They can go hand in hand I think, but it is the sound of the music first that gets me going.

VH1-classic aired "The Song Remains the Same" this afternoon and I saw that part on D&C and I know exactly what you mean about the bass part hooking you and then when Jimmy comes in.......ah, powerful stuff!!

You-The Babys

Agreed beatbo!! I know I would be a bit intimidated standing onstage next to Robert! Yes, Alison is alot more relaxed and loosens up more with Union Station. Back to the topic, I certainly agree with Paul about them not being the same without Robert.

Here's a couple more: Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree-Brenda Lee Where Are You Christmas-Faith Hill There are so many out there!!

No HYE gone hiking?

LOL, ok. Looks like she was having a blast, well who wouldn't being up there on stage with the boys!!

Oh yes Aquamarine, I see what you are saying about their live audience. I am not sure really, it is an interesting question though.

No HYE watched a Christmas movie during the summer?

That is very sad!! I heard about it on the news earlier. It is so ridiculous that some people act like maniacs turning violent just to catch a sale, it is so not worth it!! I wouldn't be in those crowds for anything.

Trampled Underfoot has to be my favorite! Jonesy has alot of soul in his bass and keyboard playing.

What I love about Zep is not only the hard rock they brought to their music, it is the blues influences in it as well. I grew up on the blues, jazz, r&b and gospel and the Zeppelin members influences were many blues and r&b artists as well so that shows in alot of their music. They have so many different styles that I think just about anyone can relate to it. As far as hip hop/rap, it seems many of those artists use alot of Zep samples, well in particular, the Beastie Boys on "License to Ill". I was reading Rolling Stone mag last year and Wyclef Jean said something along the line of, "there isn't a hip hop producer out there that doesn't know a Zeppelin beat, the drum sounds as a producer, you live to sample that, they are the blueprint of rock." I thought wow, that is an awesome compliment!! I think Zeppelin has a little bit of something for everyone.

More great pics Otto, thanks for sharing! Wonder who is that lady sitting on Bonzo's shoulders and dancing with Robert onstage in some of the other pics?
