Russian fans of rock legends Led Zeppelin did not quite get the real thing but they still got a chance to enjoy their favourite songs as tribute band Boot-Led-Zeppelin rocked Moscow.
The scream from the bottom of the heart hitting the highest note – that's how Boot-Led-Zeppelin band has introduced itself to the Russian crowd.
“We are expecting a good sound, a great performance and we want them to impress us like we were impressed by Led Zeppelin,” said a concert spectator.
This is the first Russian tour of the British tribute band. Russian audiences had never heard them before and therefore didn't know what to expect, though they came with a positive attitude.
The band started out in 1995 when the drummer James Hogg put an ad in the ad-magazine Loot, looking for musicians to form a tribute band to Led Zeppelin.
He immediately found himself a replica ‘Jimmy Page’ but had to wait some time before getting the right ‘Robert Plant’ and ‘John Paul Jones’.
Since then the line-up has overcome many shifts and changeovers, and finally they have formed a perfect combination.
Each of them has a job apart from playing in Boot-Led-Zeppelin but what brings them together is, of course, their love for music.
