John Chancellor/The Whiskey



---Love the footage of "The Led Zeppelin" from that nightly news report.
Yeah, I'm old enough to remember John Chancellor too, and how totally
different TV network news was back then. They didn't interview too many
lion-maned, bare-chested "mild barbarians" in them days, to be sure. Plant
is cheeky, as usual. (I mean that in a good way.) I find it hilarious that
they speak with awe about the fact that "50 rock stars earn more than $2
million a year." Reminds me of Dr. Evil: "One MILLION dollars!" Christ, how
many bands gross more than that per show these days? Of course that was back
when an American pro athlete was at the very top if he was making $200,000
per year.
---Who was the other band playing in that live footage? Kinda look like Phil
Lynott/Thin Lizzy, but it was hard to tell, and T.L. were hardly big-time in
'73.
---Good thing they cracked down on the dark doings of the recording industry
soon after that report, eh?

Now, what about this Whiskey release? Audience recording, I assume? Any info
on which of the Whiskey nights it was? And what about those shows in
general? All I know is that Page was sick with the 'flu.
