[edit] Production Trivia

I worked as an extra in this movie, and have some fond memories of the production and filming. It was fun going back to a time which I remember, which was before most of the actors in the movie were not even born yet. It is strange to consider that the 1970's could be considered a "costume period piece" in movies. And yes, Peter Frampton gave several concerts during long filming breaks, which made it even more enjoyable. How many people can say they went to a Peter Frampton concert, and got paid to do it?

[edit] Misty Mountain Hop?

I think the music list is incomplete: In the scene of the band arriving at New York you hear Led Zeppelin's "Misty Mountain Hop". unsigned comment by 84.73.74.139 10:32, August 2, 2006 (UTC)

There's also Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour" (the scene where Penny gets her stomach pumped).

[edit] Stillwater & Troy, MI

I took out the "irony" statement because it is original research unless a source can be provided that Crowe meant it in an ironic sense. There may be such a source... Crowe peppered some references/digs against Michigan and Detroit in the movie (Lester wearing a 'Detroit Sucks' shirt, the S&G song "America" mentions Saginaw, MI... Iggy Pop is from Ann Arbor). Odd references from a guy who grew up in CA.--Isotope23 18:22, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I added that part because many people who have seen it who live in my area(I live in the Metro Detroit area) always point out the irony that a rock band of that style would come out of a ultra conservative/yuppie town like Troy. But I can see how that would need a source if you weren't from this area. I did pick up some animosity from Crowe in regard to both Michigan and Detroit as a whole.

[edit] Plot summary!

About time this article had a plot summary. I will do it myself eventually if no one else does, but I have WP work backed up.--Wehwalt 09:52, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boken link ?=

It seems that the last link tilted : "Cameron Crowe article on Led Zeppelin" is boken.

[edit] Orange Bowl is painted on the back wall...

In the scene at the end where Russell is talking to Sapphire, "ORANGE BOWL" is clearly painted on the back wall of the backstage room they are in. Please do not revert this correct information. KyuzoGator 14:52, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
