The Song Remains the Same

[Ritchie200]

Was doing some paperwork tonight and popped in Zep's live video.  Now I know it had some substantial overdubs...  However, I tend to forget the magic (or was it Magick ) that they had!  Wow, what a performance.  I did see them back in the 70's and it was a terrible show.  But you gotta love Jimmy's falling down lead runs that sound like Neil Young on crack and then suddenly it comes together and makes sense.  And the melodies on that double neck...  My wife always makes fun of Percy blurting out, "Does anybody remember laughter?" during Stairway!  But I think his vocals were pretty good throughout.  I remember dragging my band at the time to see this movie in the theater.  Boy did we have high hopes after watching that!  Ahhh, the good 'ol days.....
