Vacant Horizon Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I usually hate 80s production, but for some reason really like Little by Little by Plant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brs_O9fXhBc When the song is good, the production is less of an issue. Big Log, Heaven Knows...those are good songs. For some reason I've always thought that dudes who work at Guitar Center only listen to solo Plant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 has anyone ever seen the Jason Bonham Led Zep experience? if so, how was it? thinking of going this weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shug Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I saw that too, last year and I thought it was very good. There is no other band playing Led Zeppelin music as well and as authentically as this one, IMO. Jason is a very good drummer and he knows the music so thoroughly, even down to the different ways his dad played in different years. The rest of the band is very competent and they play the music very well with a bit of theatrics thrown in. You probably have to have a tolerance for a cover band kind of thing, though, which I do. Its on par with seeing Dark Star Orchestra, some Deadheads like me think its great because its so historical accurate and others find the cover band/ recreation band thing off putting. I found it to be a heartfelt homage to Bonzo and a loving respectful tribute to the music of Zepp and a damn good time to rock out to the music of one of the top 5 rock bands of all time. If you feel even a little bit jaded about Zepp music, you could probably find reasons to not like this show, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I really enjoyed Dread Zeppelin the couple times I saw them. Are they still a thing? Even Plant endorsed them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Yes I remember them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I really enjoyed Dread Zeppelin the couple times I saw them. Are they still a thing? Even Plant endorsed them!They're still sround though I think with only 1-2 original members (Tortelvis is still singing)..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 The 2nd time I saw them (a year or so in between performances) in Minneapolis, Tortelvis bragged that he had gained 8 pounds since we last saw him - to great applause. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 it's nice to see that John Popper's got a gig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Popper's looking pretty good these days, even after his recent baby.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They do 3 night stands here all the time. Last year they did I, II, III on consecutive nights. Kind of cool. Jason is good, but I think Dave Grohl would've been so great for the O2 gig. Hard to believe that was almost 10 years ago. The time for any reunions is going fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
froggie Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 typical Robert if it was true: http://ultimateclassicrock.com/led-zeppelin-desert-trip-reunion/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
suites Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 typical Robert if it was true: http://ultimateclassicrock.com/led-zeppelin-desert-trip-reunion/It is pretty obvious that LZ would be offered to do this gig. The word was that each act was getting $7mm...then they added week 2....so each act was getting $14mm. I think that the first group they would have asked would be LZ...so this is not news to me.

Analogman Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I would think he is probably not to happy about this trial they are having to sit through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I finally heard that Spirit song on the radio last month or so - definitely hear the comparison. Crazy that it took this long to get in the courts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I think their argument is that the chords are common and are used in all sorts of songs. I suppose they have blocked any mention of the Willie Dixon lawsuit from the 1980s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Yeah, that's a fine argument, I guess. I haven't been following any of this -- I just know when I heard that Spirit tune - it was XM and I didn't realize it was the song in question - I automatically thought of Stairway to Heaven. The tune was already playing, when I turned the car on. The DJ mentioned it was the Spirit tune after it was over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I've heard it. I never got into that band. I am sure this case has sold some tracks for them this month. There is also this tune: Davy Graham - Cry Me a River Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Never seen that before, either -- cool video. I am not saying Spirit has a case - many songs sound like a lot of other songs. I am just surprised that it took so long for the Stairway case to be brought to court. Perhaps nobody really pressed the matter until recently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I think someone smelled money. It was the same with the Dixon case. Of course, there was no internet back then. They paid him off - as I recall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ditty Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 A Los Angeles jury deliberated for about five hours before deciding the band did not steal its most famous licks from another band. The plaintiff failed to show that Plant and Page were familiar with "Taurus," and that the works were substantially similar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When Blurred Lines lost I thought it was a joke, allthough when I first heard the song I thought of Got To Give It Up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
