I listened to the "Dime-a-dozen" posted show.I hate to say it but there were some strange comments made here earlier.
1. they didn\'t debut any new tunes
2. Jason did his father very proud
3. I\'ve heard 100\'s of boots and the quality of this is not bad especially for a big arena
4. Robert Plants vocals were amazingly good. Definitely did not expect him to be so on at almost 60.
5. The bass is a little low but JPJ was solid as always. The keys in "No Quarter"...A+ and "Trampled Underfoot" was really funky, a great tribute to Stevie Wonder who inspired that tune.
Despite not having the great Bonzo...I think this is possibly one of the best shows since "75". By the "77" tour I find their playing (especially Page) to be loose and sloppy (actually Page was always sloppy live but that is his unique style). The European shows shortly before Bonzo\'s death always left me wanting more...and forget about anything after that...Page/Plant, The No quarter Shows, Live Aid, Atalantic re-union. This show is tight (a few mistakes but no major disasters =like Buffalo 77 where they practically stopped playing "Rock-n-Roll"). I\'m very excited at the possiblity of a tour. I was in high school and we were making plans to sleep out for tickets to their 1980 tour when, in study hall, I got the word Bonzo was dead. So it\'s been a long time hoping to someday see the band that started it all for me. Atleast there\'s some real hope!
