Chicago show and US tour is over!

["Kevin Kreis" <kkreis77@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey everyone...

Well it's late, and after getting a ticket from a scalper here are 
some 
observations I had of the Chicago show tonight.  First off, Plant was 
in 
good voice and many people know that I have done some harsh Plant 
bashing in the past about his voice.  Granted he is beyond his prime, 
but he sounded pretty good tonight.  I still get a little annoyed 
with 
the Egyptian yelps and the Yallah stuff, but that's just my opinion.  
In 
the Light was great, I still don't know which version I prefer, the 
P/C 
one or the Plant version.  Morning Dew, Hey Joe, Season, and other 
songs 
turned into some really cool jam sessions...the screen in the 
background 
had the whole 60's Fillmore effect to it, maybe it was intended that 
way. However, some songs such as BIGLY and WLL just are not the same 
without Jimmy's presence, yes they were good but something was really 
missing.  The crowd was really into the Zeppelin tunes as always, but 
as 
soon as something unfamiliar was played there was a mad rush to the 
bathrooms...sound familiar from the P/P tours???  Overall a great 
show, 
and when I have more I will try to post a complete setlist if one 
hasn't 
been posted already.  One thing to point out was the 3 encores...the 
3rd 
encore ended with "Song for the Siren" which was unfamiliar to most 
people again, and ended up leaving anyway.  Oh, and one more thing to 
point out was Plant's comments at the end of the 3rd encore...he 
mentioned that a new cd is in the works and will be released shortly. 
 
So even Plant is leaking more information about the cd than I 
expected.  
Anyway, that's it for now folks...good show but the Zeppelin tunes 
are 
just not the same with Jimmy, or Jonesy for that matter.

Later
