Just seen Joe Bonamassa.
Soon going to see Led Zeppelin II @ Chicago's House Of Blues
Joe is the man. How was the show?

The key to liking Coverdale Page is learning to be accepting of Coverdale's voice and his sometimes stupid lyrics. Once you can deal with that, the rest nicely falls into place. I'll never be a Coverdale fan, but I now quite like his contribution to the album, apart from that one song, which will suck in perpetuity.
Very true! I'll give their stuff some more listening. Kinda forgot about the album for a while so it's about time for some revisiting.

Tame Impala are impressive and trippy live. They are one of the more interesting current bands to see in concert. Good line-up of shows you got there, Icondo.
Next concert up for me is April 30/May 1: Sleater-Kinney @ Hollywood Palladium. The return of the one of the great kick-ass bands of the post-grunge era.
Thanks Strider! This summer is gonna be a great one for concerts!
Sleater-Kinney is a really cool band, too. Kick-ass is a great term to describe them for sure. Enjoy the show!

Hey brother. I aspire to your logic, and agree fully with the observation about the voices involved, but I'll still take Coverdale. In this example, Plant is the "Coverversion", and he offers a fairly uninspired rendition. Coverdale, for all his faults, is the real deal here, irrespective of the fact that Page crafted to foundation of the track back in the Zep days.
Very fair logic DL, can't argue with that! I bet Coverdale's voice will eventually warm up to me the more I listen to it
I gotta say that this song's my favorite off the album for the moment. No doubt that'll change every other day or so

Dark Lord, I'm curious to hear what your opinion is: which version of "Shake My Tree" do you like more: Coverdale Page or Page/Plant?
Personally I'm a bigger fan of Page/Plant's version solely for the reason that I prefer Plant's voice over Coverdale's. Both versions Jimmy smokes it live, though!

Next show for me is Tame Impala at the House of Blues Cleveland on June 4th! (last day of school, too
)They're releasing a new album "Currents" soon and the tour is going to be supporting the new album. They've always been a favorite of mine and it's gonna be a great way to kick off this summer, I can't wait!
Also on the itinerary this year is Foo Fighters, The Who, and my buddy's local Pink Floyd tribute band "Wish You Were Here" a few times.

OK.
Certainly they had Strobotuners behind the amps, back then.
Still, I've used those, and they're a pain in the arse compared to even the crappiest tuner pedal we have today.
I dont know, from the modern point of view, it seems weird to change the key of a song, because you dont want to tune 4 extra strings.
However, given the time frame, that may have been the case.
I also find it odd that in all the interviews he has given to guitar magazines, not once was this question asked...
oh well.
Well, like Woz said - imagine you're a roadie and you've been out partying before the show and instead of having to retune the four strings with the much highers chance of breaking them, you have the option to only retune two. You're gonna opt for the two because
1) it's quicker
2) god knows how the show woulda went if each night Stairway was delayed because they were having difficulty re-stringing the guitar
3) everything runs smoother
4) in the words of woz, "if there's less to do, there's less to fuck up"

Anybody else here fans of these guys?? Absolutely love Josh and his work with QotSA and Them Crooked Vultures. Like Clockwork has gotta be one of my favorite albums, although I can't really wrap my head around any of their stuff pre-Rated R - not a big Nick Oliveri fan

Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Exp: Moby Dick,Bring it on Home,Communication Breakdown 3/3/15 San Diego(Salana Beach)
Gotta show Jason some love..and Tony just had a birthday March 5th:-)
Wonderful job by the group! It's cool seeing Jason have a green sparkle kit, gotta love him. But yikes, he's put on some weight! Maybe some touring will shape him up a bit like his father

I'm only 15 years old but I know what you guys are talking about with the feeling of finding something special when you buy a vinyl. There's two Exchanges around here in Cleveland and another private one called My Mind's Eye; my friend and I went up there on bikes literally every weekend to shop. My vinyl collection is larger than my digital music collection (which is a lot!!) The feeling of finding something you've been looking for is addicting! It's like I'm having a withdrawal every winter cause I can't go out and get some records!
I'm lucky here that there are still a few around, it's gonna be rough if the stores close down. Now that I think about it, I still need to go up to My Mind's Eye and get a Zep boot over in the corner I hid!But I agree, the whole concept of driving somewhere to get a physical copy of music that has value is gone. Everything is completely digital now, which is really a shame...

Maybe that smart car is Scarlett's? If she happened to move in with him, I could see that.
On a second note, was that the Tower House Jimmy was in during It Might Get Loud when he was air guitaring to Rumble? I always wondered where that was shot.

For sure Fort Worth, the original soundboard that came out on EVSD sounded great already, but then the remaster that Liriodendron did made it even better!! That soundboard has so much warmth, clarity, and band separation that no other 77 soundboard has. And that the performance is really good too, the "tight but loose" concept is strong during this show, like you mentioned Nutrocker.

^ I saw that last night! Great video, really cool effects and such.

Very cool!! Thanks for this, Sam!

Guys, seriously give this song a listen. It's one of my all time favorites, like a Doors/Zeppelin crossover. It gives me massive feels lol

Coverdale/Page

Here's a video of Coverdale with DP back in 1974.
In that respect, Glenn Hughes still sounds much much better than Coverdale does now. He still sounds great singing "Medusa" 35 years later.
Back on track, there are so many routes an aging rocker can go, it's unfortunate that Coverdale ends up having to act pathetic on stage instead of being more about the music and less about the show.
