    Living 10 miles down the road from Knebworth it was hard not to say no. Tickets were easily obtained back in the day. I recall hundreds arriving the night before and the early hours. There was some confusion on the first weekend. A fence was broken through and people ran across fields to gain access to the main area. I reckon the organisers let people in early for safety reasons. Memorable times I'll keep forever. Even though they came on late Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood turned up with their band the New Barbarians. 👍

    So Plant was his friend and recommended him to Page. They actually went to see him play, where Page was blown away..John had promised his wife that he wouldn't run off with Plant anymore because, according to her it always led to no good...So initially Page and Grant called several times with no luck. So eventually Grant would send telegraphs, a common way of communicating in England then...I believe that eventually Plant and Page showed up at his house and convinced him to come aboard...after the 1st session which started off at Pages house, " Train Kept a Rollin" "they were all in shock on how good they sounded " john Paul Jones....

But, from listening to Ian Paice for just a few minutes on one of his many videos, he is Obviously a Formally Educated Drummer--he was telling his "beginning drummer audience members" the importance of learning The Rudiments: "paradiddles and flammadiddles", etc. Ian told them that it was one thing to just have some fun banging around on a set of drums with some friends--but quite another if you actually wanted to play advanced drumming, which requires dedication, discipline, and study! Excellent Advice, Ian Paice!
