Tonight "Bass 'N' Drums" and "Crackback" switched places. The show was fairly standard, with an enthusiastic crowd that sang along to all the Zep songs (unsuccessfully on "Trampled Under Foot", of course!).

A bootleg of this show exists - though not one of the better sounding recordings from this tour.

Oct. 23, 1999 Ogden Theater, Englewood, CO

One report from this show is that "In My Time Of Dying" was written on the setlist, but not necessarily performed. I don't know if that's true.

Oct. 25, 1999 Showbox, Seattle, WA

This was one of three shows (along with Portland and Las Vegas following) videotaped by a film crew, for a possible live concert release/broadcast.

Here's more info on the "Triple Neck" song JPJ has been playing on his triple-neck. [Thanks Scott!] JPJ starts by playing the bottom neck (6-string guitar). A computer samples that and then plays it all back while JPJ moves up a neck and plays the 12-string guitar. The computer also samples that, plays back both 12- and 6-string sections, while JPJ jams on the top neck (a mandolin). This goes on for several times until there's a whole mess of guitars playing and eventually the computer system screws up and it breaks down. Cool! Eat your heart out, Jimmy Page!

I was at this show, leaning on the stage. Fantastic! JPJ is a wizard on the lap steel, bass, keyboards. He was having a blast. Nick Beggs rules. There was no triple neck performance tonight, since the computer loops were not working, but since I snuck in the back door to the soundcheck, I got to hear it! "Zooma" was definately meant to be heard in a live setting, that's for certain.

A bootleg of this show exists, in excellent quality, but minus the first three songs.

Oct. 31, 1999 Sun Theatre, Anaheim, CA

This show was cancelled, for reasons unknown. My guess is that not many tickets were sold. It was a holiday, a Sunday, and scheduled to start at 7pm! For some reason, a Halloween Ball was scheduled at 9pm.

Of course, I had a ticket...

At the end of "Spaghetti Junction" tonight, JPJ says "That was 'Crackback' from "SCREAM FOR HELP". He doesn't seem to notice his mistake - one I also often make! The band jams a lot tonight - "Spaghetti Junction", "B. Fingers", and "No Quarter" are all considerably longer than usual. The Triple Neck performance must also be one of the finest!

An audio bootleg of this show exists, in very very good quality.

The last few shows have reportedly included 'teases' of "Heartbreaker" at the end of "Bass 'N' Drums".

Tonight was another small concert - apparently only about 200 people. The setlist remains the same, though from what I've seen and heard, I'd bet the performances aren't.

Fingers/Jump Blues/When the Levee Breaks/Tidal/Trampled Under Foot/Black Dog

The "2000"ma tour is underway! Some new additions include JPJ breaking out an acoustic mandolin and playing "Going To California". Wow! He also teased the crowd with "That's The Way" beforehand. Also new is a bass lap steel version of "Nobody's Fault But Mine", which I'm sure is fascinating! "Steel Way" had a new mandolin intro tonight. The "Triple Neck" tonight was played, but the computer broke again, so there were no loops - he performed it acoustically.

Tonight's show was in front of approximately 400 people. "Dazed and Confused" was not teased at the end of "Bass 'N' Drums". Instead "Heartbreaker" was played a lot longer than before. Word is he soundchecked "Heartbreaker" before the show, so maybe it will be added to the set sooner or later? "Trampled Under Foot" was also not played, for no explained reason.

Mar. 14, 2000 House of Blues, New Orleans, LA

Reports say "Ramble On" was teased during "Bass 'n' Drums", but others didn't notice it, so we'll need to hear a bootleg to be sure! Despite the first set having some feedback problems, tonight's set was professionally filmed by the House of Blues! What will become of this footage, nobody knows...

One report says "What Is And What Should Never Be" was teased tonight during "Bass 'n' Drums". Could they have meant "Ramble On"?

Mar. 18, 2000 (afternoon) South By Southwest Music Festival, Austin, TX

This afternoon, as part of the SXSW Festival, JPJ gave a press conference/interview hosted by music critic, Jim DeRogatis. Read about it here and here.

Mar. 18, 2000 (evening) South By Southwest Music Festival, La Zona Rosa, Austin, TX

Zooma/Grind/The Smile of Your Shadow/That's The Way (tease)/Going To California/Steel Away/When the Levee Breaks/B. Fingers/Nobody's Fault But Mine/Black Dog

This was part of a giant music festival where many artists fill up every club in Austin over many nights. JPJ only was allowed an hour, and he played for about 50 minutes the shortened set above. (What, no "No Quarter"?) "Steel Away" still includes the mandolin intro/bridge. Interestingly, JPJ did not play any keyboards at this show at all. It looks like he played bass for 3 songs (Zooma, Grind, B. Fingers), bass mandolin/mandolin for 2.5 songs (Smile, TTW, California, the intro to Steel Away), and bass lap steel for 3.5 songs (end of Steel, Levee, NFBM, Black Doggy).

Heartbreaker, Dazed and Confused teases)/B. Fingers/Jump Blues/When the Levee Breaks/Tidal/Trampled Under Foot/Black Dog

Setlists reports are always different, and I think it's because people hear Led Zeppelin riffs that may or may not be there. "Steel Away" is NOT "You Shook Me", "In My Time Of Dying", or "Let That Boy Boogie". When you see that on a report somewhere, it's safe to assume that it's probably "Steel Away" - with maybe enough similar notes/licks tossed in from one of those songs to cause confusion. The teases at the end of "Bass 'n' Drums" are completely different, I think. There's been recent claims of "How Many More Times" and "Sick Again", but again that may be a listener over-listening! (Of course, it could also very easily be JPJ feeling saucy.)

This is the show that supposedly has "How Many More Times" teased at the end of "Bass 'n' Drums". Bootlegs will verify!

Mar. 27, 2000 (morning) WDVE radio, Pittsburgh, PA

JPJ appeared on the radio this morning from 9-9:25am. He talked about his band members, influences, and the Mac Powerbook he uses on stage. What he said about them, I don't know.

Mar. 29, 2000 "Daily Ones", VH-1

While in New York, JPJ made an appearence on VH-1's "Daily Ones" today. There were three VJs and they asked him all the normal nonsense - about Page/Plant, "ZOOMA", his influences, etc. He also treated everyone to a brief mandolin performance of "Going To California" (a la the tour).

Mar. 29, 2000 Jaxx Nightclub, Springfield, VA

Mar. 31, 2000 "Open Mike with Mike Bullard"

Similar to the "Daily Ones" a few days before this, JPJ appeared on this Canadian talk show. He played a little bit of "Going To California" on mandolin. Incidentally, this show is filmed at the Rockpile in Toronto, where Zep played a few times in 1969! Of course, JPJ admitted to not remembering...

The end of the tour. :-( Interestingly, this show included a laser light show which are a part of the club.

Apparently clips were shown on Canadian show called "The History of Led Zeppelin". I assume this show was thus professionally video recorded? Along with those 3-4 nights from the American tour in the fall, a video might be on the way.
