Speaker 2: played their first live show in Sydney.

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 3: They realized they went back to seventy eight. But I

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: guess thinking about you.

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: Know, they were you know, they were around in eighty

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: you know, kind of the tail end of New Waves,

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: so it you know, that makes sense. But in seventy

25
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: eight they played their first show in Sydney, and I'm a.

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,960

Speaker 3: am too.

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 2: And you know what else I liked from that region.

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: It was Jimmy Barnes who played with Inxcess.

30
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: I forgot about him.

31
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,840

Speaker 2: final performance.

35
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: Oh man, I.

36
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: Don't believe that he knew he was sick when he

37
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: went on that tour. Oh wow, I believe he lived

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: without knowing he had cancer.

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,840

00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: that doesn't ring up bell with me. And everybody loved Cass.

43
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,360

52
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 3: chit chat. Yep. Very interesting.

53
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: Her her birth name was Ellen Naomi Cohen, but she

54
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,720

Speaker 2: seventy four.

56
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: I think there would have been I think there would

57
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: have been a lot of a lot of a lot

58
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: of stuff music out of her if she if she

59
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: survived and lived on, so agreed.

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: Nineteen seventy five, October seventh, John Lennon won his green

61
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 2: card battle against the United States government. Wow, there was

62
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: a movement of foot to keep him out yep. Nineteen

63
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: seventy nine, October seventh, in Through the Outdoor, Zeppelin went

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: to number one on the album charts. And I I

65
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 2: believe this is right around the time that they lost

66
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: John Bonham, right, that's right. The album was released and

67
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: then then it happened.

68
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the album I remember it was so well received, right,

69
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: The packaging was brillioned. It was a deep album, had hits,

70
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: had you know, deep tracks, on it.

71
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: Remember carauslambra on Oh.

72
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was really it was really well received,

73
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: and that was in particular my recollection. You know why

74
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: even more everybody was floored by the death of John

75
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: Bonham because it was such a bright moment that album

76
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: and Zeppelin history in the evening was an they're great

77
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: long one on that, but a bunch of great songs.

78
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: He one.

79
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: But ye, yeah, this was the day I went to

80
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: number one on the US charts. October eighth, nineteen sixty six.

81
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: Cream made their London debut at London Polytechnic College.

82
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 3: That's wild thinking about it out of college. Yeah right,

83
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: you know absolutely.

84
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: You know, I wonder if artists look at dates. You know,

85
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: I'm kind of noticing a little led Zeppelin trend on

86
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: this date in different years. And seventy one they released

87
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: their fourth album with Stairway and Misty Mountain Hop and

88
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: you know, just when the levy breaks, just a barn

89
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: burner of an album. And you know, nineteen seventy nine,

90
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 2: the day before they had released In Through the Outdoor.

91
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: I wonder if if there's a pattern or logic in

92
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: release dates or superstition.

93
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a really good question.

94
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: I wonder whether it has to do with the fact,

95
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: at least in European culture, that holidays are are very

96
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: sacred for citizens of the UK or Europe. They take

97
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: their time, They take a long period of time. Three weeks,

98
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: you know, a month off is not unusual compared to

99
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: the American attitude is grind a week out, you've taken

100
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: your vacation. If you did two, oh my god, how

101
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: could you? So?

102
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: I wonder whether.

103
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: It was lifestyle that yielded or I wonder whether it

104
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: had to do, you know, strategically on airplay releases and

105
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: that was what led it, or I think it was

106
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: the first, but superstition could have been there too.

107
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: You never know.

108
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: You know, you're also going when you do it. You're

109
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: talking about the fourth corner, right, talking about Christmas.

110
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 3: That's old sales and all that stuff.

111
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: So there's probably logic and from a from a marketing

112
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: and purchase album sales perspective, yeah, probably not a beast strategy,

113
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: that's right. Ninth nineteen forty, John Lennon was born in

114
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: Liverpool and by the way, thirty years later, thirty five

115
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: years later, Sean was born on John's thirty fifth birthday.

116
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,839

Speaker 3: Oh everything comes full circle, Yeah, it does, it does.

124
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's any anything worth stopping, you know,

125
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 2: on that four I did, by the way, just watch
