It Might Get Really Really Loud


Jimmy Page. The Edge. Jack White.
Guitar players have no reason to read any further. Take the day off work or school, and find the loudest movie theater you can. Go ahead. The film was made for you. It's like "guitar porn."

12.3.1983 - The Cow Palace - San Francisco


A.R.M.S. stood for Action Research into Multiple Sclerosis. MS is a debilitating muscle disease that afflicted legendary Faces bassist Ronnie Lane, for whom the benefit concert was formed. Unfortunately Ronnie Lane passed away on June, 4 1997.
Standing behind Lane on the Cow Palace stage was the most regal reunion of rockers since the Band's Last Waltz in 1976. Among them: former Led Zeppelinist Jimmy Page (making his first U.S. appearance in six years), guitarists Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, singer Joe Cocker, drummer Kenney Jones of The Who, Rolling Stones Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts. more HERE

Remembering Bill Graham...

Today marks the 15th anniversary of Bill Graham's death in a helicopter accident in Northern California....
No one cared about a music fan the way Bill did and no one ever threw a party the way he did either...
Some fond memories...
The Rolling Stones shows on Mick Jaggers birthday and one on Halloween; Led Zeppelin's final US performance; Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page performing on stage together at The Cow Palace; the New Years Eve shows; the 'Day on the Green' shows; The Grateful Dead for 15 nights in 20 days at The Warfield; and Santana performing for free in Golden Gate Park the weekend before Bill's tragic accident are just a few of the special moments he offered to the San Francisco Bay Area...there were 100's of others...
Every live musical experience is better today because of Bill Graham...
We will never forget the good times he created out of thin air...
