Why Led Zepagain Is A Great Tribute Band

By Rebecca Smith


Many great bands in rock have spawned so many imitators through decades. It is about paying tribute to bands which have made so much iconic music that their songs are still appreciated today. Arguably the most important rock band in musical history often set standards which many others followed through the years.

For young men so loved that band and the music it made that they were inspired to make what probably is one of those great tribute bands today. They style themselves Led Zepagain, and this reminds audiences who they will be imitating. They could do all Led Zep songs like the original, sounding and moving like the original group did.

They studied the group composed of the classic four man line up for rockers. The original bassist was John Paul Jones, the guitarist was Jimmy Page, and the drummer was the late John Bonham while the singer was Robert Plant. Zepagain covers these four musicians and could even pass for them if they wanted.

Group members all come from California, the state is one of the best places for this music which several rock generations play. These days, a lot of folks crave the live sound of Led Zeppelin with so many followers appreciating the imitators because of this. All know how they are playing some of the best rock songs of the past century.

The imitators have accomplished much with the sixties and seventies sound. They have been mentioned in television shows and they have even been paid their own compliments from the original troupe itself. And this means that their efforts have really brought back the music for a new generation of listeners or concert goers.

What will distinguish these from a lot of other imitators is that they make the same sounds as the originals. There is the wall of amplified sound, the elegant and elegiac solos, and the same Plant wail. All these are set with a backdrop able to take people to the wondrous moments in time for the classic rock sound.

A lot of other musicians have been unable to produce the precise copy of sounds, and Zepagain is unique in knowing what it wants. It has translated to renewed appreciation of Zeppelin, while most other musicians are both imitating and trying to make new sounds. Most will fall by the way, and only the few talented groups could make the same iconic sounds as Zeppelin made.

Zepagain will not pretend to be anything other than imitators, and this is the excellent key for their success. For those doing this, the journey continues for love of music and rock. They are still going on, and success is something they take in stride, but it is also testament to how they are talented, and how older music is still great.

Watching them live is another one of those really great things to do. Concert goers who have no idea what a Zep set looked and sounded like are turned on by their live sets. And it is an experience that will always be memorable for anyone.
