Following their dreams of recreating the complete sound of one of rock's greatest artists of all-time, GET THE LED OUT - one of the country's premiere tribute bands - pays homage to Led Zeppelin on Friday, June 19, 7:30 p.m. at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
From the bombastic and epic, to the folksy and mystical, GET THE LED OUT have captured the essence of the recorded music of Led Zeppelin and brought it to the big concert stage. The Philadelphia-based group consists of six accomplished musicians intent on delivering Led Zeppelin's studio recordings with all the bells and whistles. Utilizing the multi-instrumentalists at their disposal, GET THE LED OUT re-create the songs in all their depth and glory with the studio overdubs that Zeppelin themselves never performed live.
Dubbed by the media as "The American Led Zeppelin," GET THE LED OUT present a two-hour plus set each night that spans the mythic career of the legendary British super group. With a strong focus on the early years, they also touch on the deeper cuts that were seldom, if ever heard in concert.
The group is achieving strong box office scores in the Mid-Atlantic. Not uncommon are return-visits and sell-outs at a number of the region's most prominent venues including House of Blues (Atlantic City), Pennsylvania's Sovereign Center and Keswick Theatre, and Oswego New York's "Harborfest" as well as countless other theaters and national concert venues.
GET THE LED OUT's approach to their performance of this hallowed catalog is not unlike a classical performance. "Led Zeppelin are sort of the classical composers of the rock era," says lead vocalist Paul Sinclair. "I believe 100 years from now they will be looked at as the Bach or Beethoven of our time. As cliché as it sounds, their music is timeless."
A GET THE LED OUT concert sort of mimics the "light and shade" that is the embodiment of "The Mighty Zep." Whether it's the passion and fury with which they deliver the blues-soaked, groove-driven rock anthems, or the delicate nature of their intimate, sit-down acoustic set (complete with special guest female vocalist for The Battle of Evermore), it's their attention to detail and nuance that makes a GET THE LED OUT performance a truly awe-inspiring event!
