I'm a big fan, but I wouldn't say I'm a purist. I just find it overblown and syrupy. And I HATE the way they resolve it at the end. But then, Zep were guilty of that too.

NickD Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Nice! I saw Heart a few years ago with Mike Inez on bass. They finished with a medley of Zeppelin tunes that must have been 20 minutes long. They were clearly loving it, like revisiting their garage days.

leftybassman392 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 With my old rocknroll fart's hat on I'd have to say it was a tad overdone for my personal taste (and it's not my favourite LZ song as it happens which doesn't help), but the girl can certainly sing and if anyone in the business deserves such an accolade then Led Zep most certainly do. Well worth the viewing overall though and thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetaFunk Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I thought that the best bit was them sitting up there in their suits and dickie bows. Who'd have thought that would ever had happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamd Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Nice version, slightly OTT but to be fair the original was too. Whilst we're on the subject this takes the opposite approach, with added JPJ http://youtu.be/jYeq6XoOg8s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Stinky Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Jigster' timestamp='1391247397' post='2354885'] Great watch. Is that Jason Bonham on drums? [/quote] Yes it is. There's a longer version on UT where he's introduced. Glad to see he wallops like his Pa! Edited February 1, 2014 by Mr Stinky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingus Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I much preferred Led Zeppelin back in the days when they were mysterious and enigmatic, and when you seldom saw or heard them on mainstream mass media. and knew nothing of the personal about the various members except by rumour and hearsay. That was a big part of what made them Led Zeppelin. Nowadays, I know what John Paul Jones wife likes to cook ( fish) , I could actually pop round to Jimmy Page's house and knock on the door, and Robert Plant bought a sweater from my friend's girlfriend at a craft fair. That is not right. Participating in schmaltzy showbiz events like this has done nothing but diminish the Zeppelin legend, which, like all legends, relied on being lost to history. Their other big mistake ( much bigger ) was to reform and play those reunion shows and charity concerts like Live Aid ect. They showed themselves to be mere mortals, when they had previously been gods, and should have left it that way for all our sakes. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]Or i guess it could be viewed as the biggest band in rock could be seen by a younger generation. I enjoyed them reforming. Don`t forget that people who never had the pleasure to see them first time around, probably thought they were awesome even though in your opinion, they are past their sell by date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
