Hi, my name is Weston. I am what you would call a rock camp veteran, this my fifth and best year so far. So yesterday I, along with other campers, had the oppurintunity to watch the film How The West Was Won (no, it's not a movie with John Wayne), a film about the british rock group Led Zeppelin. It features concert footage of the golden gods at their best.
The first seven minutes is drenched in a blues groove with Robert Plant and his chest-beating vocals; Jimmy Page and his out of this world guitar. John Paul Jones and his solid bass line add a touch of class to the group, while John Bonham thunders out drum fill after drum fill. The band pulls out hit after hit, but not like on their records. For example, Jimmy Page , being the amazing guitarist he is, pulls out a violin bow and does this crazy ten minute solo! It was like I was Apollo Creed and the Page violin bow guitar solo was that big Russian guy!!!!
All in all, even if you are not a heavy Zep fan, this movie will leave you mystified by the fact that four guys can play music this pure and awesome
