IMO, a very underrated album......

That was a real return to form, some good songs on that album.

Perfect Strangers is my favorite DP song (fun to play too).  Dream Theater's cover of it is really nice as well.

Can never get over how good JPJ looks for someone pushing 70.  Just compare him to Jimmy!  Wow.

Not going to be that many fans on this forum of this kind of stuff, and to be honest this isn't the kind of EDM I usually listen to when I listen to electronic music, but I love this video. Great demonstration of the crossover between DJ and producer, and the skill and musical judgment at work in something which people often just dismiss as punching buttons and twiddling knobs. Anyone who's enjoyed clubbing and/or raving will understand just how much a good DJ can influence your mood, and this guy has it, what an artist. Plus there are some INCREDIBLE fat analog sounds out of that Moog. He looks like he's really enjoying himself. And he looks just like Les out of Vic Reeves Big Night Out. 
 

Personally, I will have to listen to the rest of this once I have 80 minutes to spare (I heard about four minutes before I checked the length!).  This is the kind of electronic music I liked to make for fun when friends came over (I'd give them command of a couple of knobs like "Resonance" and let them twiddle away). 
 
BTW - What IS that clear-looking device he's twiddling knobs on anyway?

Imo  "Come taste the band" is the most underrated album of DP:

I thought Page looks much better now than he did 20 years ago, if only for the fact that he seems at peace with his age. JPJ does rock though - saw him w/ TCV a couple of years ago - amazing!

It looks like some kind of launchpad/controller mounted in a case on a stand. Although I'm certainly no expert at these things...

Agreed, I saw TCV 2009 in Berlin, the whole arena was hypnotized and dancing.
Compared with Led Zeppellin live 1973 I don´t know which concert was better 
cause  longer ago this  gig is, so better it has been in my (inexact) remembrance.
The best rythm sections I´ve ever heard.

Just found out it's a custom MIDI controller put together by LIVID.  I know I'd never seen anything quite like it before!  I used to have a Roland SP-808 that could do some of the same things, but tried to do way too much.  
 

 
Some have too many pads like the Ableton Launchpad:
 

Others have too many knobs...
 

 
 
But his controller (and stock LIVID's) look like just the right mix of knobs and pads:
