![]() ![]() In 1976, close to the beginning of my first semester at the University of Illinois, I went to a radio station open house. If you have a music-related web-page where this fits – please make a link to the article.1) What was your first job in radio, and what led you to a career in radio in the first place? If you have a large collection of the following magazines, don`t throw them out, but contact me as I would be very interested in these: Creem, Circus, Hit Parader and Metal Edge.

The original music paper this article came from (pictured at the top) is for sale! “Modern Alchemist” was a show-case for Jack’s driving tenor, then Pig played that old Cream favourite “Cat Squirrel” It would see, on the basis of this evidence, that bright things are in store for Blodwyn Pig.Ĭompleting the bill was the Liverpool Scene, a quintet who inject a lot of humour into their music like “Lullaby For Richard Nixon,” “The Day We Danced At The Dole,” and introduced a “new supergroup” Blind Adam Faith featuring Eric Clapped Out. The words heavy, progressive and free form came into my mind during the first couple of numbers, including the fine “See My Way” which featured Jack Lancaster on tenor and soprano sax at the same time like a junior Roland Kirk.įrom the group’s forthcoming album, “Ahead Rings Out,” they played “The Change Song” with Mick on acoustic guitar and Jack on violin - an unusual but effective combination with a folk-blues feel. I was very interested to see Mick Abraham’s Blodwyn Pig and find out how the ex-member of Jethro Tull was making out on his own. The last number, “How Many More Times,” was received wildly and at the end the audience rose as one and cheered and chapped for several moments. ![]() Joan Baez’s “Babe Gonna Leave You” was followed by Jimmy’s solo, “White Summer,” for which he sat down and proved his virtuosity. The two have a novel way of singing and playing together - Robert utters a few words, usually gibberish, and Jimmy has to repeat them as nearly as possible on his guitar. ![]() Robert Plant stretched, reached out and leaned as he belted out and literally screamed the vocals.īarefoot Robert squeezed all sorts of notes out of “Dazed And Confused” from the first album and Jimmy played partly with a bow to get a weird bouncing effect. John Paul Jones held his bass like a machine gun at his side and fired long bursts of heavy bass lines. Jimmy Page wore his guitar at hip level, crouching over it and occasionally walking about a la Keith Richard. The passengers were Blodwyn Pig, the Liverpool Scene and a full house.Īn almighty wall of sound and a huge crashing of drums signalled the start of the group’s act which eventually over-ran by quite some time. On Friday night at Birmingham Town Hall, at the start of a 5 date tour, the group certainly took off all right. ![]() A short concert review that surprised me a little as I thought it only reviewed Zeppelin because of the title.Īs a bonus you also get short reviews of the gig that the other bands did, Blodwyn Pig and Liverpool Scene.ĪCCORDING to the ads, the only way to fly is by Led Zeppelin. ![]()
