I seen you guy's play a couple of times, and every time I injoyed every minute of the performance. The atmosphere Mr. Swan creates brings Led Zeppelin alive. I took a couple of my friends with me to the performance on December 26, 2003, and they said it was the koolest concert that they have seen. From a couple of teenagers who love Led Zeppelin say," Keep Rockin' and keep the real music alive!"

Oh m'goodness, that was another incredible set at BB Kings. And what a night, too...good food, an "interesting" (ah, yeah) opening band, and I got to hear the RAIN SONG!! Another nice surprise was Moby Dick and Jim's fabulous drum solo. I'd like to hear that one more often. I had a friend visiting from the east coast, who previously told me he was not at all fond of tribute bands. I had all the confidence in the world that you would blow his expectations right out of the water. You did that and more. He was on the phone with some friends after the show and he wouldn't shut up about how insanely accurate you guys were. I'd love to see you guys play that place again - it was a bit cramped, but the atmosphere was cool and the sound was good.

I just wanted to write and thank you for an incredible show at BB Kings last weekend. I am a new Zepagain fan, and have caught your concerts a few times. You are absolutely fantastic. It's probably late to put in a request for New Year's Eve, so I'll just put out there for a future show... Tangerine would be absolutely awesome to hear live. :) I am so impressed with the passion you exhibit on stage, and the amazing accuaracy of your craft. Also, thanks (Steve, I believe?) for stopping to chat with us after the show. The fact that you would take time out of your busy evening to say hi to "the fans" is so generous. It takes incredible heart, skill and musicianship to eminate the spirit of such a legendary band, and I continue to be overwhelmed with the music you produce.
Thanks again for all you do.

Another kick ass show from from you guy's! I think of it as a christmas gift to all the zeppelin fans who came out. I bought two new recruit's to the show, my cousin lisa and her special friend frank. I can honestly say that you guy's truly rocked thier asses off. They such a good time at the show and I know they will be at alot of the upcoming shows. "We're Gonna Grove" great opening song, it really got the crowd excited "the cosmic energy". "Misty Mountain Hop" what a rocker! you guy's play it so good (I was listening to that song on the way to b.b.kings....wow!) "No Quarter" that song made my evening. That's my favorite song on the "T.S.R.T.S." soundtrack. It was played magnificently. Jim-jones was kickin' on those keys. Steve-zoso, great wah-wah on that song. I really liked the way you "squeezed" "The Crunge" during Whole Lotta Love. The obscure songs are the bomb, please play more of them. Steve, this is a request that my brother and I have for you, we think that it would be so cool if you were to play "The Rain Song" electric style. you know, go from "The Song Remains The Same" right into "The Rain Song" just like madison square '73! Talk it over with the blokes and see what you guy's can do. I meet some real nice hard core fans up at the front of stage, tony & alicia, I hope to see you at more shows. See you guy's tomorrow at the "bash"

It was nice to see you guys up front. Swan was driving all the girls crazy with his rump shaking. After Moby Dick (Kersey did a portion of his drum solo with his bare hands) Kersey gave his sticks to this young kid. That was so cool Jim. That boy was stoked. Enjoyed the likes of Jim's bass & Steve's electric. Simply marvelous. Looking forward to bringing in the New Year with you guys.

Hey guys, that was, if not, the best show I have seen until now! Nevermind some little mistakes, it was awesome. I took a crowd of 13. some of them had seen your show before and some hadn't. They all agreed that it was awesome. Thank you so much for playing NO QUARTER for Alondra, she really appreciated it, I got some thanks to you guys (just kidding). But anyway I will catch your next show on January. I was hopping to make it to the new year's party but Christmas left me and my wife BROKE. Hey you guys should do a raffle among your fans for some free entrances. Back to the other night I think Swan's performance was amongst the best ever! he really hit some notes and he really stock to the original tunes. It was awesome. Thanks G=guys.

I've seen you guys perform several times now and it seems like every concert I go to gets better & better! I loved that you played "The Rain Song" - though not as rockin' as other Zep tunes it's still one of my favorites - and it's such a beautiful song. I also loved the "Whole Lotta Love" medly; you guys blow me away with your ability to play Zep's more obscure songs - I heard "The Crunge" in there - that was pretty kick ass! Plus it seems like you guys are having so much fun on stage, and that makes you a joy to watch. Thanks for an awesome night & I'm looking forward to seeing you again on New Year's Eve.
By the way - Steve, it was so nice meeting you after the show. Your adeptness as a guitarist is inspiring, and the best part of it is you make it look so effortless.
Thanks again!

(Likewise, Amanda! Thanks for the kind words, and for all the treks out from Ventura to come see us! Drive safe on Wed, and we'll see you there! - Steve)

Well it took me and my friends' a half hour and a whole lot of our best negotiating, but the manager was finally gracious enough to allow us under-21ers into the damn place. Luckily for us, because (of course) Zepagain rocked. We unfortunately had to leave early, but we did get to hear them open with We're Gonna Groove (I think that's what it's called), then play The Immigrant Song (always a live classic), Ramble On, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (I think)--I've never seen anybody's fingers move faster than Steve's on the intro to that!--Over the Hills and Far Away (amazing rendition), and Kashmir. I'm beyond stoked about January 5, when Zepagain will be playing with Dream Police! Oh, and I finally got a Zepagain T-shirt thanks to my buddy Alfred for Xmas.

Glad I have time to say a little piece about this show because it was the best one I have seen you guys play yet! Battle of Evermore was unbelievable, my friends were going nuts! Also Immigrant Song was a highlight of the night for me(Would love to see you guys open a show with it). Steve thanks for the tickets, the friends I brought with me were once again amazed. Im almost into double-digits in zepagain converts and deservedly so, you guys are the best. Looking forward to the next show, thanks guys!

A real wall of water between the audience and performers, wow! (During, how appropriate RAIN SONG) Blew me and everybody in attendence AWAY!!! ONLY IN VEGAS, our next stop! GREAT performance guys!

It was a great set at the Normandie Casino last Saturday night. This was the first time Led Zepagain played in this fantastic little ballroom and even though it took 4 or 5 songs to get the mix right it was a great set and well worth the trip to Gardena. Thanks to Steve and the guys for dusting off CELEBRATION DAY and THE ROVER. THE RAIN SONG was highlighted by a curtain of water coming down from the ceiling and it was a great effect and the band nailed the song, just like they do every time. THE RAIN SONG is what makes Led Zeppelin one of the greatest bands to ever take a stage and in my opinion THE GREATEST BAND ever.
Ramble On, Mark
ps to my friend Lauren. I'm sure when Robert Plant and John Paul Jones were writing THE RAIN SONG over 30 years ago they probably thought eventually there would be at least one person who loved it. Congratulations Lauren, that person is you!

Had never been to the Normandie Casino before. The showroom in which you guys played in was stunning! I loved the stage backdrop (black w/starlights). It made for an awesome stage presence. Then of course, we had the unbelievable sounds of LedZepagain. You blew the place away. Thanks again for a great show. Can't wait to do it again & again.

I don't care what Mark says. The Rain Song needs to be played at every show. Haha. I got to hear that one for the first time from you guys last night, and it literally gave me goosebumps. Steve, your guitar playing versatility is amazing; I don't think there's anything you can't master perfectly. Oh yeah, and I also LOVED In the Light (first time hearing that one from you as well.) And Swan, way to work that crowd!! Keep it sexy. I had been looking forward to seeing a show for 4 months while I was out of town, and you once again blew me away well beyond expectations. Thanks for keeping it fresh. See you on Friday at BB Kings.

Cassandra, Joanne and I would like to thank you for the good times and all the great music. Led Zepagain and more importantly the members of the band have meant a lot to us and have given us much happiness. You guys are fantastic people as well as amazing musicians. You have allowed us to meet and make new friends with a common interest, the music of Led Zeppelin. We would like to extent best wishes for a happy holiday season and for the New Year to your families, friends and fans.

Love and Peace always, October fans of the month, Cassandra, Joanne and David

It's 11 am and I just woke up, thanks to another kickass late night with Led Zepagain. You guys once again put on a killer show, perfectly performing the usual greats like Heartbreaker and Whole Lotta Love, and then some really cool songs that I've never seen you play before, like Black Country Girl, In the Light, Sick Again, and D'yer Maker. Oh yeah, and that one song, what was it called? Oh yeah, STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN. This was my fourth time seeing you guys the last couple months and the first time I got to hear that epic rock classic. Thanks for putting on a great show!

Last night's show has only one word to describe it, LEDZEPAMAZING! Opening with IN THE LIGHT not only worked but was off the chart followed by 6 hard rockers from 5 different albums. We had a few new recruits down on the floor last night, Led Zepagain fans who have become Led Zeppelin fans! They asked me if that 'new song' you threw in during WHOLE LOTTA LOVE was a Zepagain original. After thinking about it for a second I said, "Fuck yeah, pretty good! huh." I keep telling Steve, "CODA doesn't count!"
Ramble on!

The Zepagain converts just increased last night for sure. Rockin' show and a great crowd that was very into it. Opening with "In the Light" was a perfect choice and you never looked back...an inspiring accoustic set...and "Good Times Bad Times" got everyone riled up. "Thank You" was epic. Too many to recall...but all were appreciated. I've made it out to five shows since first seeing you in August in Phoenix and this was tops as far as sound, lighting, and crowd energy. Plus it was cool to see you guys up there having fun and laughing.
It was a magical night in the Magic Kingdom...

Amazing show guys
. Trampled Underfoot was a step above perfection, with the funky keyboard stylings compliments of Jim Wooten. You are the master of all things music Jim. Thanks for the drum sticks Jim Kersey, thanks for the guitar picks Steve, thanks for the hand shake Swan, thanks for the eye contact and lip reading Jim Wooten. You guys are doing something great for music, nailing every bit of vocals, every drum beat, every guitar riff, and every funky bass line of the master arranger John Paul Jones. Thanks again for the performance of Trampled Underfoot, and I will see you next time at the House of Blues, hopefully to hear some more great Zep music, maybe even Wearing and Tearing. Oh, and the encore was incredible, NO NO NO NO NO NO bodys fault but mine. We're Gonna Groove was awesome too.
Thanks for the dedication,

WHAT AN OUTSTANDING SHOW! THE LIGHTING & SOUND WERE GREAT. NICE SET THE
BAND SELECTED. STEVE-ZOSO WAS REALLY BURNING ASS WITH HIS FRETWORK. HIS
PLAYING AMAZES ME. HEY STEVE, NICE TEASE WITH THAT LITTLE BITE FROM
"ACHILLES LAST STAND".
JIM-JONES, BEAUTIFUL KEYS ON "IN THE LIGHT" OH BY THE WAY, THE BAND PLAYED
THAT SONG GREAT FOR IT BEING A FIRST TIMER. SWANNY WAS SOARING AS USUAL.
JIM-BONZO'S
DRUMMING WAS EXTREMELY TIGHT & POWERFUL. EXCELLENT SHOW GENTLEMEN ! IF I
CAN GO BACK A BIT , THE SHOW AT PALADINO'S WAS THE BEST SHOW I EVER HEARD
FROM THE BAND.
THE "OBSCURE SET" WAS SUCH A THRILL. DON'T GET ME WRONG, THE "STANDARDS"
ARE KICK ASS BUT THE OFF THE WALL STUFF BLOWS ME AWAY. YOU HAVE TO DO MORE
SHOWS LIKE THAT. CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE THE LOOK ON THE CROWDS FACES IF YOU
PLAYED SONGS LIKE;
NO QUARTER, IN MY TIME OF DYING, DOWN BY THE SEASIDE, NIGHT FLIGHT, FOR YOUR
LIFE(COME ON STEVE, BRING OUT THAT STRAT), ROYAL ORLEANS, CANDY STORE ROCK,
HOTS ON FOR NOWHERE, TEA FOR ONE, IN THE EVENING (NEED A STRAT), SOUTH BOUND
SAUREZ, HOT DOG, CAROUSELABRA, I'M GONNA CRAWL ETC.????? THOSE SONGS WOULD
PUT THE F*** TO ALL THE LED ZEPP FREAKS OUT THERE ! AND IT'S SO COOL TO
BUMP INTO FORMER "FANS OF THE MONTH". STEPHANIE, MARK & SUZIE, CELESTE ARE
VERY DOWN TO EARTH TO TALK TO. I HOPE I CAN BE FAN OF THE MONTH ONE DAY. I
WILL DEFINITELY BE AT THE CASINO & THE B.B. KINGS SHOW THIS MONTH. THE
H.O.B. SHOW IS IFFY BECAUSE OF WORK(HAVE TO WAKE UP EARLY TO DRIVE MY SCHOOL

Fresh off their outstanding performance at the Cajun House here in Phoenix during the Thanksgiving holidays, there can really be no ceiling for this hot, hot, hot, act!!! Having seen Swan, Steve, and the Jims', a few times now I truly believe that each succeeding show has surpassed the previous. In spite of not headlining this past Wednesday at "The House" These boys were hot and got it going on and on and on!!! Having been a fan of TNT for a long time now I am proud to call myself a fan of Led Zepagain as well. Steve's guitar work was extraordinary, Swans' vocals were scathing, Jims' licks (on all his instruments were haunting, and what can you say about Jims' drumming except as a former rock n' roll drummer myself it was nothing short of incredible. "I have seen Led Zeppelin eleven times in total from 1969 through 1977 and I never enjoyed the performances as much as I have yours, truthfully you guys play the songs the way Led Zep was supposed to! Thanks Again for the chills!!! karpurkia in Phoenix..............

I've caught all your AZ shows in the past couple of years, including the legendary 2 hour show at the Cajun House on 8/30/03. I don't know what got into Steve Z Wednesday night, but his fingers where lightning fast, and he was even more animated and vivid than Swan who was forced into a hard to get out of trans during Dazed and Confused. Z-man was flat out rocking everyone in the vicinity, leading the front row into borderline paralysis. Jim Wooten razzled and dazzled as always in the background, putting the icing on the cake with the electric mandolin. Complemented with Swan's imPlant mannerisms, the Cajun house found God for the night. Oh, it's been a long time since I rock and rolled.

It's always impressive to see you folks get people jumping up and down, ready to cut their veins after just 1 or 2 songs. It's almost depressing that only the hard-core Led fans can appreciate the unmatched precision with which you bring into life ALL Zeppelin tunes, but then again you consistently manage to convert the casual crowd into ZepAgain fans. I'm a little worried about Jim K. I'd hate to see him get arrested on grounds of involuntary manslaughter for giving someone a heart attack during Rock & Roll. The man is wild, and has the quickness, mustache and stamina to prove it! Wait till you catch one of his authentic Bonzo solos.

I'd be great if/when Led ZepAgain tours in Europe. With the arsenal presented on Wednesday, them Brittons won't know what hit'em. There is no doubt that you are distined to spur a 70's revolution. You capture the essence, electricity, magic, and sheer power of Led Zeppelin in the most enviable and admirable way: reincarnating the authentic music the way it was intented to be played.

Now that I think of it, Z-note overdose is not a bad way to go. People cannot possibly comprehend the passion with which this group dedicated themselves to the music of the best band that ever lived. Led ZepAgain ROCKS and it's here to stay!

It's always a treat when you are joined on stage by Roni Shay for THE BATTLE OF EVERMORE. It's uncanny how she sounds like Sandy Denny! Special thanks to Roni's husband, Andy, who played bass on D'YER MAKER. Way to go! Isn't Jimagain's drumming hypnotic? Steve's guitar was definitely alive.

When I was a kid in 1977, I had a ticket to Led Zeppelin's concert at the L.A. Forum but someone got a hold of it and I couldn't go. I am a die-hard Zep fan and after I saw you guys at the Arrowfest, I realized that I could see Led Zeppelin all of the time now. I was at your show again at the Paladino club last night and you guys were incredible!
I do not say this lightly. I am a singer/ guitar palyer and all four of you are absolute Top-of-the-Line musicians. I appreciate your skill, dedication and the GIFT!! that you are giving to all of us. I had a blast last night and I plan on attending your upcoming gigs with my people ( when I am not at work ).

I saw your band for the first time and even though I thought I was not a fan of Led Zeppelin, I recognized most of the songs all night long. One after another I kept saying to the friend that dragged me along, I know this song and I know this one too. The singer's butt is hot but he has to learn the words to Dyer Maker. The guitar player was the best I've heard. The tall bass player played every instrument on the stage except drums....and the drummer was great. He needs a hair cut and his roadie is cute too. I will be back for more shows. ps to c, can we groove?

It was another magical night with the mighty Led Zepagain at Paladino's. Unfortunately, the crowd was rather sparse, but that just meant more for the rest of us! Steve looks great in his new duds (sorry I forgot to mention it last time!) and out they strolled and started off with a killer version of The Wanton Song (isn't that a kind of Oriental food?). Next up a killer Sick Again... for the L.A. Queens! Then Over The Hills And Far Away...but it wasn't too far for a screaming Houses Of The Holy from Physical Graffiti. After many shouts of song titles, the band launched into Dazed And Confused, again complete with an excellent bow solo by Steve Z (it worked this time!). Then they brought out an old classic, my fave Ten Years Gone. Jim W played a great acoustic vibe on it. Sweet guys, very sweet! Next up we had the pleasure of the ever-beautiful Roni Shay of Luminous Dream joining Swan for a great version of The Battle Of Evermore, which sounded oh so sweet! Steve continued on the acoustic stringed instruments and the guys busted out a cool Black Country Woman. Next Swan brought up some special guests, and presented Frank and Steph their Fan of the Month certificate (yeah way to go FnSteph! Wooooo - hoooo!) to a thunderous applause. Next up, Steve got out the red double neck Gibson for a heavy dose of The Song Remains The Same. Man did that smoke! That went right into a rocking Immigrant Song, one of my early faves. Next up Jim K grabbed another pair of drum sticks for the rarely played Four Sticks with Andy Shay of Luminous Dream joining the band on bass, unbeknownst to Swan! You're always the last to know, eh? The band got the crowd into a Carribean mood with D'yer Mak'er, and it was so smooth. Then it was time to finish up the set, and out they came with a Whole Lotta Love for the crowd, and Steve launched into a theramin solo battle with Swan on vocals. included were We're Gonna Groove and I think it also included I Can't Quit You or something else (help me Steve!!!). After a thunderous crowd wooed them back, they played a great version of the rocking Rock And Roll...and then it was over! If yer still on the fence about your New Years Plans, go see this band! They are gonna rock yer ass off and do it in fine style! Swan, it was great talking to you. We have to do it more. Guys, you rock! See you in December!!! Peace ...


(Yep, you got it right, Ray! Although, for the record, Andy joined us on D'yer Mak'er, not Four Sticks! - Zepagain)

Another great show, it was really cool to hear some of the more obscure songs in the Zeppelin catalogue, such as Livin' Lovin' Maid, Ramble On, and What is and What Should Never Be. The highlight of the night: right after Thank You, when it got all quiet, I shouted out "HEART FUCKIN' BREAKER!!" and Swan laughs and says "Heartfuckin'breaker, huh?" and then Steve rips out the opening riff, it was classic.

I've been raving about you guys to my friend back in London and she wants you to go play out there, would you ever consider???

Hi Swan, Steve, Jim and Jimagain! WHOLE LOTTA LOVE!...What a way to open a show! That set the tone for a truly classic performance, just as LED ZEPPELIN did thirty four years ago with the release of their second album. (Does anybody remember albums?) Jim's bass was on fire on THE LEMON SONG. Jimagain's drum solo was FANtaSTICK! Swan's harmonica on BRING IT ON HOME was great. We must say, YOU SHOOK ME, on that one! Last, but not least, it was especially nice to see Steve, with his own microphone, singing back-up on LIVIN' LOVIN' MAID. By the way, Happy Birthday! THANK YOU for LEDDING us be Friends of the Month! We are honored. Your Fans, Frank and Stephanie

I am 16 and my fav band is Led-Zeppelin. Wow i thought i missed out on ever seeing Zeppelin live, but Zepagain did it. The most awesome cover band ever. That singer sounds exactly like Plant. If i were blind, i would think that i was seeing Zeppelin live. This band is amazing. Led-Zepagain!!!!!!!!! I am going to every show possible around my area. If i can pul off 80 bucks i will be at the new years event with my singer.

Well folks...he's back!!! Your faithful reviewer Ray From Texas and this one is a good one! I had last seen the boys on July 27 at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica for a night of eclectic (not electric) Led Zeppelin before I took a leave of absence and crossed the USA for two months. Well, I was ready for some live Zepp tunes and boy did I get my wish! If you weren't there at the Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood on Saturday November 1, you missed a show! This hallowed venue was once again resounding with the sounds of one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever - LED ZEPPELIN! Thanks to the talents of Mssrs. Swan, Jim K., Jim W., and the guitar virtuoso Steve, we were treated to a fine spectacle of musicianship (how's that for ass-kissing guys?). After the opening bands AKA, The Spank, Third Wish, Black Molly, Come And Go, and Silent Testament, who were all very good musicians (but to me they all started sounding the same), out strolled the four men and proceeded to rock our asses off. Beginning with Whole Lotta Love, complete with a great theramin solo by Steve, we learned it was going to be another complete album show (remember the Houses Of The Holy and How The West Was Won shows?), and this time it would be the second Zeppelin LP, in support of the 34th anniversary of it's release (has it really been THAT long?). Up next was What Is And What Should Never Be, then a great version of The Lemon Song, in which Swan tempted the ladies to squeeze his lemons, till the juice ran down his legs! Up next came a lovely Thank You, a song Robert wrote for his wife Maureen. Then, in keeping with the times, we had to envision "turning the record over" (you see kids, there used to be a time when us old folks had to listen to music on these things called long play (LP) records, made out of vinyl, and music was on both sides, not just one shiny side, and we played it on a turntable, or record player) and hit up a rousing Heartbreaker moving right into Living Loving Maid just like the record. Next up was Ramble On, and Swan got the crowd (even me!) to put their hands together. Then we got a treat. A tribute to the greatest drummer in history, John Henry Bonham, Jim K performed a wonderful drum solo on Moby Dick, complete with bare hands. Then Swan gave us a bluesy mouth harp and started off Bring It On Home, and they did! Unfortunately, Swan had to announce to the crowd that they only had 10 minutes left to play (boos erupted, not at the band but the venue) and also announced that this month's Fan Of The Month was none other than Frank & Stephanie (congrats)! So they launched into a nice Going To California. Then came the drawing for the nice poster announcing the original Led Zeppelin dates back in 1969 at the Whisky with Alice Cooper opening the shows, courtesy of Planet Zeppelin (go visit their site). So Steve reached into the bag of names, and when he looked at me and said "I don't believe it" I was totally psyched! "Ray From Texas wins this poster" he announced and I was ecstatic! Thanks to Planet Zeppelin and the boys for the cool poster. They finished the set with a rocking Rock And Roll with the audience joining in at the apropriate times. The band left the stage to thunderous applause and were then allowed to come back for one more song, and cranked out a slick The Song Remains The Same, with Steve Z on the red Gibson double neck guitar. It was a great show in a very historic venue. After the show, the boys were gracious to all the fans who stuck around to chat. They even signed my poster of the July 27th gig, somewhat of a going away show for me. But now I am back boys and all you who missed this one, get to Paladinos next so they can rock yer asses off! Thanks guys and lets do it again! ROCK AND ROOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!! Peace -

Outstanding set at Cafe Kashmir last Friday night. I was at the first one when Led Zepagain was crammed into a cramped little corner and it has evolved into giving you guys the whole front of the house and the seating is in rows to accomodate the capacity audience. For those of you who have not seen one of these shows, this is the closest you will ever get to having Led Zeppelin perform live in your living room. The atmosphere is intimate and the sets are very different from the mainstream House of Blues type shows. Opening with OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY is a great start to the evening but foot stompers like MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP, GALLOWS POLE, and RAMBLE ON are woven into the set creating a a synergy that can't be found at the other Zepagain shows. Hands down the highlight of the night was the premier performance of BLACK COUNTRY WOMAN! Nailed it. This night even saw the impromptu performance of MOBY DICK (a drum solo and an aoustic set, go figure) and the THE LEMON SONG (an Eli favorite). The Mutant was on fire during THE LEMON SONG and Bonzo Kersey did his solo to a standing audience. Watching Kersey sit back there and play with an assortment of drumsticks is worth the trip alone. I one time I could swear I saw him playing with backscratchers and chopsticks. Steve was on acoustic guitar and most of the night and I've said it before but I have to say it again, I can listen to that guy play all night long. Swan is Swan, the prototypical front man, who engages the audience and even after a 2 hour and 45 minute set, nobody was ready to go home. That is the ultimate compliment. I think "our" next project should be OUT ON THE TILES. See you at the Whiskey.

NO FOOLIN', THE RAIN SONG wasagain a big hit! Maybe it's just DEJA VU, but doesn't Jim Wooten kind of remind you of Graham Nash? In any case, the evening got off to a great start with a strong set by the CSNY tribute band, 4-WAY STREET. You know, the band is just fantastic, we really do believe.

Thanks again for another wonderful show. When you played "Stairway" it brought tears to my eyes. For many reasons Zeppelin is very close to my heart and brings up a lot of emotion in me; especially Stairway. I couldn't be more thankful for such an incredible group of musicians as you. You have brought Zeppelin into my life in the most tangible way I could ever experience. Thank you for all the things you are doing. You honor the music and the musicians who created it and it shows every night. I love you guys. Rock on!

The line-up of 4 Way Street and Led Zepagain Tuesday at the HoB was fantastic. 4 Way Street has all the sprit and harmony of CSN&Y. It gave Led Zepagain fan(antic)s the opportunity to see Jim Wooten s "twin brother" as Graham Nash and more of his musical abilities.
Jim Kersey, the rock steady timekeeper is always on the money with all of Bonham s fills and thrills. We don t get Moby Dick at every show but when it happens it is the high light of the show. Tuesday night s version was one of the hottest solos of any kind. Jim and Jim make up the finest rhythm section in the west.

When she hears Led Zeppelin songs on the radio, she thinks it's LedZepagain. Kersey what an awesome job you did on Moby Dick, Dick, Dick. Love watching Wooten rockin & rollin there in the background on his bass. Next time come up closer so we can get a better look at you! Took my 17 year niece to see you for the first time. She's hooked. Swan, thanks for the shout out to my 18 yr. old niece Jennifer who was visiting here from Oregon for the first time. It's a moment she will cherish forever.

lost count now how many shows I've been too but stood next to a young guy maybe 19 or 20 who just happened to be at Disneyland on tuesday night and he saw that you were playing. He reluctanly came thinking he would see a band that just "played" zep tunes. He almost left during 4 way street because he thought that was the band that was supposed to be playing zep. He almost had an orgasm during Song ramains the same and every song thereafter. This "kid", I'm 43, knew all the words to every song you played (his dad and uncles always had zep playing when he was little). I grew up on zep and don't know all the words. To see his amazement and disbelief during each song was something you would have enjoyed watching. Just thought you might like that story as most people that go have an little idea of what they're going to.
Also, Had 8 other friends, family and coworkers with me who saw you for the first time also, with all vowing to see you guys again.

As a fairly new & growing Zeppelin fan it's such a treat to be able to hear their music live, and performed by four such talented musicans, who are so acurate, and who pay such tribute to the one & only Led Zepp. Thank you!

Back in Phx now but wish I could see the Anaheim show tonight.
Hope to see you back at the Cajun house before the year ends. Is that a possibility? Or Tucson? The overall mix and the sound at the Cajun was perfect, far superior than the Platinum club...the sound guy at Platinum seemed pretty clueless, but the show was still great and the set was incredible.

We particulary enjoyed this show thanks to the well mannered crowd and the 5.1 surround sound at PLATINUM CIVILIVE. For some reason we had a craving for citrus fruit. Maybe it was the TANGERINE and LEMON SONGS! THANK YOU for another great show!

(Thanks for another creative review, guys! We might have to start a contest...;-) - Zepagain)

I went to the show on saturday and the "rain song" made my whole week! I was disapointed though, for you guys only played for such a short time, teasers! I brought at least 7 people with me and although I spent almost $200 on entrace and drinks, it was all worth it. Next show I better get more than an hour and a half of my Led dosage. By the way, thanks for the discount flyer, that got me at least a couple of beers, HA HA HA. well, thanks again and I'll hopefully see you on tuesday.

Now I have seen you perform 3 times and each time is better than the one before. Your band is as close to the real "Led Zeppelin" as I have ever seen. You can close your eyes and you all sound fabulous. I have bringing people and getting the word out about your band. Come back to Scottsdale/Phoenix as soon as your schedule permits. I am always the one in the dark, long hair dancing by the stage. Who can sit down at one of your concerts????? Candy

My friends and I were in attendance Friday night at the Cajun house. Unbelievable. As you played your 3rd song "No Quarter", it began to sink in how much detail and heart and soul you have invested in your show.

Although those who came to the Cajun house were VERY into the gig and moved by your performance, you deserved a crowd 100x that size. If you come back to Phoenix, I will do everything I can to spread the word.

As a guitarist, I have played Page for the past 15 years and truly appreciated the live Zep sound you captured...not just studio covers, but the real show that zep put on that I was too young to witness.

Thus, I am driving out from Phoenix to LA on Friday night to see some friends for the weekend and I have let many of them know about you guys and will bring a group of them to your show on Sat.

Fan for life,
Marshall Mead

First time seeing you inside a club. The people and the whole setting are so much better when it's not an outdoor concert. I was right in front so I got the full affect. Hopefully one day I can go to Cali and see you guys in a club there. Would love to visit the House of Blues. Just watching Swan and "Jimmy Page" together keeps me coming back for more. That experience alone is mainly why I look forward to your Arizona shows. Too hot! Thanks for the guitar pick, Jimmy. ;)

I have no idea how you were able to maintain those throat ripping Plant vocals through the whole performance, much a less over the past twelve years. Your lead guitarist didn't miss a lick through the entire show. In an era where classic rock deserves the kind of respect given to the Classics, it is comforting to have the music of Led Zeppelin in such capable hands. Please do us the favor of returning to San Diego in the future.

Hey guys, amazing show at the HOB Anaheim, "Kashmir" I had heard at an earlier show and was great both times; dead-on version of "Trampled Underfoot" (I had never heard you guys do that one); and "Fool in the Rain" was an unexpected surprise, a great song to hear live; plus opening with "Song Remains the Same" was terrific. Only thing missing from the Knebworth tribute was "In the Evening", but there was nothing that night that disappointed me, nothing about your shows ever disappoint me, except when the curtain goes down (that is quite disappointing knowing I have to wait for the next show).
PS - Glad the bow worked this time for "Dazed and Confused", was that Steve or Page up there, I couldn't tell a difference.

Great medley, too; thanks for throwing Achilles in there! I am so sad to be leaving until December..hopefully you can schedule a great gig somewhere around the new year. It has been great meeting Mark, Celeste, Ryan and other friends at the shows throughout this summer. Thanks for so many amazing, unique performances.

Now that I've seen you guys like 10-12 times I figured it was time that I finally wrote a review. I'll never forget the day about a year and a half ago when me and my friend Chris stumbled into this little bar called 14 Below that we had always wanted to go to since we were in high school to have a couple of beers. Luckily for us, we were unexpectedly treated to your kick ass tribute to the greatest band of all time, Led Zeppelin. Since then, me and my friends have seen you all over the place. It was so cool to have you guys play at my alma mater, UCLA, and spread the spirit of Zeppelin to us young punks. I've met a lot of cool people at your shows - Lauren, Celeste, Mark and his family, and lil' Ryan Jr. You guys keep getting better and better every time I see you. Your set at Celeste's party was the best you've ever sounded, especially Song Remains the Same and Whole Lotta Love. You guys rocked in Anaheim too, but where was Immigrant Song?!? See ya at more shows...Keep on rockin' and rollin'.

I am all out of superlatives to describe your sets. Long ago I came to the realization that Led Zepagain is the quintessential tribute band. BETTER THAN ANY OTHER! By the turn out last Tuesday night a whole shit load of people are starting to dig it too. The opening group, Desperado, is a good rendition of Eagles tunes but I couldn't wait for them to rap it up so you guys could crank it up (zep)again. Huge opening with SONG REMAINS THE SAME, CELEBRATION DAY, and BLACK DOG. Killer idea to put HOUSES and ACHILLES in the WHOLE LOTTA LOVE medley. We've always loved BARNYARD(sic) STOMP, don't you think BLACK COUNTRY WOMAN would segue real nice with it during the 'acoustified' set? To Jamie: Get their early. We've heard FOOL IN THE RAIN five times now and it's a kick ass version. Where have you been dog? With the Moorpark show cancelled we may have to road trip on the 23rd! (ps Shirts looked great on you guys, enjoy)

It just doesn't get better than last Friday night at Celeste's party. With every show Led Zepagain continues to raise the bar on their performance. Just when you think they are as good as they can get, they get better. Swan has never sounded better. Steve, Jim, and Jim were in a groove and the second set had a dynamic that could never be duplicated. Not only four of the best musicians to ever take a stage, but four great guys who are still good people. I'm proud to say I know you guys. Can't wait for HoB Tuesday so we can hear BLACK COUNTRY WOMAN. (ps Does anybody have a birthday coming up)?

Just want to thank you guys for a kick ass show Friday night. I had over 100 guests come & celebrate my 40 something birthday. Each & everyone of them were blown away by your performance. For those of you who weren't there, you missed a hell of a show. This was definetly an A-Z show. These guys played their hearts out for nearly 3 hours with songs like The Wanton Song, The Ocean, Immigrant Song, Whole Lotta Love, Fool in the Rain (LOVED IT), Dazed & Confused (featuring Steve & "the bow") for just a taste. It was good to see Donna, Ryan, Lauren & Christina (my Zepagain brothers & sisters). The evening got sweeter when Ronnie showed up & the boys played "Battle of Evermore". Wow! Thanks Ronnie. The height of the evening was when Swan called me up on stage & my family & friends sang happy birthday to me, Swan sang "That's the Way" & I was voted Zepagain's August fan of the month. Thanks guys. Swan called my 8 yr. daughter up on stage & sang Tangerine to her. Although she seemed extremely shy, I know she loved it. My party was bumping so hard, there were people coming in from a 50th birthday party next door. These gals from the party next door came up to me & told me "girl, you got the bomb party going on here. We love Led Zeppelin music. These guys are awesome. Where did you find them?" None of this would have ever happened if wasn't for my best friend Mark who took me to see these guys @ the House of Blues in Anaheim about a year ago. The first time I saw them, I was blown away. I've been following them ever since. Much love to you Swan, Steve, Jim K. & Jim W. Your #1 fan.

There are tribute bands and there is "THE TRIBUTE BAND". Most tribute bands play their set and go home. Swan, Steve, Jim and Jim continue to raise the bar with amazing sets night after night. Last nights eclectic set brings Led Zepagain to the forefront as Southern California's best tribute band, head and shoulders above the competition. From the opening notes of THANK YOU to the final chords of STAIRWAY you guys put a unique performance together with a special chemistry that will never be seen again. Six or seven guests slid in and out all night long playing exotic instruments and enhancing the performance of some of the greatest music ever written. That Steve Zukowsky plays the shit out of every guitar he picks up and being acustified doesn't slow him up at all. Acoustical versions of classic rock songs like FOUR STICKS, KASHMIR, and MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP had all the power of the electric versions. The energy coming from Jim Wooten's kicked up key boards and bass and Bonzo Kersey's steady hammer (I don't think he used a regular drum stick once last night) supplied the power all night long. Swan is Swan. He is the prototype front man. Now for the highlight of the night. We've waited over a year for FOOL IN THE RAIN and it was a masterpiece. Better than perfect! There are no words to describe hearing it performed live for the first time anywhere,.... except, I want to hear it again and zepagain.

If you missed Led Zepagain at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica on Sunday July 27th, then you missed THE show of the year! It was a fabulous night of fun and music, all in the name of one of the greatest bands in all of rock and roll, the mighty Led Zeppelin. Starting off the night were Stephen Day and Alex Postelnek, two very accomplished musicians. Stephen played the sarod, a kind of guitar from India (he described it as a cross between and dobro and a banjo/guitar) while Alex played the tablas, kind of like bongos but with a cooler sound. They played a wonderful raga, with some very interesting sounds and solos during the whole tune. A very fitting sound for the Temple Bar and its atmosphere. After a brief intermission and changeover, out came the Led Zepagain boys. Tonight promised to be interesting, and did they deliver! Beginning with Thank You , a song Led Zeppelin usually used last, and it was great. Next came Ramble On , with Andy Shae on congas and Louis on percussion. Next was the awesome Babe I m Gonna Leave You , with some awesome guitar work by Steve Z. And then the band surprised this reviewer by dedicating the next tune to me, and making sure everyone in the audience knew I was starting a new journey in my life, with an excellent rocking version of Gallows Pole (thanks Swan!!!). Next up, the lovely Tangerine , followed by The Battle Of Evermore , which included Andy on congas again, and the lovely Roni Shae on vocals. She sounded great, even gave me shivers just listening to her sing. Next, That s The Way , followed by Going To California , which brought out Stephen Day on the sarod and Alex on the tablas. Then came a rocking version of Four Sticks with the guest musicians. Next came the grandeur of the Middle East with a sweeping version of the mighty Kashmir , which included Stephen and Alex, and also brought back out Louis to play marimba and Andy on congas, and also brought out the lovely Christina the belly dancer down in front! Then the band played a song that Led Zeppelin never got a chance to play live, Fool In The Rain , and what a great version it was! This included all the guest musicians again. Next up came Steve Z on a great guitar solo Bron-Y-Aur . After Swan introduced Steve as the tribute slut , came this fans fave Led Zeppelin song, Ten Years Gone , with it s sweeping melodies reaching out to everyone in attendance. This included Jim Wooten on guitar and guest bassist Scott Richards of the Boston tribute band Smokin . Up next, a lovely song that gets a lot of airplay, All Of My Love . Then came a total surprise for everyone when Swan relinquished the vocals spotlight to the lovely Cole, who also works at the Temple Bar. The band had just met her that night so this was a complete surprise when she got up and sang a downright awesome version of D yer M aker , and did a smashing spot on job too! Look out Swan, she may come and steal your spot! This included Andy now on bass and Louis on congas. Finally, the band came to the end of the show with a rousing version of Misty Mountain Hop , complete with all members getting their own solos , and Swan having fun playing with each member too. After much screaming from the appreciative audience, the band came back out for a lovely version of Stairway To Heaven . With that done, the band bade the audience farewell until next time. So if you missed tonight s show because you have to work in the morning, or because you were just too tired, or whatever excuse you came up with, then you missed out. This was truly a magical night for the band and the audience. To Jim K, Jim W, Steve Z, and Swan, I truly want to thank you for all your love and kindness you have shown me since I got to know you. I fell blessed to have gotten the chance to meet and see you all do what you do best, and have fun at it. I am blessed to know you as friends and will always remember these shows. May God bless each of you and your families and keep rocking! I will remember these times in my heart forever and keep them with me on my journey. Until we meet again, peace!!!

Your show was off the hook Friday night. From the moment you guys stepped onto the stage until your last song, you guys rocked the house. I felt like I was seeing Zeppelin live. Your Zeppelin renditions took me all the way back to the summers in the early 70's when I was a young girl hanging out with my surfer friends going to the beach everyday. I had such a good time Friday night. Thanks for bringing back some of the best memories of my life.

I am 23 years old, and never had the chance to see all 4 members of Led Zeppelin play together on stage. Experiencing Led Zepagain gives me a feeling of how great it must have been. What more can I say, the show was awesome! Thanks for Playing the acoustic version of The Rain Song, it souded great, the melodic side of Zeppelin is often overlooked and unseen by many. Thanks for keeping the spirit of Led Zeppelin alive...

(Thanks for requesting 'Rain Song' Ed, we hadn't played that one for a while! - Zepagain)

Just wanted to drop you guys a line to let you know how much I enjoyed the show last night. My brother-in-law was visiting from Seattle and he really liked you guys as well. Having grown up playing and listening to Zep I really appreciated how true you guys were to the original. No offense, Swan, but I was particulately impressed with the guitarist and the bassist. (By the way Jim, I am very good friends, and have played in various bands with, your cousin Greg Corona). If you have time, I was wondering if you could answer this for me; does it ever get stale playing other folk's music? Does it stifle your own creatively, writing and so forth? Is it healthy to always be about impersonating other people? I imagine the money's good, but how do you stay hungry and driven? Last but not least, do you know of any Hendrix tribute bands that need a bass player? Just kidding! No I'm not. It might be fun. Anyway, I very much look forward to seeing you again.

Well what can I say, you did it again. Except this time you rocked the town of Lakewood like it's never been rocked before with your classic interpretations of Led Zeppelin music. Even though the crowd seemed quiet and shy at the beginning of your show, the mood rapidly changed when you came out with Rock and Roll. I mean there were people dancing all over the place.I especially enjoyed your renditions of Achillis Last Stand & The Rover. I haven't heard those songs in awhile. Would love to hear Dazed & Confused in the near future. By the end of your show, you had us begging for more. Thanks for the encore. Can't wait to do it again.

Led Zepagain woke up the town of Lakewood last Sunday night. Playing on a Sunday night for the first time at this venue you guys had your work cut out for you. This was not your usual incorrigible crowd we often find in Montebello or the House of Blues, but Swan's playful mood and Steve standing on the floor monitors and jamming got the people out of their seats and on to the floor. Led Zepagain had to dig deep into the repertoire and perform rarely played classics such as HEARTBREAKER, MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP, and THE ROVER. In case you didn't notice THE ROVER kicked ass and got you the biggest audience response of the night. By the end of the set you had 16 crazy women (I swear one of them was a pole dancer) dancing on stage with you and that puts the previous record of 7 crazy women dancing on stage to shame. I wish I had a camera, or a few extra dollar bills. Jim and Jim had a flawless night and again the WHOLE LOTTA LOVE medley continues to be a Zepagain trademark. The only constructive criticism I can give you is I had to go home to early. The hour and half set with two encores was not enough!

My ears are still ringing Zeppelin tunes. It was so crowded up front, I had to enjoy you guys from the side of the stage. I had such a great time dancing to 2 hours and 20 minutes of Zeppelin classics. Thanks for a good show. If all goes well, we'll see you at The Hop in Lakewood on Sunday night!

I have seen Zepagain about 5 times, and each time they blow me away with their incredibly broad range of songs they can cover with amazing accuracy and energy. Tribute bands often tend to reproduce the same limited crop of hits over and over with each show; this band is definitely quite the opposite. While they definitely include hits like Kashmir, Whole Lotta Love, and Stairway that everyone knows and loves, their sets also include a mix of more obscure material that true Zep fans appreciate (Four Sticks, Ten Years Gone, Wanton Song, etc.) It s ALWAYS a surprise. Every show, something new. I always talk about how much I would have loved to see Led Zeppelin in concert (I'm only 22), but these guys truly make me feel as if I'm right there. They know how to work a crowd, too. At the last House of Blues show, I had 10 or so of my closest friends up near the stage and we had a blast dancing our asses off. Great show guys; you made a lot of new fans that night! Nice show last night at Platinum live, too I wish the set was longer! Keep rockin' and see you all soon...

I have to tell you guys what an unbelievable show you put on last night. It was honestly one of the best live concerts I've ever been to. A whole bunch of my friends just came in from out of town, many of whom are huge Zeppelin fans. They were blown away. To quote one of them: "I never believed a tribute band could ever do Zeppelin justice. Page's guitar AND Plant's vocals? Impossible. But damnit if they didn't nail it perfectly." When you guys began playing Over the Hills, we went nuts. And then Whole Lotta Love, and Ramble On at the end- what can I say, you guys rock. Plus, you sounded amazing with the House of Blues' sound system- it blew away the show at 14 Below a few weeks ago (where I saw you for the first time.) I'm eagerly looking forward to taking my Dad to one of your upcoming shows- he's got all the original LPs, but never got to see the band live. Anyway, keep up the amazing work, and you certainly have some more new fans.

You weren't going to get a review until NOBODY'S FAULT BUT MINE. You guys continue to esculate your rendition of WHOLE LOTTA LOVE by continually upgrading the melody and inserting different Zep classics.

I was at the little sweat box last Saturday night and you guys blew the place away. The performance blew the other two tribute bands right out of Santa Monica. The energy Led Zepagain brought to the stage with the first three songs could not be matched. I thought that until I heard THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME segue into IMMIGRANT SONG. As you 4 guys grow together so does your technical ability and skill. We missed STAIRWAY but after that version of COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN seamlessly inserted into the middle of WHOLE LOTTA LOVE to close the set, there could be no encore appropriate enough. I will never get tired of hearing Swan (unparalleled vocal ability), Jim W (the Mutant's hands during Immigrant Song amazed me), Jim K.(does this guy ever miss a beat) and 5 String Steve (kickin' version of Since I've Been Loving You, and great pants)perform Led Zeppelin classics. You guys elevate this music and bring it to a level Led Zeppelin could not get to in their live performances. Hey, when are we going to have an A to Z show? I'll be there!

Unfortunately, I am not so lucky as to have been alive when the great Zep reigned over the rock and roll world, but I feel that seeing this band brings me as close as possible to the real thing. Having experienced live Led Zeppelin only through countless bootlegs and few DVD releases, it is so refreshing to see four people so accurately emulate the magic of the great Led Zeppelin. The guitarist hits every single lick of pagey's stuff right on; the rest of the band is also unbelievably accurate - musically and in terms of stage presence. Great acoustic set, too.

The House Of Blues in Anaheim was on fire Monday June 2nd. Starting the show was the Santana-influenced Latin sounds of Milestones , a very professional band. They were jumping and having a great time. These guys are going to go places. Next up was the Jethro Tull tribute band Locomotive Breath , including the original Tull bass player. They reproduced the early Tull sounds faithfully. Finally, Rick came out and introduced the band we were all waiting for. Tonight the band was reproducing the tracklist of the newly released live CD How The West Was Won . Starting with the LA Drone , they launched into a headbangin version of Immigrant Song , this reviewers fave rocker! Next up came Heartbreaker , with the audience providing back-up vocals. Next the boys launched into an excellent version of Black Dog before moving onto a softer song for the ladies, Over The Hills And Far Away . Swan introduced the next song as needing no introduction, cuz it is simply the best English blues song ever made, Since I ve Been Loving You . Next up, Steve Z got out the signature red double neck Gibson for the FM staple Stairway To Heaven , which sounded kind of funny sixth in line rather than as a set ender. Swan asked the crowd if they wanted to get acoustified , which I have yet to find in the dictionary. A beautiful version of That s The Way followed by a foot-stomping Bron-Y-Aur Stomp . Then Swan asked the crowd if any of us were a little confused or maybe even dazed .and the all-too-familiar bass line of Dazed And Confused rang out. Steve, even though the bow gave you some problems, you made your way through it with flying colors! Next they played What Is And What Should Never Be , followed by a great dancing song, Dancing Days . Then Jim K took us all over the top with his great drum solo in tribute to the great John Henry Bonzo Bonham with an outstanding solo during Moby Dick . The show was drawing to a close and the boys came back with Whole Lotta Love , including a bit of The Crunge (we are still looking for that confounded bridge!), complete with the theramin and Swan duo/duel. The first encore was the ever-popular Rock And Roll . But the crowd wanted more so Rick got the boys back out for a great version of The Ocean (with Jim K giving us the beginning chorus) and a final encore of Bring It On Home with Swan on the harmonica. All in all it was a memorable show and I am sure everyone there was thrilled to hear this music once again. Boys, you did a helluva job. Thanks for the tickets, thanks for the memories, and thanks for keeping the spirit alive of one of the greatest bands ever. Rachel and Jen, it was cool to meet you. I am so glad that there are young people who are interested in the music of Led Zeppelin. If you missed this show then I am telling you now to see them whenever they play again. Hit the gigs at Paladinos or Platinum Live and you will not be disappointed. Thanks again guys you rock!!!

Review from online magazine Mediaburn

A Tribute - Led ZepAgain Rocks in Downtown Phoenix

The hard-rocking band, Led ZepAgain played to an enthusiastic crowd Saturday night at Alice Cooperstown in Phoenix. It was more than a tribute to Led Zeppelin's classic songs. It was a recital of great musical themes and a great gathering of spirits.

From the stage set-up and replica drum kit, to the vintage clothing, you may decide to suspend your disbelief and get transported to another time and place. From The Immigrant Song, to Since I've Been Loving You, along with Kashmir, The Lemon Song, and Whole Lotta Love, this band does it all. No question, Led ZepAgain knows how to rock.

The timing of this gig roughly coincided with the release of new CD and DVD sets from Led Zeppelin.

If you're a fan of Zeppelin's music, go have a good a good time and check out LedZepAgain. Performances are scheduled throughout the Southwestern United States.

Well, once again you four have blown me away. I am so sorry that I unsubscribed from the mailing list for personal emotional reasons a while back, but I'm glad to be back again, especially after this show! Your stage presence, amazing talent, and electrical chemistry have made for another spectacular show. One of the great things about Led Zepagain is that the shows are not just about us fans appreciating the music; it's about everybody having fun...you and us. The energy and synergy that the four of you share brings it out of your audience who gladly give it back to you tenfold. Steve Z., whether it's Zep or Pink, you never cease to amaze me. I've known and heard many guitarists throughout my life...you blow them ALL away. Swan, I'll try to keep this brief and to the point...you are the sexiest man alive and I would be more than happy to jump your bones. Have a nice day.

I saw the band at Hermosa Festival, I am privaleged in the fact that I have seen Led Zep in 1979 at Knebworth in England, a truely memorable moment in my life. Your band brought the whole thing back to me in full brilliant color. It was nearly 25 years ago, I was 15!! and it was if I were back there. Led Zepagain were flawless in their execution of the songs, being a drummer myself I was watching JHB closely, good job. Did I notice a slight laps of concentration on Jimmies part ?? still a great show guys - thank you

(Well, there were certainly many 'distractions' walking around by the beach that day! Maybe poor 'Jimmy' found it a little hard to concentrate... ;-) - Zepagain)

Went to the festival just to see you guys. What a marvelous show! Your renditions were so good, they almost brought tears to my eyes. Enjoyed watching people calling up friends from their cellphones just so they can get a taste of your show. What a mix, the beautiful ocean, sun shining day & Led Zepagin! Thanks for your dedication to Led Zeppelin music. Can't wait to do it again.

I happened to see you at the Hermosa Beach Memorial Weekend Fair. God Led me to you as I arrived just in time for you to begin at 3pm. I stayed until you finished (after 6pm). This was my first exposure to your band and I was truly impressed. The sound as well as the look was incredibly like the original band. I enjoyed you immensly. The night before, I had a death in my family and was very depressed. Deciding to go to the fair was the best decision I had made because you guys made my day. You lifted my spirits and helped begin the healing process. Thank you for that blessing.
Love, Light and Shanti (Peace),

I was heading toward class at UCLA when I heard your band warming up. Earlier that day I saw a poster promoting your gig on campus and I assumed it was going to be a student band attempting to play Zeppelin. While I waited for you to get into costume I kept telling myself, "These guys had better not screw up, and ruin the songs to my favorite band." Well you didn't. Not even close. You guys rocked! Somebody wrote in your reviews that they felt they were born in the wrong generation. I totally understand how they feel. I mean, I know more about my Parent's generation music than they do, and it has been so disappointing to know that some of my favorite bands I would never be able to see perform live, like Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. So thank you for giving me an opportunity, in a way, to fulfill a dream I never thought possible. I told some friends about you and they are stoked to see you. Thanks, Jared

I discovered Led Zeppelin late in life. I met my wife shortly their after and she got for me the Zepp box set for my birthday. I was so stoked and Zeppelin became a big part of our courtship. I remember thinking how amazing it would have been to see them live at the peak of there career. Well let me tell you when I left the Zep Again concert at the Anaheim house of blues I was blown away at how amazing these guys were. As far as I'm concearned I saw the best of what Zeppelin could ever have offered. This band has now become a big part of our continuing love for Led Zeppelin, our memories, and for each other.

My friend Frank and I have been to see you every chance we get here in Phoenix: at the Tempe Music Festival, the Maricopa County Fair, and the Tribute to the Troops. You guys blew us away the first time, and have been amazingly better each time we see you, and I can honestly say you are one of the best concerts one could ever see. We tell everyone about you, and bring new friends to each show. But sadly, we won't be able to make the show on May 31st because we will be in a musical written by my friend on the 30th and 31st. We first put it on in Jan. and it got awesome reviews by local papers, and you should come check it out if you have nothing else to do on the 30th; the top high school horn players in the state are in it, and the rock band is quite good too, especially the guitarist, though he is no match for Steve Z. It will be at Glendale High School at 63rd and Glendale.


(Thanks Ben, but we won't be in town until the day of our show on May 31. Best of luck with the musical, and we'll see you guys next time! - Zepagain)

Even though this is not the first time seeing you perform, this is my 1st review.
In the past, hearing the words,"and their gonna'have a band" never thrilled me much(I'm use to hearing D.J.s). When I saw and heard you,I was thrilled with your performance. Ever since, I have been in awe of how talented you all are--Watching Swann close his eyes and feel the music, and how well he entertains the crowd; Steve sharing his talent with the guitar, is amazing; Jim W. seeing his heart come out through his fingertips; and Jim K. bringing us rhythm to life. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. (Watching you 2 times in a row, no problem)

Caught your 7 & 9 p.m. all acoustic show last night @ the Cafe Kasmir which was an appropriately named place for your show. All I can say is "WOW!", you guys were awesome. Jim's performance on the keyboards was sensational. Thanks Jim for your hard work. It's greatly appreciated. My friends & I only had tickets to your 9:00 show but I worked my magic & not only was I able to get us in to your 7:00 show but I got us front row seats to both shows (thanks Brenda!) Thanks for doing "No Quarter" for my brother Roger. As you can tell he was blown away by your performance (Roger knelt & bowed for the band). Can't wait to do it again.

Caught both un-leded sets at the Cafe Kashmir last. WOW! I was not planning on making it to the show because of a tough work schedule but my good friend Celeste bought me a ticket for the second show and since we were going to be there we naturally showed up for the early for the first set. There is no way to describe the night. People who did not make it to the intimate cafe will never know what a great night this was. Where did Swan find Jim Wooten? I've been up close before but Jim is usually standing in the back of the stage. I could swear I saw his hand cover 8 fret positions on that base at the same time, then he picks up that little Mandelin and hits every note. On this same night he plays acoustic guitar, electric 12 string, and his keyboard work on NO QUARTER was fantastic. There is only one explanation for his talent, Jim's a mutant. It's been a long time since I've seen Steve break two strings in one night but I can listen to that guy play guitar all night long with 5 or 6 six strings.....it doesn't matter. Swan is Swan and he gets enough attention. But he makes nights like this very special. The requests he took turned the night into a fantastic impromtu night of interactiion and pacing by performing just about every request thrown out there. Without a doubt, there is not another soul alive who listens to Led Zeppelin with the passion I have for their music. In the 70's I had every album and 8-track (that gives away my age) and now I am on my third set of CD's including a number of bootleg recordings. I catch every Zepagain show I can because you play this music with passion equal to my love for this music. Missed Bonzo Kersey last night. I'll have to catch him on the 25th at the Pier. You guys are going to have to start roping off my spot in front of the stage for me.

He was right on. 2 weeks later at his party, you were fantastic again. Every song was great.

Really enjoyed the expertise and sensitivity of the band and Swan. I saw a tribute last summer with a venue that included Aerosmith. Was Swan the singer in that tribute as well? It was held here in Tucson at Kennedy Park. This singer was Welsh? Swan looks like he could be from Northern Europe as well.
Anyways - a very spiritual experience. Really enjoyed the unplugged, as well.

My friends and I talked to Swan after the show about the upcoming House of Blues show and hoped that you could perform Boogie with Stu and Travelling Riverside Blues. I just noticed that you are going to be playing in Westwood Plaza at UCLA on the 14th...wow. I go to UCLA and my friend and I have actually laughed at how amazing it would be if Zeppelin were to play right on campus there. Please play Trampled Underfoot at UCLA! I'm not sure how long your set will be that day but that would be great if you could include that. Thanks, again, great show! Can't wait to see you guys again.

Wow! The club 14 Below was definitely NOT 14 below tonight! It was hotter than HELL this evening!!! With original rocker "USA Rocks" opening and getting the crowd ready, this show was gonna be a good one! Despite the shitty weather and tiny venue, there was a good-sized crowd for the boys. The curtain drew back and Swan, Jim, Steve and Jim cranked into an awesome "The Song Remains The Same" and it only got better from there! A rocking "Immigrant Song" (this reviewers FAVE headbanging Zepp song!) then a sultry bluesy "Lemon Song" in which Swan literally asked the ladies to 'squeeze his lemons till the juice ran down his leg'! A lovely version of "Going To California", an downright fucking screaming "Achilles Last Stand", the ever sexy "Wanton Song", and a rocking "Whole Lotta Love" were among the nights tasty delights. The boys came back for an encore and rocked the place with "Rock And Roll" with the audience providing backup vocals! Arizona look out! These guys drove straight to your neck of the woods right after this gig in some terrible shitty weather! So get out and support this band and give them some love for helping keep the spirit of the greatest band alive! And boys, be careful and make it back safely so we can see you May 24th at Paladino's! Swan, thanks for your kind words after the gig. I look at it this way. You guys give us fans some love in the way you express these great songs and we give it right back to you with our appreciation.

I've seen Zepagain a half dozen times since I first saw them New Year's Eve 2002/03 in Tempe AZ. Each and every time I am thoroughly impressed by the musicianship and professionalism of this band.

The last show I attended was at 705 in Hermosa Beach, CA and what a show that was! HOT - immediately comes to mind! And the double set was a special treat!

Swan says that Zepagain is all about keeping the spirit of Led Zeppelin alive. But for me they do more than that, I was a "fading" Zeppelin fan until I heard Zepagain. Now I listen to Led Zeppelin with a whole new ear and renewed enthusiasm.

I'd also like to comment that I think Steve has one of the sweetest sounding acoustic guitars that I've ever heard.

Zepagain ROCKS!

Simply fantastic! You guys, not the that snooty club...:) Ridiculous you had to compete with the dreadful hip/hop spewing from the next room. Question: the last time I saw the band was at Scruffy O'Sheas (RIP). That was quite a while back. I know you have different and awesome guitarist in Steve Z (who blew me away in the Queen Tribute Band-Sheer Heart Attack years ago at the Palimino (RIP)!). It seems to me that the rest of the band is also different than the lineup at Scruffy's? Irregardless, Zepagain was top notch then and even better now. The love you all show to the material and the audience is clear. "Rain Song" and "Going to California" were sublime. I live in Redondo, so I can't wait to see you at the Hermosa Beach festival during Memorial Day.

I want to thank Jim K., Jim W., Steve, and Swan for making my birthday a very special night for me. I couldn't think of a better way to turn another year older than to listen to a few hours of Led Zeppelin classics and share it with a few hundred friends. Your performance made it a night alot of people will remember for a long time. Swan's interaction with the kids in the audience made the night even more special for my family and friends. The double set was flawless and again Led Zepagain kicked ass! From the opening jam, to the rockin' ballads, to the acoustical set, to the closing set you guys were perfect! We were on the second floor and you guys rocked the place to the point the crowd was making the floor shake. The segue from ROCK AND ROLL to BLACK DOG with the opening riff from BRING IT ON HOME in between was great. THE ROVER, THANK YOU, and GOOD TIMES BAD TIMES I heard you perform for the first time and they were fantastic. Thank you for the dedication on THANK YOU to my wife and myself, it was the perfect cap to a great evening as was watching seven crazy women dancing on stage with you during the closing WHOLE LOTTA LOVE.

Stairway is a joke and everyone has heard it played by hack guitarists in Guitar Center for 20 years now...People are sick of it and it hurts your band's credibility to play it...(Even though you play it well.)

I had seen you for the first time at the Tempe Music Festival (a religious experience) and recently at the Maricopa County Fair (an even more versatile show). In a word WOW!

How many more times will you guys amaze us, and surprise us with even more unique performances? You play with remarkable precision the most exceptional reincarnations of songs found in "The song remains the same" live album. Plant holds a lively presence on stage (Oh yes.. AAAALLLLLL the Plant moves) with plenty of improvisations to heat up ones Led. Of course by the end of the first song Pagey has the crowd on their feet begging for more. The man is scary, especially with the violin bow. Jonesy's keyboard's playing on No Quarter was phenomenal, and Bonzo brought down the house with Rock-and-Roll. It's totally awesome that you guys plan some time for at least one request (even the weird ones), and give us our fair dose of acoustic heroin. Rest assured that our hearts have a whole lotta love for you, too; thanks for the priceless memories. You have us dazed and confused for so long its not true.

I hate to hear bands that do covers of other bands, because more often than not they butcher the way we remember the song. You guys nailed the true sound and essence of Led Zeppelin, from the music to vocals. I closed my eyes and thought I was listening to the originals. When you extremely talented bunch of guys come back to Phoenix on May 4th, I will be sure to be there!!!

The mighty Led Zepagain featuring Swan, a tribute to THE GREATEST rock and roll band of all time LED ZEPPELIN, made a most spectacular show last night in the city of Montebello California. The venue was the Quiet Cannon on the golf course, but it was anything BUT quiet last night! The original rock openers Faded had the place getting ready for a great evening. Then came the great Santana tribute band Soul Sacrifice. They really had the place hot! Their music was a great homage to the soulful sounds of the legendary guitarist Carlos Santana. Finally, after getting the crowd warmed up, Mr. Rick Ortiz makes the announcement (thanks Rick for all you do!) and the boys explode into 'Rock And Roll'. Next up 'The Wanton Song' and moving right into 'Ramble On'. Next Swan introduces a little ditty from HHOTH, 'Over The Hills And Far Away', a song about a journey, as Mr. Plant used to say. Next up is a quiet song, a love song, for all the ladies in the audience, 'All My Love', with Jim W. doing a great job on the keys. Then the band got the crowd in the mood with 'Dancing Days'. Next, Swan asks if we can all get 'acoustified'! (Is that even a word? Must be if he used it!) and the band goes into a great version of 'That's The Way' followed by 'Going To California' (where else?). Now back to the rocking standards. Steve pulls out the double neck red Gibson for an awesome version of 'The Song Remains The Same', almost like you were there at Madison Square Garden in 1973. This gets everyone in the house going, cuz up next, as Steve Z. whips out his bow, we all know that we are gonna get 'Dazed And Confused'! Steve has mastered the bow solo to keep us all mezmerized (or dazed) but definitely not confused as to what we are here for! Then they launch into an amazing 'Achilles Last Stand' that seems to burn the place up! Out comes the acoustic guitar one more time for a lovely version of 'The Rain Song', which I think is one of the greatest love songs ever written by Led Zeppelin. Now we gotta end with a rocker, and sure enough, the guys give us a 'Whole Lotta Love' with Steve and Swan battling it out with the theramin and vocals. After a brief rest, the crowd wants more, so they throw out the setlist and play a great 'Moby (fucking) Dick' with Jim K. banging away on the drums! Man, that guy never gets tired! Next up was my fave rocker, 'Immigrant Song' with all it's images of the rampant Viking hordes coming to search for new lands, always dreaming of one day making it to Valhalla, which I think we found this night! Finally, after being coaxed out once again by Mr. Ortiz, the band comes back with a blistering version of the BEST blues song ever written, 'Since I've Been Loving You', which just made the crowd go wild! So there you have it folks. This is THE BEST Led Zeppelin tribute band bar none. If they come to a club near you GO SEE THEM! You will not be disappointed! Many wonderful thanks go out to everyone in the band for putting their hearts into making this great music, for also being so kind to their fans (thanks from me too), and for helping to continue the legendary experience of the greatest rock and roll band ever. Hope Arizona is good to you all. See you soon. Peace -

I could type 10 pages of info about how I felt about each and every members performance.
However I dont think all this is needed. To make a very long interesting story very short. I feel that this rendition of Led Zeppelin is the best I have ever head in my life time. Actually, to me, not to dis led zeppelin, but Led Zepagain sounds better than the real Led Zeppelin. This is in regards to any live performane Ive seen of Zeppelin over the years. By the way, Steve, You are my new hero. Ive never heard anyone nail the sound and feel of page as well as you do my friend. Swan, no word can say enough about you and your performance. Keep Zeppelin alive guys.

what's up guys, I just wanted to say (as if you guys didn't already know) you guys rock! I was at Platinum Live show where you performed all of HOUSES OF THE HOLY (I was the loud guy yelling out all of the songs hehehe..) and I must say I am impressed more and more everytime I see you guys play. The first time I seen you guys play was at Beachstock last year and needless to say after that I was hooked! That flawless performance had me mesmerized for days, I couldn't believe what I had just seen. I am a BIG ZEPPELIN fan as you can tell, the sad thing is I wasn't around when ZEP was around so I really apreciate what you guys do because it gives me a chance to have the whole ZEPPELIN LIVE experience,and you guys do a damn good job at it! Well see you guys at the next show and I think I speak for all ZEP fans that have seen your show when I say thank you for keeping the music and spirit of THE MIGHTY LED ZEPPELIN ALIVE!!!
P.S.

I saw both shows last weekend. I spent an enjoyable weekend listening to some great Led Zeppelin music done better than Led Zeppelin did it themselves. I truly enjoy watching an audience hear you guys for the first time. Great show at Crossroads on Friday night and the Houses of the Holy set at Platinum Live was outstanding. I had heard the band do Over the Hills and Far Away before and that is always a quality version, but when you guys broke into Dancing Days, which I heard you do for the first time, my mouth dropped open. Your performances are consistently great and as a group you are tighter than Led Zeppelin could ever be.

As a hardcore Zep fan, I was actually reluctant to go to this show. I thought it would be cheesy and just plain funny (not in a good way). I was pleasantly proven wrong. WOW! These guys have Zep down to a science and it was a lot of fun to watch them having fun. Excellent show!

Just a quick note to Steve Zukowsky: YOU FUCKIN ROCK!!!!!!!! I went last night to see Which Ones Pink? and was treated to your wonderful jammin! Then after they were done I was treated again not only with Led Zepagain but also to you once again jammin your heart out!!! And I must say I am still in awe today! You play like its your last day on earth and you are REALLY good and I really appriciate it. Thank you! And to think that you are in several different bands tells me that you are able to play and sing in a variety of ways and that is VERY AMAZING!!!!!! (not many people could do that) So, I had to write a quick note and say thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! You were the thrill of my night (especially in that button down shirt you wore during Led Zepagain! ;) I look forward to seeing and hearing you again! Thank you!
Sincerly, Jennifer Weaver-the curly brunette that stood in front of you during both sets while you played your heart out. Doubt you remember me but again THANK YOU!!!!!!

All I can say is WOW! You guys were ON FIRE tonight! The band played at the famous Platinum Live in Studio City California, the same club the The Beatles held a press conference on August 23, 1964. This place has a cool-ass 5.1 surround sound system, the only one of it's kind in California, and possibly the country! Starting with a kick-ass version of 'Rock And Roll' then launching straight into 'Celebration Day', I thought I was back in time to a real Led Zeppelin concert! Then came 'Bring It On Home (intro)/Black Dog', which had the whole crowd rocking! With this being the 30th anniversary of the release of the multiplatinum album 'Houses Of The Holy', the band played the ENTIRE album, in sequence, and did it in fine fashion! Steve Z got out the red Gibson double neck and cranked out the first notes of 'The Song Remains The Same', and the band was racing away! Next came a lovely version of 'The Rain Song', one of the greatest love songs ever written. 'Over The Hills And Far Away' followed, with the never played 'The Crunge', and all it's amusing '...I'm just trying to find the bridge!' by Swan. Then came the popular radio staple 'Dancing Days', which got the crowd ready to dance, cuz up next comes 'D'yer Ma'ker', in all it's reggae style! The eerie 'No Quarter' followed, with Jim playing a great electric piano and Steve on the occasional theramin. And to round out the LP, they played a great version of 'The Ocean'. Next the band got 'acoustified', and played a lovely rendition of 'Going To California'. Time to rock boys, and Steve gets out the bow and starts playing the solo from the extended 'Dazed And Confused', quickly followed by the excellent 'Achilles Last Stand', which sounded note-for-note like the real thing! You would swear you were watching Led Zeppelin on stage, it was that good! Brought goosebumps to me! The guys closed with the ever popular 'Stairway To Heaven', with Steve once again bringing out the red Gibson double neck guitar and screaming on the solo! The encore was a blistering 'Whole Lotta Love', which almost burned the house down it was so hot! After the show, the band members were kind enough to sign my poster I had and chat with their fans. Thanks to all of you for keeping the memory of one of the greatest bands in history alive and well. You are all so very talented and I wish you all the best! If you are reading this and have never seen this band, DO IT NOW! They play again on April 11 in Montebello at 901 N. Via Clemente. Run, don't walk to the venue. These guys will blow you away. Thanks guys for everything! Peace - Ray From Texas

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that you guys kicked ass at the 1st Annual Tempe Music Festival, Tempe, AZ. I was in the front row, center stage, with my 11 year old daughter Michelle. I almost had tears in my eyes as I saw my daughter thoroughly enjoying what was her first (and surely not last) Led Zeppelin experience. I can only imagine what it would be like to hear those great tunes for the first time as a youngster. She loved it. You acknowledged the young kids in the crowd and at the end of the show your drummer made his way to the front of the stage and tossed his sticks directly to my daughter. She kept one and gave one to her new friend, Mike, who was about 9 years old. I can't stress enough how great a performance it was. Despite some stage monitor troubles you guys were true professionals. I started playing guitar about two years ago and Steve re-lit my fire once again to go home and practice. What an amazing guitarist! Thanks so much. I hope you can come back next year; you get my vote. Mike T.

As soon as the boys started "Rock-n-Roll" the place went NUTS!!! The crowd got more pumped up w/ every song!! This was my 3rd time seeing them, and every time it gets better!!

I was quite surprised to see the same model amp that I own up there (Marshall JTM-30). What speaker cab (a 2x12 I think) were you using?

Again, thanks for a great show. Sign me up for the mailing list, I don't want to miss you guys next time you are in AZ.

I saw Led Zeppelin twice at the Forum in 1977. Anyone familiar with 'Listen to this Eddie' knows what I'm talking about. It is considered one of Zeppelin's best-bootlegged performances. We have seen Led Zepagain nine times in ten months. It is becoming difficult to say who is the better band. On one hand you have Led Zeppelin who wrote and recorded the music and reigned as the Monsters of Rock for over a decade. On the other hand, you have Led Zepagain who takes that body of work to a higher level. After watching TSRTS on DVD, Cassandra our fourteen-year-old said, 'Led Zeppelin looks better however Led Zepagain plays the music better.' Southern California is lucky to have Led Zepagain.

Zepagain has all of the elements that made Zeppelin one of the greatest bands of all time. A rock solid heavy hitting hammer of the Gods drummer. A multi instrumentalist. A tribute band guitar legend (Hey Steve who taught you how to play? Jimmy Page?) and a charismatic front man who knows how to rock an audience. Does the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have a best tribute band category? If not perhaps there should be.

Back in the day, it use to be smoke a fatty and listen to all four sides of Physical Graffiti. Now it's family night out to enjoy Led Zepagain. There were two major events for us in 2002. Joanne and I were married on Valentines Day and over the Memorial Day weekend we discovered Led Zepagain. Going to that first show I was thinking 'ya right this should be good for shits and giggles.' Was I fucking wrong!! They nailed it and they nail it every time they take the stage. They rocked my world that day and the Tuesday night show at the HOB was one of the best. From the Immigrant Song to Stairway to Heaven and every song in between. Just amazing. Three days later I'm still buzzing. I guess I will have to depend on KLOS's Get the Led Out for my daily fix until the next Led Zepagain show.

Cassandra, Joanne and I would like to thank Led Zepagain for the CD and guitar pick and for all of the great music. Peace always, Dave.

I was really impressed (i cant believe you all werent feeling well, i had no idea). At first I was skeptical cause Im such a big fan of Led Zeppelin's music, but you surpassed all of my expectations. Thank you so much, and I cant wait to see your show again. Do you know when you'll be back? Oh nice, I just saw your Pink Zeppelin Tour, that I Missed! Will you be doing that again? Im sure that was an awesome show as well. Can't wait to hear you perform You Shook me and Babe Im gonna Leave You, two of my favorites, ooh, and Tangerine. Guess I'll just have to come to some more shows! :) Thanks again for the kick ass night! Keep the music flowing.

It's hard to believe that every show can get better!(so hard) But it's true! I've been to at least 10 shows, and every one is a little different and better. I can't beleive anybody in the band was sick that night. Thank you soooo much for the tickets. We drove from Camarillo and got a motel room a mile from the gig. Though we missed Kashmir and Ramble On, my wife and I had a great time. I really like The Crunge too. I hope you play the whole song some time. Steve was especially shredding that night. His guitar playing is awesome! Swan was amazing, again! I could go on and on about the talent of the whole band, but I'm on a split shift and I have to get back to work soon. If your reading this, and you've never seen these guys, GO DAMMIT!!! Your missing out until you do. If you loved the movie "The Song Remains The Same", and always wanted to experience Zeppelin in their prime, then Led Zepagain featuring Swan is the band to see! We love you guys and we'll keep bringing friends to see you. Take it easy, Mike and Karla

1) Saw your show last night. Great job guys. Thought you started off a little rusty but by the 3rd song, you guys were rocking. Could do w/out the country music. Oh my God! Dazed & Confused was out of this world. Steve was amazing on the guitar. Thanks for coming out last night even though you weren't feeling well. Get better Swan. Would love to see you Friday. Don't know if I can make it. Are you guys going to Europe? Take me w/you! Till we meet again.

2) I owe you guys an apology for the bad review. My friend Mark scolded me when I told him what I did. The bottom line is, you guys are awesome. Every single one of you. You've brought back memories that I thought I had lost back in the 70's. I will always be a zepagain fan till the end. There isn't anything anyone could do to change that.

I grew up in the 70's with three older brothers listening to Led Zepp but was never fortunate enough to see them in thier heyday. I went to the Led Zepagain show thinking they would just be another "cover" band. I was completely blown away. I own every album from Zepplin and I can say without reservation, these guys absoulutely take you there. Beyond the absolute talent of every member, Swan's charisma is unmistakeable and un-rehersed. He hits the high notes like Robert Plant dreams he could still hit. See these guys, run don't walk; you will not be dissapointed!
