This is too good to not share...and these vids don't stay on YouTube forever.
Listen at your leisure.
These guys in 2007 make me sure I wasn't wrong about how great they were when they came on the scene...in fact, I didn't get the half of it!
Tuned down, if you don't notice, so Plant can sing to the old songs...his voice has deepened.
I can still hit three octaves, though, and I can sing along to this!

I love Zep, have all the albums and at one time all the 8 tracks. Can't forget about Sabbath. This is when rock was rock. So glad it was in my time and now that the good Lord let me live through that era. Oops, I guess we are both telling our age. Don't care, these kids now don't know what real music is. I also like the old Delta Blues.

Sarge...that has to be one of the most eloquent summations of that tiny little sliver of time we grew up in anyone could ever come up with. What a humble thing to say. God was very good to us as He loves to be...preserving us through all our idiocy and keeping two brain cells within each other's gravitational pull inside our skulls!
I'm proud of my generation. Some of them were pretty good guys and geniuses on top. Music and mathematics go hand in hand. Everything in the perceivable universe vibrates to a frequency.

Very good indeed. Down tuning the songs a bit for Plant so he could shine and having Jason Bonham on drums is about as good as it ever got after John died.
Jimmy Page is as lanky and makes the same fanny faces he did when he was a kid. Jams as well as ever. John Paul Jones is the same genius...and looked to me as if he may have had plugged sinuses.
Listen to an interview with the three of them and you really get the sense of what funny, down to earth people they've become.
This is a gem of a concert.

Ya...I tend to post stuff that requires a time commitment.

And then in 73 Floyd came out with Dark Side of the Moon. Crank that up with a strobe light and a smoke, and you're there. In 75 we had a weekend pass from Ft. Gordon, drove down to Stone Mountain. That night they played the whole album with a laser light show on the face of the monument cut into the mountain. Once in a life time experience.

Oh yeah...I spent my teen years in Jacksonville...went to Robert E. Lee high...alma mater of Lynyrd Skynyrd. I moved from SoCal just a few months after the plane crash.
Everyone was shook up. Most of those folks grew up in our little 4 square mile neighborhood.
I will say this; Jacksonville was a great place to be a teen at that time if you were into music.

You were lucky, they recorded at Fame here in my neck of the woods. There were so many back then, impossible to name them all. One of my favorites from Skynard, Simple Man. I've tried to live my life that way. Now that I'm retired I may go days without having to deal with anyone or anything on the outside. Can now truly live a simple life. Be in my secluded corner of the world. Be with nature, grow my food again and catch up with my reading. I think part of the reason for my mindset is the music from my youth. I think it made us ask questions concerning the world, but more importantly made us ask questions of ourselves.
