Led tribute band coming to Huntington

Great bands are sometimes so iconic that other bands form to pay tribute to them. Huntington's Paramount Theatre has an entire series of these groups scheduled, and one of the best is on the way.

Get the Led Out (GTLO) is obviously a tribute to Led Zeppelin, but has also garnered a strong following on its own. They concentrated on the music LZ recorded, rather than their live performances, and bring that catalog to the stage. GTLO is based in Philadelphia, and is comprised of six talented performers, all of whom play multiple instruments, whose mission is to present the work of Led Zeppelin live.

GTLO uses the albums as their guide, recreating the songs as heard in the recordings, even if LZ themselves never played them on stage. If there are three guitars used on the recording, GTLO puts three guitarists on the stage. The group doesn't try to emulate the appearance of the original band—no British accents or long wigs—but instead concentrates on the music.

Reviews of GTLO seems to rave as if they were the original group:



“It was an amazing show, to say the least. Showing my age.......I've seen the "real" band twice, and these guys NAILED it!”




Get the Led Out will be at the Paramount for two performances, June 26 and June 27. The shows are both at 8.00 pm, and the doors will open at 6.30 pm on both days. Poster printing can provide attractive advertisements when events like this are coming up.
