Impressive treatise, Mitchell! I did not know a lot of the blues history you offered! Plus, I had no idea Plant would/could do "Levee" into the current century (with or without Alison). Color me learning!! I love telling "kids" I see these days wearing Zep or Swan Song t-shirts that they were my first concert...in 1970.
I was 15. Dad had managed to score floor tix for the Hofheinz Pavilion show on the U of Houston campus. I sold my 1-inch-square ticket stub to the show for $100 (on eBay) around the turn of the century!
You mentioned Robert Christgau, a rock critic I used to read voraciously in the '70s. He, as well as another rock scribe hero of mine from back in that day, Wayne Robins, have their own Substacks! We (or they) are in select company! Again, keep up the good work!
Nice Brad, very cool. I had already subscribed to Wayne's and seen Xtagu's every now and again. I only saw he played it last weekend after pushing the button so a hasty addition to the bottom of the document.
