https://www.loudersound.com/culture/films-tv-shows/led-zeppelin-good-times-bad-times-the-now-explosionThe footage was originally captured in February 1969 at Thee Image Club on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, Florida. A low-quality, black-and-white film of the band performing Communication Breakdown at the club has been circulating for years, but the Good Times Bad Times clip is in colour and has not been seen for over half a century.
Both videos were reportedly filmed for The Rick Shaw Show, an MTV-type show in Miami featuring the latest rock'n' roll songs being lip-synched by local performers and touring musicians. Hall would later become a VeeJay on The Now Explosion, a show in Atlanta, GA, that featured dancers performing to popular songs, with wild video effects employed to make the clips more psychedelic.
Footage from The Now Explosion has been archived by the University of Georgia's Walter J. Brown Media Archive & Peabody Awards Collection, where the Good Times, Bad Times clip was discovered by a Led Zeppelin fan, alongside film of Three Dog Night performing Try A Little Tenderness and James Brown miming I Got You.

(62,892 posts)AI threatening music and musicians. Friends like you and the reminders of how powerful real music is help so much when I run across discouraging stories like the one I posted in LBN this evening: https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143650913 . Humans and real friendships and the art we love and can create will triumph over soulless AI robber barons and their sycophantic chatbots and fake creativity.
I'm sorry I hadn't been able to help you years ago when you were trying to remember that LZ song, but I'm glad you did remember it and mentioned it, and I can't resist posting it here tonight. It's such a fun song.

(62,892 posts)every interaction, every day. All of us benefit from both learning - never stop - and from helping others when we can, both with physical assistance and what we know. It's how we all make progress, as individuals, communities and a species as a whole.
AI is in part so harmful because it skips the learning, substituting theft of other people's work and knowledge and a charade of creativity. It harms those whose work was stolen, those using AI, and those simply listening who are being cheated of hearing real music and real creativity.
I know we have people here who think I'm too judgmental about AI and AI users. But it's an existential threat to humanity and the productive intelligence and creativity that make us human. A future where human knowledge and creativity are largely controlled by amoral billionaires and likely trillionaires is not an acceptable future, no matter how much the tech lords would like everyone else shunted aside as unnecessary in their scheme of AI uber alles.
It's important that we have physical media that corporations can't take away from us as they can by removing or editing online content at whim. Spotify is platforming more and more AI slop because it's so much cheaper for them as long as they can get away with it. As long as people aren't really paying attention, or have fallen for the lie that AI use is real creativity and real accomplishment. The same thing goes for YouTube of course, and Kindle, and just about any platform AI users can load their slop onto.
I'll keep trying to hold the line here.
Humanity and real human creativity and accomplishments are too important not to.
