not interested

Cass you mean you don't do any Led Zepplin songs ?

At 19 years of age I was a Led Zepplin fan, I still have the original albums. One day I put the album on for the heck of it..........and wondered what the ....... was I thinking of at 19 years old

Steve........

Yea get the Bong out &
Try the "IMIGRANT SONG" on the PA800 hahahahahhahah

Awesome ! Saw them in 1977 at MSG but I have an even deeper appreciation for them now as I've gone back an listened more closely to Zep 3, Physical Graffiti and other more acoustic / world style pieces like "Yallah" and "City Don't Cry". Love to see 'em again.

That and the "classic" Pink Floyd lineup. I'd like to see them too. I stress classic rather than original as for me, Syd who is now gone was so influential in the early history of the band. Unfortunately he burned out long before I was old enough to see the Floyd. Other than the one off at Live 8, the classic Floyd lineup isn't likely to ever play toether again. Even if they ever did much of my favorite Floyd is from Meddle and before all the way back to Piper.

If you have mellowed beyond the point of appreciating LZ anymore (and those hormone replacement shots are SOOOO expensive!), might I suggest a listen to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss's recent album 'Raising Sand' (produced by T'Bone Burnett).

Still very Plant (more than Krauss), and has a very atmospheric vibe to it...

I may sing A WHOLE LOTTA LOVE songs, but I'm not BUYING A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

Its a benefit concert for the President of Atlantic Records who gave them their big chance in the USA who passed away....
John Bonham's son is the Drummer for them tonight also being he died also......on the news it said someone paid $168,000 for 2 tickets! ....its the Holy Grail in the UK of Concerts for any serious Rocker!!

I went through an obligitory Zep phase in High School, ans we even chose "Stairway to heaven" for our Junior Prom theme, but at 52 I have it all out of my system.
I never liked too much volume, even back in the day, so bands like the Zep, the Who and such were never my favorites. Give me the Beatles, CCR, Eagles anyday !

I think many of you must just be getting too old to appreciate a band that is an important part of rock music history. I was a young teenage kid when I first heard Zeppelin and I the rock cover band I play in still covers a couple of their songs.

Yeah I admit that an arranger keyboard is probably not gonna cut it to cover their stuff but I that is probably true of most hard rock songs. But I think it is awesome that there are rock artists that continue to perform well now they are in their 60s. I am getting close to that age myself and I am certainly not about to stop playing hard rock music .... in fact the more it offends people the more fun it is to play ( hmmmm maybe I need to turn it up a couple more notches ).

Meddle is one of my favorite albums. "Echoes" is an incredible composition and performance.

Even though it is not the original lineup I did really enjoy see them play "One Of Those Days" on the recently released double DVD set "Pulse" that is well worth watching if you are a Floyd fan.

I also thought the Live8 performance was stunning. Even though I liked the Beatles a lot when I was younger I thought Paul McCartney following Pink Floyd on the Live8 bill was a just a bit of an anti climax.

Nigel, I couldn't have said it better myself if I tried. I don't believe age has to have anything to do with it btw. I still like making as gritty and loud an organ sound as I can and playing it.

My grandmother bought me my first Led Zeppelin album back around the time Zep II came out. As time went by, she became quite the fan herself, and at the time she was already in her mid 50's. The remaining members have clearly evolved over time, so there is plenty of fare for those who didn't necessarily favor the hard rocking Zeppelin, but based on the reviews of the the other night, they surely remember how and can still easily pull off that old Zeppelin hard rock as well.

The Floyd has always been an interesting study to me. I guess had Syd been able to hold it together a bit more, we might have seen a very different Floyd. Meddle is one of my favorites as well. I like listening to all of the early PF albums, as each shows some previews of what the band would later become musically, and often without the somewhat more depressing ( albeit sometimes great ) Waters lyrics that would dominate the latter albums. I've seen the Pulse video too btw. Great stuff.

I'm definitely still a fan. I have every standard release PF album ( not all of the compilations though ) and practically all of the solo stuff as well, including just about everything Barrett that is out there.

Cheers
