    Pure unadulterated talent. No computers or auto tune !! These people were exceptional artists in every respect. Fake singers like Taylor Swift can’t hold a candle to this type of talent. She couldn’t sing without Autotune. This was pure musicianship thank God I saw them live 4 or 5 times as a young teenager and college student. They came out one time and sat on stools for almost three hours and just played and sang.

      Another interesting note that most people don't realize when they see/ hear a guitar harmony is that it's not two guitars playing the same part together. It's one guitar playing the melody and the other playing the harmonies of that solo, usually on the third or fifth notes.
      Much more complicated than people think.

      Live too and Led Zeppelin Live with Stairway to Heaven at Madison Square Garden 1973 I believe one is best and some better quality same concert. One by Elvin Bishop's group where Mickey Thomas actually sang lead with Reni Slais.... THEY KILL IT together with Evin on guitar. The New * Fooled Around and Fell in Love "Live" 4K version. It was from 1976 and this one is Ai remastered.... vs others. Some even say it was 77 or 75. The version with Reni with Mickey and PERFECT LIVE.
