Whole Lotta Love Review

Written by Christie Eliezer | 06 October 2010

Led Zeppelin celebration

Palais Theatre, Friday October 1, 2010

“You don’t know what a joy it is to sing these songs,” Dave Gleeson of the Screaming Jets told the crowd midway through “Whole Lotta Love”. That was obvious in the way he leaped, ran around the stage and swirled his butt at the audience. He was one of the night’s singers brought together by Sydney guitarist and music director Joseph Calderazzo of CCEntertainment.

Tonight was not a by-numbers gallop through the Zep songbook. Rather it was a celebration which reassembled the songs respectfully and captured the spirit that originally drove the music. The hammering riffs of “Rock and Roll”, “The Ocean”, “Black Dog” and “Immigrant Song” kept purists happy. But the others threw in Zep’s palette of Middle Eastern, blues and celtic that transcended a music created by four white males. “Battle of Evermore” took on Eastern tinges and “Four Sticks” a blistering blues workout, that highlighted the light/shade of Zep music.

So the roll-out of singers wasn’t confined to males Gleeson, John Swan, Dave Larkin, Steve Balbi of Noiseworks and Simon Meli of Sydney’s The Widowbirds. Adelaide’s Zkye Compson-Harris and Ngaiire, ex of Blue King Brown, put in thunderous performances, while keys player Charmaine Ford, who shone on synths and piano on “No Quarter”, took turns on guitar and percussion.

The most magnificent moments came when the ensemble, joined by the Sydney Lyric Strings, stretched to 15 minutes utterly glorious “Stairway To Heaven”, “Rain Song” (with such wonderful guitar interplay by Calderazzo and Peter Northcote that at the end they shook hands), “Moby Dick”, with a drum solo from Gordon Rytmeister, and the peak with “Kashmir” where you could see the red sands. The night finished with the entire ensemble on “Whole Lotta Love” to a standing ovation.

This show was the first foray to Melbourne by CCEntertainment which has been holding such celebrations of Eagles, Stones, Beatles etc in NSW and ACT. Given the crowd reaction to “Whole Lotta Love”, we should see more of theses in Australia’s most musical city.

‘WHOLE LOTTA LOVE’ Enmore Theatre 16/09/10

Tonight, we were gathered together for what was being dubbed a Led Zeppelin encomium, or "formal expression of praise", which proved just as diverse and surprising as many of those songs were when they first appeared on the nine studio albums the band released in the 12 years they were together.

Another surprise proved to be one of the most impressive interpreters, Zkye Compson-Harris channelling the voice of Robert Plant with an elegant ease that blew everyone away, particularly on her first performance, the slow blues Since I've Been Loving You.

That's not to say the male singers that came before Danny Marx Young, Ooh La La's Simon Meli, Dave Gleeson and Steve Balbi didn't deliver their songs with an equal passion and flair; it was just Compson-Harris came closest to Plant's tone, at least in the first half of the program.

She was followed by an equally surprising performer, the pint-sized powerhouse Ngaiire who, together with Compson-Harris and keyboards player Charmaine Ford, proved that while this extraordinary repertoire might have created by four white anglos-Saxon males, music of calibre, delivered with power and passion, recognises no gender.

Among the other singers who strutted the stage tonight, it was interesting to see how the younger ones Young and Meli delivered their particular contributions with a certain ardent respect, while the more mature group Gleeson, Balbi and the under-utilised John Swan, were more casual, playing with the expected stereotype of the male hard rocker. Gleeson ran around with his usual cheeky energy, while Swan looked on when he wasn't singing, like the genial father figure proud of his musical progeny. Balbi was gloriously iconoclastic, teasing out the clichés and then subverting them, letting the band take over for some extended soloing in Kashmir.

The band was truly impressive, even if it took two guitarists to deliver what Jimmy Page used to, at least live, deliver alone. Joseph Calderazzo was the guitarist most obviously in tune with Page, reproducing both acoustic and electric solos with astonishing accuracy, while Peter Northcote allowed more of his own dazzling personality to filter into his interpretations.

Everyone had fun and the punters left happy, having got their Zep fix for another year. In the end of course, it was just a cover band with some guest vocalists, but it was all delivered with such obvious reverence for the band and its musical legacy, with a professionalism to match anything in this vein being presented anywhere in the world, that to diminish the event would be churlish. A job well done.
