Man, Zeppelin better start touring after this

[thekavorka]

As everyone knows, they had a concert today with the original band members + Jason Bonhaim replacing his dad. I hope this thing at least comes out on DVD. Only a lucky 18,000 got to attend.

Here's a fan review from someone from another forum:

just got back from this show.

Take the best orgasm you ever had, multiply it by a thousand and you're still nowhere near it. So now I can die with a smile on my face, without feeling like the good Lord gyped me. This was the greatest night of my life.

The opener was Good Times Bad Times. From there, they went into Ramble On, In My Time of Dying and For Your Life. At this point, I can't remember the exact order, but they played Nobody's Fault But Mine, No Quarter, The Song Remains the Same, Stairway to Heaven, Since I've Been Loving You, Black Dog, Misty Mountain Hop, Dazed and Confused, Kashmir, Whole Lotta Love, Rock and Roll, and maybe one or two others.

The set was extremely heavy. Jimmy Page's guitar sound was full of gain, but also biting and incendiary, cutting through everything. He really is the greatest living guitarist. John Paul Jones proved that he is truly one of the greatest bass players of all time. Plant's voice was a bit lower, but it still sounded completely like Plant. He still has an absolutely amazing singing voice. He doesn't hit the super high notes as much, but his voice is still perfectly clear, and he did hit the high registers on a number of occasions. Jason Bonham isn't quite as good as his father, but he is a damn, damn good drummer.

I was a bit dissapointed that they didn't do an acoustic set with Going to California, That's the Way and Bron Y Aur, and I was really hoping for Achilles Last Stand, but they played so many songs that I can't really complain. An absolutely amazing show, and here's hoping for a tour.

The set list was:

'Good Times Bad Times'
'Ramble On'
'Black Dog'
'In My Time Of Dying'
'For Your Life'
'Trampled Under Foot'
'Nobody's Fault But Mine'
'No Quarter'
'Since I've Been Loving You'
'Dazed And Confused'
'Stairway To Heaven'
'The Song Remains The Same'
'Misty Mountain Hop'
'Kashmir'

Encore
'Whole Lotta Love'
'Rock And Roll'

The guy makes this statement but still finds a way to be "a bit disappointed."


This guy might just as well shoot himself.

Ive heard they are playing Bonaroo this summer, but I dont know how true that is.

Either way, Im not interested in seeing them tour as haggard old men. I realized Im too young and missed the boat on Zeppelin, paying hundreds of dollars to see them play songs that they wrote 30 and 40 years ago inside a massive arena isnt going to make up for it. I have the 2003 live DVD, its good enough for me.

Stairway to Heaven baby!

That just gave me a bustle in my hedgerow.

If they step foot on this continent I'm there.

That would be one concert I would have loved to have seen. Well at least I got to see them in the early 70's as well as the other night when I saw the remastered Song Remains the Same on VH1 Classics.

What has always amazed me about this band is that as amazingly good they are musically, they are equal terrible lyrically. Sometimes I wish the songs were in another language so that I didn't have to process the lyrics.
