Bassist Greg RzabFind albums by this artist is overdubbed on two tracks.
The sound and feel of the music offers a remarkable resemblance to what Led Zeppelin sounded like on stage, which is hardly surprising. The lead vocals might not be as spectacular as those by Robert PlantFind albums by this artist, but are definitely quite fitting, and the entire concert is a brilliant tribute to Led Zeppelin in every respect. The original material by the Black Crowes is not bad either.
Overall, the album is a great fun to listen to and for Hard Rock / Led Zeppelin fans is an absolute must. The additional material is definitely worth having and despite the fact that the music was recorded at the very end of the 20th Century, it is Classic Rock stuff every inch of the way. Obviously Page is as perfect as always, which goes without saying. I had a blast!
