One was Keith Levinson and I can't quite understand what Roger says for the 
other.  It sounds kinda like Jimmy Joe (or maybe Joel)

That's all of it except for the harmonica playing on Let's Work Togethter

Since they didn't rehearse My Gen it was amazingly smooth<G>

By Janis Joplin as well as Piece of My Heart which brought tears to my eyes.

I was absolutely blown away by her. I had heard her sing on the BRS DVD (as 
well as on a boot from the RAH BRS show) and knew I would like her, and 
that she would be doing Zep songs.  What I didn't expect was the Joplin 
songs and she did them perfectly.

What was interesting was that the set list didn't have this as the planned 
song.  Wonder why he changed it?  What was on the list you ask?<G>...it 
says "Secret Love" a song that I'm not familiar with.
