Well this should be fun tonight. Going to see "Zepparella", an all female Led Zeppelin tribute band.

Free concert at Todos Santos Park in Concord tonight at 6:30. These ladies can rock!

If you happen to be in the neighborhood, stop by for a cold one. I'll be in the blue lawn chair.

Hey,
That sounds fun, have you ever heard of Dread Zeppelin? Wiki- Dread Zeppelin is an American band best known for performing the songs of Led Zeppelin in a reggae style as sung by a 300 pound Vegas Elvis impersonator.


They actually are pretty funny.

Peace

Remind me...who were Led Zeppelin again? OK, just kidding, but these women were just wonderful.

What really pleased me was the band/film makers/whoever actually credited the song to the people who actually wrote it. Well done.

I wish page had been more forthcoming with crediting as it would have brought a lot more people to appreciate the Blues. Even still, "When The Levee Breaks" is one of my favorite Zepp tunes.
