The impressive thing was that Led Zep sounded the same with a couple
of feet of flames emerging from the center of the speaker - for a
while...
:-)


That would certainly be a sight to behold, but I've never deliberately
listened to Led Zep and don't know their stuff, so I can't say it would
have been an improvement!

I was using them purely as an expletive loud test signal. Interestingly,
the result sounded much the same even when squared off by clipping. :-)


I appear to have 66 tracks/4 albums of them in my MP3s. I just ran up 'Night
Flight' and 'Four Sticks' and couldn't listen to more than a few seconds of
them - hopping through the tracks!

It'll be me, I daresay - I know they are/were very popular!

(Bit more interested in Dragonetti atm, tbh! :-)

Try this for a taster:

There's some amazing high notes - never mind the bass!

Yes, and ground-breaking virtuoso and nutter - do a Wiki for more.

The collection of life-size doll traveling companions does seem unusual.

They got the best seats in the house (front row) at some of his
performances, I gather!! :-)

Can't wait to ask my double bass player friend about it!
