  1. Mick Wall's Led Zeppelin: When Giants Walked the Earth is a really good book about Zeppelin's music rather than their alleged off-stage antics. I can highly recommend that one.

    That one has been way to hard for me to get into. I like it, but i like a mix of both. i find his narrations of the different band members boring actually. It's way too technical. Jimmy Page; Magus, Musician, Man is a very good read. Richard Cole's book Stairway to Heaven Uncensored is all about band's history and what it was like for him to work with them. A great read!

  2. Not trying to steal Steve's thunder here, but I'd guess it was a combination of (1) physical deterioration and (2) modernisation/streamlining of the set. After all, Moby Dick/Over the Top often lasted longer than certain punk bands' entire sets.

    I for one was pleasantly surprised that there was no drum solo at Knebworth. I'd take 4 or 5 extra 'proper' songs over a Bonzo snore-athon anytime. Sorry, Bonzo.

    Perhaps the band could have made the song shorter and maybe only do 5 to 10 minute drum solo. That wouldn't be so bad and then they could have left it in the setlist if they desired.
