Close your eyes. Listen to Get the Led Out and Zeppelin side-by-side. See if you can tell the difference. From the bombastic and epic, to the folky and mystical, Get The Led Out (GTLO) captures the musical essence of Led Zeppelin and brings it to the concert stage. The Philly-based group consists of six veteran musicians intent on delivering Led Zeppelin live like you’ve never heard before. Using the multi-instrumentalists at their disposal, GTLO re-creates the songs in all their depth and glory with the studio overdubs that Zeppelin themselves never performed. When you hear three guitars on the album…GTLO delivers three guitarists on stage with heart-thumping intensity that sounds just like the iconic artists.

One thing: Get the Led Out has sold out every RiverEdge concert for the past 10 years. Get your tickets now if you wanna be there.

Now these one-time street buskers return to their home-away-from-home at RiverEdge Park to kick off their 40th Anniversary Celebration of life, love and music.
