Remaining Led Zep members to tour?

Wasn't that in 88?

 

If you have Comcast onDemand, under music, they have a Led Zeppelin choice, and a big chunk of music culled from concert footage.
Kashmir was about nine minutes long and from a 1970 concert.
It was amazing.
Just watch all of those and save the several hundred dollars it will cost to get one lousy seat ticket.

 

Tangerine, The Rain Song, Ten Years Gone, Dazed & Confused, Dancing Days, Over the Hills and Far Away, The Lemon Song, Hey Hey What Can I Do, Fool in the Rain, Misty Mountain Hop, Going to California, All My Love, Down by the Seaside, Black Country Woman, Black Dog, Custard Pie...damn this list is getting kind of long.

 

Achilles Last Stand
Good Times, Bad Times
Communication Breakdown
Stairway to Heaven (Song Remains the Same version)
Dazed and Confused
When the Levee Breaks
Going to California

 

That's a neat trick, considering Kashmir wasn't written until 1974 or so, and performed until 1975. Also, a neat trick on the "amazing"-ness . . . . . the song is pretty overlong and repetitive, and live it's a snore compared to the blues wankfests they turn some other tunes into.

 

True, it's on Physical Graffiti, which came out in 1975. Plant reportedly wrote the lyrics while on a car trip through north Africa in 1973.

The version you saw was probably from Knebworth in 1979 ...

 

I see that the Dec. 10 show will also have Paul Rodgers on it now. Does this mean Page and Rodgers can do a Firm song, too?

Also, I had no idea about this, but Jason Bonham has been playing drums for Foreigner as of late.

 

I didn't read the first 2 pages of this thread so I apologize for DBing but if you have XM, they have an all-Zep channel (59) that runs until May.
I listen a few times a week, great stuff.

 

I'll break it down by album:

Led Zeppelin I: Fave -- You Shook Me; Worst -- Black Mountain Side
Led Zeppelin II: Fave -- What Is And What Should Never Be; Worst -- Ramble On
Led Zeppelin III: Fave -- Celebration Day; Worst -- Hats Off To Roy Harper
Led Zeppelin IV: Fave -- Misty Mountain Hop; Worst -- Four Sticks
Houses Of The Holy: Fave -- Rain Song; Worst -- The Crunge
Physical Graffiti: Fave -- Houses Of The Holy, Custard Pie (can't choose); Worst -- The Rover
Presence: Fave -- Hots On For Nowhere; Worst -- Achillies Last Stand (boring as fuck)
In Through The Out Door: Fave -- Carouselambra (deeply underrated); Worst -- All My Love
Coda: Fave -- Ozone Baby; Worst -- Bonzo's Montreux, Wearing And Tearing
Non-album: Fave -- Travelin' Riverside Blues

Presence is by far their worst album. As mentioned, In Through The Out Door is quite underrated.

Best album? As constituted, I'd go with Led Zeppelin I, but the best nine tracks from Physical Graffiti beat the best nine from I, but Graffiti has a lot of filler, so it's a tough call.

 

Man, I love "Wearing And Tearing"!

"Carouselambra" drifted through the iPod not long ago. I hadn't heard it years and it was pretty cool, way, way different than anything else they'd done but kind of indicative of where music was at the time.

My fave Zep songs, in no particular order:

"Hot Dog"

"Rock And Roll" (one of the greatest openings to any song - ever)

"Good Times, Bad Times" (fave Page solo)

"Black Dog"

"D'yer Mak'er"

"In The Evening"

 

Rock and Roll (I agree with Huggy)
Communication Breakdown
Kashmir


And I love XM channel 59.

 

Never got these guys.
Never will.
