Incredible experience.
by AJ on 21/07/2024Any Led Zep tribute generates high expectation. The appeal to hear the IV album end to end was the draw card (rather than just hearing cover band hits). Was surprised the major hits made up the first half as opposed to kicking in with the album, but the band executed some incredibly challenging numbers to an extremely high standard. It was good to include both well known hits like Good times bad times, Dazed and Confused, Trampled Underfoot as well other songs like What is and What Should Never Be, The Ocean and others which one doesn’t typically hear live in such a setting. Calibre of performers in the band and the vocalists were incredible. Was great that EJ Barnes was able to join the crew and hammer out her songs. Milan’s energy on his songs and emotional commitment (especially on When the Levee Breaks… complete with harmonica), was next level. So pleased Seamus lead Four Sticks… probably the highlight… he got pipes. Oh and Julia taking inspiration from Stevie Nicks ‘Gold Dust Woman dance’ in her cape through No Quarter shower total emotional investment in the song’s spirit. The encore with the *big hitters* Kashmir and Whole Lotta Love was expected, but was a nice surprise to get Ramble On in there too! These “Come Together” concerts highlight the fact that we have a great level of talent and musical expertise down under and that the contributors original work needs to be valued just as much as their passion to play concerts like these!
