Re: Led Zep + TOMMY

Calm down Andrew!! I think you misunderstood me (us). I'd never tried to
compare The Who with Led Zeppelin. I think like you do, that they are VERY
VERY different. I was not trying to say who's better either. Besides, I
didn't say that one of them improvises better, similar, or equal than the
other. I just said that both (The Who and Led Zeppelin) used to perform
great improvisations and solos in their concerts as in their LPs. But I
guess it's just due to a simple coincidence.
 I'll repeat my message for you (read it carefully again):

Andrew, sorry if I've bother you, I didn't mean it. But, aren't you a little
touchy? I hope you to understand this time.
