Not so. Saw them in Detroit for their "Houses of the Holy" tour. They were awful. Without question it was the worst concert I ever went to. We all have bad night's where we're not quite on top of things and I'm no exception. But this was nothing but drunken slop. It's the only concert I attended where I walked out of halfway thru. Fact is, I found out that some people I met years later were at that same show and they even left early!
I love Zep's music and John Paul Jones was and still is one of my hero's. Just wish I could have been at one of the show's from thier "How the West Was Won" DVD." Great stuff.
Even stoned groups that have(or is it had?) a blues singer as their front man have bad days.
