For three nights, funk band Pigeons Playing Ping Pong donned a “Dead Zeppelin” musical theme for Halloween. The band covered a number of tunes from both Led Zeppelin and The Grateful Dead for the occasion, keeping things exciting with crazy mash-ups and segues.
One particular highlight was an extended version of the band’s song “Horizon”, which was interwoven with versions of “Eyes Of The World”, “Fool In The Rain” and “D’yer Mak’er”. Now, thanks to the band and Super Chill Production, we have pro-shot video of this exceptional jam:
The band has also made their entire 10/30 performance at the 9:30 Club in DC available on Archive.org. That can be streamed below:
