I don't listen to FM radio. I won't allow a brainwashed DJ or program director to dictate what I'm going to listen to!

I saw this Led Zeppelin tribute band called Kashmir a few years back in Boston they were ok..

This band is from the Chicagoland area. I've seen them twice, and didn't like either performance.
This video you posted, JOHNNYROCKER, is from The Taste Of Polonia. It's an annual Polish festival that takes place at Copernicus Center, which is on the NW side of Chicago. I go to this festival at least once every year - great food, sexy polish women! , and normally good bands.

"Rampagin' Cajun" - February 28, 1975 Baton Rouge, LA.
Such a great show! I own three versions of this concert - the audience recording "Blaze", and the "Rampagin' Cajun" release by both Empress Valley & Eelgrass.

I love Hot Dog...nice to hear LZ lighten things a little bit and Plant's 50's kind of voice...not a defining song but in the face of punk/new wave at the time kind of amusing....
Led Zeppelin did that when they made "The Crunge", "Candy Store Rock" and to a lesser extent "Hat's Off To (Roy) Harper"

Glad we agree
People might also want to check out an album called Grateful Dead Expanded, which has a lot of blues, and Easy Wind from Working Man's Dead Expanded.*the comment was to Amstel
I have everything by The Grateful Dead, as well as numerous "bootlegs"

When I'm sitting around a hotel room, The Mars Hotel seems to find itself on my ipod!
You sit around hotel rooms often? LOL

All things considering, Page's heroin addiction, Bonham's heroin & alcohol use, and Plant losing his son, Karac, In Through The Outdoor was pretty good, all things considered.
What other band could have made something like Carouselambra under these circumstances?
In Through The Outdoor could be their most versatile album. No two songs resemble each other.
I find myself defending Led Zeppelin when others I know thrash this album. I remind them of all the bad things that were surrounding this band at the time.
If Bonham & Page could have kicked their habits, this record may have been a springboard for great work into the 80's.
Carouselambra, I'm Gonna Crawl, and In The Evening are solid pieces of work.

I love the Grateful Dead. I think some people don't like the Dead because they maybe are only familiar with the radio hits such as "Casey Jones" and "Truckin." The Dead were primarily a live band. If you don't think you like the Dead you might want to try listening to some of their live recordings. I saw the Dead in concert in '84; I think they may have started to decline a little bit by then but it was still a great show. I also think Jerry Garcia was an underrated guitarist.
Garcia was an awesome player.

Excellent guitar solo from Michael Schenker - a must listen! The solo screams power and passion - one of the best solos ever!

They are brutally bad!
I've always said this - they would have been great clowns performing for Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus. They needed the makeup and gimmicks because they were/are horrible musicians, that made/make pathetic music.
