How to not offend? That's tough. After looking over several reviews of this recording, I find many people comparing James Patrick Page to Jimmy Page. He spent many years (27 to be exact) to make a compilation of his Zeppelin works. Also in comparison are Chris Robinson and Robert Plant. Hmm...seems so small. How do you compare blues artists? Chris Robinson, in his own right, is an outstanding blues vocalist as is Robert Plant. Jimmy Page, as well as Willie Dixon, are both vintage guitar players. Chris Robinson has accomplished what most people have strived for, and that is playing with the "great" Jimmy Page. Stop all the teenage whining. Chris Robinson never tried to be anything more than the Crowes vocalist. Robert Plant is not offended and nor should you be. In a nut shell, this is a fabulous recording. Perhaps greater than "The Song Remains the Same," in that, "not to offend," Jimmy Page has finally found a group of musicians who can make the mark.

Now that I have your attention, Jimmy Page has finally found a band worthy of recording Led Zeppelin material. And if you have not previously noted, Jimmy Page has used over-dubbing in many of the earlier recordings...In fact, all the recordings. Now, does it not serve him well to be able to exercise that "over-dub" into a live act? The recording allows Jimmy to perform beyond the norm.
