It seems like there's a tribute band for just about any artist/group these days! I have a couple of friends that play in these bands and they make some serious money.

The first is a Led Zeppelin tribute band called Led Zepagain.
I was at The House of Blues on Sunset (Hollywood,ca.) one night, watching their show. I was standing upstairs, just in front of the VIP section, when in walks Jimmy Page (with his entourage). He was really getting into the band and when they saw that he was there, you could feel their energy intensify! They were amazing!

It was very cool standing behind Jimmy as he was bopping his head, tapping his toe and playing hand drums on the railing. He went back stage to meet the band
and they have a photo from that night on their website.

The other tribute band that I really enjoyed, is the Atomic Punks. If you like David Lee Roth era Van Halen, these guys will definitely take you back!

I'm sure that these guys have to have pay the appropriate performance royalties...don't you think?!?!
