SO: WHAT DO YOU BUY FIRST?

Doesn't everybody who wanted all this already have it? If you didn't buy the box set, you ripped someone else's. Much ado about nothing. Now, The Beatles will be another issue.

I think the answer to this question is "the box set." (If you don't already have it, Second Spin usually has a copy or two.)

Which you then rip and place onto your music player of choice, unencumbered by any pesky DRM schemes.

I already own all of their studio stuff on CD and Vinyl. I also have bootleg versions of all three of their Tampa concerts ('70, '73, '77). But I must say, I did immediately purchase a ringback tone from Verizon Wireless, as Zeppelin signed an exclusive deal with them. So now, when you call me, you get the guitar solo to Stairway!

And Zoso is pretty good. They have the look down. Musically, I liked local band "The Crunge" better. But they disbanded because their guitar player left to join Basic Rock Outfit.

I gotta hit that Zoso show with you sometime. And I wanna rock that Largo Cultural Center parking lot.

Well since I already own all of them on CD, and "imported" them to my 20 gigger the first night I bought the thing home from at Sam's Club, the answewer to your querry is "none." Do I need to pay .99 cents a song just to download it from itunes?
PS: Zoso is coming to town again. They actually sound more like Zeppelin than Zeppelin.
