Live Zeppelin

October 19th, 2007

After a week of posting stuff about King Crimson and other music out on the fringes, I decided it was either something classic like Led Zeppelin or hardcore disco. I went for Zeppelin.

I don’t know if people appreciate the depth that Led Zeppelin had as a band. Aside from the classic rockers and blues jams (like this version of “Since I’ve Been Loving You”), Zeppelin did experimental acoustic music, were innovative geniuses in the studio, and played around with odd time signatures, harmonies, technology and ethnic sounds. A testament to their brilliance is the stark difference between the mastery they demonstrated in the studio and how loose and improvisatory they were live.
