"I was speechless," said another fan, Emmet Owens, 26, from Derry, Northern Ireland, who sat three rows from the front. "I could not find any faults. No Quarter was amazing."

The event will benefit the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund, which provides students with annual scholarships to universities in the U.S., U.K. and Turkey. The late Ertegun, an industry leader for six decades, was the co-founder of Atlantic Records. He died in New York last December from a head injury suffered when he fell backstage at a Rolling Stones concert in October. He was 83.

Wow, they tuned that WAY down, and Plant still could barely sing it.

Don't know what key they played it in, but it was definitely lower.


I'd still go see them just because they are Led Zeppelin, but Plant's voice is pitifully weak now.

are you kidding, during the 'loud section' of stairway, he sounded great.

I metered it. They tuned down to Ebb on that...two tones lower than standard. Eb is common for live performances, but that low allowed them to really take it easy on Plant :)

If they tour next year I think they will all begin sounding better, individually and as a group.

Sales of Led Zeppelin?s back catalogue soared today after the spectacular success of their one-off reunion concert.


The group?s best-of album, Mothership, have already gone Platinum, meaning it has sold more than 300,000 copies, but Gennaro Castaldo, a spokesman for HMV, said it was on track to become one of the biggest best-sellers.


?It was our best-selling album today, up from number eight last week. Led Zeppelin t-shirts have also been our most popular since the concert.?

Mr Castaldo said that sales of the band?s DVD, The Song Remains the Same, and its back catalogue had rocketed by 500 per cent since the concert.

The Led Zeppelin official website became the third most visited for an artist or band, beaten only by Katie Melua and Radiohead.

You need to find a Youtube of Zep doing that song in the 70's, and play it along with this week's version and then come back and tell me he sounds great.

I did. My opinion stands. I'm sure he did performances worse than today as well, those don't make youtube though.

Maybe he doesn't care? He liked it...why are you trying to screw that up for him?

Robert Plant fans should see this;

Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation

"Filmed in high definition during the 2005 "Mighty Rearranger" tour, this intimate PBS "Soundstage" concert captures the onstage magic of rock icon Robert Plant performing Led Zeppelin classics such as "Black Dog" and "Whole Lotta Love," plus newer solo works with his band The Strange Sensation. The set list also includes "Four Sticks," "Freedom Fries," "No Quarter," covers of "Hey Joe" and "Girl from the North Country" and more."

..I have a copy of that. Very entertaining.
Agreed. The band is excellent. Perfect venue too...
