I saw them at Berkeley (in the ballroom at the Student Center) in about 1991 or so. The show was fantastic and easily one of my top five shows ever.

These guys did mashups before the internet made up the word mashup. And, well, before there was an internet as people today know it.

Ha! no Dred Zeppelin but I got the BDP card!
Came to the thread to say DZ was in regular rotation on Vanderbilt student radio, Nashville’s 90.1fm WRVU (may it rest in peace.)
I see i’m in good company, here : )

Dread Zeppelin is one of the best live performances I’ve seen. Easily in my top three shows.

I was a personal friend of their bassist, Joe Ramsey, a.k.a. Jah Paul Joe. His passing a few years ago
still hurts. He was also the founder of a great FB page, the UNHoF, dedicated to artists who should be in the Roack and Roll hall of fame, but aren’t. He was an ardent ELO fan, and I wish to GOD that Joe had lived to see the day they were finally inducted. RIP Joe.

My brother and I went to see almost every Bay Area appearance from 1995-2005. Amazing live shows and super nice folks. I’ve got a box of paraphenelia gleaned from what they’d toss into the audience. So many playing cards, poker chips, a petrified Hostess Ding Dong, and one pair of Butt Boy’s boxers (not thrown, but given to me upon request…albeit with one of the odder looks I’ve ever gotten).
