Review:
by
David Proctor - IN Music writer
Like
four British Caesars Led Zeppelin came, saw and conquered a frenzied, sold-out
Salt Palace audience Saturday night.
Easily
the most elaborately staged rock performance ever seen in Salt Lake City, it
will be remembered for years to come.
Messrs.
Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham are in the midst of a $3-million nationwide tour
and the 11,000 plus fans here probably will be the smallest crowd they
encounter. But it didn't seem to affect Zeppelin in the least. In fact, they
seemed to enjoy the audience contact - something you don't encounter before
58,000 people in a baseball stadium.
LIGHTS,
MIRRORS
The
Salt Palace stage was a collage of lighting scaffolds, spotlights, huge banks
of speakers, various light-reflecting devices, 14-foot-high mirrors and, of
course, the four stars themselves. Super-singer Robert Plant and Jimmy Page
fronted the band and drew most of the attention while the rhythm section of
bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones and drummer John Bonham supplied the
music's foundation.
*Rock
and Roll* one of Zeppelin's better recent songs opened the two-hour show.
It's
a song that really moves - but sets a pace that's impossible to maintain. So
they slipped into some slower material from their new *Houses of the Holy*
album.
PATTERN
CONTINUES
The
band continued the fast-slow pattern through most of the night -alternating
older, familiar tunes with new album cuts. Also in the format were Page's
guitar breaks of varying lengths during almost every song. Most of the time, he
carried it off admirably, but inevitably he began to repeat himself.
But
preciseness wasn't the object. It was the flash...the excitement...the
theatrics...the total audience involvement that Zeppelin was after. They
succeeded - and then some.
It
was remarkable that a concert which generated such advance excitement - and was
performed before such an enthusiastic audience - was kept under such control.
Most of it was due to restraint on the part of the audience. They were
exemplary.
20 MINUTE SHOWCASE
*Dazed
and Confused* was stretched out to a 20-minute showcase for Page and the
special effects staff. Using a violin bow on his guitar and a delayed-echo
system, Page had the sound bouncing from one side of the stage to the other. At
times, it circled. When it began to be redundant, they moved quickly into
*Stairway to Heaven,* one of the finest songs they've ever written. John Paul
Jones' work on the synthesizer was beautiful throughout the concert but
especially on this number.
