BOS2 The mighty Zep, "Over The Hills And Far Away".

One of my all time Zep favorites -- especially cranked up to 11.
Now I'm eight bits...

this Led Zep clip is endless.  But uber-BOS4 "Over the Hills..."

Did I mis-hear, or did the news reporter say that the Zep crowd in Tampa was the largest crowd assembled anywhere ever (at that time)?  Apparently Woodstock and Watkins Glen (which also happened in '73) did not count.
Let's get right to it.

Probably meant as an individual act, since they beat the Beatles record.

Tower Of Power "What Is Hip?"

Although a FF, a big BOS from me.  This is such a superlative effort that I never grow tired of it.

The Drew Carey Show used it for one of their dance numbers, and it makes a great video for
the song.  Like so much, the clip is on youtube.

VHM American Graffitti.  BOS3 BTO.

Great clip from a great film.  Just saw it again on the tube recently -- it still holds up.  George Lucas COULD direct great movies, a long time ago and far far away.

I agree, it's well done.  I own a copy.

I liked this set a lot and want to cast my BOS to War for a seldom-heard song.

I'd like to credit DC/RR for choosing a great rarity there, but part of me thinks Renee just cued up the wrong track on her "War's Greatest Hits" CD and meant to play "Cisco Kid".  ;)
