Mellotronists

Someone in the area where they perform ought to try and get an 
interview with the band and see if indeed they are seeking "the real 
deal". I know a band in the North Carolina/Virginia area that does 
Led Zep covers (The Levee) and in my last communications with them a 
few years ago, they were looking for the real deal to cover such 
songs as Kashmir and The Rain Song in their live set with a bit more 
authenticity. Never got to hear an recorded music from them so I 
cannot say how faithful the sound is...I guess because they are/were 
strictly a local Led Zeppelin covers band and didn't have the 
legalese in place to send promos and demos out for radio airplay...

Rather doubt they'd be up for it, if for no other reason than they'd have to
chose which three of the four sounds they use they'd have! After seeing them
last year, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about anyway - a wooden,
lifeless performance, not a living, breathing band at all.
