Friday night and I’m not watching Hazzard County. Shame on me! But I do have a good excuse, I’m at Fibbers enjoying a two hour show by Led Zeppelin tribute band Whole Lotta Led. Now I’ve seen these boys before and they are the next best thing, trust me. At the beginning the crowd is a bit thin, crusties in the middle and working backwards, younger Zep fans up front, pressed against the stage barrier. As the evening progresses, the pressure builds from the back and we are all gently squeezed forwards as the late-comers cramming in. It would be tedious for me to detail every Zep song that they covered, basically it was a “best of”. It can’t be as good as the original, but the boys put in a fantastic effort; Lee Addison’s vocals soaring, Nick Ferris delivering a truly virtuoso guitar performance, Geoff Hunt incredible on bass, and Graham Twist who served up a ten minute drum solo to die for. Utterly awesome.
