Jimmy Page & Keith Richards © profelipe ™
My favorite rock band is Led Zeppelin. All albums are perfect. They ended their career with the death of the drummer John Bonham.
After that, they played together somtimes – as in the marriage of Jason Bonham, the Live Aid concert or on the Atlantic Records – and they refused to use the name of the band.
Only in 2007, a special tribute, they used the name of the group and played an hour and a half. It was the event of the year in England. Mick Jagger was there to check out the show.
In the 1970s, there was a rivalry between the bands. However, in fact, Jimmy Page attended as guest of some albums by the Rolling Stones, both in the 1960s and 1980s. He has the admiration of Keith Richards.
Fortunately, I had the opportunity to see the two guitarists playing live. I saw Jimmy Page and Keith Richards sometimes in Brazil.
Regarding the Rolling Stones in 2006, I had bought tickets to see their show in Frankfurt, but I could not make the trip.
I never saw Led Zeppelin or the Yardbirds or The Firm. I never saw John Paul Jones playing live. I love his album “Zooma” and I think the song “Drum n ‘Bass” is perfect.
About The Rolling Stones, the first time I saw their concert was unforgettable. It was in Sao Paulo, a heavy rain fell and I was afraid the show be canceled. A Brazilian band (Barão Vermelho), who opened the show, tried but failed to play under the rain, because of electric shock instruments – something that did not happen with the Stones.
It was the “Voodoo Lounge” tour. Despite the rain, the band came on time and the musicians played normally, Mick Jagger, with a hat, singing, dancing and cheering the audience like a sunny day.
It was very professional, which would be confirmed in other shows I saw them. I remember, besides the music, the giant snake on stage spouting fire and the end of the show with the feast of fireworks – something that has not happened in the show of Copacabana in 2006.
The best show I saw them was in “Bridges To Babylon Tour” in Rio de Janeiro. Bob Dylan opened for the Stones and sang along with them “Like a Rolling Stone”. Perfect.
An image that has marked it was the start of the concert with all the lights off and only Keith Richards came on stage and played the opening chords of “Satisfaction.”
Finally, in the words of the band: “time waits for no one.” It was good to have lived these moments. Life can be cool sometimes…
