For its part, Train rocked its audience, into a stupor. Throughout its 80-minute set, the band had a hard time engaging a crowd that was not much larger than what an early-afternoon performer would get at Virgin Mobile FreeFest and that seemed far more interested in its beer mugs. Despite trying his hardest, Pat Monahan had to instead resort to doing covers, passing out T-shirts, and taking pictures of himself with fans’ cameras. Before its last two songs, the biggest cheers had been a Zeppelin song, and a shockingly incongruous “Umbrella,” the Rihanna blockbuster.

Jimmy Page & the Black Crowes Live at the Greek (TVT 2140) There was a time when any garage band worth its salt knew at least a couple Led Zeppelin songs - if not an entire album's worth. It wasn't just that Zeppelin was, in its prime, one of the most popular bands in the world, or that Zep's guitar, bass and drums lineup put the group's repertoire within reach of garage-band instrumentation. Led Zeppelin cranked out some of the most memorable riffs in heavy rock, and any band capable of covering "Whole Lotta Love," "The Lemon Song" or "Sick Again" was allowed - if only for a moment - to share in that glory.

She sang at Carnegie Hall in 1962, and was the vocalist that year for the International Western Festival at the Seattle World's Fair.Edna Deane, 90, the world champion ballroom dancer famous for being the girl "who's danced with the prince of Wales," died Wednesday in London.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. / / Little is permanent here, but much is reused. That point will be made -- with a loud ka-raaaang -- this month with the launching of Hard Rock Park. The Southeast's first new amusement park in nine years opened Tuesday on the long-dormant Fantasy Harbor entertainment complex and partly on the rubble of the failed Waccamaw Factory Shoppes. Hard Rock Park opened with 55 acres of rides, eateries and shops on a 140-acre site about half the size of Carowinds in North Carolina or Tennessee's Dollywood.

The singer unleashes a cry ferocious enough to lead soldiers into war. The guitarist squeezes out a solo so tight it could wring his instrument's neck. And the drums bear down like a 10-ton truck ready to flatten anybody who can't keep up the violent pace. Welcome to the blood sport that was live Led Zeppelin in its prime. On Tuesday, the world will get a lengthy reminder of the band's power when its surviving members release the mother of all concert packages. Covering the full history of Zeppelin's flight, the project features eight hours of previously unheard live material: five hours on a state-of-the-art DVD (called, funnily enough, Led Zeppelin DVD)

On the web * A genealogy Web site is launching what it's billing as the world's largest online collection of Jewish family history records. Ancestry.com has partnered with two organizations for the project - JewishGen, an affiliate of New York's Museum of Jewish Heritage, and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, an overseas humanitarian aid organization. The online collection, which was announced last week, features millions of historic Jewish records including Oskar Schindler's list - the names of almost 2,000 Jews saved by a German businessman who employed them.

EUROPE'S AIRBUS has unveiled plans for the world's largest passenger jet, a behemoth that will carry 656 passengers and feature sleeping areas and other extras aimed at making long-haul flights more enjoyable. Too good to be true? Perhaps. Airbus will need $12 billion to get the project flying. That may not be easy, considering that the company is about to be privatized. The French, German and British governments currently play a big role in its operation. Airbus planes, which are completed from parts manufactured in several European countries, have always been subject to political haggling.

The press agent in London was getting the same question all day: Which finger was it? The digit in question belonged to Jimmy Page, guitar magus of Led Zeppelin. And according to a statement issued Thursday afternoon, it had been fractured the previous weekend, forcing the group to delay its megaticket reunion concert in London by two weeks, to Dec. 10. "Led Zeppelin have always set very high standards for ourselves," Page said in the statement, "and we feel that this postponement will enable my injury to properly heal, and permit us to perform at the level that both the band and our fans have always been accustomed to."

New York -- Awards shows are usually stuffy, star-studded events at which everything said sounds as if it came straight off the TelePrompTer. They're predictable, monotonous and stupifyingly dull.Fortunately, the 10th Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Dinner is nothing like an awards show.Sure, speeches are made and statues change hands, but where that's usually the end of awards shows, that's only the beginning for the Hall of Fame. For one thing, most of the inductees and many of the inductors come ready to play -- meaning that this year's crowd got to hear first-rate performances by everyone from the Allman Brothers Band to Al Green (on his own and with Willie Nelson)
