David Lee Roth Better Than Robert Plant Singing Live???

[DLR Bridge]

A group of cattle or other domestic animals of a single kind kept together for a specific purpose.

...and Peter Frampton's first band.

Define Herd.

As last time I checked, most everything I read was not heard. i am typing this as we speak.

Some of it I read, some of it I heard. I don't see the word herd in my post but I can't see very well so it might be there somewhere. There is a thing called a radio. They still play Zep for an hour here everyday of the week and tell Zep stories so it is possible but I have said heard in reference to things I've read.

The singer is always going to be the weak link in an ageing band. Plant has realised that he can't do what he did at 22, and the rest of the band moderate the songs to accomodate him. The sisters don't, and Dave still struggles his way through.

I guess it's a question of versatility plus getting along............

Plant resisted putting Zeppelin back together for years after Bonham died, but truth be told Plant's voice did lose a chunk of power by the time the Houses of the Holy tour came around, and by the time they were touring to support Presence Plant was being very careful to not blow what he had left of his voice out, and as a result he began to rely live on a lot of harmonized, echoed vocal effects to pull off the higher-end stuff.

I doubt at this late date Plant could really do a lot of the Zeppelin tunes justice live in terms of trying to sing them how they were originally recorded.

He never could, except maybe the 1969 live stuff...

I just watched the Knebworth '79 stuff last night. Sounded damn good to me.

Plant was losing the high notes by 1973. Even back then, I was being accused of short changing him in the deal I made for his soul.

Plant sounded fine at the last Zep show in 07 too.

High notes shmigh notes. He's always sung with feeling in my book.

I still haven't seen that yet. I'm not sure what the hold up is.

" Sick Again " sounds deadly on that show. That is the shit right there. I love it. John Paul Jones cooks.

I wish there was less pressure. I feel dead again.

It is funny that people say Dave has a problem with his voice. His voice is fine. Dave's problem is that he CHOOSES to sing songs completely different from the recorded version. Different timing, different pitches. Guess what Dave - we don't want to hear that! We want to hear the songs more or less like they were recorded. There is nothing wrong with singing songs slightly different live to spice things up. But you carry it way too far to the point where the song almost isn't recognizable. You had the right balance of sticking to the original style singing and spicing things up during the 2007/2008 tour. But on the last tour you really screwed things up. The songs were almost unrecognizable the way you sang them. Please Dave, go back to your 2007/2008 style of singing. Thanks. Your fans.

On a related note... David Coverdale can still sing (unlike Plant). So Page and Jones should hire Coverdale, change the band's name to something like Houses of the Holy (or Deep Zeppelin, maybe Led Snake, or The New Yardsnakes), and print massive cash. Or even hire Ann Wilson for that matter (Led Heart - Nancy could play rhythm guitar).

Also for the dude that thinks Van Halen isn't in the same league as Led Zeppelin, you are utterly clueless I am sorry to say! The greatest bands of all time are The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Van Halen, and Led Zeppelin... in that order... imo! Also Van Halen was much more innovative than Led Zeppelin. Zeppelin plagiarized..... but I must say they did a damn fine job of it.

Except you're probably basing those comments on the official overdubbed and highly processed recording of that show, since you weren't actually in London to see the performance.

Uhhhh...... no.

Seriously..... that would be about as bad as another Van Hagar tour.
