Venue: Melkweg, Amsterdam (Netherlands)

Led zeppelin is quite a legendary band. As it comes to bands like Led Zeppelin, every country counts many cover bands created by devoted fans. But who expects that such a cover band grows out to a big hit, with a tour through many countries.
I was the last person expecting to see a completely filled Melkweg venue in Amsterdam for Letz zep.

Those who never heard of Led Zeppelin, must have lived under a stone for the past 40 years. The band started in 1968 and since that year they sold over 250 million albums. The band is not really that active nowadays, but they did release an album in 2007 called “Mothership”.

Letz zep is one of Europe most known Led Zeppelin cover bands. The chance of seeing Led Zeppelin live is really small. Even if they would perform, there would be such a big run on the tickets, that it would be very hard to get one. Seeing Letz zep is an excellent replacement. During their show you get the feeling that it is actually Robert Plant singing and Jimmy page who shows his guitar skills. Their show is classic and full of passion, but not over active. Just the ambiance you really want to feel.
The audience enjoys it like their dream come true, I think some of them might forgot for a few moments that they were actually seeing a cover band.
That’s a thing that Letz zep can give to many Led Zeppelin fans. Let their dreams be reality for a short period.
If you want to experience the Letz Zep experience yourself, take a look at their tour schedule; they have a long list with gigs scheduled!
