I've recently seen the first tribute band ever. Michael White and The White a tribute to Led Zeppelin. They have an everchanging lineup from what i've seen on their website. I was expecting some longhaired guys in their 40's but I was surprised to see Michael White looking like a fat old longhair and 3 dudes in their mid to late twenties basically dressed in their street clothes. Even I dress up more then these guys when onstage.
When they started playing I was extremely surprised. this was part of their discography series so it means they play a whole album in its entirety.
I went to the Led Zeppelin 1 concert (my fave album!) and these guys were as obsessive about Zeppelin as I am. To the point of playing the Dazed and Confused from the concert album note for note...26 minutes of it!
While Led Zeppelin 1 clocks in at about 38 minutes this playing of the album took 86 with the Communication Breakdown from "live on Blueberry Hill" bass solo and the White Summer/Black Mountainside from Julie Felix Show in 1970.
Like I said these guys were unreal....close your eyes and it was Zeppelin.
