On a few of my LedZep CDs Robert Plant says the following before the band
starts a song: "The Doctor was played by Larry Badgely". Does anyone know
what Robert Plant meant by this?

I think this is an inside joke with the band and crew. In the '70's,
soap operas were mostly a live take and from time to time certain cast
members would get sick or be gone for something and the producers
would have to substitute another actor for the show. The announcer
would come on at the beginning of the show to say that, for instance,
"Rachel was played by Jane Doe". So I figure Robert was in a hotel
room watching the soaps one day, and thought it was funny. Probably
Larry Badgley was a crew member that tried to play doctor or
something, and Robert decided he'd make a joke of it for all.

Larry Badgley was the doctor for the '77 tour. The band pissed him off
because they always got into his pill stash. i think this is correct but
if i am wrong someone please correct me.

It's who they had sing backup for "Battle of Evermore" during the 1977
tour.

Sorry bud, but the lousy back-up singer was none other than John Paul
Jones.

Yes, the late Sandy Denney (of Fairport Convention) did sing back up
on the album. But during the '77 tour JPJ *attempted* to sing back-up
(with terrible results, IMHO).

Yeah it was Sandy Denny. BTW she died. JPJ did back-up to BoE in
concert.
