Re: Page - Syracuse '88 Video Review

["KIRSTEN M. LOVETT" <kmlovett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, 
I just wanted to totally agree with you that Michael Lee is a god sent.
When I first saw the P/P Unledded video, I kept thinking "IS this guy for
real".  He has a unique style of his own but it is very much in line with
the Zeppelin "tradition" (big fat drum sound with a lot of finesse)  I've
only heard Jason a few times and I was unimpressed.

I hope Lee stays with the band.  Wasn't he Plant's drummer for a while a
couple of years ago?
