Led Zeppelin Presence

The definitive live album by Led Zeppelin, I’m sorry to say, is not How The West Was Won (which is nonetheless beautiful), but the BBC Sessions released in '97. The second CD, recorded before the release of their IV album, surpasses even Live at Leeds by The Who. A Plant with a voice like that lasted until ‘72; from then on (Song Remains the Same included), we saw our man’s fantastic voice start to fade. And then there’s the first live version of Stairway to Heaven, which is poetry; I feel it more than I do that on the album.

I don't dislike the second one either, even though I’m not really into the piano parts. Let's say the first two are acceptable, from the third one onwards it’s crap. Predictable, formal, and not powerful at all. It’s a shame because Randy Holden from Other Half, another great band of the time, had joined their ranks. here come the sampels

I also think it's not a bad album, even though I don't know much about electronics. It will definitely have a limited lifespan in my player, but let's say it will be intense... like heavy rotation for 10 days. It's true that it's a product riding the wave and pushed by magazines, but I think the guy isn’t an idiot and it could have been a mediocre album, which in my opinion it isn't. Anyway, the download is a must. My favorite remains "tribulations."

Here are the samples. I thank my friend Scott who introduced me to these four losers. As soon as I saw the CD in Tokyo, I told myself I would never buy a CD with such a cover. The next day, while browsing CDs with Scott (a big Yankee who used to be a music producer), he points out the CD in question and tells me it’s a gem. As usual, the truth is somewhere in the middle. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a good, varied album that’s excellently played. Anyway, Hum the CD is released by Collectables or Fuel Records with the bonus tracks. Bye!

dude, remember that Page actually played with the Yardbirds for a while, so he definitely did his part.

caz caz caz.....I understand that Black Dog might seem hard to digest right now, but did you hate it as soon as you heard it (or the thousands of songs with similar riffs)? Answer honestly. We're talking about archetypes of hard rock, and even if they didn’t do it before others, even if the arpeggio of Stairway is from Taurus by Spirit, they had the luck and skill to be in the right place at the right time, thus gaining visibility and generating a slew of imitators that made you come to hate paradigm songs of a certain way of playing like those you mention. And come on, Page's style may sound clichéd now, but we're talking about a guy who didn't invent anything (he wasn't Hendrix, because no one is/was/will be like Hendrix) but left a personal mark in playing heavy...remember that. It's easy to criticize the sacred monsters now that everyone knows the songs, but I think we should take it easy.

The guy was ugly and a loser even in Reggio Emilia 10(?) years ago with Kyuss, Mother Nature wasn't kind. Anyway, when I saw them at Vox, they really pissed me off for a few reasons: the crowd didn't let me fully enjoy the concert, they played way too much like the record, and way too little (1h10min including the encore… come on). And above all, no concessions to the psychedelic detours you're talking about. But they are good, no doubt about it; if only there were more like them. Anyway, I found Oliveroi a bit annoying, having had the pleasure to say that Scott Reeder was the best, even just as a stage presence. Cheers and envy.
Soft Machine Third
Voto:
Here many know Soft Machine, but instead of writing a pseudo review like yours, they actually listen to their records. They deserve a thorough and at least heartfelt review, which you don't provide. Anyway, in my opinion, the first two are superior to this one, a bit too long-winded for my taste.

fuck, I would go... what should I do? Two days later I have to go to Mars Volta. Anyway, I'm scared of the post-intellectual fauna that will be present in that shithole called the link. But the music would be worth it alone. I agree with Antimo about not labeling Slint as post-rock but just rock, it's a bit like saying Kyuss make stoner, a label that didn’t exist back then as well as post-rock.
Kyuss ...And The Circus Leaves Town
Voto:
there was already... anyway the minor album by Kyuss. Still, being Kyuss is always awesome; it's a pity that my favorite, Rodeo, has the arpeggio from Black by Pearl Jam. Good job, chica.
