What about Coverdale Page?



Ok, I see all this WIC -vs- Zooma stuff, but how come nobody ever mentions 
C/P.  I mean come one...this CD could have followed Presense as far as 
technique, style and shear ROCK goes.  I can understand people not liking 
David Coverdale, or his tongue in cheech sexual innuendo, but 
seriously...this is one of the best fat out rockers around.   Shake My Tree 
(opening riff from ITTOD sessions I believe) is fantastic, Don't Leave Me 
This Way, excellent heavy blues with as much atmosphere as Tea For One, Over 
Now, Whisper A Prayer....etc.  I mean there are crappy tunes too, like 
Feeling Hot, but whay can't these guys have fun??

The Tour:  I have heard a number of excellent DAT boots and seen one 
video...wow, excellent show.  The set was graet and I thought David did a 
great job with the Zep tunes.  Kashmir was fantastic as was In My Time of 
Dying albeit David could have dropped the "oh my Jesus" part.  The little 
acoustic set with pagey sitting down was cool, sort of 77ish.  And Coverdale 
did not take away from Page...he made Page the star of the shows, as he 
should be.   

So I cannot understand all the talk of WIC and Zooma and the disregard for 
C/P.  I don't think it is fair to dicount a project simply because of 
Coverdale's involvement.  I think David was great for Jimmy.  Pagey's playing 
on C/P IMO is the best since Presense, and better than No Quarter or WIC.

I would seriously welcome C/P 2 or a CD with unreleased C/P work.  At least 
it would ROCK!!!

Ok...let the killing begin!!
