This cd flat-out rocks! If you are the slightest fan of Zep, the Crowes, or general blues rock, then this is one you have to own. Odds are you are a fan of all three. What makes this cd truly great are the seldom-played Zeppelin tunes and the cover songs. The three guitars allow for songs like Ten Years Gone, In My Time of Dying, and Hey Hey What Can I Do, as well as a few others that Zeppelin might never have been able to do live. I'm personally glad they stuck to some of the non-radio material instead of songs like Black Dog and Rock and Roll which are good, yet very worn out. This is an extremely blues-heavy album that rocks and should be played LOUD. Chris Robinson makes a very good Plant, at least better than anyone else out there, and the same goes for the Black Crowes as a band. No one else is closer to Zeppelin's style. My only complaint is the shortage of Black Crowes songs, which is a shame. True Zeppelin fans will appreciate this for the song selections, but it's also a great buy for anyone else. I desperately wish I could see the live show, but I can't. Anyway, buy this cd as fast as you can and don't forget to check out the song Shapes of Things, it's awesome!
