event Led Zeppelin 2

The noblest cause a tribute act can undertake is that of recreating the experience of seeing a long-defunct band in concert—a task Led Zeppelin 2 takes very seriously. They might not book the stadiums that Zeppelin played in its heyday, but these imitators get the Led out in a way your battered copy of Physical Graffiti never will, right down to the unearthly tones of guitarist Paul Kamp's bowed Les Paul solos. Sure, purists are still holding out for the real deal's one-off 2007 reunion to turn into a full-fledged tour, but even if that happens, it's doubtful that Robert Plant circa 2010 can wail the opening lines of "Black Dog" as well as his Led Zeppelin 2 counterpart, Bruce Lamont (who also leads respected progressive-metal band Yakuza).
