We'd talked about a film for years and Jimmy had known Joe Massot was interested-so we called them and over they came.

Unhappy with the progress of the film, Grant had Massot removed from the project and Australian director Peter Clifton was hired in his place in early 1974.

Massot was offered a few thousand pounds in compensation.

However, Massot had hidden the film elsewhere and so instead an expensive editing machine owned by Massot was taken as collateral.

Massot served a writ, leading to a period of stalemate which was finally broken when Grant and Led Zeppelin's lawyer Steve Weiss agreed to pay Massot the money he was owed, after which he delivered the film to the band.

Massot was not invited to attend the premiere of the film at New York but he attended anyway, buying a ticket from a scalper outside the theatre.

Unlike Massot, however, Clifton was invited to both the New York and London premieres of the film.

Massot had originally shot Grant walking a cameraman around a collection of antique cars, but this footage was quickly abandoned.

Later in 1969, the group's producer, Bill Szymczyk, was music coordinator for the movie Zachariah, a sort of " western rock musical " based on the novel Siddhartha by writer Hermann Hesse, directed by George Englund and co-written by Joe Massot and the Firesign Theater comedy group.

The soundtrack was composed by Beatle George Harrison, whom Massot approached specially for the project.

Massot was happy to include the song in the restored film, which was released to critical acclaim the second time around, and got a distribution deal.

On the morning of 20 July 1973, during the band's concert tour of the United States, Peter Grant made a contact with Joe Massot, who had previously directed Wonderwall.

Grant had previously turned down offers by Massot to make a film of the band, but with the huge success of the band's current tour, Grant changed his mind and offered him the job of director.

With the intention of giving an insight into the individual personalities in the band, several out-of-concert ' fantasy sequences ' were shot by Massot for each of the band members, as well as for Peter Grant and tour manager Richard Cole.

Massot envisioned Grant and Cole in the hitman roles, as it symbolised the tough business decisions they made on behalf of the band.

Harrison had never done a film soundtrack, and told Massot he did not know how, but when Massot promised to use whatever Harrison created, Harrison took the job.

In 1981, Henri Pousseur invited him to found the improvisation class at the Conservatoire Royal de Musique de Liège, where he taught among others Fabrizio Cassol, Michel Massot and Aston Keaton alias Acétone He wrote pieces for Man Ray movies as well as for other artists such as Fernand Léger, Hans Richter and Paul Gonze.

Cassol began to tour with his first band ( Trio Bravo, with Michel Massot and Michel Debrulle ).

In 1998, thirty years after the film's release, and with Massot an established film director, he decided to restore and re-release his first film.

Massot hurriedly assembled a crew in time for Led Zeppelin's last leg of the tour starting on 23 July 1973, in Baltimore.

The artwork featured under the Art in Transit programme is The Tree of Life by Gilles Massot.

Michel Massot ( born 25 October 1960 in Halle ) is a Belgian tuba and trombone jazz musician.

Next to those bands, Massot also plays in Määk's Spirit, a band that is led by Belgian trumpeter Laurent Blondiau.

He got up slowly, and she was already on her feet, and he stood facing her.

Kathy was already in the wagon.

She already knew this unwholesome, chilling atmosphere that was somehow grotesquely alive.

He'd put on his old brown corduroy coat and it was already soaked.

Against all expectation, Carmer was inside, clearly enjoying himself to the hilt and already so tipsy that it seemed unlikely he was bothering to note anything or anyone about him.

But it also made him conspicuous to the enemy, if it was the enemy, and he hadn't been spotted already.

As far as I was concerned, she had already and had dandily shown what she could do.

His hair was black, already greying at the temples in the classic beauty-idiom, the only one permitted to a man.

and Robinson Roy, who had gone down this line ten minutes before to set a new depth record for the free dive, was already back on the surface.

A phony blonde hanging onto a bygone youth and beauty, but irreparably stringy in the neck, she was already working on her second gin and tonic, though it was not yet ten A.M.

Outside it was already hot at 7:30 A.M., and it was getting hot in the kitchen.

But though the Southern States, when drafting a constitution to unite themselves, narrowed the difference to this fine point by omitting to assert the right to secede, the fact remained that by seceding from the Union they had already acted on the concept that it was composed primarily of sovereign states.

It is a weakness of Gabriel's analysis that he never seems to realize that his so-called fundamental law had already been cut loose from its foundations when it was adapted to democracy.

I fled, however, not from what might have been the natural fear of being unable to disguise from you that the things about my bridegroom -- in the sense you meant the word `` things '' -- which you had been galvanizing yourself to tell me as a painful part of your maternal duty were things which I had already insisted upon finding out for myself ( despite, I may now say, the unspeakable awkwardness of making the discovery on principle, yes, on principle, and in cold blood ) because I was resolved, as a modern woman, not to be a mollycoddle waiting for Life but to seize Life by the throat.

The wear and tear of life have taught me that very few friends of mutual friends long to see foreign strangers, but I planned on being the soul of tact, of giving them plenty of outs was there the tiniest implication that their cups were already running over without us.

In the eyes of those who still cared for such things, it was a reflection on his honor, and it gave further grounds for complaint to his overtaxed subjects, who were already grumbling -- although probably not in Latin -- `` Non est lex sana Quod regi sit mea lana ''.

Both Alfred Harcourt and Donald Brace had written him enthusiastic praise of Elmer Gantry ( any changes could be made in proof, which was already coming from the printer ) and they had ordered 140,000 copies -- the largest first printing of any book in history.

The failures of the U.N. and of other international organs suggest that we have already gone beyond what was internationally feasible.

The situation already was bad because the Legislature moved the governor's race forward a few months, causing the campaigning to get started earlier than usual.

But I have compared its text with already published commentaries on the 1960 series of Godkin lectures at Harvard, from which the book was derived, and I can with confidence challenge the gist of C. P. Snow's incautious tale ''.

It was not so much that the shot had stunned the audience, as that they had been stunned already.

The news of battle on Breed's Hill had already seeped through, and New York itself was now left in the hands of the local Provincial Congress.
