If you’re a Led Zeppelin fan, this show is an absolute must. I’ve been a fan since I was a kid. The first Led Zeppelin album I owned was Zeppelin 4. The first time I heard Black Dog, it was mind blowing to me as a kid. Before that the heaviest song I had ever heard was probably Helter Skelter by The Beatles or possibly you really got me by the kinks.

Unfortunately, I never got to see the band perform live, but I’ve always really enjoyed their music. All of that though fades over time and this was a nice reminder of how great they really were. This is probably the closest I’ll get to ever seeing Led Zeppelin. Jason Bonham has put together an incredible group of musicians. They worked their way through an amazing Led Zeppelin set that included, over the hills and far away, When the levee breaks, celebration and so many more.

I’ve never looked at Led Zeppelin as a hits band, but they went deep in their set list which was nice to hear some of the great songs that are not as well known. Jason Bonham didn’t do the dirty dozen that’s always on the radio. They incorporated some of those but also went deeper. If you get a chance to see them, it’s worth the price of admission. It’s more than I could have hoped for and I really enjoyed the show.
