I saw them a few weeks ago at The House of Blues in MB and they were very tight and loud!
Fucking fantastic 👊👊 guitar solo off the hook!!!
They are the real deal. Roto is fantastic!!
They are fantastic. I never got to see Led so this was much appreciated. They are the real deal and play with passion.
Great timing!! So many bands play Black Dog way too fast. You guys hit that groove perfectly! This drummer gets it.
Awesome ✌🏻🫶🏻🤟🏻
Bad Ass

Every time ZOSO comes to MI I don’t miss a show 🎸🥁🙂
Zoso has arrived at the Pinnacle Baby!❤
Hello my Lord tell your wife(momma) god hello for me ♥️🪐
Legit quality and Artistry... Amazing...
Supreme
It was a pleasure watching Zoso tonight at the House of Blues Houston. When you guys launched into this you set the place on fire with energy. You are a master at your craft, James.
Sorry, but this just sucks.
Get rid of the lead singer, keep the rest. That aint Led Zeppelin
I get what you’re saying,but I think it’s the sound at this place. I’ve seen them in Sacramento CA and they sounded like the real deal. Watching this video I immediately thought what the hell is wrong with his voice.
FINALLY COMING TO AUGUSTA!
This was a highlight at Wally’s in Hampton Beach last week!! Look forward to your next “Boston” date!
Sounds a little off.
Wicked guitar! This band kicks ass.
Great band 👏👏👏
saw them in downtown Detroit. Stood far enough back to be hearing the full P.A. What I'm hearing here is stage volume vocals, from the monitors. These guys are great. I remember James strapping on a Danelectro for the final song. Knew it was likely going to be Kashmir..
Not bad.................
Wicked pissah!
Great cover but the acoustics of the hall did not do the guys justice!
Very, VERY nice!!! ☺️
Get your asses to Boston boys! We need some rock n roll! 👏👏💥👍 Well done!
Led Zeppelin!!!
OMG, this is disgusting!!
Can you elaborate?
yeah, elaborate
Being a musician my self..sounds pretty good...are you a musician???
I Beggs to differ...😂😂😂

He will certainly put lotion on your skin and give you the hose again......
Wow. Dude actially looks moves and sounds just like plant? Even the guitsrist looks like jimmy
this is fantastic best zep cover band of all time
I was there! Great stuff
Awesome!! ❤. Can’t wait to see you in Toronto!!
Look up the UK Tribute Act Fred Zeppelin.
My first Zoso show, which convinced me to come back again and again, featured Mike Morgan, then many great shows with John. I look forward to seeing you continue the string of great shows. See you in February.
I hope John is OK.
Guitar player is wicked pissah!
Awesome 💙
Going to the Toronto Feb 02 show, looking forward to it and please play this one. NOICE!!!
la voce non si sente una fava
Fk yeah , this rocks ! 😉
Awesome rendition, and even has the correct Gibson double-neck with the extended tailpieces!
Thank you kindly!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
DUDE.
Impressive! 🤘🏿
You guys nailed my favorite live version of this song! Cheers!
Nice job. Saw this live last night, Michigan. Give me some of that 1972 Australia .. I think version. Great extended solo from Pagey on that.
thx, bud; will pull some of that in! great call! appreciate your insights. 🙏
I've seen ZOSO 7 times,in the Metro Detroit area. This is a good job and yes, close to the Royal Albert . I can only speak for myself, but what really has brought me out so many times to see Zoso... Has been the live renditions including near note for note replication of the LedZep live improv and extended solos. I'm looking forward to checking them out again, now with James , this coming weekend! Don't let me down,JAMES🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
hey, man; were you able to catch a show this weekend? curious to hear your take, and happy to perhaps shed some light on my philosophy behind how to best pay tribute, and play through the mindset as well as the notes, of the great James Page. all the best. JVR
@@jamesvolperotondi4294 hey. Yes, we met last night. I was in the front row with my wife and friend,first set.. They we're toast. Lol. We had a short chat and I complimented your play. The set was a few songs shorter than usual. That Lexington theatre is a great venue for sound, as I love it loud n clear. The part I don't like is the sitting crowds every time. Pretty lame to sit through the greatest music ever. I think your on top of it,man. I will see you again at the Emerald theatre, Mt.Clemens Mi... I think November. That crowd will be much better. Thanks for being cool and taking a few pics with us.
@@dominicscharret4288 so glad you enjoyed it, man, and that we got to chat. as you can hear, my approach is to nail the studio solos pretty much as recorded, incl. ghost notes, and of course hardcore tone crafting a la JP, incl. using specific plate or spring reverbs, slapback delay, and JP’s distinctive Les Paul pickup blend; ditto for the more compact live solos. For those longer improvised long solos, though, I like to preserve a bit of the spontaneous magic that made them great to begin with. I’ll typically nail the opening and closing 16 bars as close to TSRTS (or BBC, West, etc) as possible, but in between I prefer to follow JP’s “roadmap” and his main motifs, if you will, rather than exclusively play the exact licks, though I incorporate those, too. JP was very positional about his play, and I’ll typically go to those positions and those raw materials (D Dorian mode originating at the 10th fret, for example, in “No Quarter”; F# Phyrgian mixed w Dim on BBC “Immigrant”) and keep the phrasing and attack in the JP wheelhouse, working off JP’s licks and figures as motifs to wring even more ideas from. (John Mayer takes a similar approach to Garcia in Dead & Co, and it’s also how I approached Frampton’s longer solos during my 3 years playing with Humble Pie recently.) Hope that’s not too much guitar geekery for ya! Thanks for saying hello the other night, and yes, see you in November, bruv…! 🙏 JVR
