RushFanForever Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) From Classic Rock magazine via Louder posted today. Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant helped save Rush in their darkest hour, says Geddy Lee One omitted mention is that Geddy met Robert in Morocco, which is referenced from this November 2008 interview below with George Stroumboulopoulos. Beginning at the 7:24 mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xRpYxkLWqY This led to the Page & Plant concert noted here. The full issue of Classic Rock # 289 (excerpt here) will be released on May 25th. Edited May 22, 2021 by RushFanForever 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Not news that they met but some of the details are certainly new. I think it was spun as more of an artist appreciation thing at the time but it was never revealed what they may have they talked about until now.

RushFanForever Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 I should add that Plant probably could relate to losing a loved one as he lost his young son to a stomach illness in the late 70's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushFanForever Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Just for the record, here's all the dates that Geddy and Alex saw Led Zeppelin and Page & Plant live. Alex was probably with Geddy at the 1971 concert as well. Led Zeppelin August 18, 1969 - The Rock Pile, Toronto September 4, 1971 - Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto Page & Plant July 4, 1998 - Molson Amphitheatre, Toronto with set list here. As a bonus, John Rutsey attended the following Led Zeppelin concert, where Ben Mink was the guitarist in the house band Mary-Lou Horner, who were also the opening act. February 2, 1969 - The Rock Pile, Toronto Edited May 25, 2021 by RushFanForever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 What Classic Rock is doing is publishing Geddy's tribute as a multiple piece story. Here's the rest. Rush’s Geddy Lee recalls watching Led Zeppelin alongside Alex Lifeson in 1969: ‘We wanted to be them instantly’ So 75% of Geddy's tribute is now published by Classic Rock on their website.

RushFanForever Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 http://youtu.be/_CI-0E_jses This was more based on the Robert Plant and Geddy Lee connection that I posted the two songs. Glen Miller's song is a classic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I should add that Plant probably could relate to losing a loved one as he lost his young son to a stomach illness in the late 70's. I think that's why contact was made in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
