by Joseph Terrazas Their Unleaded Tour (Unleaded, Meaning they didn’t bother bringing long time Bassist, John Paul Jones??? ) Early into the show Page seemed to be content to play second fiddle to Plant as he set the direction early on, until Page broke loose with Heartbreaker, then solo after solo.

By Jeff Kent When I went away to college in New Hampshire the fall of 1989 I was a diehard Metal fan, but college is a time for trying new things so I went to see a local band called Phish at the suggestion of a friend. I think I paid $3 or $4 for [...]
