I agree that all of the groups are great.  But I am sad by the fact that no one 
has talked about "The Moody Blues"  They were innovators and great poets.

I agree, Ian Anderson is quite a musical genius.  Not to mention
excellent performer (acoustic guitar, flute, etc.).

I'm impressed by the WIDE variety of styles that Tull has been
involved with, if you listen to Aqualung then Under Wraps right after
you'd never think it was the same group if you didn't know better.

My favorite Tull sogs are the intricate acoustic pieces like
Cheap Day Return, Wond'ring Aloud, Requiem, Slipstream....
most of them only a minute and a half or so but extremely
intricate and original, I'm amazed how someone can just think
up music like that.  

Rob

P.S.  BTW the new live acoustic album is great!!!!  Anyone agree?

I don't think that TSRTS is entirely indicative of their concert performance.
The movie came out before true stereo, longh before Surround Sound.  They had
to run four different soundtracks at the theater to attempt to get a full
sound.  I do agree that Plant had a bad performance, but Page kicked ass.
>THE DREAM SEQUENCES ON TSRTS SEEM PRETTY PRETENTIOUS TO ME.

The movie came out before Industrial Light and Magic was in business.  
Visual effects weren't much at the time of filming.  I do think that
Led Zeppelin tried to overdo it a bit.

>As for the level of playing, Jones, Page and Plant seem at times to be
>playing in entirely different keys. 
Page and Jones are the heart of the band.  Bonham was exciting, unusual.
And the drum solo, BTW, is mostly played without sticks.

I can see where you are coming from, but you did take a bit of a leap of
logic from "they weren't together and the video sucked" to "Zep was a bunch
of phonies."

I think they were on of the first bands to try a new format "video" and
just didn't do a fabulous job.  None of the creative minds of that time
could compete with the video imagery available to the worst group today.
Video can make a talentless band look good, and at least get a flash in
the pan.

I liked your post, it's cool to see somebody who talks about a band they at

Actually, Skynyrd has had a number of lead guitarists as one of their
trademarks is their multiple guitar leads.  Here are the ones I
remember:
Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, Ed King & Steve Gaines...there were
probably more.  Any one out there got others?

I, like Giri, have always enjoyed bands like Zep, Tull, Floyd, Genesis,
etc.  One band I've yet to see mentioned in this newsgroup that has to
be considered one of the all time classic rock bands is the line-up of
Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, John Lord, Roger Glover and Ian
Paice...DEEP PURPLE!!!  "Machine Head" has to be one of my favorite
albums of all time!

Actually, Jimmy himself admits this.  Presence was a really stressful album
(for a variety of reasons).  He says that he went into that song thinking
"Now I'll do a blues song"  It's the only time he's admitted he did that
on a song.

I personally think that if you want to really appreciate Zep, you've got to
hear them live.  And I don't mean Song Remains the Same.  The best boots I've
heard are:

Blueberry Hill  (LA '70)
San Francisco '69
Destroyer (Cleveland '77)
Earls' Court (U.K. 75): a 33+ minute version of Dazed+Confused!

Basically, all the '75 shows were awesome.  The early '69 shows were cool.
'73 is moderate.  '77 is very good.  The '80 shows are good and generally
have the best sound quality of any boots, but they all sound the same so you
only need 1.

Just my $.02,
Adam

Man,
This has to be one of the hardest things ive ever done,but im going to
have to go with Zepplin on this one.My first(and several since)concert
was an aerosmith concert was an aerosmith concert and all my uncles
are die hard fans from the old days so i grew up on tyler/perry
sandwiches.but for ALLTIME greatest ill have to stick with Zepplin
because of their diversity.Aerosmith is awsome and they may even catch
Zepplin in my opinion before long but then, who cares about my
opinion?!
BTW my Aero-favorite is probably "Season of Wither" or maybe "Walkin the
dog".
