LZ was absolutely brilliant in the studio, but fell flat live.
I agree their live work was not as good as some peers
A band much picked on as eccentric but most flawless show I ever saw was Jethro Tull Aqualung tour and some 20 minutes of Brick too but mostly Benefit and Lung
Some Stand Up
Ian Anderson perfectionist as ever had a stereo speaker setup in a large coliseum, 10,000 max seating floor and stands
Thats a tall order but he did it and it sounded excellent for that limited acoustics venue
agreed..i saw em twice live and was not impressed. The first album is just awesome...changed the direction of music. Hard, album oriented rock took over the next 20 years...
