Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page discussed Aerosmith members Steven Tyler and Joe Perry in a new Instagram post. Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler was accused many years ago by The Black Crowes icon Chris Robinson of using backing tracks, and he is yet again explaining why he brought up the controversy.
“On this day in 1999, I played at the ‘Scream’ event for the charities Task Brasil and ABC Trust at the Café de Paris in London.
Also volunteering for that evening were the feisty Stereophonics; it was an early outing in London for them, and everybody took notice that night.
Steven Tyler and Joe Perry from Aerosmith jammed a few numbers with me, as did Chris and Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes. It was really kind of all these guys to help the event out and make it one incredible concert. It was as a result of this event that I was to team up and tour with the Black Crowes in the US.”
He also recently wrote, “On this day in 1969, @LedZeppelin recorded The John Peel Sessions at Maida Vale, London.
We recorded this show at Maida Vale studio to promote Led Zeppelin II. In typical Led Zeppelin tradition Travelling Riverside Blues was made up on the spot from a riff I had on the electric twelve string.
We had reached a point at the BBC where you could overdub a solo over the initial track of the song. This helped a lot to give a more complete rendition of our material and I must say the BBC engineer Tony Wilson did a really good job for us on this day. The BBC producer was John Walters.
