Some old folks having fun" was the parting line of Jon Snow as he closed the channel 4 news programme tonight.
He was referring to a feature on the Led Zeppellin concert. :p

Did I ever tell you about when I saw Misters Page, Plant and Bonham?
Well...when I saw them I didn't actually attend the concert.. it was October 1969 at the Lyceum in the West end of London and I was living in a squat and was totally skint at the time, so we went to the back of the building and heard the "noise" through the walls.
Until the end of the concert that was, then, on playing the last song the entrance doors were opened to let the audience out and we rushed in :)) just in time to see them do an encore :yes:
I don't remember that much about it but I do remember this amazing long-haired God of a figure stood on stage with guitar in hand and the atmosphere was electric.
They sure don't look like that now although i'm sure the gig will be just as electric .

Oh and did you see Joni Mitchell on tv last week?
I saw her in concert in the early 70's and she personified everything I thought a modern young woman should be back then, so pure and natural :yes:...so it was scary seeing her as this post middle-aged lady now dressed all in black wearing a black fedora instead of a bandana, smoking away while being filmed and who revealed that she had been smoking cigarettes since she was nine years old88|
Joni's comeback album has arrived courtesy of the coffee chain Starbucks's label 'Hear Music'. She was unrepentent when asked if there was any difference between a major record label and a fast-food multinational these days, as there is something a little odd about a woman who complained long and hard about the exploitative nature of the music business throwing in her lot with Starbucks, a company that has, over the years, faced a series of charges of unfair labour practice.
"well", she said "It was a very good deal"
Ah well, as Jon Snow just said "Some old folks having fun";)
