There has been a lot of talk on the Led Zeppelin list lately about 
the Quad tour.  Everyone who saw that tour has been enthusiastic, and 
the discussion hasn't even brought on a horrible "Who vs. Zeppelin" 
debate.  Just lots of Who/Zeppelin fans telling Zeppelin fans how 
great Quad was.  Others have come up with quotes from Roger on how 
Led Zeppelin is one of his favorite bands, Kashmir is great but he 
would'nt try to sing it because he can's sing like Robert Plant, or 
respects him too much...or something like that.  Basically a love 
fest.

The only sour note was when one person reported that Roger's voice is 
shot and the implication was that it was shot permanently (though not 
stated specifically).  Others responded with their thoughts and 
quoted the original message so there it was again...his voice is 
shot.  Well I came to Roger's rescue and reported that his voice was 
in great shape in Atlanta and that he had had a cold when touring the 
northeast so he had a few bad voice nights.  So now the Zeppelin fans 
have a more accurate picture.  I can easily see why someone might 
conclude that Roger's voice is shot if they attend a few shows and he 
sounds horrible at each one.  He has good nights and bad nights.  But 
he also has great nights.

The Who vs. Led Zeppelin...hmmm...let's not even go there!!!!!!!!

On another note I'm still laughing about that "count 'em on one hook"
bit.  That was a good one.   =:^)
