* - Non Live Nation show
† - without Led Zeppelin2
Led Zeppelin2 - The Live Experience brings fans the excitement
of Led Zeppelin "In Concert" by re-enacting the live improvisation
and onstage interaction that earned Led Zeppelin their legendary
status for performing. Rather than a "greatest hits" show,
fans experience Zeppelin as Zeppelin would have played in front of
an audience. The band has earned critical praise along the
way with Chicago Sun Times
proclaiming, "As good a Zep as Zep ever did back in the day." while
the Dallas Observer says Led Zeppelin2 is "… the closest
thing to seeing the real Led Zeppelin." TimeOut
Chicago adds, "A lot of Zep tributes out there, but this one's
our favorite… its members fully immerse themselves in the
musicianship and style of the four classic-rock heavyweights. That
Yakuza howler Bruce Lamont does a
mean Robert Plant is icing on the
cake."
