Per The national's web site, Zoso will play the entire houses of the Holy album Saturday night.

Thats interesting but basically the only two tunes on that album that aren't on the regular set list are The Crunge and Dancing Days. Makes for good marketing and always happy to see them expand on the set list although it would be really neat to see them make a real stretch with something like Achilles' Last Stand (just what John needs another song that was originally multi tracked with six guitar layers on the album...smiles).

Oh and hi to everyone by the way. Havent posted in a bit

The local classic rock station is running promos and giving away tickets. It's great to hear promotion for the show.

alright, WHAT A SHOW!!!! i had the best time, i've never had a bad time at a Zoso show. i took some new people with me and as i've said before, they were blown away. it was my brother's birthday, he even worked it out to be off of work and go again, this was his third show. we had such a great time. they played excellent as usual and really had it dead on. after the show i hung around for a few and got to shake hands with the band when they came back on stage. well i guess i'll have to wait till the next show, hope it's not to far away. just want you guys to know how glad we are to have you come to Richmond,Va. please don't stop making it up this way. looking forward to the next show!!!!

Guys, I gotta tell you that I've seen you eight times in Richmond, and I never miss your awesome Zep show. I'm the one who referred you to play at The National when it opened ... you were playing at The Canal Club at that time. I knew Zoso would freakin' explode with the great sound system and accoustics at The National, and I was right (I used to be a musician but could never play Page like John!). When I start itchin' to see Zoso again, I check the tour dates. Don't see Richmond on your list yet, but I'm sure you'll be back. We LOVE you guys here!

BTW, I see you're playing at the Landis Theater in Vineland, NJ. That's my old stompin' grounds, so I emailed all my goombahs back in Joisey about the show, and I know they'll be there with their friends. Led Zep is bigger than God himself around the Philly area! They'll finally have something to talk about after seeing you play. Give 'em hell, bro's!!

I won't go on and on again. You guys rocked the National!!!!! Glad to have you back again, I did miss you last time you came to Richmond. I was racing out of town so I couldn't be there. You guys did a great job, awesome show. I know you had some sound problems with the equipment but it didn't change a thing, you Kicked A$$!!! Waiting for your return to Richmond! Also wanted to say the opening bands did a great job too. The second band was very good and I'd like to see them return when you come back, thanks for a great show!!!!!

Another great show and a PACKED house. Something tells me ZoSo is rather popular in Richmond. Loved that way all the Led Heads were instantly bonding; total strangers suddenly brought together for the first ZoSo show of the new year in Virginia. Three friends were with me, only one had seen ZoSo before, so you can add a couple more new ZoSo fans to the ever-growing list. One had a huge crush on Matt by the end of the show.

(Its that manly chest peeking out from behind the loose shirt, for sure!)

There were a few technical difficulties early on. John raised his hands in a "What the @#$% is going on?" gesture at the beginning of NO QUARTER.

A few seconds later he was on the floor with a flashlight, lying next to an amp. It happened again at least two more times. The crowd stayed pretty patient during these lulls. Matt passed the time by bantering with someone WAY UP in the balcony, a sea of heads all turning to look up there at the same time. Who dat?

The alluring aroma of a certain illegal substance went wafting through the crowd at one point, adding to the ambiance of it all (you don't get much of that anymore these days). Suddenly it really was 1975 all over again.

Matt made a booboo just before STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN when he said, "This one is from the third album..." D'oh! Fourth, Matt. You know the one... it's nicked-named "ZoSo"!

This is 2 Central VA shows in a row with technical difficulties. Hopefully the third time is the charm. Still a great show and, I agree, the opening acts were very good.

I wouldn't know anything about that, well almost nothing....I'll say no more about that?????? I had such a good time and my wife and our friends as well. A friend of mine turned me on to Zoso many years back and unless something big happens I alway go to the shows. I am surprized how many people didn't know about the show, a couple of people a talked to were unhappy they missed it when I talked about it ALL day Sunday while nursing a hangover. I have to say that I have been listing to Led Zeppelin all my life and I know I have heard every song a couple million times but I'll never get enough of all the great songs. Zoso does what I never thought could be done which is bring Led Zeppelin to Richmond, well it's as close as it gets. I would not even want to think about them not coming to Richmond, I HAVE to see them several times a year or I'll die.

--"I would not even want to think about them not coming to Richmond, I HAVE to see them several times a year or I'll die"--

I know the feeling. I've seen ZoSo a whopping SEVEN times in less than a year and a half. That's what I love about them. They are ALWAYS coming around to the mid-Atlantic states quite frequently, yet they seem to cover the whole country. I don't know how they keep such a demanding schedule. They are flying somewhere every single weekend for two, sometimes three performances. Their frequent flyer miles must be through the roof. Nice work if you can get it!
