The Black Crowes already possess one of the beefiest sounds in rock. Add legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and now you're talking about thick-cut steak. Recorded in October 1999, this double-disc slab will certainly stick to your ribs, chock-full as it is of burly, brawny riffs, and it is as flavorful as it is filling. Without question, the pairing of Page and the Crowes sounds as strong on your player as it does on paper. Page's playing is more focused and incisive than it has been of late, the Crowes sound energized and inspired by the esteemed guest, and Chris Robinson makes a fine Robert Plant. The Zep covers, which account for 14 of the 20 tracks, stay close to the original arrangements--you can sing along most of the way based on your knowledge of the Zep studio albums. At first, this may seem disappointing, but it becomes clear very quickly that this method is preferable to any heavy-handed reworkings. And they smartly include a few lesser-known tracks as well ("Sick Again" and "Ten Years Gone" from Physical Graffiti and "Out on the Tiles" from III). The real payoff, however, comes with the half-dozen blues covers, which sound looser and more alive than the Zep tunes. This set isn't innovative, surprising, or adventurous, but that's precisely where its charms lie. --Marc Greilsamer

 The ZEP revisited ! November 24, 2008
F. A. Lage Filho (Sao Paulo, Brazil)
Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes were simply amazing that night at the Greek ! What can I say, they honored Led Zeppelin's arrangements, musicianship and excitement, with AXE MAN EXTRAORDINAIRE Jimmy Page in great shape !
Superb performance and sound quality August 6, 2008
Hunter777 (Northern NJ)
A friend of mine asked me to sell some used CD's for her on Ebay, and this was one of them. I decided (for some reason) to give it a listen as I was headed out the door one Sunday afternoon. My attitude was "Let me hear how much this sucks". After all, Jimmy Page, Black Crowes...yeah OK this is gonna suck like a vacuum cleaner.
I came home, called my friend and asked if I could keep this one for myself. Yes, it's that good. Simply put the energy of this performance via the Black Crowes is amazing, and then you add Page to the mix and you have one hot band. I would have bet that no way could this band measure up to Led Zeppelin, but they come mighty close for my money.
Another point is the sound...it literally jumps out of the speakers. Not sure how they recorded it but damn it hits you square in the chest, just like a well recorded concert should. Yes it's a trip down memory lane for Page but for me it's well worth a listen and a must have if you're a Crowes for Zep fan. Just go and buy it already!

truly awesome June 13, 2008
Profile Me (Bowling Green, KY)
Given it is the Black Crowes and Page I expected good things, however I was blown away. If you like bluesy, sexy, powerful driven music - then this is for you. This combination makes In My Time of Dying, Custard Pie, Celebration Day and Out on the Tiles rock. They slide through Ten Years Gone, Your Time is Gonna Come and The Lemon Song in ways that will give you new appreciation for the music. Page hits a few sour notes in his solos, but beyond that this is certainly worthy of purchase.
Great Rock - Is Great, NO Matter Who's Playing It February 15, 2008
Dennis Baker (Sonoma County, California)
Folks - come on, great rock is just that, no matter who's playing it. The Black Crows kick some serious behind all by themselves - and put Jimmy in there with them and what do you have??? WHEW, this CD really gets it on. I'm an old guy (old enough to have seen Zepplen on their FIRST US tour in 1969) and have loved them ever since, but there's no point in talking about being a purist, this is quality work by a bunch of quality musicians and for a live recording, I think the mix is quite good. So, enough said, if you want super hot classic rock tunes to shake things up with, this is the single coolest CD you need, absolutely mate
 Not good if you are a true Plant fan. Dissappointing for me. February 14, 2008
D. Thomson
I'm a huge Led Zeppelin fan and Black Crowes fan and thought that this CD was going to Rock. I'd say if your are more of a Crowes fan this would be a 5 star, but if you are a true Robert Plant fan...I'd give it a 2. A let down on most songs except the few that were not Zeppelin. Just not the same, maybe if the songs were changed to be more their own. Just didn't live up to what I thought it could be.
