Zofo A La DSO

By GEOFF JOHNSTON

Published on January 03, 2008

Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones performed at a benefit tribute concert in London last month, reuniting Led Zeppelin after almost 30 years of dormancy as a group (if you don't count a short set during their 1995 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame). Well, they'll have to do better than that to upstage the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, who will present "The Music of Led Zeppelin" 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Meyerson Symphony Center, 2301 Flora St. The DSO is pulling out all the classic rock stops, complete with a program of Zep's greatest hits, dazzling visual effects and what their press release calls "colorful lighting." Technically, a Lite-Brite could be considered "colorful lighting," but we're guessing they’ve got more in store. Tickets run from $38 to $90. Call 214-692-0203 or visit dallassymphony.com.
