Led Zeppelin in New West? Well, almost

Led Zepagain takes to the stage at Massey Theatre May 4
Led Zepagain
David "Swan" Montgomery takes the Robert Plant role in Led Zepagain, a tribute band to Led Zeppelin. The band is coming to Massey Theatre for a May 4 show.

They're described as "the most authentic representation of Led Zeppelin in the world today," and they're coming to the Massey Theatre stage next week.

Led Zepagain is on stage Sunday, May 4.

Christian Nesmith - son of Monkees guitarist Michael Nesmith - rocks the lead guitar in the Jimmy Page role.

"From the tender age of 13, driven by seeing Page in the Zeppelin movie The Song Remains The Same, Christian has mastered the sound, the tone and the style that has defined him as the rock hero he is today," a press release says.

He's joined by lead singer David "Swan" Montgomery in the Robert Plant role and multi-instrumentalist Jim Wootten in the shoes of John Paul Jones - playing bass, keyboards, mandolin, acoustic six- and 12-string guitars and backing vocals.

Rounding out the band is Jim Jersey in the role of drummer John "Bonzo" Bonham.

The press release notes that Jimmy Page himself attended a Led Zepagain show at the House of Blues in L.A. back in 2004.

He was reportedly moved to say, "It's amazing how much you sound like us. You must have grown up on this because you were inside the music, and you paid attention to detail in your presentation."

Are they really that close to the real deal?
