    The tears came. I couldn't help it. Alex Lifeson playing one of the most iconic solos in rock. It's great to hear him play live again. He was hanging around the back of the stage, just like any of the other members of the band. A modest giant of rock, still doing it.

      Same here brother, I saw Rush for the first time 10Mar78 in Boston,MA.
      This brought chills down my spine and made my eyes well up with joy and euphoria!!
      Long live Alex & Geddy & R.I.P. Neil🙏❤️

      @@siddokis2945 they chose not to duplicate them live. A full 1/3 of a zeppelin show was improvised on the spot every show. A song could be super heavy one night and jazz like the next. They were so amazingly good they could take any song anywhere the felt like going. It’s called prodigy level abilities combined with the most fearless attitude in rock history. Any one can duplicate exactly what they did on an album. Led Zeppelin is simply the greatest live band to ever exist. No one took chances live that they did. They played on the edge of failure and never did. Some call it sloppy others see a band pushing themselves beyond physical capabilities A band that regularly played 4 hr shows. A band that left everything they had on stage every night. They played every show like it was there last. I suggest listening to How the West was won and realize it’s mostly made up never to be duplicated again. If you can physically withstand listening to an entire Zeppelin concert you should find new understanding. The greatest band to ever exist. No and, if or buts about it
