Day two of my Purple Rocks bucket record journey journey was the most effective of the 2. The climate was great, and this time I had a go to shoot from the picture pit. Plus, there have been 2 nice bands, Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Night, and Gov’t Mule doing their very own music in addition to a set of Pink Floyd songs.
Bonham’s band opened the present performing their Led Zeppelin Night.
I used to be lucky to see Led Zeppelin a number of instances within the 70s, and so they undoubtedly cemented a spot in my reminiscence as one of many biggest bands of all time. Jason Bonham’s band is superb, and so they sound nearer to the unique Led Zeppelin than any tribute band ever may.
Vocalist James Dylan sounds very very similar to Robert Plant.
He sings with emotion and could be very animated on stage.
Guitarist Jimmy Sakurai mimicks Jimmy Web page completely,
and even kinda seems to be like Web page used to look from a distance.
Bassist Dorian Heartsong does an important job with the low notes.
Jason Bonham, son of Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham (R.I.P.), hits laborious, and tells tales all through the present about rising up along with his well-known dad in England. He talked about that Zeppelin was way more well-known within the states than they have been again residence.
The band got here out on stage to a LZ recorded “Within the Mild,”
after which opened the set with “Good Instances, Dangerous Instances.”
Following this traditional rocker, the band performed: “The Ocean,”
“Over the Hills and Far Away,” “Ramble On,” “What Is and What Ought to By no means Be,”
The sold-out crowd was very enthusiastic all through the set, and I am certain each particular person there would agree with me that I may have listened to this improbable band all evening lengthy.
Each tune was performed to close perfection so it was type of like a blast from the previous for me. Should you ever get an opportunity to see this nice tribute to the historic Led Zeppelin, seize your tickets quick because it’s certain to promote out!!!
Purple Rocks is a singular venue set within the mountains of Morrison, Colorado, a few half hour from Denver. I extremely suggest that you simply add this superb live performance amphitheatre to your bucket record! You should definitely take a look at the dinosaur museum and Dinosaur Ridge just some miles away as properly.
