下半场几近完美的，然而Encore实在就有点遗憾了。原本观众中就不乏附庸风雅的非爵士乐迷，加上演出不是周末，因此一贯生活节奏快的香港人基本比乐队退场速度还快，毫无全场热情挽留的景观。只是剩下了差不多1/4的观众不停的鼓掌喝彩（很遗憾这次全场的鼓掌节奏也没能和以往jazz演出一样整齐一致），终究5位尊神返场一首"It's About That Time"。然而此曲作罢，五通神在我等膜拜中谢幕退场后，观众基本就心满意足的退场了，贪婪的我却还心有不甘，那次Chick Corea Elektric Band的伊馆演出可是返场3次啊！！！这样级别的jazz演出或许在英美日本很常见，然而在HK则是几乎10年左右得以一见的，我一个广州的都不急着退场，香港人却如潮而退...

两年后新作"Subway to the Country"中DA对于他作品戏剧性的天才把握进一步证明了他伟大歌手个歌曲作者的才能。然而由于此作是在他之前阴郁的风格上再次浓墨一笔，因此同样无人喝彩。尽管例如专辑中下面"Out on the Road"这首歌激发了Bruce Springsteen，或许还有Steve Earle.

虽然1972年DA的第三张由Bernie Taupin制作的专辑"American Gothic"在公告牌上最好的排名不过是167位，然而在DA乐迷心中，这则是一座丰碑。这张专辑把DA一贯阴郁风格深化为让人窒息的黑暗，然而神奇的注入了温暖迷人的感觉。同样也无疑是民谣和音乐剧的生动戏剧性演绎。在英国媒体中，甚至有的报纸把这张作品称作"The Sgt. Pepper of Folk"，然而30多年过去了，这张作品仍旧只是静静屹立在在DA那批死忠乐迷的心中。

It was raining hard in 'Frisco,
I needed one more fare to make my night.
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down,
She got in at the light.
Oh, where you going to, my lady blue,
It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain.
She just looked out the window, and said
"Sixteen Parkside Lane".
Something about her was familiar
I could swear I'd seen her face before,
But she said, "I'm sure you're mistaken"
And she didn't say anything more.
It took a while, but she looked in the mirror,
And she glanced at the license for my name.
A smile seemed to come to her slowly,
It was a sad smile, just the same.
And she said, "How are you Harry?"
I said, "How are you Sue?
Through the too many miles
and the too little smiles
I still remember you."
It was somewhere in a fairy tale,
I used to take her home in my car.
We learned about love in the back of the Dodge,
The lesson hadn't gone too far.
You see, she was gonna be an actress,
And I was gonna learn to fly.
She took off to find the footlights,
And I took off to find the sky.
Oh, I've got something inside me,
To drive a princess blind.
There's a wild man, wizard,
He's hiding in me, illuminating my mind.
Oh, I've got something inside me,
Not what my life's about,
Cause I've been letting my outside tide me,
Over 'till my time, runs out.
Baby's so high that she's skying,
Yes she's flying, afraid to fall.
I'll tell you why baby's crying,
Cause she's dying, aren't we all.
There was not much more for us to talk about,
Whatever we had once was gone.
So I turned my cab into the driveway,
Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns.
And she said we must get together,
But I knew it'd never be arranged.
And she handed me twenty dollars,
For a two fifty fare, she said
"Harry, keep the change."
Well another man might have been angry,
And another man might have been hurt,
But another man never would have let her go...
I stashed the bill in my shirt.
And she walked away in silence,
It's strange, how you never know,
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for,
Such a long, long time ago.
You see, she was gonna be an actress
And I was gonna learn to fly.
She took off to find the footlights,
And I took off for the sky.
And here, she's acting happy,
Inside her handsome home.
And me, I'm flying in my taxi,
Taking tips, and getting stoned,
I go flying so high, when I'm stoned.
然而MK终究不是原装的RP，就算RP筒子的RP再差，再打着自己的小算盘，他也终究是原装的Zep的歌手，(上次去HK经过Dunhill的店门口，还看到RP西装革履的巨幅画像，英文标着"The God of Rock" )正当我怀疑RP童鞋是否真的忍得住的时候，今天看到了最新的消息，果然RP童鞋看到其他三个人真的打算不带他玩了，自己终于忍不住了吐口要加入乐队了......
ROCK legends LED ZEPPELIN are set for a reunion tour after singer ROBERT PLANT finally caved in and agreed to join them.
Guitarist JIMMY PAGE, 64, bassist JOHN PAUL JONES, 62, and drummer
JASON BONHAM, 42, had resigned themselves to touring without Plant.
They
even rehearsed with stand-in singers - and one American was so
impressive they were confident they could hit the road next year
without Plant.
That was what finally persuaded him to return.
A
source revealed: “The rest of the band had all but given up on Robert
joining them, but they were determined to go ahead so had started to
seriously explore other avenues.
“When Robert realised the band were serious about doing it without him, it made him think long and hard.
“He realised he couldn’t face the thought of not being involved.
“The band were over the moon when he told them the news.
“They are now forging ahead with the tour plans and they can’t wait to get on the road.”
The tour, set for next summer, follows the massive success of their one-off reunion show at London’s O2 Arena in December.
Led
Zep, who have sold more than 300million albums worldwide, formed in
1968 and split up in 1980 when drummer John Bonham - father of Jason
—-died aged 32.
Rolling Stone magazine dubbed them the biggest band of the ’70s. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
