Led Zeppelin 2 will kick off their 2012 touring season tonight with the first of two special shows in Chicago. The short run will commence with two consecutive (and SOLD OUT) nights at Chicago's House Of Blues where the band will play a 1971 and 1975 Led Zeppelin sets.
As an extra treat for fans, the band recorded a cover of the Yardbirds' "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" from 1966. It's one of the few Yardbirds tunes to feature both Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck on twin lead guitars as well John Paul Jones on bass. Led Zeppelin never played this song live thus Lamont and his cohorts reworked the track LZ2 style with session bassist Scott Lucas from Local H.
Led Zeppelin 2 will also be performing live on the Mancow Show this morning (January 13, 2012) at 9:00am EST.
