Review:
The magic remains the same.
A generation after they last performed a full concert together, the surviving members of the legendary Led Zeppelin made what can only be called a triumphant return to the stage at London's O2 Arena last night. Playing for a sold-out crowd of devotees, VIPs and media from around the world, the band -- 59-year-old singer Robert Plant, 61-year-old bassist John Paul Jones and 63-year-old guitarist Jimmy Page, joined by late drummer John Bonham's 41-year-old son Jason -- proved beyond doubt that despite their age, they still wield the hammer of the gods.
Sure, Zep may have been your daddy's rock band, but make no mistake: The British blues-metal icons brought enough swagger, sweat and sheer walloping power to blow most of today's young turks out of the water. They were greeted like the heroes they are by the wildly enthusiastic crowd of nearly 20,000, who had paid #125 each (about $250 Cdn) for tickets to the concert after beating out millions of fans in an online lottery.
From the opening moments, it was clear they were going to get their money's worth -- and that they were bearing witness to the biggest comeback in rock history. Kicking off the evening with Good Times Bad Times -- the first song from their debut '69 album -- the band burned through a high-energy 130-minute set that drew from nearly every album in their decade-long career.
Detractors and naysayers who suggested the band might not be able to deliver the same show they did decades ago were quickly proven wrong. Though his hair is now a silver tangle of mad-scientist curls instead of black locks, Page was still every inch the ultimate guitar god, peeling off blistering solos and showing no ill effects from the broken left pinky that delayed the show by two weeks.
A goateed Plant was in equally stellar form -- even if he sang the odd note in a slightly lower register than the banshee wail of his youth. Jones and Bonham held down the bottom end as if they had been playing together for years, with the latter doing a magnificent job of echoing the sound and style of his great father.
The production itself was no slouch, either, with the group backed by a stage-wide video screen and bathed under washes of light from a giant spider-like rig. You could quibble that it didn't equal the sprawling three-hour shows they used to put on, but as someone who saw them back in the day, let me tell you they were never this tight. And the sound and lights were never this good. And this time, we didn't have to sit through a half-hour drum solo. By the time it wrapped up after a smoking version of Rock and Roll, the fans most certainly had not had enough.
We can only hope the band feels the same way.

Many thanks, I've avoided all post original LZ shows, but the review sounds interesting, I'll give it a try. Enjoy your vacation!

Bojangles said...

Me too, I'll give it a try. I was hopin' an official cd or dvd from the shouw would show up, but Zep's waitin' for some reason I don't know.

Unbelievably good for an audience, sounds almost sdb. Great work, the Davemeister.

Could someone tell me if this one is worth the download ? I have 2 or 3 versions already, including Wendy's. In March Dave posted the "5+4 at the O2" issue which was supposed to be definitive, and then now this one, that Prefabfan says to sound like a SDB... Can someone comment ?
GREAT posting-work as always Dave,
Vince from Belgium.

i'm sorry, but imho opinion this is very very far from a soundboard... save space on your disk, and stay with your previous versions until you get an official release...
