Some highlights of the show, was the awe-inspiring drum solo of Powell Randolph during Moby Dick, or ear screeching guitar work of George Cintron. The audience was more than willing to oblige to crowd participation, shouting out lyrics and aaaahhhs at the top of their lungs. Needless to say Jackson worked the crowd, leading up to a standing ovation at the end. Yes, unlike a real hard rock concert, this was better enjoyed from the comforts of your seat. I don't have an actual recording of last night's performance, as it turns out the Delaware Symphony frowns on this. Here's a clip from a show in Florida:

Delaware Symphony Covers Led Zeppelin
It's a show that's well traveled, conducted by Brent Havens, accompanied with vocals by Randy Jackson, who although sounded great, looked like a washed up rocker from the 1980's. And frankly that make sense, his claim to fame was "Zebra" released in 1983, that according to his biography sold 75,000 copies in the first week. I only mention him, due to the long crazy hair, slight bald spot and fashion sense that would have been better left in a closet. Looks aside this tight Zeppelin cover band combined the classic favorites with newly written scores fit for an orchestra.
