I was miles away - this is off the long end of a Canon G9 and it's the best of a bad lot. Gig-wise this was a great show. Lots of swamped up and Krauss-ified Zeppelin, which is far better than it sounds and in the case of Black Dog, better than the original in my opinion. I really liked the encore cover of Johnny Horton's "One Woman Man" though. T-Bone Burnett was allowed a couple of goes too, one of which was the old Louisiana chestnut "Bon Ton Roulez" with intact lyrics including zydeco references. It was two hour show and it flew by, both for the punters and seemingly for the band. It pays to take musical chances it seems...
