Jimmy Page unloaded on Led Zeppelin fans for using drugs at a poor 1971 concert in Berkeley in a new social media post. Jimmy Page revealed who ruined the Led Zeppelin reunion a few days ago.
He wrote on social media, “On this day in 1971, I played with Led Zeppelin at the Berkeley Community Theatre and the seated, uni-like audience seemed pretty non-plussed. It wasn’t a very good communion that night.
Maybe that evening they: a) were contaminated by the negative press we had continually received from the locally-based Rolling Stone; b) were sitting in the remnants of the vibrant San Francisco music scene they had witnessed over the last 5 years; c) weren’t receptive to new music we played – material from the unreleased Led Zeppelin IV; d) were heavily stoned, or; e) all of the above!”
Jimmy Page recently revealed a photo of a terrible Led Zeppelin paycheck. Page also wrote, “On this day in 1999, I played at the soundcheck for NetAid at the Giants Stadium, in preparation for the show the next day. With Michael Lee on drums and Guy Pratt on bass, we were joined as an instrumental trio by The Black Crowes heavyweights Chris Robinson on vocals and Rich Robinson on guitar.”
He added, “On this day in 1999, this is the first of three days with The Black Crowes at the Roseland Ballroom in New York, following a few days’ rehearsals. At this point, recording at The Greek Theatre in LA hadn’t been discussed. We had first played together at the Cafe de Paris in London in the June of this year and their manager, Pete Angelus, had suggested it might be cool to reciprocate. So I did, and here we were at the first concert of a few in New York, Boston and LA.” Jimmy Page recently revealed what he did to Keith Richards’ girlfriend.
