  1. No rain. Fortunately the rain and thunder stopped before showtime. Sorry I haven't posted a review of the concert yet. Trying to go thru my photos to see if any are worth posting and my nephew's birthday is tomorrow.

    Had a good time for the most part. The best part for me was seeing the Bonham family films...I'd never seen any of these before. Loved watching him as a kid playing along to Dr. John and Bonzo playing to "Nutbush City Limits! Priceless stuff and brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face.

    The setlist was pretty good...including "That's the Way" and "Going to California", which according to Jason, they only play in California. "Fool in the Rain" was a great surprise...as was "Out on the Tiles", which was kind of a mess in spots.

    But I'll elaborate on that, and the rest of the concert when I have more time and my photos sorted. Once again, a big thank you to Patty, who made it all possible.

    Curious to read your review when you get some time. Thinking about perhaps making a drive (a rather long one) to see it next month.

  2. There are forum members who know a lot more than I do on the subject, but I think that beginning in 1973 some of Zeppelin (at least Jimmy and John Paul) had stage clothes made for them. I believe I read that the onion jacket is on display in the R & R Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH USA.

  3. Jack White at Boston University. I had a great time and will definitely see him again. A commute that should normally take no more than two hours, took me three and a half. I missed the support band. Jack had his Peacocks band at the show, those women can rock. At the start of the show, the sound was not great, especially vocals, but it improved.

    I prefer the hard rocking songs, but the entire show was entertaining. I was disappointed that the show was only an hour and a half. After reflecting on the show the following day, I think one of the reasons is that Jack White wastes no time. Not a lot of talking, no drum solos, no clothes change, just music.

    In the summer I saw Aerosmith. Although I don't like many of Aerosmith's songs from the last few decades, the show was much better than I expected. Aerosmith's show had an extended stage, smoke, drum solo, clothing changes, Tyler and Perry lifted onto the stage from below, etc. I only mention this to note the presentation differences.
