sounds like the Beatles...after they broke up...each of them had said that the other guys were great but that they individually had lost it,..started slippin...and they always felt like they were bringing the band down.

Maybe its a common thing when you think highly of the talent you work with every day
I consider myself a Led Zeppelin historian. I loved their music and had all their cassettes before my first memory. Very early memories are centered around watching the song remains the same movie. I think you are right about the Beatles and Zeppelin. It's very sad how much tragedy both of those bands dealt with.

drugs and excessive lifestyle had a lot to do with the decline of LZ and the lions share was Jimmy Page. Page was the band's visionary and the band set a precedent of sorts (over the first 7 years) that they could not live up to as time went on. Page's life was centered around the band and when he slipped into drugs and isolation, it spiraled from there. Bonham and Page kind of had a booze/drug isolated friendship in the latter years that drove a wedge between the other 2. Plant had a lot of problems in his home life that were not Page's fault, but Page and Plant had a strained relationship because of how isolated Page became in the end and apparently wasn't as supportive of Plant as Bonham and Jones were. Bonham kept the band together, he's the one that convinced Plant to stay after Plant lost his child. Jones was the aloof one that from the start of the band kind of did his own thing away from the band. He actually had to be convinced to stay in the band after the 1973 tour. he took a very long hiatus. he wanted to leave the band and be with his family. Ironically towards the end of the band's tenure, it was Jones and Plant that had a second wind and did a lot of the heavy lifting since Page and Bonham were suffering with heavy addiction. That said when Bonham focused, he was always a hell of a drummer. I think his drumming got better over time, he just struggled mightily with sobriety. Same said about Page. They all had the ability to innovate and keep pushing the envelope with their music.

It's kind of simple, but if you watch the song remains the same movie the four guys personalities show out for what they were. Plant's love of nature and history, Page fancied himself a hermit, Jones merely wanted to be with his family, and Bonham loved his family, his pub, his ranch, and his cars.

“Ramble On” - Robert Plant with Saving Grace (LIVE on The Late Show)

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
that's really cool how he always manages to evolve his songs. I know that's one of Page's favorite as well. and Jones has to be thinking, why did I cut that bass riff every time that he plays it. It's hard to keep the time on that riff.

Every single time I signed up to scam RCA or Columbia House out of 12 tapes for a penny...
2112 was usually the first album selected...
That and Van Halen 1 were mainstays in my collection and I must have played through a dozen tapes of each before CD's came available.
2112 ranks up there in my all time favorite albums..
Some of those old albums were so good they were the only one you needed to represent the band..although many were greatest hits albums..but I always got..
2112
Bad Co. 10 from 6
Frampton comes Alive
Hall & Oates, Rock & Soul part 1
Best of B.T.O.
The Wall...add in Darkside later...
Collection was never complete without those albums
Purple Rain later...

Nice! Rush is my favorite band and 2112 is my favorite album from them. The tour in 96 (or was it 97) was amazing since they played the entire song during it.

Saw Rush with Blue Oyster Cult in Norfolk...86??
I think it was the Power Windows tour?

as far as "Shows" go...it was one of the most basic I have ever seen.. pretty much just smoke and lasers.
But damn...they can do some crap with smoke and lasers!!

Just checked... April 19th, 1986.... Hampton Virginia.


kind of a nifty..if you are curious about previous tours...

that page seems to have all past tour info...even the fact that the encore at the show was like 8 songs long and included Tom Sawyer and The Priests of Syrinx(which was way ahead of its time by the way)

but it doesnt show supporting acts... probably have to look up B.O.C.'s website and cross reference dates and locations... but yeah,..it was Blue Oyster Cult

Thanks, going by that it was '97 the show I'm remembering. They list it as part of the Test for Echos tour but it was really it's only tour. They had come through in 96 too for TfE. Th 97 show I remember being billed as a night with Rush. The show was great, they did no opening act and instead did a 3 hour show that was just them. They did it was 2 sets with a small intermission between them. They closed set 1 of it with 2112 in its entirety before taking the break.
