London Town
Wings release their 6th on March 31, 1978. This is the "synth-heavy" era for Wings. They recorded the thing in London at Apple Studios and on a yacht in the Virgin Islands but all that didn't matter -- it was another success for Paul, Linda and Denny. #wings #londontown #70srock #rockmusic #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #paulmccartney #lindamccartney #dennylaine #softrock
Look what turns 50 today …
The 7th from Led Zeppelin ~ released on March 31, 1976. It's an album created at a difficult time -- during Robert Plant's convalescence from a serious auto accident. Critics weren't too excited about it and it's the lowest selling Zepp album in the catalog. But its genius has become apparent over time. #ledzeppelin #rock #bluesrock #presence #robertplant #jimmypage #johnpauljones #johnbonham #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #70srock

“Back To The Clubs”
March 21, 1971 ~ Led Zeppelin made a stop at the Boat Club in Nottingham, England during their "Back To The Clubs" tour. It was -- and still is -- a rowing club and intimate music venue. One can only imagine The Zepp in their prime in that setting. #ledzeppelin #70srock #rock #rockmusic #robertplant #jimmypage #johnpauljones #johnbonham #music #musicsky #musiciansky
