Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticThe time has come today for the Rolling Stones to introduce the 1966 song “Out of Time” into their setlist. Improbable as it may seem, given how often the song has been covered by others or licensed for the movies, the band had never performed the tune live until it showed up at the Stones’ European tour opening Wednesday night in Madrid, Spain.There was a rumor the song might show up, as eavesdroppers on tour rehearsals had heard the Stones trying out “Out of Time,” although there are typically rarities that they test during rehearsal periods that seldom or never make it onto a tour. So its actual appearance at the Metropolitano Stadium opener was considered a blessed event indeed.Given the enduring popularity of the song among fans, some might assume it was released as a single in ’66, but that wasn’t the case after it first appeared as an “Aftermath” album cut.

I’ll leave it to your imagination.

Robert Plant as Led Zeppelin‘s vocalist.She approached the band after they reunited for the one-off Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert at the O2 Arena in London in December 2007.Despite Plant not wanting to take part in a full scale reunion, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones held some sessions where they jammed with potential new vocalists including Alter Bridge’s Myles Kennedy and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler in 2008.At the time Wilson said she “threw (her) hat in the ring” but heard nothing back.“(Led) Zeppelin always was a boy’s club,” she told My Planet Rocks. “I know that because there was a minute when the rumour was that they were auditioning singers and I just threw my hat in the ring.

the band was robbed of a whole lotta cash: approximately $200,000. The stacks of hundred-dollar bills — along with everyone’s passports and a few credit cards — had been stored in a safe-deposit box behind the desk at the Drake Hotel on Park Avenue at 56th Street, where Led Zep was staying.Led Zeppelin was worn out and strung out on drugs, with cocaine and heroin being delivered to their hotel, but had to pull it together for these important MSG gigs, where footage was being shot for their 1976 concert film “The Song Remains the Same.” Richard Cole, the band’s then-tour manager, discovered the theft at 7:30 p.m.

Jimmy Page has said that, on reflection (36 years later), it was a bad idea to get Phil Collins to play drums with Led Zeppelin for the band’s reunion performance at the American side of Live Aid in 1985.

Led Zeppelin‘s Jimmy Page has said that the coronavirus pandemic made him think about making a return to performing live.Speaking in a new interview, the legendary guitarist, who has been planning a live comeback for the past few years, revealed that being in lockdown inspired him to think about getting back out on the road.“When we first went into lockdown I thought, ‘Right, now’s the time to start thinking about coming back at some point and being able to perform’,” he told GQ in its December print issue.He added that the cancellation of concerts all over the world in order to stop the spread of COVID-19 has strengthened his belief that “music means nothing” without live shows.Elsewhere in the interview, Page talked about the future of
