LED Zeppelin opened its first public concert in nearly two decades today with a mesmerising light show as the legendary British rock band belted out Good Times Bad Times to 20,000 fans from around the world.

Singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones were joined by John Bonham's son Jason on the drums for the one-off comeback, although there has been fevered speculation that the gig may be followed by a full-scale tour.

After showing news footage comparing Led Zeppelin, who created Stairway to Heaven, to the Beatles in terms of impact and following, the stage came alive and Jason Bonham pounded out the opening salvo as flashing lights pierced the darkness.

"In the days of my youth; I was told what it was 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 to do the same old jam," the band belted out to an adoring crowd who cheered every bar and beat.

The three surviving members of the hugely successful 1970s group, also known worldwide for Whole Lotta Love, have rarely performed together since splitting in 1980 after the death of drummer Bonham following a drinking binge.

By their own admission, each reunion was a shambles, so anticipation ahead of the set at London's O2 Arena was high.

"Let's just do the O2 and we'll see what happens from there," 63-year-old Page said in a recent interview.

"I haven't got a crystal ball here and nor have you."

Led Zeppelin sold more than 300 million albums and was legendary for its rock 'n' roll excess, but its popularity is also attributed to the influence the music had on later acts.

When organisers announced the concert, the website selling tickets crashed as more than a million people rushed for about 20,000 seats.

Net profits from the concert will go to the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund which provides scholarships for gifted children.

Music promoter and record label founder Ertegun died last year aged 83 after slipping backstage at a concert by the Rolling Stones and going into a coma.

As well as Led Zeppelin and the Stones, Ertegun and his Atlantic Records helped launched the careers of acts ranging from Ray Charles to Aretha Franklin.

Then one must ask, why did you watch? I think you're a closet LezzyPin fan... You just put up this front to keep Jb as a friend...
I'm just saying, really does seem this way, I mean you did go see U2, and them bitched about it... What is really going on?

Actually I meant Lou Reed's post-velvets stuff. Not that it's so bad but overrated and it bugs me when it gets called rock'n'roll, same with Stipe, that simpering idiot.

I would have liked to have seen this show so that I could point out (using specific time references) where the worst of the worst was, but sadly, I am not in the UK at this time!

One must first evaluate and then humiliate!!!!

jb likes Babs, that is tough enough to stomach, at least he, like me and the rest of the true fans, hates LZ!

In all seriousness. I dislike alot of bands. BUT!!! If one is a rock and roll fan, one must dislike, not hate, b/c hate is a sign, you don't really like rock and roll, you just pretent too by showing up, and being seen.
With that said, i hate The Eagles!

Okay, I was trying to be diplomatic but it's fucking true.
There's no excuse for 'ol crazy Joe and fact remains that the Eagles SUCK!
God, I fucking hate the Eagles, thanks for setting me straight there.
Man now I gotta go crank some Motorhead, Supersuckers, Ramones, GBH, and Minor Threat and top it all off with Jumping Jack Flash.

On that note, thanks for letting me play the reindeer games tonight.
It's been fun.

And don't forget if you're out tonight. ON your bike. Wear white.

mrhipfl Led Zeppelin reunion: the review

The first opinion from NME.COM's critic at the O2 Arena
19 minutes ago

You might think it couldn't possibly live up to expectation but, it transpires, the opposite is in fact true of Led Zeppelin's first public appearance in 19 years.

They seem buoyed by the deafening roars that greet their every twitch tonight - everyone present in the O2 Arena is willing their performance to the realms of greatness. It's almost impossible to be subjective, to not be sucked in.

It takes plant three songs before he offers a cursory "good evening". By the time they've blasted through an incendiary 'Good Times Bad Times', a dramatic 'Ramble On' and the stop start rhythms of Black Dog'. He needn't say anything.

Next They launch into 'Nobody's Fault But Mine' and Zep are smiling at each other, only occupying about six foot of the enormous stage. You wouldn't believe this is a band who haven't played together for so long.

They do No Quarter' and they're locked in as tight as if it were the 1970s. Only the close ups on the screen at the back give away their advanced years.

Launchomh into a version of 'Dazed And Confused' that seems to last forever but every last second is enthralling.

Jimmy Page is lit up by lasers and at the song's climax Robert Plant yells out "Jimmy Page on electric guitar!" in a moment the resonates right back to their first heyday.

'Stairway To Heaven' follows. Ridiculous in many ways yet it is a song that everyone present thought was fated to only be performed by dodgy pub covers bands and not again by its creators.

Jimmy has the double headed guitar, bassist John Paul Jones is sat at a keyboard and Plant - contrary to the pre-gig rumours is singing beautifully.

Playing this well known classic proves a shrewd move as it gently reminds everyone present just which, giant-sized rock band they're dealing with.

The final half an hour is comprised of songs so omnipresent it's hard to make any sort of tangible judgement.

'Kashmir' finishes the main set sounding incredible the band take a bow and they're gone.

Rapturous applause follows as you might expect but its nothing compared to the sheer mania that greets the first encore song 'Whole Lotta Love'. Not many bands have one of those, you see.

The middle section veers into space rock territory any young band would be proud of and when that riff returns its well you know how it goes.

Then Led Zep blast through a second encoure of 'Rock And Roll' - paying tribute to their old mentor and the reason this concert is taking place, Ahmet Ertegun, on the way - and, well again... you know how it goes.

If there were sceptics here tonight - there weren't but just for the sake of argument consider it - Led Zeppelin silenced them and banished any rotten memories of their shambolic Live Aid reunion.

More importantly though, what they have done here tonight is prove they can still perform to the level that originally earned them their legendary reputation.

We can only hope this isn't the last we see of them.

Gazza Just got a phone call from a couple of friends of mine in England who went up to the 02 to see if there was any chance of getting in - or even hearing the gig. They managed to get in thanks to an American couple who BOTH managed to be successful in the lottery and who sold them their two extra tickets for £500 (double face value).

The wife had never seen them before and is barely able to speak. Her husband had seen them a few times in the 70's and didnt think for a minute they could live up to the hype, but apparently they were superb. Plant's voice held up just fine - he sang within himself and paced things really well, with just about 3 big 'screams' - Page was breathtaking, apparently.

Martha I am swooning from your friend's review Gazza. I am mad for Pagey's sound. MAD. I would be sobbing on the floor I bet if I was there. I so hope they go forth and do up this tour.

xxoo,

Gimme Shelter Damn, I hope they tour!!!!!
10th December 2007 07:41 PM
wasted By all accounts the naysayers have been proven wrong.

Zep is soaking in the applause. They are taking their victory lap as they prepare for what lies ahead.

The bastards just sent me a text which said "The Rolling WHO?"

jb will be pleased to know I sent one back telling them to "fuck off".

They're two of my closest friends and I'm happy for them, but there are lines which cant be crossed and sometimes we do have to circle the wagons...

Circle right up! I'd never say that darlin'! I absolutely LOVE and ADORE both bands. Zep caught me at a tender age and I've been mad for them ever since. Seeing them the one time I did was incredible. I am so grateful I witnessed Bonzo ride those golden drums. If they tour count me IN!

xxoo,
MM

Oh yeah and....phooey on you jb!

I did register for the ticket lottery for this show, but more out of curiousity than anything. I didnt really expect them to rise to the occasion and theyre a band I havent really listened to in many years anyway.

I'll forgive her husband's good natured jibes though as she's a bit of a hottie, to put it mildly....

jb Fuck Led Zeppelin and their fans...it's a Stones board Gazza and get this fucking crap off...good for those who are into LZ..join a fucking LZ board or go in closed room with a few Zep albums and a wet wipe, but please stop pontificating how fucking great they are here...They Stones so transcend anything that Zep has ever done, but ass usual. the masses are clueless...Give em' Zep and their contrived mystic, their highschool heavy metal boring songs, and a lead singer who has about as much charisma as paint drying...just go away from our board because to us, nothing will ever come close to what the Stones mean in our lives....fuck off to all Zep fans and the too many fake Ston fans here....and this time I am serious....enjoy them, but not here ass wipes.

As A Stones fan, I'm glad that Zep played this gig for Ahmet. Zep fans were very upset with us real Stones fans, and were blaming us for Ahmets fall and eventual coma and death, at The Stones gig




it's a prickly kind of point isn't it pdog - with the trail of dead that the stones have left behind them it was a tragedy of epic, indeed almost olympian, proportions that ahmet's demise should be so closely connected to the stones given the heavy connections that already existed

i am not sure anybody would have been entirely comfortable with the stones playing there any way

and who knows what has passed between the band and the erteguns since ahmet's death - certainly not me

I posted a review someone had sent me for people to read..for someone who gets worked up about this thread you have half the posts in it.

And dont tell me what to fucking post on my own board, dont tell me to go elsewhere, dont call me a 'fake Stones fan' (I'm more a fan than you'll ever be) and dont tell other posters to fuck off because they dare like something you dont.

You of all people have a nerve to complain about non-Stones posts on this board. ANY music related thread at a time when the Stones are inactive is more worthy than most of the political crap, thread hijacks or other tedious tripe that I have to wade through every day. If the subject doesnt interest you (as the Van Halen stuff doesnt interest me) - ignore it.

Fuck off.
