Has anone ever seen Zed Leppelin??

[JacoLesFlea]

Zeppelin cover band( one of many, obviously) but has anybody ever seen these guys. They are here in minnesota quite a bit but I have never seen them. They are giving an outdoorconcert on Sunday and want to know if it is worth the drive to see them.

Hi.

Nope, but I did see Dread Zeppelin back in early 90's.

That was/is a funny band.

Just to prove what an old fart I am, I still have the vinyl "5,000,000*" .

That's a great record, but I'll confess that I have it on CD. My brother used to be Mojo Nixon's sound guy and road manager; Mojo did a tour with Dread and my bro got to know them. When Dread played here in Austin I got to meet them backstage before the gig. What a pack of cards!

I also saw the real deal when they did the Houses of the Holy tour. That was something.

Just to prove what an old fart I am, I saw Jimmy Page with The Yardbirds before he formed Led Zeppelin. Twice!

Yes, but in those days it was spelled "school," and we had to walk five miles through the snow to get there.

I wish these guys got back together. All of their covers are pure goodness.

I saw the real Led Zeppelin in 1974 with John Bonham - anything after that pales into insignificance!!

Yep, Knarleybass (sp?) IIRC.

Once I figure out how to scan in a pic format, I'll post a... well... an interesting pic of the band .

If he is the same guy that was with Dread when I met them back in the early/mid 90's, he played a Ashbory (Ukelele scale) bass down around his knees wearing only a grass skirt and lei. His was the first Ashbory I ever saw and heard, and I was amazed.

I saw them on the Physical Graffiti tour. Glad I did get to see them.

I was in the service in D.C in 1969, a bunch of us went up to see their show with the Who up in Maryland.

We thought Zep was loud, until Townsend hit a couple of chords. Awesome.

Saw lots of good shows that year (and in '68) while in D.C. - Jimi in Baltimore, Janis in Alexandria, VA. and others I barely remember.

August of that year, my roomie and I went up to Woodstock in his VW Microbus, didn't make it all the way in to the stage area though, as Dennis was worried about missing his discharge date (on the Tuesday, after the weekend, at 7:00AM) if we got stuck in the "disaster area" that had been declared. But we were there, in the rain and the mud and the buzz.

Good times, (except for being in the Army at the time).
