  1. I’m team Dweezil, but I’ve never been able to get interested in seeing a FZ cover band. If it’s not FZ on guitar, I’m not interested.

     

    Dweezil is a phenomenal guitar player. Such an interesting and bizarre style and phrasing

  2. Listened to the record just now on my way home and I really enjoyed it. Par for the course with the last few U2 records, I particularly loved the second half. Little Things was probably my highlight on first listen. One thing I really love is how clearly this record is meant to be a companion to Songs of Innocence. When put in context, it's pretty clear that American Soul is supposed to basically be Volcano. The use of the lines from Iris and Song For Someone are both fantastically done IMO (reusing lines could be cheesy but I don't think it is) and I absolutely love 13. What a powerful ending 

  3. I like Susan a lot. My draw to TTB is and will always be Derek though. If they weren't in a band together I don't think I would ever seek out Susan's band. All that being said I definitely prefer Mike's singing. I also could do without ever hearing one of the straight up blues Susan features again (That Did It, etc...) I don't find her playing at all interesting, especially when Derek is standing right there

  4. Understand your poin. Matt Mattison singing more would be welcome and I heard A rumor that Kofi sang in NY.

    More of this would be welcome.,as they present as somewhat of an ensemble to me.

    I agree in general, but the truth of it is that if they're adding songs for them to sing they will almost definitely be covers, and I'm just over their covers. Probably part of my problem is that I still just prefer dtb in general. 

  5. I don't get the whole 'private trading circles' mentality.

     

    That 3/21/75 show is a great show. The 'No Quarter', especially. 

     

    Me neither. I have to imagine it's the thrill of knowing you have something that nobody else has?... I had a track of the LZ multis that wasn't distributed with the main batch and it was kinda exciting haha

  6. It still amazes me that someone has a soundboard tape from that era they they kept all these years. And then someone comes along and offers them money for it (I guess).

     

    There's a good deal of Zeppelin (and other band's) material still out there. Most of it is in private trading circles and the general public will, at most, just hear rumors. As soon as somebody in the chain of people with a copy of a tape sells it, they devalue it for everybody else. That doesn't happen often...

  7. Wanted to add that this looked like an emotional evening for Jeff. Walking off stage after YHF either Glenn or John gave Jeff a good pat on the back and put their arm around him. Reminded me a bit of seeing Pearl Jam play Ten all the way through. Everybody (both the fans and the band) gets so used to the songs being played individually that the emotional impact of the whole album is sort of lost. Was quite moving
