Jerry and Jimmy were/(is) guitarists that reached those "what just happened" moments, Zeppelin was a touring band changing as the tour progressed. They had mail order for that fall 1980 tour that got cancelled. Those les Paul, double, triple neck guitars are heavy, Page admired Garcia's work, just as Plant thoughtfully spoke of deadheads recently. Don't miss this movie, unless of course you're heading for April fool's day in Seattle, it's gonna have some good footage

I too am a Zep fan, but someone told me recently a sobering fact to consider when comparing them, or any other band to the Grateful Dead. Their entire library was like 68 or 83 songs or some such. I'm sure somebody on here knows for sure. I think the Dead did single shows in the 70s with that many songs, and then again the next night, with no repeats.

Ps: listening to "No Quarter" loud as shit in the dark is cool.

What's the dead's 100% original song count. Plus they had no robert hunter. Without hunter I firmly believe the dead would be a Jefferson airplane or another 60s band that never really adapted to the changing music landscape. Zeppelin was to hard rock what the dead was to jam bands.

Btw I'm not putting the dead down. Re-reading this is sort of sounded like I was. Just saying Hunter was a pivotal piece. When he joined the band their song count just exploded. And they went from blues covers to amazing original songs. He directed them into whimsical lyrics that fit their style of play. Can u imagine if they never collaborated with hunter.
