Description: |
Get The Led Out - What Is And What Should Never Be: History of GtLO at the Paramount Huntington. Doors open at 7:00PM.
Get The Led Out was formed in 2003 when a couple of Philadelphia area musicians contacted Paul Sinclair about singing in a Led Zeppelin project they were trying to get off the ground. Sinclair, who had spent the majority of his musical career performing in his own original band Sinclair had reservations about joining a tribute act. I had no interest in going the impersonator route says Sinclair. I have always found it a bit hokey. I was much more intrigued by the thought of playing this music that I loved so much, and playing it accurately. With all the instrumentation.
Enter guitarist Paul Hammond who shared a musical partnership with Sinclair that dated back to their teen years. Together they wrote songs released albums and earned their rock and roll wings on the East Coast club scene. It was only natural that Sinclair would recruit Hammond for the latest rock journey. I knew Paul (Hammond) would add the stability and musical chops needed to pull this off Sinclair explains. Besides guitar, he plays many other stringed-instruments and even played keyboards in an early incarnation of the band.
Sinclair's vision of performing on stage as themselves and doing the studio versions of the Zep catalog was not a popular concept with other early members in the band. In the beginning, some of the guys wanted to do the look-a-like thing. Akin to a version of the movie The Song Remains The Same. Those guys have since moved on to other things, says Sinclair.
