BECAUSE THE WEB MOSTLY SUCKS

Album: This is Somewhere
Track: Whole Lotta Love
(4)

Let me start by telling you that I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin and loved Robert Plant as only a 17 year old girl of that era could. You never could have told me then that I would be just as in love with this new version of the Zep classic sung by a women, and futher call it a searingly hot rendition more than good enough to compare with the original.

Yes I am an older and one would hope a wiser woman now. I have to say that Grace Potter just rules singing along with Warren Haynes and backed up by her band mate Scott Tournet playing with Gov’t Mule at the NOLA Jazz Fest 2008.

Take listen and prepare to need some coolin’ when you’re done.

Tonight Grace and Warren are hosting the Jammy's you can be sure if they play this tonight the joint will be shhhmooo-kin' . . .

Proud to call Todd a friend. Can't wait to hear more of his adventures at Jazz Fest - lucky dog that he is!

great post! i'm not usually a GPTN fan, but this tune is out of sight! her voice is fabulous for this song, like Plant and Joplin in one throat! and that's coming from another teen-age Zep fan.

Hey Mollifire - Have you ever heard GPTN live -they are a bit different experience live than just listening to their CD's and in my opinion some of their best songs haven't even made it to CD as they aren't quite as "mainstream", you can only hear them live so far. Anyway - glad you liked this one!

i've heard plenty of live GPTN on MOG. there are quite a few Grace fans here! it's just not really my thing anymore. i think maybe i got my fill of rock/jam bands/folk when i was in my earliest 20's. nowadays, i want that electronic sound. but this one got me despite myself!

Thanks for checking in Mollifire. I'm pretty happy to hear that I found a GPTN sound that gotcha "despite yourself. And yes, there are a few of us here mogging that like to showcase their live sound is it's a lot more rockin' that what you here on their CD's.
