We've actually seen the Terry Reid thing, at another club out here though...

They do a lot of 60's songs.

He's like the guy who introduced Plant to Page, or something like that. The original singer of Zepplin, I forget what exactly... But the funniest part is when you meet him he's a TOTAL FLAMER...

Can you imagine Zepplin with a gay frontman? hehehe it wouldn't be the same. He does a good Donovan cover though, if you care for that sort of thing.

The night we saw them Tom Petty's guitarist dropped by. Just a bunch of old rock guys, very talented and just love to play shows. A lot of strange people come out to see them play, its kind of cool.

But tonight we are doing punk rock at one of my favorite spots. Should be cool.

from Terry's site:

However, 1968 was the year fate dealt Reid his first hard kick in the teeth...although he certainly didn't view it as such at the time. It's a story which by now, I guess, more or less everyone has heard: Jimmy Page - with whom Reid had toured a year or so earlier - was in the process of putting a new band together in somewhat of a hurry, in order to fulfill The Yardbirds' contractual obligations. He'd already identified John Paul Jones as his bassist, and pencilled in B.J. Wilson as the drummer. So, he approached Reid and offered him the vocalist's spot (one wonders what Led Zeppelin would have sounded like with two guitars onstage) only to be rebuffed; in addition to his commitments to Most, Reid had a couple of US tours lined up, and was confidently expecting to make it as a solo performer. However, that same night Reid did a gig in Buxton on which he was supported by the Band of Joy (N.B.--some sources cite the band that night as Hobbestweeedle, not the Band of Joy ); he took one look at/listen to Robert Plant and Bill Bonham and got straight on the phone to Jimmy Page - and the rest, like they say, is history....
