I got the CD/DVD set for the Mister for Christmas. He's gonna love it.

I saw a Robert Plant solo tour many years ago and it was awesome.

I agree about Pink Floyd - one of my all time, favorite bands! I saw them together years ago but it was an outdoor show and really raining hard, so I was pretty miserable. I did see David Gilmour on a solo tour, which was amazing, and earlier this year I saw Roger Waters do The Wall and omg, left me speechless.

Outdoor show and raining. Orange Bowl in miami by chance?

Nope, Oakland California :)

Yep; Axl had the expansive, grand ideas, and Slash the rootsy, hardass blues that, when combined, made some hellacious music. Listening to Chinese Democracy and Apocalyptic Love leaves me wanting the yin to go with the yang lol.

But I am enjoying the shit out of "Standing in the Sun", it'd fit in fine on any GnR album.

I was working lights at the show. Backstage was a zoo-the band was shooting up, screaming for strippers, drunk out of their minds-I knew right away they were gonna be mega huge. They had the Baditude and the chops to go with it.
Caught em a few years later in a stadium with Faith No More and Metallica. They were still pretty good but nothing like the beast I saw the first time

Issues are one thing. Treating them as a license to act like a fuckwit is quite another.
There's pop singers who had much rougher childhoods than Waxl who don't act like a six year old with AHDD and a system full of e numbers. Just look at how Roy Harper or the late Ian Dury conducted themselves.

I was not expecting much since I have always been somewhat disappointed with Zep live in the past even though I own every commercial release and just about every Zep bootleg known to man. This is really good. Robert Plant never really did justice to Zep's studio recordings back in the day, IMO. On this recording he did quite well. Sure, they had to tune things down a half or whole step here and there (which would have been a great idea back in the 70s) but the music still carries the same power. Page is particularly good throughout. He's always been a little on the sloppy side but these days he is really hitting marks crisply. JPJ is as perfect as he always was. Hard to believe one guy covers all those bases.

The real surprise for me was Jason Bonham. I never cared for him much in his earlier career because he was trying too hard to sound like his father and like any drummer trying to emulate the "Bonham slur" he just sounded like he was dragging and plodding along. He has ditched all of that to let his own style shine through. Outstanding drummer.

I wasn't expecting to be wowed but I was. The casual fan will really dig it and it's a must for a Zep head.

Saw Zep at both Knebworth gigs & thought them shit. Went to see the Plant & Page reunion tours & they were a thing of beauty.

Saw Zep at Madison Square Garden in '75 and 77....and thought they were the end all and the be all.
And in all the years since I have seen nothing that leads me to believe I was wrong.
No one and I mean no one played ass kicking,in your face Rock and Roll the way they did,and certainly no other band sporting the traditional one guitar /one bass/drummer and lead singer foursome ever put up such a quality wall of sound.


Saw Sinatra in 77 too,he wasn't that bad.....and those two facts,put together,can usually get a nice conversation going....ool

Now see my 4 would be Jimi,The Doors,The Beatles and The Who with Kieth Moon...I saw tons of Who shows with lesser ,normal,humans sitting behind the kit....but I never saw the Moon ;-(

p.s. Van Hagar wasn't bad....lol,hell ,I saw Sammy with Montrose...and that shit was good.

I had never even knew anything about hem unil a few years ago. I heard a song on xm and wondered who the hell made it. It was zeppelin. Immigrant song. It starts off with a high pitched yell. He can't hit those notes like hat anymore. And although he might be passable there's no escaping the comparisons. He may know how far he's fell off. But as long as he doesn't do zeppelin songs there isn't a mark to compare. With new music he does it's set to his current limits.

There's also the fact that Page wasn't very interested in doing any more Zep back when Plant would have still been up to doing it. Plant spent most of the '80s and the first half of the '90s doing hard rock stuff, and Page wasn't interested at all. Given that, I can't really say I feel too much sympathy for him bitching in Rolling Stone about how that's it for Led Zepplin.
