Jones Beach Last Nite (ZC)



Hey everybody,
Last nite at Jones Beach, Ted Nugent, Deep Purple and Lynyrd Skynyrd 
put on a 
great show. Nugent went on first, he played a pretty high energy set, 
as 
always. Deep Purple came on next, and they put out a great set. I'm 
not a big 
fan of DP, but I was able to recognize most of their songs. The high 
point of 
their set was obviously Smoke On The Water. On the intro to this, 
they 
started with a snippet from Stairway to Heaven which started with 
Jimmy's 
solo and went through the fast rock section (no vocals though), and 
then they 
played snippets of other songs such as, AC/DC's Back In Black, 
something from 
The Who, a small piece of Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama, and a few 
other songs 
before going into Smoke On The Water, which absolutely rocked. The 
Stairway 
part was played with a spacey sounding guitar which gave it that sort 
of Deep 
Purple spaced out sound. It was very cool. Also notable was the 
guitar on the 
Back In Black piece, he handled the riff quite well and threw his own 
style 
into it as well. Skynyrd put on a great show as well. I have seen 
them a 
couple times before, and they spiced up their set a bit definately 
for the 
better. Anyways, I thought you guys might have wanted to hear about 
the 
slight Zep sounds from the evening. If anyone was their and has some 
audio 
from any of the sets I'd like a copy.
