For the "Burning Shark" idiot
Nothing more to say; here, the music does all the talking. The music here is classic Great White, as only Great White has the balls (or the talent) to cover the majority of these songs, without a straggling member of Led Zep present.

As for the cover art, it is a classic play on Led Zeppelin I, where the Hindenburg is seen striking the aerial tower, igniting into a ball of flame. Since this is Great White covering Led Zeppelin, it is a clear mixture of a great white shark, combusting the same as the lead zeppelin aircraft did. . . idiot!

Study your history, and your classic albums.


Disc one is Amazing !
Even though those tracks aren't here, I still can't get enough of this Zeppelin tribute from a great band in their own right. Disc one gets the led out in a big way even though such classics as Black Dog, The Ocean, Misty Mountain Hop and Rock N' Roll are missing. Basically, disc one is amazing.

Disc two, I could have gone forever and never missed hearing this. The song selection is odd and the band doesn't seem to be putting their own signature on any of these tracks. That approach is fine if you're covering Led Zeppelin. But, when you are determined to bring to light an entire batch of material that isn't as strong as what is found on disc one, then it really disappoints.


Not A Bad Collection
That is bollocks. In a previous review of this album, a reviewer claimed the album cover features a burning shark. I have the cd, and the cover isn't anything special. Just a shark in the water.
The music is great. They did a good tribute to Zeppelin as well as many other bands on the second disc. This is essentially two Great White releases packaged together. The first being Great White's live tribute to Zeppelin titled "Great Zeppelin". The second disc is their covers cd called "Recover".
For the price, you can't beat it.

Good songs, bad package.
The band, and those who lost their lives in Rhode Island deserve better. Great White is a great rock n'roll band and their covers of Zep and others ARE worth checking out, but these tracks are available on two seperate discs already making this release needless, as well as in bad taste with the cover (which Amazon says is not an available image), and questionable. There are other questionable releases the band is fighting against, so check out their official website before purchasing anything.


Well worth it for a great bunch of covers
The First disc is a live concert of all Led Zeppeiln material recorded in 1996. There is no orignial tracks from Great White on this 2 disc set, but it is probably the best covers cd around. The sound is incredable! Some tracks are better than the the mighty Zep themselves. The conclussion is much of the same with cuts that cover The Cult, Bob Dylan, Badfinger, Bad Company, and much more. I love this collection because of the variety of the music and it is all done by one great band(no pun) .
