Led Zeppelin tribute band "Led Zepagain" in San Pedro Friday, Aug. 5!

Are you a Led Zeppelin fan? If you are, you might be interested in "Led Zepagain" a tribute band. They will be performing at the Taste in San Pedro on August 5, 2011.

Here is what music reviewer Aniruddh "Andrew" Bansal wrote for metalassult.com about Led Zepagain after seeing them at the House of Blues in West Hollywood in January 2010.

"At around 11.15, the wait was finally over when Jerry Greenberg, former president of Atlantic Records and a man who, as he told us, toured with Led Zeppelin and played congo with them at the Madison Square Garden back in the day, introduced Led Zepagain as the 'closest thing to the real deal'. I can't disagree with him on that one, that is for sure.


 They kicked off their super-amazing set with 'Immigrant Song'. This was the first time in five that I got to see them play this as an opening song, and it was perfect. Such an exciting song, getting everyone pumped for the rest of the night. They followed it up with classic after classic from the wonderful Zeppelin catalog and it was a sheer privilege to be there witnessing the spectacle. Yet again, they kept things fresh for the regular Zepagain attendee, and made as many as seven changes from their most recent show at the Grove in Anaheim.


We were in for an even more special treat this time, in the form of Frankie Banali, ex Quiet Riot drummer and Sakurai-San, also known as 'Mr. Jimmy', guitarist for a Zeppelin tribute band of the same name in Tokyo, Japan. These guests jammed with the Zepagain guys on stage for the song 'Over The Hills And Far Away' and Sakurai stayed on for the next song 'Rock And Roll' as well. People say that Sakurai is the closest you can get to the living legend Jimmy Page, and I saw it with my own eyes why that was the case.

The band played 'Stairway to Heaven' and 'Kashmir' after Sakurai's departure and closed out the night with the encore of Heartbreaker and Whole Lotta Love. I would like to thank them for giving us such a special treat and surprising us with a guest all the way from the far east. Zeppelin music is always like a trip to heaven, specially when played by these guys!"
