The Led Zeppelin exploding into infinity and fire
Dazed and confused indeed.

Dang, I thought the pic would show... Unfortunate event, but awesome cover for an album.. 1969.. And the first was the blues fo sure... Lot's of good music in that era.
I got an old music thread floating round on the EE, but in some situation I think that the coversation exceeds music board stuff.. IE- Thread could jack into generation gap.. Human Exspansion, Cultural awareness...
US and World views...
Can you imagine?
Joe

Bit of Trivia. The Band was going to be called the "New Yardbirds," but decided jokingly that they should call themselves a "lead Zeppelin" [going over like a lead balloon], but decided to change the spelling for fear that Americans would mispronounce it.

REb, are you familar with the hindenburg in 1936 being a historian and all?
I had heard that the makers of the zeppelins actually held out putting the Nazi emblem on it but had too eventually to stay in business.
and I heard that the photographer actually won a Pulitzer Price for his shot, and it in the Smithsonian right now as a time capsule for pre WWII followers and consessuiers

Allegedly it was Keith Moon who, upon hearing of a band being formed with Page, Plant, Jones, and Bonham, said they would go over like a lead balloon.

I like The Led Zeppelin.
I also like The Pink Floyd.
Rolling Stones are good as well as The Black Sabbath.
You can have my interchangeable definite articles when you pry them from my cold dead hands.

Way back in 1970, when I was 13 and my brother was 15, the first Rock & Roll album he ever purchased was Led Zeppelin II, somebody at school told him about it. This was our introduction to Heavy Metal, I learned air guitar listening to "Whole Lotta Love". Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham, truly, as Reb said, the greatest band ever.

Countdown To Kickoff

Led Zeppelin is still one of my all time favorite bands.
If you'd like to see a pretty good cover of the mighty Zeppelin, try to catch Zoso whenever they come to your area. I saw them at the Varsity Theatre in Baton Rouge and I was impressed!
No, the lead vocalist doesn't have the range and power of Plant, but the guitar and drums more than make up for it. Besides the sound, they imitate well the look and performance of Zeppelin.
Here's a bit on them if you've never seen them.

Rock On!
