When The Rock and Roll Greats Breaks

I've seen some amazing collaborations over the years. From Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks to The Band and Bob Dylan. But just recently I've stumbled across this wonderful combination of legends. What kind of superpower album would have it been if Neil Young and Led Zepplin would have released an album. We may never know the true outcome of this but for 10 mins at least we could just open the door and peek into the heavenly supergroup. At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame some sick music organizer came up with the idea of throwing Jimmy Page and Robert Plant on the same stage as Neil Young. Was it ever a sight to have seen. The joy on Page and Plants face seeing Neil just rip into When The Levee Breaks was amazing. It was also wonderful to see Page just sit back and play the rhythm while Neil completely shreds the solos and riffs. Neil was so into it he even missed to cue that the song was over forcing Page to tap him on the shoulder to signal that its time to stop. The only complaint that I have with this performance is I have to question what possessed Robert Plant to pick up a guitar alongside Neil and Jimmy? He looks ridiculous trying to perform alongside two of the greatest guitarists of all time and it just makes him look awkward. But that put aside the highlight by far is seeing Neil do what he does best and just rip through the song with no regard. Its so much fun watching him get so into the song it just takes him to another place where everything else is relevant. You can see Page and Plant eye Young with respect seeing him do what he does best. Kill the guitar.

Muddy Rodgers

I was always a huge fan of Paul Rodgers. From his First band Free to Bad Company to The Firm with Jimmy Page to The Law and now heading the great band Queen. Rodgers has dont it all and in good fashion. All his bands have released great songs and some may say its because of Rodgers and his golden voice. Hes considered one of the greatest rock voices in rock and roll history. With great range and being able to bend a note with ease there's probably nothing Rodgers cant do. Hes always been influenced by the blues, you can surely hear it in his first band Free. But it wasn't untill the early 90's that Rodgers released his first full out blues album called Muddy Waters blues, it was a dedication to the late great blues singer Muddy Waters, covering his songs Rodgers was accompanied by legendary guitarists as David Gilmore, Slash, Jeff Beck, Steve Millar, and Gary Moore. But nothing compared as to when Buddy Guy stepped up to the guitar and laid down the blues like no ones business. Having played with Muddy before Buddy knew just how to bring back the old time electric blues like no body else. Rodgers voice alongside Buddy's guitar is a treat to hear.
