Led Zeppelin O2
So far Led Zeppelin have played:
'Good Times Bad Times'
"The set started with a clip from 'The Song Remains The Same' DVD with an
American news clip telling of they broke The Beatles' attendance record for a
gig in 1973 in California. Simple stage set, video screen behind the band."
'Ramble On'
"'Ramble On' done in extremely slow, bluesy manner, with shards of electric
guitar from Jimmy Page."
'Black Dog'
"Page wearing dark shades, quite muddy sound. Crowd singing the 'ah-ah' bits
back at Plant."
'In My Time Of Dying'
"Page is playing bottleneck guitar. Plant spoke for the first time before song,
saying 'Good evening'."
'Your Life'
"That's not something you get to hear often these days, Led Zeppelin giving a
song its live debut."
'Trampled Under Foot'
'Nobody's Fault But Mine'.
The crowd is going wild inside the O2. People are hugging strangers, some are
crying, some are punching the air with joy. This must be the rock n roll
equivalent of winning the world cup.
'No Quarter'
"Following the song Plant paid tribute to John Paul Jones, who played keyboards
and bass on the track."
'Since I've Been Loving You'
"A bit of a style guide for you, all the band are dressed in black bar Page's
who is rocking a white shirt. As for the song they gone for the epic
version....very bluesy."
'Dazed And Confused'
"Settle yourselves in, we're expecting a ten minute version of this classic...
it was. At the end of it of the song Plant told the audience 'On guitar Jimmy
Page, just as he did on 'The Song Remains The Same' DVD which was filmed in
Madison Square Garden in the 70s."
'Stairway To Heaven'
"What do you think happened? Right! From the moment those opening notes rang out
the whole audience went absolutely crazy. The atmosphere is electric."
'The Song Remains The Same'
"A fairly straight version of the classic. The sound is still a bit muddy and
quiet though."
'Misty Mountain Hop'
"Plant kicked this one off by praising the job drummer Jason Bonham has been
doing, stepping into his late father's shoes tonight."
'Kashmir'
"Yet another epic, as this song cracks the ten minute mark. Plant introduced
this one declaring 'We've got people from 50 countries here and this is the
51st'. Afterwards they left the stage to loud applause. Will they do an encore?
What do you reckon..."
'Whole Lotta Love'
"... of course they come back to deafening applause. And it's an extended
version of the old 'Top Of The Pops' theme. Then once more the band leave the
stage with a visibly emotional Plant declaring:
'Thanks to everybody. Thanks Ahmet Ertegun, this one for is Ahmet Ertegun as we
remember the days when Atlantic Records was the best label on the planet!'."
'Rock And Roll'
"Just time for one more, as after two hours the night reaches its climax, and
what a stomper to go out on. And after the hype, the millions of people who
entered the ticket ballot and the speculation, Led Zeppelin's reunion show is
over. A one off? We dearly hope not."
