Led Zep tour???

Rock and Roll Dinosaur Tours

The insane ticket prices for these dinosaur tours makes an old guy like me glad that I went to see the concerts back in the day when the music was new.

Eagles, Grand Funk Railroad, Rare Earth, Procol Harum, Santana, The Who, so forth and so on.

I remember when a $10 concert ticket was a lot of $$$ ! :yes:
 
When I heard they were doing one show, I would have bet they would do more, Unless it went really bad, or there was bad blood that wouldn't go away. I know that while I'm closer to 50 then 40, I still feel the same as when I was 18 (except in the morning!!). Everyone of us longs for the past in some way, being on that stage HAD to feel incredible!

And of course there is the money! There aren't that many concerts, especially in large venues, that I feel the need to go to, BUT if they do tour I WILL be there!
 
Yea, sorta reminds me of the Cream tour a few yrs ago, "will they, wont they" extend or continue a while longer. I didnt go but I think the tix were way out of my range anyway. The DVD was great if your an old Cream fan.
 
I'm going tomorrow, got really lucky! Have to work during the day but luckily my boss is a big fan so if I promised to get her a concert poster she let me have Tuesday off. It's going to be awesome.
 
Wow thats killer. Please come back to this thread and give us a set list and review if you could. Have a great time! I entered the lottery to go and was ready to fly to London but did not get a ticket....
 
You betcha; they'll be spotting for cameras but we'll try and cameraphone some pics. I think this gig might actually the Dome being built in the first place!

was the lottery the only way to get tickets? have u seen any prices on scalper tickets?
 
Yep, completely random. I've seen some go for £2k; each winner got two, which had to be paid for by the winner's credit card within 2 hours or something. So, that person must go as he/she needs to present photo id and the credit card upon collection tomorrow. Completely and utterly untransferable, the only way to get in now is to find someone and be 'the other person' upon collection, and get your wristband etc issued.

They were supposed to play a new song tonight. I don't know if they did or not. This really should have been on pay per view or regular TV. We'll have to wait for the DVD.

Has it been officially announced that there is going to be a DVD release or is that wishful thinking on your part? :D

Encore: Whole lotta love, Rock and Roll.


Absolutely awesome, first class playign all round, although the second half, from 'No Quarter' was noticeably tighter and better equalised (no microphone feedback and better audible keyboards from JPJ).

The atmosphere was electric, everyone had grins like cheshire cats! The other acts were so-so, most interesting to me was to opener, with bits of Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer and others playing a fantastic rambling song that took everything from Fanfare for the Common Man and Beethoven and weaved it into a wall of sound.

Also, special mention must go to Paul Rodgers from Free for belting out 'All Right Now', definitely the only time the crowd were united before Led Zeppelin came on stage.

The main event was, as mentioned, sensational. Not too much stage-caterwauling but the sound was excellent without sounding too rehearsed; it was obvious from the between-song banter that they were all enjoying themselves!

Kashmir was probably my favourite, it sounded like a mini apocalypse! Stage and lighting wasn't too elaborate but very well done, with projected graphics and a very slick film crew. The tech desk looked like NASA mission control, and before the main act two kids ascended rope ladders to man 'gun turret' lights over the stage - that would be a fantastic seat!

During Dazed and Confused the violin bow came out and a green pyramid constructed by lasers surrounded Jimmy, rotating with each chord and gradually speeding up - obviously done on the fly.

Only downside was the fact that the organisers of the event seemed to not know people were going to leave, leading to thousands in a giant squash while they sorted out a very small exit. Clumsy. At least the tubes were on time.

From the look of the films crews and sheer amount of effort going into the video content, I wouldn't be surprised if a DVD was forthcoming.

Back to the vinyl now then!
