One-off gig £125 a ticket, by ballot only...

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Led Zeppelin confirm reunion gig

Torn here.. I used to love them, but would hate the gig to turn into them being a parody of their former selves (could be a bit Spinal Tappish?). Sometimes you just want to remember things as they were when they were at their best.

Thoughts ?

The greatest rock band there has ever been.

Don't see the point in this reunion gig although I understand the money is all going to charity which is fair enough. I share your worries about them being a parody of themselves. They were of their time, and should just leave it at that. Their fantastic musical legacy will live on forever.

It can't be Led Zeppeilin anyway without John Bonham..

I love Led Zep but always wondered why they kept re-doing the same tracks. And, for that very reason I don't think it really matters if they do another gig; they've always been a parody of themselves (in my opinion).

£125 for a gig even if for cheridee is feckin' steep. How much goes to the charity?

And, Greenmachine you're right, they cannot truly be Led Zep without Bonham. Every drummer I've ever met/known when asked who is their all time favorite drummer replies; "John fucking Bonham". Even if they think Led Zep were pish!

I can't say I totally agree with the John Bonham reference: The Stones without Jones, Taylor. Wyman? The Who without Moon, Entwistle? Still rocking. But I do agree I'd hate to see Led Zep parodying themselves which is, I fear, how it will turn out. Plant's voice ain't what it used to be although in his latest offerings he does stick to his limitations. But still, as you say, the legacy will remain, whatever they do now.

I saw Plant and Page in Glasgow a few years ago and they were superb

Robert Plant is still the best rock singer I've heard and Jimmy Page is still a master of the rock guitar.

They may be getting on a bit but they have lost none of their ability or passion for what they do. The atmosphere when I saw them was terrific. None of us felt let down by the band, there was no "wish I'd seen them at their best".

They are still the best

Possibly. Paul Rodgers is still chanting good stylee.

I saw them at Knebworth back in 77 in what was then their last ever gig in the UK.
Going back to see them over 30 years later just wouldn't be the same.
Hang on, I'm going to see The Rezillos next month ....

**Hibee Kev** · 13-09-07, 13:21

Got their live double-disc DVD and it's awesome! When they played Kashmir at Knebworth the atmosphere seems incredible. To sample even a bit of that would be great. Cannae afford 125 quid though!

BEEB says 20 million, but either way, there's not much chance of getting a ticket as the O2 arena only holds 20,000.

Would it not make more sense therefore to hold it in a stadium that'd hold 3 times as many people? Make 3 times as much money for charity?
