Anyone over 50 can't rock it's just not possible.

We have all new groupies in LA. They're welcome here.

awesome. would have loved to see it myself.

As good as it might have been, NME can't be trusted for one word their write.

Hopefully they do some more shows.

Or they.

Link Wray's ghost would like a word with you.

I wish I could have been there *sigh*

You are the expert I suppose. Troll wannabe is more like it.


NO SOUP FOR YOU! -1000!!!!!!

I would have killed a man in cold blood to have gone to this show. If it turns out they're not going to tour after all, I will spend the rest of my life attempting to develop time travel so that I can someday see them live.

/Zepp freak too young to have seen them back in the day
//Listening to Bring it On Home right now

Ha, they played Good Times, Bad Times. Except at maybe a very early concert I don't think they ever played that.

If the rest of the reviews are like this, I am pleasantly surprised/happy. I can't wait till some clips surface on youtube.

The last time Zep played on stage I had lots of hair on my head, not so much on my face. And it wasn't grey.

I'm with you. I've been on a Led Zeppelin mood this past week, listening. after many years, songs that I had forgotten that I loved so much.

/Over the Hills and Far Away

What a set list, going from Misty Mountain Hop to Kashmir to Whole Lotta Love?

MOTHERFARKIN WIN

One song they've never played in concert is "you time is gonna come" and that's one of my favorites. Throw in Fool in the rain and I too would kill a man in cold blood to see that show. Guess I can cash in the kid's college fund...

hey look, they did stairway

It's not that I'm a troll it's that I'm sick of Zep. I'm not of that generation yet it's all you hear, same goes for the Beatles and stones, nirvana, pearl jam, the cure and most anyone who's been on commercial radio for more then 2 "monumental" albums. Over exposure makes you suck, even if you where special at a point.

Plus when bands like this get back together it's pointless.

/Troll fu is weak
//But so is your favorite band.

I normally scoff at reunion tours, but if this happens, I will pay any Ticketmaster fee or scalper markup fee to see it.

galleech: Ha, they played Good Times, Bad Times. Except at maybe a very early concert I don't think they ever played that.

They've never played that live, according to Page. It's the first song off of their first album. The opening lyrics also go like this:

In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man
Now I've reached the age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can.
No matter how I try
I find my way into the same old jam.

I'd say it's perfect for an opener.

too bad they didn't do The Ocean, thats the only disappointment i can gather from the show.

I had that same dream!

I could never really get into Zep.

Plus, "reunion" tours are just so...blah. Even if the band is playing/sounding great, it's all kind of vaguely depressing and anti-climactic. And the bigger the band is/was, the more depressing it is.

The catch, of course, is that it's hard to resist the urge to see some of these bands live, just to say you did. But you probably SHOULD resist.

Can't you see we are having a love-fest here. Run along

10:30 GMT: The Song Remains the Same - Page has pulled out the double-neck SG. This one seems a little slower than the studio version. But hey, they have been on for 90 minutes. And they are senior citizens.

10:21 GMT: Stairway to Heaven- It's Stairway. What more is there to say? Except that they pulled it off like champs. "Hey Ahmet," says Plant at the end. "We did it." Indeed they did.

10:13 GMT: The bow is out! Page launches into his solo in the middle of a laser pyramid -exactly as he did on the band's '77 tour.

10:09 GMT: Dazed and Confused - "I don't know how many songs we recorded together," says Plant, explaining that when they put together their set list, there were some songs that "had to be" included. "This is one of them." Damn right.

10:01 GMT: Since I've Been Loving You - Apparently, they're sticking with the slower groove for a while. No complaints here - though we are gonna be ready to hear another rocker pretty soon.

9:51 GMT: No Quarter- Jones' trademark keyboard spotlight lasts 10 minutes - which is about half the length of the epic versions the band used to play back in the day. Come to think of it, at eight songs an hour, they're playing about 50% more material than they used to. Good value for that £125!

9:43 GMT: Nobody's Fault But Mine - Another slow-burning epic, this time from Presence. Plant says this one came from the Staples Singers and the Blind Boys of Alabama. More importantly, he played a pretty wicked harmonica solo.

9:37 GMT: Trampled Under Foot - Jones has put down his bass and moved to the keyboard for this funky number.

9:30 GMT: For Your Life - Before the concert, Page said the band has rehearsed this buried treasure from Presence, which they never performed live before last night.

9:17 GMT: In My Time of Dying - Page has switched to a hollow-body electric and pulled out the slide for this epic workout from Physical Graffiti.

9:11 GMT: Black Dog - They're already bringing out the big guns. And they're hitting the mark. Bonham is doing a fine job of filling in for his dad. And Page just delivered another searing solo. Naturally, the crowd is singing along with the "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhhhhhhhh" refrain.

9:05 GMT: Ramble On - Plant seems to be singing a little lower on this one. Otherwise, it's another killer.


9:02 p.m. GMT: Good Times Bad Times - The first song from their first album - could there be a more perfect opener? Even better: They nailed it. Everybody looks good, too. They're all wearing black. Page is playing a classic sunburst Les Paul.

Poleaxed: One song they've never played in concert is "you time is gonna come" and that's one of my favorites. Throw in Fool in the rain and I too would kill a man in cold blood to see that show. Guess I can cash in the kid's college fund...

I don't think they've ever played Fool In The Rain live. I do know that when Robert Plant played it with Pearl Jam he mentioned never having played it live before. Plus, they were reading the lyrics the whole time so I guess he's not lying. Here's the clip (new window).

What a great setlist. They'd better tour.

Keith Richards today oozes more rock and roll attitude and talent than anyone you care to name....

I'd say it's perfect for an opener.

Check that, it's For Your Life that's never been played live.

Interesting year for Robert Plant: goes from working with Alison Krauss to a Led Zeppelin reunion.

I've seen The Song Remains The Same concert video hundreds of times so when I saw Page and Plant 10 years ago I was saddened. It was just two old guys with bad knees trying to rock. I will not be attending the Led Zeppelin concert.

i can't wait for the dvd.

Whore.

You know, this is gonna make a whole bunch of old geezers go out and buy all the Zep albums that they used to have on casette/vinyl, but never got around to buying on CD once they "grew up" and started doing things like buying their music on CDs.

Like me.

/not entirely true - I have their 1st album on CD

Anyone hear about the Rider they put on their dressing room needs?

Coffee

Ironing Board

No word on Geritol.

you do know that people on film stay the same age, while people in real life get older, don't you?

That's too bad. We were all really looking forward to seeing you there. They might as well not tour at all now.

I saw them in '77. I can die happy.

AuralArgument: Anyone over 50 can't rock it's just not possible.

Putz.

There was more over-50 kickass musical talent backstage at tonight's show than you'll have a clue about in ten lifetimes.

Solomon Burke, for one: who could roust you from his lawn without getting up from his throne.

Although Mr. Plant does like his ironing:

During rehearsals the frontman Robert Plant, now 59, clutched a mug of tea and then asked for an ironing board so he could press his own clothes before the gig. He told friends it helps him "get in the mood".

We all know how much Fall Out Boy rocks. Get back in your basement.

Yeah, right. As if you actually needed an external cause to get rid of Def Leppard.

Your one-arm-at-a-time pace isn't going to get the job done.
