Oh, the Zeppelanity!  |
Other than the comment about Plant losing his range, your comment pretty much describes a Zeppelin concert in their prime, as well. Zeppelin has never been all that great in concert even when they were still in their 20's. Page is one of the sloppiest live guitarists I've ever heard (he's a monster in the studio, but he just sucks live). The only time I've heard Page sound good live was when he did that tour with The Black Crowes. And, mainly because he had two guitarists backing him up. When he stands alone in what is virtually a power trio, he's crap.
