Hey there, followers [stalkers]. Haven't been on in a while. I was going to attempt a review a few weeks ago, but unfortunately, blogger was down and now I have forgotten the topic. Luckily, I have a new one. As some of you know, although not many, I went to a concert with my father to celebrate my 17th birthday, which is tomorrow. Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience was playing at The Pageant in St. Louis, MO. As much as I prefer Chicago, this would be my only chance to see this amazing (for lack of a better phrase) tribute band. I had the time of my life. This was actually my first non-christian concert. Now I've been to several shows where non-christian bands had played, but this was the first concert. Here's a little background on the band: Led Zeppelin was a London super-group that originated in 1968, and consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, drummer John "Bonzo" Bonham, bassist John Paul Jones (not the Navy Admiral), and singer Robert Plant. Led Zeppelin is the definition of good music. They played great music until John's unfortunate death in the year 1980. Luckily for today's generation, he had a son, Jason. And luckily for Jason, he inherited his father amazing ability to play the drums. So now he uses his ability for good, not evil, and plays shows all around the USofA, giving our generation the chance that we never thought we'd have. Now, back to the concert. The band opened the show with the obvious choice, Rock and Roll. This is one of my favorite Zeppelin songs. They followed with hits such as Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Over the Fields and Far Away, Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir, and my all-time favorite, When the Levee Breaks. This show was awesome. I can't say it enough. It didn't hurt that the guitarist, Tony Catania, looked like Jimmy Page. This show got [however cheesy it may sound] an 11 out of 10. The concert was a total sensory overload. By the end of the concert, I was dizzy from the noise alone. The visuals were phenomenal, as was the audio. My only regret was that it ended so soon. Although I'm happy that I got today off of school to recuperate from the awesomeness and get back into the routine of dullness.
Until next time,
Ferg
