Could it be..... Archie from DDD? Is that you?

Oh and



Absolutely not. HTWWW is good, but to even compare it to At Fillmore East let alone Live at Leeds is just absurd, both of those albums sh*t on HTWWW like crazy. I prefer Zeppelin to The Who and certainly to the Allman Bros, but I'm not blind from the truth. Zep are better than The Who in the studio, but live it's no comparison, it has to be The Who.
Who is Archie? And what is DDD?

More importantly, have you heard the entirety of How The West Was Won? Could you hear the unbridled emotion of Plant's vocals in "Since I've Been Loving You" or the perfect guitar of Jimmy Page in "Black Dog"? Or, perhaps you skipped over the seventeen minute drum opus in "Moby ****"? Somehow, I don't think you heard the harmonies in "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp."

Maybe the album wasn't an accurate reflection of their overall stage abilities. After all, I've never seen them live. I'm betting you haven't either. But from what I've seen from videos, Led Zeppelin were certainly excellent performers. And I'm sorry that I don't share your respect for guitar smashing.
