, this is like so out of nowhere.

75
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: This the way this guy tears it up, the way

76
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: he writes, the way he takes you through different emotional

77
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: swings in terms of his his songwriting and his music.

78
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: And you know, like many gone too.

79
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: So you know, he's one of, you know, really one

80
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: of the three guitar players that just stand out as

81
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: being so different than anyone else that ever picks it

82
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: up right. It's you know, it's Hendrix, It's Eddie Van

83
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: Halen and Stevie ray Vaughan.

84
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: As far as I'm concerned, yeah, I would top of

85
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: the list.

86
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: Bob Seger was born on May sixth, nineteen forty five.

87
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: He's a guy, you know, I love love his music.

88
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: He has not aged well. You know, you look at

89
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: his peers. You know again, you look at Springsteen or

90
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 3: any of those people in that in that time period,

91
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: and Bob's.

92
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: Not looking good. And he's done now, he's done touring.

93
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: He's not gonna play again.

94
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 1: I was at a Springsteen show probably ten years ago

95
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: or so in Detroit, and I saw one of the

96
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: coolest things. From where I was sitting, I saw where

97
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: Bob was, and I witnessed Bob taking in the show,

98
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: and the joy that he experienced was so contagious to

99
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: watch because he was just in the zone, smiling, singing along,

100
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: and then later he would go out and join Bruce Fair.

101
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: I forget which song.

102
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: I think I know which White Witch. I bet it

103
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: was Rambling Gambling Man.

104
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, that's that's a song that Bruce plays when

105
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 3: he's in Detroit.

106
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: But it was very sweet moment. Yeah, that's that's neat

107
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: to hear.

108
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 3: In nineteen thirty seven, the Hindenburg Disaster occurred in New Jersey,

109
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 3: and I think a lot of people wonder about the

110
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: cover of led Zeppelin one, and that is actually a

111
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: picture of the Hindenburg Disaster. They just for the album.

112
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: They made a black and white, kind of distorted picture

113
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 3: of the Hindenburg.

114
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 2: Great cover. Yeah.

115
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 3: May seventh, nineteen seventy one, the Stones released Sticky Fingers

116
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 3: in the US, and Bill Krutzman from The Grateful Dead

117
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 3: was born in forty six.

118
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: I don't know either one of those you want to

119
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: talk about. I was never be Grateful Dead. Fan at all.

120
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: I never get into them.

121
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 3: The hits I liked, but you know, Sugar Magnolia and

122
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: Truck and I enjoyed, But I wasn't a fan of

123
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: getting high and spending three hours at a dead show

124
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 3: we're standing in the parking lot or wearing sandals.

125
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 2: I just didn't it was my thing. Yeah, well I

126
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 2: only went to one. How was it?

127
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: It was a terrible experience because we rode a bus

128
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: from Dayton to Cincinnati and you know, arrived for the

129
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: show and pretty much the rest goes up and smoke literally.

130
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: And that was going to be my next question is

131
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: was there smoking goal already?

132
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 3: Then?

133
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: What up in smoke? So? Yeah.

140
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:08,000
