This review is from: Led Zeppelin: Concert File (Paperback)

I own several Led Zep books so it was nice to get my hands on this one by Dave Lewis - one of the band's keepers. The good news for Zep-philes is that there is new information. This book makes a good complement to Luis Rey's Zep concert book (now out-of-print I believe). It doesn't try to be academic but rather anecdotal - so that we get a much better picture of the actual live environment that Zep lived in at the time.

It includes reviews from various news sources and on-the-ground accounts of what happened here and there. Would have been nice if the book was a little longer, but it aims to be concise rather than overwritten.

Lewis also tries to be as balanced as he can be. Sure, there's room to disagree on this and that, but this is a good if not essential companion for Zep collectors keen on learning more on the band's live legacy.

I find this book to be very interesting and so full of information, I think of it as an encyclopedia for all that is Zeppelin. It's a great addition to my collection..

5.0 out of 5 stars Fill in the Gaps, January 12, 2007

Brewhockey "Bad example or horrible warning?" (Extreme Upstate, New York USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Led Zeppelin: Concert File (Paperback)

This book is written as a series of concert reviews but it is much more. The author describes events leading up to the concerts and, in some cases, explains why certain concerts were more important to the band's development than others.
I find the ability to follow a particular song's progress from introduction to regular part of the band's set one of the most interesting aspects of this book. If you are interested in the evolution of Led Zeppelin's live set, you will likely enjoy this book. If you're looking for a band biography, you'll probably be happier with "Hammer of the Gods" by Stephen Davis or "Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin - Uncensored" by Richard Cole with Richard Trubo more than this book.
