Tuesday Rock Roundup
So...curious why Eric Clapton and Robbie Robertson shelved the album they started working on in the spring of 2008? There was speculation as to what happened, including them not seeing eye-to-eye on its production. But, according to Robertson's son Sebastian, Clapton wanted to spend more time with his family. Clapton does make an appearance on Robertson's fifth solo album, which he's currently working on.
Once again an attempt will be made to break the Guinness World Record for the largest guitar ensemble. The promoter of West Fest, the free San Francisco concert on October 25th celebrating the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, is asking three-thousand guitar players to simultaneously play Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze." The current record was set last year when just over two-thousand guitarists came together in Concord, California to play Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land." In 2007, 18-hundred people played Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" in Germany. If you're interested in joining in the Hendrix jam, you can learn more at SteveRoby.com.
It has just been reported that Robert Plant was involved in a car accident on July 2nd in northwest London. Plant's Audi A-8 collided with a Mercedes S-L 300 driven by Richard Grant, who tells the Telegraph, "I went to the hospital for five hours and luckily there were no broken bones, but I was badly bruised on the arm and had whiplash. My Mercedes is smashed up and I'm not in a good way." 34 years ago next week, August 4th, 1975, Plant and his family were seriously injured in a car accident on vacation on the Mediterranean island of Rhodes, forcing Led Zeppelin to postpone their fall U-S tour.
