Tippy2toes, what's it like being in a COMA for 24 hours and just waking up now? Man, look around a bit (on here and the web) reviews are, like, only, EVERYWHERE !!!
Ooooopppppsss Must have typed in the wrong URL. Mistakenly thought this was Stonesland. You know - The Rolling Stones Fan Club - the place for hard core fans of The Rolling Stones from all over the world. Must try rollingstones.com since this site has been taken over by idiot fans of a group I am not remotely interested in. Have a nice xmas anyway.
No, Helter's just keeping you on your "toes" - lol.... Chill, mate, all is the coolest - the Zeppelin machine is BACK !!! (And it ain't even Xmas yet...) Still have a chance to grab Robert's package - a girl can dream (and TRY)

The vids/mp3s are out there, but Warner Music Group toadies are getting the YouTube vids pulled down.
I got a few, and they range from OK to piss-poor. Nevertheless, it is obvious that the guys did a fantastic job, and were well-rehearsed. If this doesn't make it as an officially-released DVD, I'll be surprised. As for Jason Bonham -- damn, he woulda made his father proud. He played some of his dad's familiar riffs, but held his own otherwise. No doubt -- Led Zeppelin was reborn on this night.
I do not recollect being rendered so speechless after such an exhilarating, awe-inspiring spectacle as that gig. I think I stood with my jaw on the floor when I wasn't rocking out, from incredulity at how good it was. Even the next day, I felt strangely disinclined to speak to anyone until the afternoon. To attempt to convey in words how much it surpassed expectations is akin to sacrilege; it was a veritable spiritual experience.
After seeing the monumental Led Zeppelin in superlative form, I can die happy now.

I have felt the exact same way about 18 times between 1970 and 1977.

....hey Dude o' Bluz, was that really Bonzo's birthday? That was also the only time I saw Zeppelin. I was right in front of the stage, and I was speechless for days (well, more like hours......but it felt like days)
Yes it was. I saw them (one of 18 times) on May 31, 1973 and they made a big deal about it on stage. I even circulated a birthday card around the front of the floor seats and thew it on stage just b4 the show started. It was the best seat I ever had for a Zeppelin concert, if you don't count the 2 times I saw them in Sandy Eggo where they had General Admission and I was practically leaning on the stage.
...yeah that's the way it was when I saw them in Greensboro, NC. It was general admission, and I was as close to the stage as a person could get.....it really was a breath taking experience. I could feel the heat from the flash bomb at the beginning of "Rock and Roll" and I could feel the dry ice steam from "No Quarter."
This was the first time ever I saw Led Zep - I stood front row, and I was simply blown away. It was definitely one of the best shows I've ever attended - I DO hope they go on tour next year. Susan
