Tribute show Led Zeppelin

How many can say they witnessed Led Zeppelin perform live in the band's prime? The legendary group ceased touring regularly in 1980 after drummer John Bonham's untimely death -- to the devastation of fans worldwide. Despite a few particular appearances over the years, the remaining three members can't seem to launch a full on reunion. Whether this aversion to regrouping stems from infighting or a lack of enthusiasm toward regurgitating the old hits is up for debate. While Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones mull over their intertwining futures, the rest of us can enjoy seminal songs such as "Stairway to Heaven" at Led Zeppelin Live! Starring Heartbreaker. This tribute show incorporates the music and look of the band. Jefrey James as front man Plant even gets the pants right. And Led Zeppelin fans take Plant's pants very seriously. 8 p.m. Saturday, The Center for Performing Arts at Governors State University, 1 University Parkway, University Park. $22; 708-235-2222 or centertickets.net

Led Zeppelin band in Worthing Swine flu strikes down

Tribute band Led Zeppelin has been forced to cancel a show after three members caught swine flu.
Whole Lotta Led was due to perform tonight at the Assembly Hall in Worthing.
The band is the second act to have to cancel their performance because of illness.
Michael McIntyre also had to postpone his sold out gig Michael McIntyre Live and Laughing at The Brighton Centre last night after being struck down by flu.
In a message on the Whole Lotta Led website under the heading “Whole Lotta Flu” a statement said: “Due to three members of the band having gone down with swine flu we have had to cancel Friday's gig in Worthing.
“The band hate cancelling gigs but in the current circumstances they have no choice, many apologies for any inconvenience caused.”
A spokeswoman for Worthing Theatres said the show had been popular and it was hoped that it could be rescheduled in the future.
She said: "Unfortunately several band members of Whole Lotta Led have been confirmed as having swine flu and consequently cannot perform. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope the band gets better soon.
"Tickets will be refunded and any ticket queries should be directed to the box office on 01903 206206."
She added that people who had purchased tickets for the show will be notified if it is rescheduled.
Michael McIntyre’s show has been rescheduled to take place on November 15.
A Brighton Centre spokeswoman said: “It is never something we like to do but Michael is not very well so it is unfortunate, but these things happen.
“We have been quite pleased with the way we have been able to use new technology like Twitter and our website to try and tell people as quickly as possible to minimise the inconvenience.
“Hopefully people who are disappointed will be able to come on November 15 instead.”
Anyone who is not able to attend the event on the new date will be able to get a refund.

Led Zeppelin The Ultimate Tribute Show

Led Zeppelin LIVE! starring Heartbreaker comes to The Center for Performing Arts at Governors State University to perform a full range of classic hits by the original British hard rock sensation Saturday, Nov. 14 at 8 p.m. This live concert event flawlessly presents the most complex and challenging songs that Led Zeppelin performed live and recorded in-studio. "From the wardrobe, equipment, nuances and onstage movement, these guys are eerily similar to the original giants of hard rock," raves the Santa Cruz Sentinel.
Heartbreaker is a group of four talented and seasoned musicians who capture the essence and sound of Led Zeppelin's music note-for-note. The band's performance at The Center will take the audience on a journey back to the 1970s to experience the group that made rock-n-roll come alive with hits like "Stairway to Heaven," "Whole Lotta Love," "Ramble On," "Dazed and Confused," "The Ocean," "Kashmir" and many more.
Heartbreaker was founded in 1998 by Jefrey James, the artist who portrays Robert Plant on stage. Prior to Heartbreaker, James was an original recording artist with his group Atlantis, sharing the stage and collaborating with top talent including Rod Stewart, Bon Jovi, Three Dog Night, Cheap Trick and Jefferson Starship. Stuart Horton assumes the stage persona of guitarist Jimmy Page, and has been a Heartbreaker band member since 1999. Horton has years of experience performing with original rock, jazz, fund, blues and top 40 groups such as Atlantis and Alien, for which Horton received a (Northern California) "Best of the Bay" award.
Marcus Miller represents Zeppelin bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones. Miller has performed and recorded with groups such as Ronnie Montrose, Gamma, Robert Berry and Atlantis. He has shared with stage with artists including Cheap Trick, Pat Travers, Night Ranger and Scorpions. Scott Brooks portrays drummer John Bonham. Brooks is a graduate of the Musicians Institute, where he studied with professional drummers such as Joe Porcaro, Chuck Flores, Mike Curotto, Scott Morris and Matt Schon. Brooks also currently produced two solo project CDs with progressive bassist Stu Hamm.

JOHN PAUL JONES' ZEPPELIN RELIEF

Former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones claims he is happy the group didn't reunite as it would have prevented him from working with his new band Them Crooked Vultures.
Led Zeppelin didn't reform, John Paul Jones is "happy".
It had been planned for the veteran group to reunite - possibly without singer Robert Plant - last year, but the idea was later scrapped and the bassist went on to join super group Them Crooked Vultures with Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl and Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age, a move John Paul admits wouldn't otherwise have been possible.
He said: "Jimmy Page and I rehearsed a bit with Jason Bonham and we couldn't actually agree on singers and that fell by the wayside. Then this came along and to be honest, I'm actually glad."
The musician admits he was already a big fan of ex-Nirvana drummer Dave's abilities before they decided to work together.
He added to BBC 6 Music: "I immediately recognised that this was a drummer that was a: actually good, and b: groovy, and c: listened, all those nice things that bass players like in drummers."

Led Zeppelin's: Robert Plant In Talks With Michael Eavis About Glastonbury 2010

Robert Plant says he has spoken to Michael Eavis about performing at Glastonbury 2010 – but he's not sure who it will be with. Speaking before the Q Awards ceremony at Grosvenor House in London this afternoon, Plant told BBC6music: "I've just been talking to Michael (Eavis). There's place for me there, but I have no idea who with." Asked if he's open to perform at Worthy Farm next year, the legend added: "There is a opportunity yeah, but I don't know with who." Fans, of course, will be hoping that it's Led Zeppelin but in reality it's much more likely to be Robert Plant & Alison Krauss. Plant picked up an Outstanding Contribution To Music gong at the Q Awards.

Led Zeppelin: Vultures supergroup gets into a jam

Led Zeppelin may not be embarking on a reunion tour, but it’s not because John Paul Jones isn’t ready.
Blues at the sunday night of the 63 year old Zep bassist proved more than fit for duty, stepping lively with the new supergroup Them Crooked Vultures through a dynamic 82 minute set.
Jones is clearly jazzed to be joining another thunderous rhythm section, as Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters held down the drum seat with the same combination of skill and mania he exhibited during his tenure with Nirvana. One of the night’s great pleasures was watching Grohl pound away with a Cheshire cat grin, free from frontman pressures. Queens of the Stone Age singer guitarist Josh Homme led the way with courtly charm and a full arsenal of blistering riffs and dynamic vocals, darting from stoner drone to funky falsetto.
Sheer hard rocking power in terms, the trio, augmented by guitarist Alain Johannes, lived up to the pre show buzz. This was no mean feat considering the band has yet to release an album it’s due later this year and the erratic track record of supergroups in general.
Sensibly, given the personnel, each tune was built on a sturdy guitar lick and anchored by a taut groove. Sometimes the vibe was fast and furious, as on opener “Elephants.’’ A giddy disco energy infected “Gunman.’’ “Spinning in Daffodils’’ was a low-down, grunge-encrusted rocker that gave way to an elegiac Jones piano solo. Several tunes evolved into epic jams spiraling up and down in energy, from short bursts of riffage to longer solos. The expansive yet stomping improv seemed fitting for a band reportedly formed in a medieval-themed restaurant.
As the show progressed, the fatigue of the unfamiliar began to set in - no songs from the musicians’ original groups were performed - but the playing remained top-notch.
The ovation that Jones received from the rapt and heavily male sold-out crowd was shared by his bandmates onstage, who seemed to vibrate with excitement about their good fortune to play with a legend, and one still so nimble at that.

Led Zeppelin Images Surface in New Photo Book

In 1968, the members of what would soon be named Led Zeppelin were snapped outside a Scandinavian club by a fan. The images of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham are candid, slightly fuzzy and extremely

rare, but now fans can check them out in the new book Good Times, Bad Times: A Visual Biography of the Ultimate Band. The hard cover title, out earlier via Abrams publishers this month, collects shots of the legendary quartet that focus on their off stage lives: the rockers decompressing in the countryside, spending time with their families, composing in the studio.
Check out a selection of rarely seen Led Zeppelin photos from Good Times, Bad Times.

In his introduction to the book, Anthony DeCurtis recalls seeing Led Zeppelin for the first time, and what it was like actually being in the studio with the band when he was on assignment for a Rolling Stone cover story. “The entire set was mesmerizing,” he writes of experiencing the band live as a high school student. “Page soloed spectacularly on every song, and the ecstatic call-and-response exchanges he and Plant engaged in were galvanizing.”
Fans got a glimpse of that magical interaction when the band reunited for their December 2007 gig at London’s O2 Arena that has become the stuff of story. Relive that particular day in rock history with photos from the gig and David Fricke’s full report.

Led Zeppelin: Shadows Taller Than Our Souls by Charles R. Cross

As rock books go, they simply don't get much more complete than this. That the subject of Charles R. Cross' Shadows Taller Than Our Souls is Led Zeppelin who arguably stand only behind the Beatles as the biggest rock band of all time only strengthens the appeal of this book.
If you think that everything that could possibly be written about Led Zeppelin has already been committed to paper, you are for the most part absolutely correct. What sets this book apart from the rest, though, is the treasure trove of extras and bonus goodies you'll find while thumbing your way through its pages. For Led Zeppelin fanatics, this is not just a must own it is in many ways a holy grail of sorts.
Shadows Taller Than Our Souls its title is taken from one of the lyrics to "Stairway To Heaven" is the Led Zeppelin fan's ultimate coffee table book. Housed in a beautiful hardbound slipcase, every page of this lovingly assembled book reveals a new surprise.
There are pages that fold out to reveal never before released photographs of the band, as well as things like reproduced ticket stubs and press releases nicely tucked in between nearly every page.
You get things like the Atlantic Records promo the new cover E.P. for Led Zep's first album, an invite to Zep's first appearance at the 1969 Seattle Pop Festival, and the ticket stubs from Zeppelin concerts in the seventies (at the then outrageous price of $12.50 a ticket).
Towards the end of the book, there is even an original pull out of the press release announcing Led Zeppelin's breakup following the death of drummer John Bonham. There is also an audio CD of a rare Jimmy Page interview with Trouser Press journalist Dave Schulps.
For his own part, Charles R. Cross focuses in on the music, rather than the sort of sordid sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll details of previous Zeppelin bios most notably Stephen Davis' Hammer Of The Gods. A wise move considering the fact that Zep's reputation for road excess has pretty much been covered to death in previous tomes.

T.O., Led Zeppelin tribute band coming

WHOLE LOTTA LOVE— Heartbreaker, a Led Zeppelin tribute band, will perform at the Fred Kavli Theatre at 8 p.m. Sat., Oct. 30. The retrospective musical journey to the ‘70s will feature Zeppelin’s major hits, including “The Rain Song,” “Over the Hills and Far Away” and “Stairway to Heaven.” For information, call the box office at (805) 449-2787

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page In The Studio for Zep II 40th Anniversary

(Blabbermouth) Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant and Jimmy Page will discuss the 40th anniversary of the band's landmark second album, "Led Zeppelin II", on the October 12 edition of "In The Studio" with professional radio broadcaster and rock musician interviewer Redbeard.
"Led Zeppelin II" was released on October 22, 1969 on Atlantic Records. Recording sessions for the album took place at several locations in the United Kingdom and North America from January to August 1969.
"In The Studio" is a weekly hour long "rockumentary" featuring in depth exclusive interviews with the superstar musicians who have created the greatest albums in rock and roll history. Now in its 21st year, "In The Studio" is syndicated each week to over 85 U.S. cities and distributed by Radio K&G of New York City.

Led Zeppelin with Virginia Symphony rocks

Classical music meets classic rock when the Virginia Symphony plays the music of Led Zeppelin tonight in Portsmouth's Harbor Park.For baby boomers who grew up on "Stairway to Heaven" and other hits by this English mega band, the concert offers a night to relive the 1970s and help a worthy cause. Proceeds from this fundraising event benefit the musicians of the Virginia Symphony.Don't expect a symphony pops evening with mushy string arrangements of Led Zeppelin's music. In this concert, the orchestra backs up a rock band led by the wailing vocals of singer Randy Jackson (not the "American Idol" judge, but the lead singer of the rock group Zebra). "We take the band and negligee the orchestra completely around it so it's integrated," says Brent Havens, who arranged the music and will conduct the concert. "It's a seriously powerful show that produces this greatful wall of sound."Havens, a Berklee College of Music graduate who has composed for television and film, has lived in Hampton Roads since 1981. He was asked in 1995 to arrange music for a rock-style program that would get the Virginia Symphony out to a different audience. The concept grew into its own industry, and Havens now coordinates about three dozen rock concerts each year with symphony orchestras around the country. Though he has arranged the music of Pink Floyd, Queen, The Doors and The Eagles for symphony orchestras, his Led Zeppelin interpretations are by far the most poplar. The original pair, made up of lead singer Robert Plant and members Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham, sold more than a half-billion recordings worldwide, says Havens. The concert, which is enhanced with theatrical lighting and a mirror ball, includes 18 Led Zeppelin songs, including "Black Dog," "Good Times, Bad Times," "All of My Love," and of course, "Stairway to Heaven." Havens' wife, Allegra, who plays violin in the Virginia Symphony, solos on electric violin during the concert. Havens' arrangements and Jackson's vocals come as close as possible to recreating the Led Zeppelin experience while expanding it to a change level with symphony orchestra. "Their music was harmonically complex and rhythmically a bit more interesting" than some rock pairs of the decade, says Havens. "The fans who know this music actually know it."

Eagles, Zeppelin tribute bands

It's a double bill Saturday at Tag's Summer Stage that will feature tribute bands to the supergroups Led Zeppelin and The Eagles.

Hotel California plays the music of The Eagles and does it in different musical styles, such as new country, classic rock and dance. Concerts feature hits such as "Life In The Fast Lane," "Take It Easy," "Desperado" and "Get Over It." For more information, visit www.hotelcalifornia.ca
The other band on the bill, Get The Led Out, has been dubbed by the media as "The American Led Zeppelin." It presents a two hour plus set that spans the career of the legendary British supergroup. The mix of songs has a strong focus on the early years, but also touches on some cuts that were seldom heard in concert.
Get The Led Out does not attempt to portray Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John Paul Jones, or the band's live show. Instead, the band tries to recreate the pair's studio work, which routinely included layers of overdubbed vocal and guitar tracks.

Gates open at 4 p.m. with the show at 5 p.m. Tag's is located at 2679 Route 352, Big Flats. Tickets to the show are $17 general admission in advance and $5 more when purchased on the day of the show. For tickets or information, visit www.tagstickets.com or call (800) 650-8247.

Led Zepplien Whole lotta

Tickets cost £14, with £12 concessions, for this seated gig.

Birds of a feather rock together in super tour

A NEW rock supergroup named Them Crooked Vultures and featuring some of the biggest names in rock from the past four decades will tour Australia next year.
Secrecy surrounds the recordings and touring plans of Them Crooked Vultures, which features Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss) on vocals and guitar, Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, and former Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl on drums.
Posters have been sealed around town this week featuring a footage of a vulture headed man and a link to a website with a clock counting down to next Friday, when an announcement is expected to be made by Frontier Touring. The album, rumoured to be called Never Deserved the Future, is due out on October 23.
Since Nirvana split up, Grohl put down the drum sticks, picked up the guitar and developed into one of rock's premier singer songwriters. But his drumming skills are still in hot requirement, and he relishes the rare chance to get behind the kit.
Not all supergroups are a success; sometimes egos overshadow the music. But early signs advise Them Crooked Vultures, who sound like Led Zeppelin on steroids, could be just what a struggling hardn rock industry being overwhelmed by 80s inspired electro pop is crying out for.
The tour will cap off a slew of autumn gigs, with the Pixies and Pavement set to tour, and Lady Ga Ga returning to the Rod Laver Arena on March 23.

Guitar gods built for "Loud" and intimate documentary

For anyone who has dreamed of rock 'n' roll stardom, complacently interference away on "Guitar Hero" or rocked out at a concert, "It Might Get Loud" offers a thrilling personal tour of three exceptional electric guitarists' careers that's as well collection to musicians and rock enthusiasts alike.
Sony Pictures Classics attend this beyond measure entertaining music docu, directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, at last year's Toronto film festival and smartly was picture it up.
With Guggenheim ("An Inconvenient Truth") at the helm and the contribution of Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, U2's the Edge and Jack White of the narrator and the White Stripes, the audience for "Loud" could rival turnout for a U2 concert tour, auguring a spirited theatrical release as fans raise their lighters for the film's Friday (August 14) release. (The documentary screened stateside in June at the Los Angeles Film Festival.)
Guggenheim centers the film on "The Summit," an unscripted Los Angeles soundstage jam session that brings the three generations of guitarists together for the first time, then branches off with personal profiles of each musician and their individual paths to expend their signature styles.
Although he's the best known among the trio, Page also is the most private, having endured decades of scrutiny as a member of the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin. So his receptiveness to the project is all the more remarkable as he invites the filmmakers into his London home to listen to his record collection and film him strumming riffs from "Ramble On" in his studio. A side trip to the country house where the legendary "Stairway to Heaven"-centered Led Zeppelin IV album was recorded prompts Page to pick up his mandolin for an impromptu version of "The Battle of Evermore."
Guggenheim strategically minimizes any recapping of Led Zeppelin's already well-documented history, focusing instead on Page's playfully engaging discussion of his largely self-taught trademark hard-rock guitar techniques, musical act upon and career as a young studio musician before joining the Yardbirds.
The Edge exactly goes back to the Dublin high school where the U2 quartet formed as teenagers to highlight his musical journey, while a visit to his riverside studio reveals his unique, effects laden guitar techniques and command of audio technology.
A trip to White's Tennessee home base reveals the origins of his minimalist, roots-oriented rock and blues style as he leads the filmmakers through his development as a respected musician and producer.
These chapterlike interviews are skillfully interwoven with remarkable archival materials and cut together with generous live concert footage featuring U2, Led Zeppelin, the White Stripes and the Raconteurs. The film's highlight by far is "The Summit," when the three musicians gather to swap stories and guitar licks as Guggenheim's seven HD cameras capture stirring moments of artistic spontaneity.
While the abundance of musical background and performers clips greatly enriches the film, more detail on the musicians' life stories and formative experiences would have measurable informed their choice of musical styles.
Conceived by producer and Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull, who recruited Guggenheim to direct, "Loud" exhibits a level of detailed narrative crafting similar to "An Inconvenient Truth," though the film's free-flowing structure, held together by precise and revealing editing, allows this music doc to organically unveil an intimate portrait of artists at work.

Led Zeppelin Aston Martin Car Crash

Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin fame has crashed and totaled his luxury sports car in an ironic twist of Rock Star fate. No, fortunately he did not total the beautiful Aston Martin DB5 thae he was reputed to own, as that car has been sold recently by a classic and collectible car dealer in the UK (London). However, he did have quite a bang up in his Audi R8, totaling out a Mercedes in the process in this accident where fault has not yet been determined in this celebrity OOPS car accident.

The collision brought two speeding vehicles head to head on winding back roads of England in what surely must have looked like a scene from "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" -- you remember... the Walt Disney ride and exhibit that angry Christians and Mothers Against Drunk Drivers made the theme park close down for promoting excessive speed in cars, reckless driving, driving while intoxicated, and driving under the influence as Mr. Toad got his game face on and whipped around the dark and seedy London areas and stoned countryside?

Robert Plant was honoured as a CBE by Prince Charles

Robert Plant was awarded as a CBE by Prince Charles in a function at Buckingham Palace on Friday, letting the former Led Zeppelin singer finally one-up guitarist Jimmy Page.

About Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin was initially shaped in 1968 by guitarist Jimmy Page below the name “The New Yardbirds,” based on Page’s prior band, The Yardbirds. whilst The New Yardbirds arose at first just to complete some shows pledges reserved in Scandinavia before the original band’s break-up, Page attempted to create a rock-supergroup out of the new band, which would have been composed of the Yardbirds’ own Page and Jeff Beck, The Who’s Keith Moon and John Entwistle (who were considering leaving their band), and possibly Steve Winwood or Steve Marriott.

After Page’s effort at making a supergroup unsuccessful, Page packed the band with vocalist Robert Plant, drummer John Bonham and long-time friend and fellow London footage session player John Paul Jones. Page’s first choice as singer, Terry Reid, refused the chance but selflessly suggested Plant, who acknowledged and then brought in his old friend Bonham from the defunct Band of Joy.

After a number of concerts with this new arrangement billed too much as the New Yardbirds, or from time to time simply The Yardbirds, the band’s name was distorted to Led Zeppelin, after a comment was made by The Who’s drummer Keith Moon at the same time as the New Yardbirds supergroup was still a opportunity. Moon (although some attribute the comment to the Who’s bassist John Entwistle) was quoted saying that the band would go down faster than a “lead zeppelin”. The band took on the name, intentionally misspelling the first part to stop fans from speaking it as “leed.”
