I saws Zep in 1975 at the cotton bowl....the old one at the Dallas fairgrounds

I was disappointed

I think Plants voice is weird in its progression

Mo is right ....after Iv it was a little different

But the weird thing ....is it’s been fairly steady since even as an old man..he and Paul Rodgers can still wail

As can Colin Blunstone who’s really old and who’s tone requires serious pipes

I ageee with Jack Black.....greatest ROCK band ever....I just like Pages melody and imagery and sourcing and Plants and Pages lyrics

Jonseys arrangements....what a kind man

And of course Bonzo

You can’t top it

Floyd close second....David Gilmour another institution

Best rock and rolll band....mick and keef......no question

But right now I’m listening g to Who’s Next for the 10001st time

Daltrey still sounds good

This is so subjective and age dependent

Were I under 45 I might say Tool

My little brother might say Maiden

And I like other genres....I think Joy Division and Ian Curtis ...rip deserve to be in the stupid RRHOF

Now it’s love ain’t t for keeping...Makes me want a naked woman....always had...lol...great song

My gen was so blessed with music...probably our greatest boon

Kept me alive I’d been dead by 45 any other era

The Grateful Dead are an institution but are not great ....musically ...and I love them....esp the Pig era

I also like Winwood endeavors and Ronnie Van Zandt

And I think Duane Allman player guitar well as anyone

And SRV....
Were lucky for our music

[dfwgator]

As can Colin Blunstone who’s really old and who’s tone requires serious pipes

You mean "Old and Wise"

I’d go back in time to see SRV as long as I could take my baby with me.

I saw Zep in ‘77 at the L.A. Forum and was disappointed as well. Page played sloppy and he looked like a skeleton — his heroin addiction was at its peak that year. And although I enjoy an extended No Quarter, 40 min. is a bit much. Show must’ve been 3 1/2 hours.

Tours I’d most liked to have seen but were just a little before my time (sticking to bands per the thread title, not individual artists):

Cream, ‘68
Blind Faith, ‘69
The Band, ‘69 (“The Brown Album”)
Traffic, ‘70 (Barleycorn)
Allman Bros, ‘71 (Idyllwild South)
Tull, ‘71 (Aqualung)
The Who, ‘71 (Who’s Next)
Zep, ‘71-‘72 (IV)
Stones, ‘72 (Exile)
Floyd, ‘72 (Dark Side)
Skynyrd, ‘74 (Second Helping)

Probably missed a few.
