Had a wonderful B'Day celebration -- quiet.
Last night we went out to the Mt. Baker Theater to see the Classic Albums Live presentation of Led Zeppelin II.
This was a recreation of Led Zeppelin's second album, note for note, track for track. Absolutely amazing -- really good musicians and they nailed the sound. Played the 40 minutes or so of the album, took a twenty-minute break and then proceeded to rock for another two hours with four encores. All Led Zeppelin songs. The musicianship of the band was top-notch.
Classic Albums Live is out of Canada and they have been doing this for the last eight years -- they take a bunch of good musicians, dissect a classic rock album and work out how to recreate the sound on stage with no computers or recordings. It is all live.
Other tours include Fleetwood Mac - Rumours, Best of Woodstock, The Beatles - White Album; Let it Be; Help and Hard Days Night (these are separate events); Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here; The Last Waltz to just name a few. Definitely worth seeing if they perform within a 300 mile radius...
Grace (the new puppy) has a bit of an upset stomach so I'm cooking up a batch of bland dogfood (rice, lentils, cottage cheese, hamburger, nutritional yeast and amino acids/tamari) and will transition her to a BARF diet for a while -- she is growing at a fast rate (couple inches longer than when I got her a week ago) so proper nutrition is crucial at this stage of her life.
