    A few "Mock Rock" Phtots!

    The band: Led Zepagain stole the show. They were perfect in every way. If you ever get a chance to see them, DO IT. If you are too young to have seen Led Zeppelin, just see these guys. It's as close to the real thing as they were in the 70's.

    Even Jimmy Page was blown away by these guys. Said something to the effect that he could not believe how much they guys sound and act like them.

    Looks like a great time was had by everybody. I wonder if Led Zepagain acted like Led Zepplin AFTER the show as well!

    Jimmy must think he's looking in a mirror every time he sees that guy.

    Yeah, the red hair, the high forhead...it's all there.

    The other one looks like old Robert got off the heroin and put on a few pounds. He's got the stance right though.

    Yes, I shot the with digital zoom. At 2mp mode. My digital zoom with only work in 2mp.. I guess I could have put them in 4mp mode and zoomed in later. I did that even on the digital zoom photos anyway.

    You can see from the stadium shot, we were pretty far from the stage.

    Actually Jimmy Page is looking pretty good nowadays.. Here is a photo from the Zepagain webs site.



    Pretty good story also on their web site: http://www.zepagain.com/

    The guitarist's account of the evening they met him is a really fun read! One could only imagine what it must've been like.

    Cool. I was the guitar tech for Zepagain when they first started out through the time Swan joined the band. None of the members are original. That's my old doubleneck (it's not a real Gibson) that they are STILL using. If you look close, you may think to yourself - hey, Gibson never made bolt -on necks! I think the headstock inlay is different from Gibson, too. It started life as a lawsuit-era Ibanez. It had two output jacks at one point, one for each neck. You can still see the hole.
    No neck, no problem

    There was a Led Zeppelin tribute band called Michael White and the White that came around my place a few times. They did a Zeppelin discography series, so the first time they came they did LZ I entirely, then a few weeks later they came again and did LZ II entirely and so on... they got to The Song Remains The Same album last time they were around. Apparently they were pretty awesome. (i couldn't go. 18+ show )
    Very cool pics though, Phtot. Looks like you had a good time :)

    Thanks guys.
    Yes, I could tell when I zoomed in it was not a Gibson.
    Like they say, the audience does not care, they just want to rock.

    Were they as good when they started out as they are now? Man, they really nail it now.

    PG-
    I remember when Swan was with the last Led-Zeppagain band. I always thought that band was better. They were alot more dynamic. The recent carnation of the band is good but there are a few things the last band was better at.
