re-experienced

Led Zeppelin Experience

Have you ever been re-experienced? The original bands are no longer going concerns, but the music of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and other classic-rock heroes is evergreen, with younger generations discovering music known well by parents and grandparents. And so, serving nostalgia and new crowds alike, touring road shows Experience Hendrix, Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience and Classic Albums Live do big business.

The Show: Basically a whole lotta Zeppelin, with hard-rock blues (Dazed and Confused, Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, and an encore of Stairway to Heaven included) accompanied by dazzling lighting and effects.


MUSIC

The History: Bonham, who drummed for the one-off Zeppelin reunion in 2007, leads a North American tour on the 30th anniversary of his father’s death.
