From the moment the singer hit the first note, I knew Van Zeppelin was going to rock and roll. The crowd was electric and it was an unforgettable sing-along. It was so nice to see people of all ages come together and share the same love for music. Lead singer Alec Smith’s voice had an uncanny resemblance to Robert Plant’s especially in the song “Black Dog”. In all honesty, this is probably the closest you’ll ever be to an authentic Led Zeppelin concert. 

Onto Daft Floyd, the band of the hour! They brought all the energy to this stage and the crowd was matching it. This was a beautiful tribute to both Daft Punk and Pink Floyd. It was a mix of club music and music that makes you want to sit in your room and stare at the wall, and somehow they blended together perfectly.
