Other things in the vaults

[Nech <tytlane@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The other day's post about the quote in the newest edition of The 
Concert Files got me thinking just what else might be in either Jimmy's 
or other folks' hands that may or may not ever see the light of day.

Some things to consider....

 In DVD, when the cams are strolling the aisles, ever hit pause and try 
to see some of the dates on those film cans ? Check it out, you'll be 
amazed. And just where pray tell are those hallowed halls anyways? I 
don't know myself....anyone care to speculate? restored to perfection or 
not, I'd love to see them all. I mean, almost split my lip trying to get 
some silent home movie footage of them driving into Pittsburg...
And of course , speaking of Pittsburg, TCF also mentions that pro cine 
footage was taken at that gig in '73. Maybe it'll surface with the next 
re-remaster of that show!!

 It has been pretty much confrmed that concerts in Carnegie hall were 
taped....so where is it ?  About 8 years ago I was outright given a name 
and a price tag...no way could I even imagine laying out that kinda 
cash...or even having that kind of fun money. I have so many old pc's at 
home, I don't even know where to begin to see if I can ecover that 
message. But considering I found #69 & 70 of the Sotd's on one of them, 
I should really try.

 It's pretty apparent that Wolfgang's Vault has some pristine gems in 
the house. I wonder if those will ever become available along with the 
other shows the site is saying are gonna eventually be available for d/l 
or purchase.

 But some other not so obscure sources hold great potential...The 
upcoming Montreux thingy got me thinking.
 Promoter Claude Nobs recorded shows I'm told. Don't know when he 
started doing this, but supposedly pro soundboard and master video's 
exist of Plant in '93 and of P/P  in '01. But I also wonder, could he 
have unreleased photos or film of the '75 Jazz festival that JPJ took 
Bonzo to see Count Bassie's band and where JPJ performed a set with Etta 
James ? That would be shweeet to see and/or hear.

 For that matter, I have heard that a full video exists of JPJ's 
3/28/2000 Irving Plaza Show. Anyone care to comment?

 OK, I'm done....hoping to hear what the rest of you want to throw in 
the ring. Leave the skeletons in my vault alone though.
