The band, singer and Virginia Symphony combined to make Led Zeppelin an amazing experience. This is a must see for Led Zeppelin fans.
I gave my 17 year old son tickets for his 18th birthday. We had a great time. My son is musically inclined, (I can't carry a tune in a bucket) we are both classic rock fans, neither one of us has had much exposure to Classical Music. From the opening number to the closing we were enthralled. The music was captivating and original. The show was very entertaining and exciting. We both have a greater appreciation for the symphony, thank you.
I am a regular ticket holder for the VSO and to see and hear them play Led Zepplin was absolutely fabulous - got to see a different side to the VSO! I would recommend that anyone who enjoys the music of Led Zepplin to see this show - you won't regret it! In fact, the next time it comes in to town, I'm rounding up all of my friends and we'll see it again!!
I really enjoyed the Music of Led Zepplin with the Virginia Symphony. The lead singer from Zebra sounds very similar to Robert Plant. The Virginia Symphony is astonishing and it is awesome to see them enjoy playing the music. I have seen this concert before when they played at the Chrysler Hall. I believe I would have enjoyed it better if it was at Chrysler Hall or an enclosed venue due to the acoustics but I still appreciated the awesome music that was played by one of my favorites, The Virginia Symphony.
It was a very powerful performance that took you towards a dark mysterious place and then to a new magical fantasy world. I learned to appreciate the music and how talented the performers were it literally took my breath away how the music played back and forth and what to expect.
I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would! Led Zeppelin had so many hits!!! The symphony did a great job with all of the songs, the lead guitarist was awesome, and Randy Jackson sounded very much like Robert Plant! In no way, were we disappointed! I'm very glad we went and highly recommend it!
VSO was wonderful; Randy Jackson terrific; the band together!
This was an exceptional show with combined music and lights, and will be appreciated by the younger crowd. The combination of Rock Band and Symphony was great.
Music was excellent, atmosphere great, need more like this!!
the whole concert was a blast. I got goosebumps hearing the symphony's power! Randy Jackson did a great job covering Led Zepplin.
The singer did a great job with interacting with the crowd and had a great chemistry with the performers in the orchestra. The electric violinest was superb. The performers seemed like they had a great time. But in all honesty, i dont think the conductor does any real work other than just jam out to himself ( opinion) i would hope the drummer and band already know the music and dont need someone to show the peaks and vallies of the song they shouldve at least rehearsed a few times...again thats just my humble opinion the show was spectactular!! Great work
the signer did a really good job. the drummer was great. all the performers did a great job. the performance was outstanding! perfect!
Great performances by both the Symphony and the Rock Band. The Rock Band Drummer was amazing....... The weather even played it's part with the wind blowing the singers hair off his face at the appropriate times during 'The Immigrant Song"..... Those who "shouda and coulda" but didn't, missed out on a really fun show.
The show was awesome ! We had front row seats and had a perfect view. Nevertheless it wouldn't have mattered where you sat because the show was great. Kudos to Randy Jackson's voice and friendly nature. The Va Symphony is top notch ! My girlfriend and I were most impressed with the entire show.
This was my first time going to see the Virginia Symphony Orchestra and it was more than I could imagine!!!! I have never heard an Orchestra sound so amazing!!! And Randy Jackson sounded just like Led Zepplin!!!
Delightful program, beautifully played and conducted with spirit and expertise. Especially enjoyed the oboeist. Sorry the audience count was down, maybe due to predictions of bad weather; funny how the thunder rolled at the right time to add to the music!
Wow, we are lucky to have an orchestra of this quality in this area!
All of the music was breath taking in its beauty and execution but the Beethoven fed my soul . Benedetto Lupo was phenominal.
Poulenc's Gloria was awesome, as expected, but I was also pleasantly surprised by the other works on the program.
The production was outstanding. JoAnn Falletta is incredible as a conductor. I didn't care for the location. It is extremely difficult to have a good seat at St. Bede's because the pulpit is right in the middle of the church with the orchestra behind it. If sound were the only thing under consideration it would be an unbeatable performance. Would like to be able to see the conductor and all of the orchestra but you have to choose one or the other since something will always be blocked.
