Led Zeppelin

Not Zep, but...

I've just come in from a concert at Warrington's Parr Hall.

Saving Grace, and the name of one of their singers is.... Robert Plant. They were SUPERB. Not a second of Zep or Plant solo output. Just reworkings of 60/70/80 year old folk/blues/Americana. I have no interest in those genres, but I went with an open mind. BRILLIANT. Plant oozes stage presence and still holds a tune brilliantly. "His" band were fantastic, too. A GREAT night.

If they're local to you, go and see them. You won't be disappointed

I saw them in Edinburgh at the Kings Theatre (the only rock concert that venerable old theatre has ever hosted before or since). that would be January 1973. Their sound system was far too powerful for the venue and I swear it permanently damaged my hearing. When Bonzo kicked off Rock n Roll with his drum solo I thought someone was kicking me in the head.
notwithstanding that it was a great concert with Plant in stonking form.

There are some amazing bootlegs from that 1973 UK tour with Southamption and Stoke being so good they could be Officially released. Check this guys blog out he's got some fantastic Zep shows on there.
