Sunshine orange, blue cheer, purple haze, window pane.  LSD sure made them record producers a lot of money.

Seriously, though, isn't that Jimmy Page on guitar?

2Deaf you are indeed correct.  Probably his Danelectro as it certainly has that single coil feel.  He used a Supro Coronado in the Yardbirds and a Valco in early Zep (maybe due to studio experience?).  Heck maybe a Watkins Dominator due to the hint of breakup?  Ritchie Blackmore (another noted studio musician of the early/mid 60's)always talked about the Dominator being in every studio.  Or it could have been any number of amps in the closet of the studio!  :l2:  An AC30 would have probably been too big in a studio of that era.

"They"?  The record producers?  I don't think they ever did any acid.  It would have been bad for business.

Coke was always there and always will be there.  Acid was just a fad.

"they" brought it back, been seeing news clips where it's back in the Labs, getting studied again, "medical usage" mostly.  :think1:

Because LSD doesn't work every day, but crack does.
