Led Zeppelin Tribute Concert

Report and Photos by Penny Sheltz
Led Zeppelin was an English rock band
whose career spanned 12 years from 1968
to 1980. They were considered one of the
most successful, innovative, and influential
rock groups in history. The tribute band at
Downtown at the Gardens had great energy
and the singer looked and sounded a lot like
Robert Plant.
The band shared the authenticity,
appearance and sound of the great Led
Zeppelin but more importantly the band
shared the energy with the audience and the
experience that Led Zeppelin created while on
tour. Top songs of Led Zeppelin are Stairway
To Heaven, Whole Lotta Love, and Kashmir.
