Brian JopekI’m not one for long drum solos but I love that Jimmy Page included this salute to Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham on “Coda” in ‘82.

The evening’s “live” selection on deck is another from Canada’s April Wine.

Shadows movin' without a sound
From the hold of the sleepless town
Evil seems to be everywhere
Heed the spirit that brought despair
Trouble's comin' without control
No one's stayin' that's got a hope
Hurricane at the very least
In the words of the gypsy queen
I just had to mention Rainbow and now that I have another nice, hot cup of tea here on deck, I’m gonna toss some out there. You’re welcome. 😉

Cruising down the road and the U2 shows up. My kids always liked this one.

Gloria (Remastered 2008)
While Jimmy Page was gathering tracks for “Coda,” Robert Plant launched his solo career in ‘81 with a late era Zeppelin-sounding tune or two.

Stepped in and shattered my defenses
Just playing hooky with my heart
Slipped through the window by the back door
And took the keys to my poor heart
Yes, my poor heart
Burning down One Side (2006 Remaster)
Gonna pick it up on deck. Just a tad.

Finish What Ya Started (2023 Remaster)
One of those underrated Heart tunes that actually helped spark a bit of their comeback in the 80s.

Where do we take it now
Now that we caught fire?
Will something greater grow
Out of this desire?
Should I drop my guard
At the risk of being used?
But the way you do those things to me
How Can I Refuse?
Heart - How Can I Refuse
Well, now I’m just kinda fired up; she showed up at the beginning of the 80s kicking ass and she left the decade the same way.

Livin' with my eyes closed
Goin' day to day
I never knew the difference
I never cared either way
Lookin' for a reason
Searchin' for a sign
Reachin' out with both hands
I gotta feel the kick inside
All Fired Up
Pat Benatar - All Fired Up (Official Music Video)
I have no idea who these guys are but this cover they did of a Bryan Adams ass kicker off his 1981 album “You Want You Got It” is spot the fuck on right down to the guitar solo.

Was a time, yeah, you were bringin' me down
But I know, oh it's just the way you look at life, yeah
But you don't know like I know, baby, I did all that I could
Now it Fits You Good
Fits Ya Good
A cut from what is, to date, the only Jimmy Page solo album on deck as darkness falls. With Bonzo’s boy Jason on drums.

One last time
Let me say to you
It's a crime, baby, don't you feel it, too?
If you could only try to talk about it
I wouldn't always have to scream and shout it
Sit down, we gotta draw the line
I've got to tell ya
You’ve been Wastin’ My Time
