Free Led Zeppelin!

Led Zeppelin won its copyright suit over Stairway. One interesting aspect of the trial (and Taurus is complaining about it) was that the judge did not let the jurors listen to the two songs, because it's the sheet music that's copyrighted.

and there's this:
"Led Zeppelin’s lead singer Robert Plant and guitarist Jimmy Page had testified at the trial. Plant said they wrote the song while sitting by a fire at a country retreat in Hampshire, England. At one point, Plant was asked whether he remembered meeting Spirit band members at a place he frequented in England.

“I’ve no recollection of mostly anybody I’ve ever hung out with,” Plant said."

So we had a brief Plant/Page reunion there!

Wonder if he remembers me from Lockn? I yelled real loud for an encore and he played one.

Coincidentally I heard DeSol's "Karma" today, which I first thought was a live version or a cover of Santana's cover of Black Magic Woman, but it's supposedly a different song. DeSol does, however, acknowledge the similarity, so maybe they got the OK (bands often get "tribute" consent to stick another song's riff in theirs, often heard as a hook).

Sorry about that....just added from different sources...something weird about those two links. My bad!
