The Marc Ford era was the best. Much like the Taylor era for the Stones. Glad I got to see them in 90 and 96. Most excellent shows.
While I think its very good, I don't necessarily think thats true. To me, nothing tops How The West Was Won. That is Zep at their peak. Its actually a little before their peak, before they really indulged in it a little too much. That recording is just so in your face awesome.Quote

I gotta add that the album with Jimmy Page is the best Zep live product.

If you buy the CD, it only comes with half the songs, you have to download the other half. At least that was the case when it came out. But I think it's their best work.

Having said that, the Crowes with Page is very good. I will say, I always want it to be better. Its a Zeppelin fan's wet dream setlist, and the band is incredibly competent with all of them sounding great. I just always feel thats what it is though: competent. Its not like, dangerous, which I guess it doesn't have to be, but I just want it to blow my mind and it always just scratches an itch, if that makes any sense.

Really loving Wanting and Waiting. To me it’s better than anything on HD!! It’s got more soul. It rocks. And it sounds authentic.
Anyone know who the new lead guitarist is? The video is pretty great too.

I believe it. HD was really not good. This doesn't sound revolutionary, but it at least sounds like what you expect from the Crowes. HD was a massive step down IMO.

A massive step down from ABB?

At this point in time, yes. As much as ABB hasn't necessarily aged effectively, it's head and shoulders above HD. There are licks, hooks that are memorable - RFD was new fresh and different at the time. The whole album - despite SOL and SN - still sounded like - and had the EDGE of the Stones. HD is sterile, lacking anything memorable, and sounds like something any ol' band trying to make it big these days with a laptop could have produced. It's Mick Jagger, yes, and I hear some snippets of Keef and Ronnie, but it is NOT the Stones. ABB still sounded like The Stones. As I've stated already, I think it's been at least 2 months since I last gave it a listen. And Angry and Waiting and Wanting came on back to back on Youtube last week, and I'd much rather listen to the new Crowes than the new Stones. That's my opinion. First time since I became a fan in '89 that I've actually been disappointed with a release - I don't count B&L as a release as it's all covers, and I wasn't enamored with that one either.

I agree except for SSOH, which I would put in the very top of the Stones output, ever. Other than that, yes, ABB is somewhat stronger, IMO. But I respect those who feel otherwise. Music is so personal!
"Wanting and Waiting" is a grower. It sounds raw and genuine. Unadulterated by modern pop production sensibilities, unlike so much of HD. This organic purity is what I want in my rock and roll diet, and my doctor agrees.

IMO, only three ABB-tracks are good enough to be included on HD (RJ, LMDS and LIND).

Here I have to disagree!
For fun I made a playlist of ABB songs trying to replicate the HD scheme to better compare the two albums. Not necessarily my favs off ABB, I followed HD's track list and tried to find a counterpart in ABB. This is what I came up with
Rough Justice
Dangerous Beauty
Streets of Love
Oh No, Not You Again
It Won't Take Long
Biggest Mistake
Rain Fall Down
Let Me Down Slow
She Saw Me Coming
This Place Is Empty
Laugh, I Nearly Died
Back of My Hand
To my ears it is just as good as HD.
Of course, tastes are tastes, but there is nothing on HD that is more worthy, strictly from a song writing or performance point of view, than what is on Bang!
