Do you have any recordings of you and your band?
Not offhand - we haven't had any real access to recording equipment, or any real need, since we only really do covers so far. I've actually written some original stuff, but we haven't played it much as a band. A couple of our live covers may have been taped though, I'll look into it.
That's cool. What kinda stuff do you cover?
A lot of Zeppelin, 'cos I can sing like Robert, and we're all huge fans. We've done Beatles and Queen and Grateful Dead stuff too though, and some Rolling Stones and that kind of thing. Just about anything from that period we'll do. We're trapped in a perpetual time-warp somewhere between 1969 and 1975.
That's cool.

Just thought I'd drop in and say that I've been listening to "The Rune Album" a lot lately and that I think it totally kix ass!!! Is that the one that's considered Zeppelin IV? I don't know a lot about the band itself I just know that songs when I hear them. I own albums I, II and the Rune one. But I love it I think it's great and I love Zeppelin!!!

Yeah, that's Led Zeppelin IV. Iv'e also heard it being called ZOSO

Led Zeppelin IV, that's the one. F*cking amazing record - all four members were at their peak, it's simply epic. Yes, it's overplayed, but Stairway to Heaven remains one of the mightiest songs in rock history. The whole record is brilliant though - IMHO, if it weren't for Abbey Road, LZIV would be the greatest album ever recorded. Of course, LZ and LZII ain't exactly slouches 'nuther, I've really rediscovered Zep's debut recently in particular. If you feel the need to expand your Zeppelin collection (you should), go in this order: Physical Graffiti Houses of the Holy Led Zeppelin III How the West Was Won (LIVE) Presence In Through the Out Door Coda

Yeah, it's up there certainly. Have you noticed the riff is the same as Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4?

Oh. Well, there's a 30-second sample [MIDI](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/clipserve/B000069KE0001014/0/103-5410890-0667816]here[/url] on Amazon.com (go down to the tracklisting), you can sort of hear it in there, but it's more obvious in this [url=http://www.garyrog.50megs.com/midi/25or6to4.mid) version.

He's some more of his awesome volunteer stuff. LONDON (Dec. 14) - Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has been honored by Queen Elizabeth II - but the award was for his work with poor Brazilian children rather than his music. The 61-year-old rocker went to Buckingham Palace on Wednesday to receive an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, or OBE, from the queen. Page said he was overwhelmed to be given the accolade, recalling how he first became involved with Brazilian children in 1994 when fighting broke out among street gangs while he was in Rio de Janeiro promoting an album. "At that time in Rio the sun wasn't shining. The army was going into the favelas (shantytowns) and I heard about the plight of the street children," he told reporters. Page joined forces with British charity Task Brazil and set up a safe house, which has supported more than 300 children. Task Brazil offers medical and psychological support, food, clothing and job training. "I think when you're faced with a plight that's inescapable, and there's something you can do about it, you hope you can make a difference," Page said. Page was a member of the '60s band The Yardbirds before helping found Led Zeppelin.

Wrote this up the other day, it's posted on Amazon.com as usual... LED ZEPPELIN (1969) - I've Got You in the Sights of My... GUUUUN!! * * * As the 1970s loomed on the horizon, the seeds of hard rock had been well-sown. Acts like Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and Jeff Beck were already wowing audiences across the globe with their guitar pyrotechnics and loud, overdriven interpretations of the blues. However, that didn't make the appearance of Led Zeppelin and their eponymous debut in 1969 any less staggering. Assembled from the ashes of the Yardbirds by guitarist Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin was a beast the likes of which had never been seen. Page's electrifying guitar wizardry; John Paul Jones' muscular basslines; John Bonham's positively seismic drumming; and Robert Plant's furious vocal orgasms were all pretty damn impressive on their own merits. But when they coalesced into the mighty Zeppelin, the resultant sound was something akin to being hit full-on by a semi at 150 mph. Never before - and seldom after - had the riffs been so hot, the drums so thunderous, the bass so sinewy and serpentine, the singing so impassioned, the sound so overwhelmingly LOUD. What stuffed shirts scared by the Beatles and Elvis thought, I don't care to imagine. This self-titled first album has little of the complexity and eclecticism of subsequent efforts. But what it lacks in intricacy, it makes up for in sheer force. What would become Zeppelin's signature head-banging, mind-bending, overbearingly intense blues-rock dominates, and man oh man does it DOMINATE. Tackling blues classics (You Shook Me, I Can't Quit You Babe) and original numbers (Good Times, Bad Times, Communication Breakdown) with equally robust aplomb, Led Zeppelin set the standard for a generation of hard-rockers. That's not to say there aren't shades of Led Zeppelin's later work: the anthemic Your Time Is Gonna Come smacks of symphonic grandeur, while Black Mountain Side is pure acoustic folk, and wouldn't sound out of place on the second side of Led Zeppelin III. The most important cut, however, may be Babe I'm Gonna Leave You: a traditional folk standard, and played as such until the bridge arrives, when all of a sudden the Zep explode into electrified overdrive, foreshadowing later epics - a little ditty called Stairway to Heaven, for one. They would go on to make better, more interesting, and more influential albums than their debut. But that doesn't diminish the impact of this original album, the world's introduction to the towering behemoth that was Led Zeppelin. * * *

Found my review from last year: 24 hours after the show sitting at home letting it burn in..thought I'd share some random thoughts: I was about 15 feet from him at stage level on the side (the HOB has a big pit in the floor with standing room on the stairs on both sides so you were eye level with him if you were on the side, so the stage is about head level if you were in the pit on the floor)...damn crowded but I just danced my way to that spot...(take some ear plugs in case you get stuck in front of the speakers...Percy cranks it.....) He came onstage damn early (8:30) we later found out...caught us by surprise....(thanks for not ragging us yet, Percarara) For me: Babe I'm Gonna Leave You: At the part where he does his killer scream "OOOHWWAAHH baby, baby, baby" with the descending chords, and then "We're gonna walk through the park everday" ... the crowd REALLY got off at that point...he just kept saying "Baby...baby...baby" MESMERIZING.. Tall Cool One : I love this song anyway so when he did his thing about Tupelo and Elvis...lifted up his glass and said "Lets do one for the King"...well, of course, we all gave him a round of rebel yells....he had a big smile on his face......The band smoked through TCO with Percy slumping down in his Vegas Elvis hip grinding move...... Sir Robert just groovin away....looking at the crowd as the band plowed rockin damn hard...I 'bout knocked the kid in front of me over about four times.....right at "Lighten up baby I'm in love with you" I was dancing and pointing right at him and he looked me straight in the eye and nodded as he was dancing...the 15 year old in front of me just whipped right around to her mom with this wild look on her face......yep, Percy's one hell of a drug Whole Lotta.. Whole Lotta Gettin Off on this one.. Even the cool moms who brought their kids did a bit of head banging on this one.......He watched the drummer a good bit toward the end so it appeared to me that they were improvising on the spot....such a killer version with all of the percussion....and Robert doing his little hippie dance in circles....so damn good... At the end he asked for the house lights to come up "so we can see everybody" he then looked at us all clapping and smiling like crazy....the band seemed to almost make him do a bow so they could leave....he really looked happy and said about four times "this is nice...this is really nice"...he made a lot of eye contact with people and waved at people in the crowd... They grabbed few people who went backstage...he was done by 10:25. .........this one will stay with me a long time... Percy's vibe is very different from McCartney.. nobody was crying at the songs..most of the kids there were just staring with their mouths open.....while the oldies like myself just settled in and danced with him.......it was so good that lots of folks were totally taken away and just stood there drooling. No doubt one of the best shows I've ever seen from anybody......

"Whole Lotta Love"-"Dazed And Confuzed"-"The Song Remains The Same"-"Rock And Roll"-and "Ramble On"-to name a few.-

WOW Stairway To Heaven, Whola Lotta Love, All Of My Love, The Rain Song and no I don't forget... Rock and Roll!!! The song that makes me more crazy... No, I can't play like Jimmy Page... I would have to practice hours and hours and who knows if... but I can sing the Robert Plant higher notes. I use "Rock and Roll" as a kind of keeping the voice in shape, in a crazy shape by the way...
