I know that song and album too well. (who doesn't). But how many of you have played that album front to back live in front of a crowd in a band for one night only? I have! Ask Colter about it. He ran sound.

Winner! I wish I had been able to.

I never saw Led Zeppelin.  I did see a tribute band, Led Zeppelin 2 at the House of Blues in Chicago in January.  They are an excellent Led Zeppelin tribute band and it was a fun show in a small gig.  I will go again.  zep2.com

Those guys can't play the blues, especially when they are talking about busted levies.

 

For that you need John Lee Hooker:

 

Did ya read about the flood?
Happened long time ago
In Tupelo, Mississippi
There were thousands o' lives
Destroyed

It rained, it rained
Both night and day
The poor people was worried
Didn't have no place to go

Could hear may people, cryin' "Lord, have mercy"
'Cause You're the only one that we can turn to"

Happened a long time ago
A little town
Way back in Mississippi
In Tupelo

There was women, and there was children
They were screamin' an' cryin'
Cryin', "Lord, have mercy
You're the only one now, that we can turn to"

Way back down in Mississippi, a little country town
I know ya read about it
'Cause I'll never forget it
The mighty flood in Tupelo, Mississippi
Been years ago

Lord, have mercy
Wasn't that a mighty time?
Tupelo's gone

I think I'm showing my age. I saw them here in Indy in 1976 at Market Square Arena, I was 13.
