The show began with some old-timey home movie footage of John Bonham accompanied by pre-recorded narration by Jason. The band opened up with an explosive "Immigrant Song". Aside from Jason on drums there was a bassist,guitarist,singer and keyboardist. This was not a casual pick-up band. These guys were seriously talented. Jason would occasionally share some stories about life with Bonzo.
The setlist contained (among others) an intense "No Quarter", "The Wanton Song" and a huge "Whole Lotta Love" complete with a theremin freakout. Of particular interest was Mr. Jimmy on guitar. He is a Japanese fellow who has the Jimmy Page sound down to a science. He even looks like the mid-70s Jimmy.
This was a very fun night of Zeppelin music in one of my favorite cities. Below my ticket stub are some photos/video I took that night.
