Interesting. I've seen them live more than once as well, once in a pretty small venue. I never got that impression. Seemed pretty "real" to me, but what do I know. On a side note, they just played a couple of our Tribal casinos here in Washington. My, how the mighty have fallen... reminds me of Spinal Tap...

Reminds me of a story as well. When Led Zeppelin released the album with Achille's Last Stand on it, Peter Townsend approached them offering to play second guitar on their upcoming tour. He was sure that Jimmy Page could never play that song live all by himself. Well, he did. I watched him do it. Astonishing, really. I don't think they ever over dubbed anything, but I could be wrong. I'd rather listen and enjoy than worry about things like that.
