Well....this was my first experience seeing a cover band. I didnt know what to expect. The thing is...they played the music to absolute PERFECTION - but nothing more. There was a severe feeling/emotion deficiency in everything they played. Can you imagine witnessing Stairway to Heaven, one of the most emotionally evoking tunes of all time, something that should bring a tear to my eye, played EXACTLY off the album, but just HEARING it, and nothing more...?
Thing is, I couldnt get past the superficiality of it all. I tried, I failed. Some songs worked, like Rock n Roll, but theres too much substance and emotion behind Zeppelins music that completely eluded me there.
Id say worth seeing for sure if you know what you want out of it (a loud, rock'n, drunken good time). And like I said, They played everything to near perfection, musically. I guess passionate music is more than just PLAYING it.
But hey, thats me! :mrgreen:
