So glad I got the DVD too; this is going to be awesome. Congrats on the feature,. glad to see this on the front page.



I loved In My Time here: don't get me wrong, the studio version is amazing, but this version was equally impressive. I thought Nobody's Fault But Mine sounded crazy good with the it all being down tuned. Can't wait to watch this with my dad on his big screen.

"These guys aren't dead yet"

Led Zeppelin never dies.

Curious
Was that song by any chance covered by that Three Days Grace band?
I'm pretty sure in one of their songs the singer says "in my time of dying" and besides that i'm pretty there are some other lines from LZ's version to that one

In My Time of Dying is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs too. Still need to check this out.

He's really done a fantastic job in fitting in with the other members, in fact, there is such a lucid synergy between all four of the musicians in this concert, when can really hear them complimenting each other's vibes and feeding off one another, making their performance feel all the more organic.


The comma before "in fact" should be a period, beginning a new sentence at "In fact..."

"when can really hear" ought to be something like "we can really hear," I think. It's still sort of a muddy sentence even with that. Not really sure what you were going for with that, but you can fix it up.

This is quite possible one of Led Zeppelin's finer live releases, and aside from their BBC Sessions album, Celebration Day is also perhaps their most accessible.


"possible" should be "possibly"

"...live releases, and aside from..."

The comma should be after "and," not before it.

"Black Dog", as well as their more elaborate ones like "No Quarter".


Comma unneeded. Punctuation goes inside quotes (i.e. "No Quarter.")

One of the main highlights of the album is without a doubt "No Quarter", because within this one song alone we experience all of the different sides of Led Zeppelin. Delicate cosmic spaces, abrasive rock sounds, metaphorical tales of fantasy- each component is exquisitely blended into a brew of musical alchemy that is utterly rapturous to the last intoxicating drop.


"without a doubt" should be offset by commas.

Comma goes inside the quotes.

The sentence beginning with "Delicate cosmic spaces" is a fragment because it's a part of a list, but it's not connected to the list it's describing. To fix this, change the period at the end of the preceding sentence to a colon and remove the capitalization.

The dash after "fantasy" should have a space before it as well as after it.

I highly recommend this album to any admirer of Led Zeppelin because from beginning to end, it has something to offer to every loyal fan.


Comma after "because" (offset phrase). This sentence should start a new paragraph. Anything in quotes following should have the punctuation (commas) inside the quotes (currently outside).

Good writing, I'll pos, just grammar.

Live albums typically don't have much added value, but there are some brilliant exceptions.

I see that you went back and edited some of the more glaring things. I'd encourage you to fix the little punctuation things as well (i.e. putting punctuation inside quotes). Though it might seem insignificant, this is something that any English teacher will call you out on, especially when you can present such otherwise colorful imagery. It's convention, learn it and live it and it becomes second nature. Trust me, I used to do the same thing, especially since leaving it outside is the proper convention for programming.

Damn I always thought punctuation was supposed to go outside quotation marks too, the way it does with parentheses.

I use 'song' rather than "song" though, or does it not make a difference?

I always thought that punctuation only goes inside quotations when writing dialogue, or does that apply as well when you're talking about songs?

Yeah that's the thing, it's not a quotation in its usual form, it's just something to highlight song names. Can't use italics because I use them for album names and I won't use bold because it's just ugly.

Sometimes I hate the English language!

It applies whenever you use quotes haha.

Style is one thing, but punctuation has its own sort of universal rules that seem to trump everything.
Quotes and, of course, punctuation at the end of a quote, all fall under the category of punctuation,
so no matter what, you're going to use punctuation inside the quotes.

Convention for song names, on the other hand, is to put them in quotes, which falls under
style, which means that if you really need to (read: you don't) you can defy convention. The
punctuation rules are hard and fast like being hit in the head with a cinder block.
