Jimmy Page @ Fnac Ternes, Paris, June 23 2015

Jimmy Page @ Fnac Ternes, Paris, June 23 2015
 45 min Q&A with Jimmy Page on his last day of his promo trip in Paris.
Jimmy is back in Paris to promote the last 3 Led Zep records to be treated with a box-set release "Presence"", "In throught the outdoor" & "Coda".
Interview done with a gut from Oui fm who did a good job, some of the questions came from the audience, from competitions winners, with everything prepared in advance with Jimmy reading the question in English on a piece of paper while the lucky winner was asking Jimmy in French.
Between answers they've played some of the songs from the companion disc which wasn't really necessary.
Jimmy was nice and chatty even though we didn't learn anything new.
Once again he said that now that his job is done with the remastered LED ZEP , he will concentrate on his own music and there will be something new for 2016, hope so...
Full video of the Q&A should be available soon on the fnac website

Jimmy Page @ Shakespeare & Company, Paris, Oct 30 2014 1:00pm

Jimmy Page @ Shakespeare & Company, Paris, Oct 30 2014 1:00pm

After attending RTL's master class yesterday night for an hour, we're lucky to attend one more Q&A with Jimmy page , this time at the old library fronting Notre dame de Paris: Shakespeare & Company
Staff is nice and friendly, people are queuing outside, not TOO many people, I thought there would be a riot outside, in fact no, I guess it wasn't that much publicized. 
A cab is dropping him and his assistant just in front of the store, he's looking good, shaking people's hands and having a nice word to some of us.

First we have  "questions & Answers" for a bit more than 30 min, the place is tiny so I guess only 60 to 80 people in the store with the first 20 seating down just in front of Jimmy page, he's just a couple of meters in front of us,  while people outside can listen to the PA.


 
Of course no pictures or recording but we managed to get some, , we're ROCKERPARIS.
"Stamping" book: a world premiere: What the FUCK ?!!!?
No autograph but Jimmy has a kind word to each one of us and shaking hands , stamping a book, never seen that before. What a joke, a fucking stamp on a book. anyway...
Great afternoon with Jimmy , very rare and wonderful to see him in such good conditions
so thanks to S&Cy for that opportunity.
Après avoir passé la soirée en compagnie de Jimmy la veille à RTL, rebelote en cette fin de matinée avec une rencontre dans la librairie Shakespeare & Company, juste en face de Notre Dame. Pas trop de monde heureusement c'est tout petit. Jimmy arrive à l'heure en taxi , grand sourire, il sert quelques mains. Les personnes arrivées vers 10h du matin commencent à s'installer à l'intérieur, ce n'est pas tout petit, c'est minuscule , pas plus d'une vingtaine de chaises pour les premiers arrivés , les suivants une quarantaine, sont débout, quant aux autres ils restent sur le trottoir mais peuvent écouter l'interview grâce à des haut parleurs disposés devant le magasin. Jimmy est juste devant nous à deux mètres, c'est assez incroyable d'être si près de lui pendant la quarantaine de minutes que dure l'entretien conduite par un journaliste Anglais. L'enregistrement audio devrait sortir sous peu sur torrent, on connait au moins un petit malin qui a tout enregistré.Merci à lui.
Puis c'est au tour de cette nouvelle fumisterie "le temponnage" de livre, parce que Jimmy ne signe pas, en tout cas pas à ses fans. Tout le monde fait sagement la queue après avoir acheter son livre 50 euros et c'est parti, des petits malins essayeront tout pour ce faire signer quelque chose, peine perdue, jimmy est adorable , a toujours un mot gentil, une poignée de main franche, mais pas de signature.
Comme souvent les photos sont interdites, bon, on est ROCKERPARIS ou pas, on a filmé les premières minutes de l'entretien avant que l'assistant de Page nous dise d'arrêter.
Le voir dans ces conditions était assez incroyable, un grand merci à l'équipe de la librairie, très sympa mais putain Jimmy c'est quoi cette fumisterie du Tampon !!!
L’escale parisienne de Jimmy n'aura pas duré deux jours, départ pour Londres par l'Eurostar de 16h.
Ce soir il dort chez lui.


The first few minutes of interview before I'm being "told" to stop recording, LOL:

Jimmy Page @ RTL "Les Nocturnes", Paris Oct 29 2014

Jimmy Page @ RTL "Les Nocturnes", Paris Oct 29 2014
 Jimmy Page will be @ RTL's studio to answer questions from fans and journalists.

An hour in the company of Jimmy Page with MC Georges Lang with questions from the audience, the room is packed, with vips who get all the best seats down the front and guests (us) in the back.
Too bad Jimmy & Georges were on the same level as the seated audience, they should have been on a small platform, so we couldn't see that much, in fact the best view was in the back standing up, it wasn't a problem as the room is very small with only 150 people.
We all get a t-shirt on the way in and posters on the way out which was really nice from the record Cie.
Everyone without a ticket could get in so that was very nice from RTL who know how to treat people.
All the questions were very conventional,  about the remastered cds and companion disc so for die-hard fans like us,we didn't learn anything new but spending a hour with Jimmy in such good conditions was just fantastic
so thanks to RTL for this.

It will be broadcasted around midnight with a special website dedicated to the event on RTL with bonus material.

Listening Party/ Press conference for Led Zeppelin remastered albums with Jimmy Page @ Olympia, Paris May 21 2014

Listening Party/ Press conference for Led Zeppelin remastered albums with special guest
Jimmy Page @ Olympia, Paris May 21 2014.

 Jimmy Page (above) in Paris on May 20 doing lots of interviews ahead of the Party @ Olympia tomorrow on May 21

The whole listening Party & interview with Jimmy Page is available HERE
The Olympia theater decorated and Dave Lewis from "Tight but loose" Led Zep magazine & website

The Olympia lobby and theater was beautifully decorated with posters all over the place and projections on the walls and ceilings.
 First thing to say is that there were lots of tickets available outside before the listening party if you were not invited, a guy from the record Cie tried to give away tickets and hardly found anyone without a ticket.
On the way in they gave you a pass, there were three different, each one with the cover of the next to be released album ( Led Zep I, II, II). We only could managed to get two (missing LZ II, if you have one left ?)
 Jimmy Page was introduced by MC ( couldn't get his name) talked for a few minutes and left
Then we had  some music to listen to, some live songs from the Olympia  “Good Times Bad Times / Communication Breakdown" &“You Shook Me” and then some alternate takes from different songs:  “Heartbreaker” (Rough Mix With Vocal) “Whole Lotta Love” (Rough Mix With Vocal) “Gallows Pole” (Rough Mix) “Since I’ve Been Loving You” (Rough Mix) “The Immigrant Song” (Alternate Mix) “Keys To The Highway / Trouble In Mind” (Rough Mix).
For each song there was footage played on the huge screen that was done for the occasion.

Jimmy Page came back to answer questions that were selected from the official website.
No one in the audience could ask a question too bad , it could have been interesting.
The party ended with a couple more songs to listen to.
This listening event wasn't a "World premiere" as there was one in NYC and one last week @ the famous Olympic studios in London on May 16 with a Q&A with Jimmy Page (see review here).
Ticket, passes, wristband for tonight

Everything you need to know about these remastered editions it's HERE
