According to guest conductor Brent Havens, the evening is filled with brass kickin&#8217; surprises such as his special interpretation and rendition of Zep&#8217;s Immigrant Song: &#8221; We come from the land of the ice and snow,\u00a0 From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.&#8221; Havens has\u00a0violins doing that &#8216;Ah-ah-ah part,&#8217; up an octave from Jackson (who &#8216;plays&#8217; Robert Plant,) \u00a0and the French Horns are doing it with him in the same register. \u00a0Reproducing what Led Zeppelin did on the albums, verbatim, and then having an orchestra behind the band gives the music a richness\u00a0and\u00a0a different sense of power. Havens feels\u00a0the music&#8217;s\u00a0intricate rhythm patterns and unusual progressions contained within straight-forward rock n&#8217; roll makes it an ideal choice for scoring. The 2-plus hour concert is just the beginning of a\u00a0crowd-pleasing season!
