Lead Zipline

Post by Slowy »

Saw them at The Vic in Devonport last night. Led Zeppelin tribute band. I figured this was a brave enough project to go check it out.

The sound, managed by Paul Crowther, was excellent. Vocals were convincing but lacking Plant's highest register. Guitar duties handled in a creditable and satisfying fashion. The drummer however was sensational; the appropriate word is explosive. A joy to behold. Paul Crowther, that most proficient and tasteful of drummers reckoned Frankie could have left half his kit at home so I teased him that Zeppelin wasn't a Jazz act.

A Covid project, 5 gigs in on as tough an act as any you could choose, it was a great performance. A well spent evening. :thumbup:

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Used to be a UK band called Fred Zeppelin. They were bloody marvelous. Saw them at The Lion in Warrington (for nostalgic poms).
