Re: Get The Led Out 1/14/11



Beat me to the punch!!!!  Been doing the daddy thing since early this am and
am bleary eyed as heck!

You know you're in good company, when you're standing in single digit
weather with these guys talking Zep till almost 1 am...

I am amazed by their energy, considering they had a 4 hour ride home and are
going to be out there tonight in Reading, PA  blowing people faces off
again.

My review will be up shortly along with some pics & vids...hopefully. I
think I was being all spazzed last night with my stooopid camera. or maybe
it's not the camera ? : (

> Another Friday night in the dead of the cold New England winter, yet I had
the pleasure of sharing an evening of Zep Tunes performed Live, by Get The
Led Out. The show was held in a nice, warm, and very comfortable auditorium
at the U of Fairfeild, CT, just an hour outside of NYC.
> I am enamored with the way these guys recreate so much of the depth that
J.Page created for these songs, there is very little missing when Get The
Led Out plays. (re; the Page & Crowes "Live At The Greek".)
> There is no "jamming", just "the songs", the way you know them.
> The right tools for the right sounds, the Fender bass, (Makin' the Scene
with the great big green) Ludwig drums, and the collection of guitars used
impresses me to no end, various Telecasters (one with a B-Bender), and Les
Pauls, a Strat, a Danelectro, a Gibson double neck, a SG 12 string(!), a
mondolin, Martin and Gibson acoustic guitars, and one I couldn't identify.
(Yes, there is a violin bow!)
> GTLO plays with the bigger box of crayons, Light and Shade, the colors are
there.,
> Having seen Get The Led Out back in November in NYC, I know there are many
songs in their repertoire. There is such a variety of songs played that it's
a struggle to think of which songs were not played, but why bother, (3 of my
favorites were played!), they touch all era's of Led Zeppelin.
>
> Some of the titles played that I can recall are;
> In The Evening, Good Times Bad Times, Since I've been Loving You, All My
Love, No Quarter, Dazed And Confused, The Ocean, Bron-Yr-aur, Going To
California, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, Travelling Riverside Blues, Moby Dick, Wanton
Song, Kashmir, Heartbreaker, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Stairway To Heaven,
Black Dog, Whole Lotta Love.

> For me, it's not so much about which songs are played, but how well they
are played, and GTLO plays the songs extremely well.
> If you are on the East Coast, USA, "get out of bed, get up and dance, Get
The Led Out!!
