Christopher Cross Page Story

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But I think they saw some spark there. Led Zeppelin came over for their first tour after the first album, with Jethro Tull opening. And I did about a week’s worth of dates opening for them. I also opened for the Airplane, Steppenwolf, a lot of other bands that they put me in front of. My band would play like a 30 minute set. And it was interesting because Page and Plant, after the third or fourth day on the road, they said, “How do you kids follow us around? Do your parents have money or something?” We said, “No. We’re opening the show!” And so the next night, I looked over in the wings, and there were Page and Plant standing there kind of checking us out!
Jimmy was playing Hiwatts. They were very rare in the States. Only Townshend and Page were really playing them. I wanted one really bad. And Jimmy actually got his roadie Clive to get me one. I gave him $750 of my hard-earned paper boy money, and a lot of people thought it was crazy to just hand money over to Jimmy Page’s tech, but they were sort of the elite amp. And sure enough about two and a half months later I came home from school and there sitting in the living room were two big cardboard boxes. And it was a Hiwatt head and cabinet, and I was the coolest guy in town. Not only because I had a Hiwatt but because Jimmy Page sent it to me. And then years later, I was out on the road with the Beach Boys, and Jimmy was on the show, and I was relating the story to him, and he was very touched. I told him how nice he was and how kind he was, and I think it made him feel good to think that he had been nice to some kid in Texas.
Wovon ist denn hier nun die Rede? Hat Jimmy dort vor über 800 000 Zuschauern gespielt? Höre ich zum ersten Mal. Und wieso gibt es davon keine Film-Aufnahmen? Oder gibt es welche???
" And then years later, I was out on the road with the Beach Boys, and Jimmy was on the show"
July 4th 1985 in both Philly AND the National Mall in Wash DC. (all acts were taken by helicopter from Philly to DC as soon as they were done their set. Other "special guests" included Mr T on drums (YES, MR T JAMMED W/ JIMMY PAGE!!!!! ) My favorite moment is still when Page was taking a solo, the kid group New Edition (w/ a young Bobby Brown) was on their knees in a semi circle around Jimmy. Jimmy did look a bit embarrased by the whole thing, but it was cool to see IMO!!!
Here's my flyer...I still don't know how it made it through the day. There was an estimated 800,000+ people there and I was pressed up against the stage all damn day. (there were also MANY more bands than what is listed on that flyer...like Joan Jett...and others I can't remember )

Also in der oberen Story schreibt er, dass er Jimmy nen Hiwatt Amp abgekauft hat...
Und ja, in der unteren steht, dass Jimmy vor 800.000 Leuten gespielt hat :shock:

Since the site is having a Video Fest, I thought I'd throw a few up that I hadn't seen floating around anywhere (mostly). Quality ranges from pretty good to pretty bad. The video tapes I took them from are at least a good 20 years old, if not more. They are starting to deteriorate and some of the copies weren't good to begin with.
Though the old Communication Breakdown promo is hardly something new, it came with a few different text intros and colors. One is a sepia and white the other in blue and white.
While the Knebworth footage is all around the place now (I'm sure not complaining, here) the old ITOD Hot Dog promo seems to have been left in the dust. I never was able to get a crystal clear copy. There was always interuption in the video, sometimes the audio was terribly distorted, etc. But, here it is in almost good quality.
The Plant footage is pretty neat. For awhile ( I don't know if he still does it) Prince Charles would have charity events that featured big name musicians. This footage is from 1984 and features Pete Townshend on rhythm guitar and some good footage of rarely seen Robbie Blunt. Phil Collins is on drums. The old Honeydrippers on Saturday Night Live in 1985 used to circulate widely. I never see it around anymore. So, here it is. Unfortunately the very beginning of "Good Rockin' at Midnight is missing, but it's better than nothing.
Jimmy with Roy Harper is...ummm...interesting. If I didn't know any better, my guess would be that Harper is in fact Charles Mansons younger bother. He looks like a young Charlie and his behavior is similar. The track "I'm Stoned" is in great quality and appears to be a studio track set to live footage from a festival. "Some Old Rock" is in pretty bad shape, but is shot live, just Page & Harper on acoustics out in the countryside. Lastly is Page playing "Lucille" with the Beach Boys of all people. I'm not sure of the dates for any of this Page material, but it must be fairly early 80's.
