Did Jimmy Page bring one in the Zep tour of '73?

And Rolf playing Stairway on wobble board! (Wasn't that on an Andrew Denton comedy show where a special guest each week played Stairway at the end of each show?)

Rolf did it way back on GTK, I wonder if his wobble board was a '59 burst or a reissue

Well if he does he will be buying it a seat next to him! Hard lessons learned from the likes of Delta and Cyprus airlines!

Even going back to British Airways circa '05....But, what the hey, what do I know, he might actually bring it, although I doubt it and wouldn't recommend, given the distances alone...Certainly it would take a seat beside him....

I did manage to find some archive footage of Led Zep's '72 OZ tour (Sydney concert only) the Perth concert footage is long gone either it was thrown out or it's in someones garage, hopefully the latter.

The footage I found is from a show called "GTK" (remember that one) and it's in 2 parts, concert and interviews.

In the concert Jimmy Page is playing a LP Standard Burst but whether it's a '59 or not, who knows.
I will get a DVD copy sometime this week so I will put it up on YouTube.

The other thing I found when searching is Rolf Harris singing "Stairway To Heaven" with the wobble board, KILLER lol

Was that a '59 wobble board?  smile

You gotta love it when he wants to play it as much as you want to see and hear it....despite the hassle!  Canadian Border hassle and now Australian airlines fiasco...
but Joe will...
