Michael White and the White perform a whole album
A good time was had by the sparse crowd at club 279 last night where we watched Michael White and the White perform the 10th of the Led Zeppelin Discography series.
We were treated to the entire album, and after that, a blistering blewsy set of material from I II and Iv. I’ve been seing this series as done by The white since they performed III. I missed II because of work commitments and caught I when they re-performed it on Michael’s birthday.
If any of our readers are in the Toronto area or in some of the other toured zones, I’d check the site out and see about enjoying an evening of this classic and brilliantly performed material.

I liked the smaller Crowd as 279 when configured for The White is a standing only sort of arrangement and I’d rather not be that close to most people.
We had the usual suspects tonight, James was not there, a guy who looks like a tall Ozzy Ozbourne, but “stairway,” was. I don’t know her name but she’s an older but by no means ancient lady who really gets in to the music, and always can be seen dancing by the stage whenever the song that gave her the nickname is performed.
There was also Me Yvonne and Dale. A lot of others were regulars that Yvonne recognized to look at but not to speak to. Stairway came by and gave Yvonne some tissues to help her ears along as she had forgotten her earplugs and we were front-centre.
We had beers, we had laughs and we heckled Steve the Guitarist.
It began or all came out in The middle of one of Kelly’s drum solos. He was pounding away like the mad feend we know and love him for when steve takes off for the shitter.
Well the drum solo ends…. No steve.
It’s fun to pull the chain of those you work with, I’m good at this, and so was Mike.
“alright, we’re going to get a chant going, we’re all going to start chanting…. Share your coke! Chare your coke! Share your coke!,”
We loved it. I hope that steve was good and that all that was needed was the fresh beer in his hand and to perhaps release the brown bowl serpent, but he came back and we rocked out the rest of the evening.
Derek, however did not.
Dereck is one of Dale’s friends, and since The White was very generous and has permitted fans free tickets for the next show he had come with dale to see “in through the Outdoor,”
Any way to make a long story longer, these ladies start dancing on stage… they’re on the do there thing, jiggle some jello, and depart.
Mr. Dereck has to do it to, and show his stuff…. Well here he goes… up on stage, tapped by securety and escorted off.
What a knob, he waits till the last song, but he gets his ass kicked out of there, just to impress a couple of pieces of ass. Guy’ll learn…
After 3 beers, and the final tune had been played, it was time to break the seal, and have me a squirt. After unleashing old one-eye, we went outside to find Dale and Dereck waiting.
“what happened to you?,”
Yvonne incquired.
“Well I want to show the chicks how it was really done, and the security guy asked me to leave.I asked they guy why the girls did it without being kicked out, and he told me it’s because they had tits.”
That got a laugh, maybe he won’t get afflicted with strutting pecock syndrome again.
Well excuse the bad pun, to finish things up for this morning’s written contribution, a good time was had by all and for the price it was one hell of a show!
