Jimmy Page "Mome Des Villes"



Found this stuck over in my favs. sorta  forgot all about it...anyone with 
more knowledge, **kindly** clue me in. Anyone  heard this, what's it like...got 
an mp3 you can send me or share with the group  etc....?? (obviously I'm only 
interested in Page's part) AND I must admit, I am  NOT familiar with the album 
"Shaking Street"...thus why I  ask.


SHAKIN’ STREET-Solid As Rock – Live & Raw (Bad  Reputation)
SHAKIN’ STREET was the band, in which Ross The Boss of MANOWAR  played, 
before he went to this ultimate heavy metal outfit. The band hailed from  
France, 
and who is not familiar with their album “Shaking Street”? This album is  
re-released right now on CD. Who cares, I hear you think! Allright, but when 
you  
know that the live album “Live & Raw” is added to this CD as a bonus, then  it
’s getting much more interesting. Especially, when two of the live tracks 
have  guest appearances by well-known rock giants like Buck Dharma of BLUE 
OYSTER 
CULT  in “Vampire Rock” and LED ZEPPELIN guitar hero Jimmy Page in “Mome Des 
Villes”.  But that’s on the live part of this CD. First let’s have a short, 
closer look at  the studio album. It contains the nine tracks that are also on 
the LP version of  the album, nothing more and nothing less. “Generation X” 
is the highlight of the  album, together with “I Want To Box You” for the 
great guitar solo in it. An  album, that is full of ‘easy on the ear’ rock 
music 
with loud guitars. SHAKIN’  STREET consisted of Ross The Boss on guitars, 
Eric Lewy on rhythm guitar, Mike  Winter on bass, Jean-Lou Kalinowski on drums 
and Fabienne Shine on vocals. The  same band line up can be heard on the live 
album, added to this CD as a bonus,  which was recorded on two tracks during 
the 
bands North American Tour of 1980.  While the song, they recorded with Jimmy 
Page, was recorded at a studio in  Paris, France. It brings the total running 
time of this eighteen song CD to over  seventy-five minutes, which is very 
good value for your money indeed. The intro  tape for their live set is “Die 
Wahlkühre” of Richard Wagner, the same one that  MICHAEL SCHENKER used during 
his 
earlier live gigs. Live we hear the same sound,  maybe a bit more solid and 
heavier than on the studio album. The greater value  of this disc definitely is 
the live material, and therefor I added an extra  point to their score. Great 
stuff! [9 points] (Toine van Poorten)
