Entertainment Weekly's (weak) review of BBC Sessions



Although they gave it a good review, they really didn't say much about
it....

Taken from the November 28, 1997 #407 issue of Entertainment Weekly...

Listed under "Reissues":

Led Zeppelin The BBC Sessions (Atlantic)

Let Page and Plant time warp you back to a pre-Physical Graffiti era when
Zep were still breathing blues fire.  These oft-bootlegged live shows
from '69 and '71 (remastered by Jimmy himself) are sloppy, gravy thick,
and rife with inspired Page-Plant interplay.  Granted, two versions of
"Dazed and Confused" is a bit excessive.  But nasty roadhouse takes of
"Black Dog" and "Whole Lotta Love" make this double-disc set a must-own
for Zep heads. B -TL

- -END

My comments:

WAY to much talk of Page and Plant only when it comes to this release. 
Not a mention of Bonzo or Jones!?  Dazed and Confused is a bit
excessive??  Well, how about Communication Breakdown showing up three
times on one disk??

I felt that this review could have been longer but what can I say

!  Immigrant Song kicks ass!!
