Eight Gigs: Sacramento Philharmonic Plays Led Zeppelin
Sun., Sep. 18, 7 p.m., Bonney Field, $34.95-$84.95
Led Zeppelin set the bar exceedingly high with its self-titled release in 1969. And while the band didn’t officially explode until Led Zeppelin IV, die-hard fans across the globe already knew what a nasty brew of blues, rock and folk fare these four lads were capable of concocting. This event pairs the music with the Sacramento Philharmonic in what could be the audio equivalent of nirvana to Zeppelin fans. Sure, classical may put some folks to sleep and others into a deep coma, but rest assured, this ensemble features some uber-talented players. 1600 Exposition Boulevard, www.sacphilopera.org.
