Here is the review:
A hot evening, very steamy. No air conditioner inside the Mazda
Palace, and you could see Percy and the band suffering from it.
In
the audience, sightings of polite English zepheads alongside
quiet
families and many stoned fans who tried the pogo even during
Going
To California and Darkness, Darkness! The concert was accordingly
tighter, rockier and more nervous than that in the sweet
atmosphere
of Conegliano: check out the fantastic Four Sticks (one of the
great
underrated Zep songs) and What Is And What Should Never Be, or
the
garage punk of Loves Seven And Seven Is and A House Is Not A
Motel
for evidence. During If I Ever Get Lucky Percy sings lines from
Elvis That's Allright. This, and the fact that Robert performs no
songs after 1971 (his favorite covers plus material from the
first
four Zep albums), except for a great rocknroll rendition of 1988s
Tall Cool One, all hint at a sort of back to the roots tour.
Robert
introduces Dylans Girl From The North Country as a song from the
king of troubadours, and for Whole Lotta Love suggests to go
searching the blues deep down in the South of Mississippi. Not a
difficult task, given the temperature and the voracious
mosquitoes
waiting outside the Palace! Great as usual the softest side of
the
gig, with the tender Morning Dew and Going To California, and the
unique light and shade of Gallows Pole, 'Ramble On, and the
unbelievably spine-chilling Hey Joe. An instrumental version of
Celebration Day was performed during the sound check. Hey, and
there
are rumors inside the band of a Best of Roberts solo work, and of
a
new album of Plant and Strange Sensation!
