This is not Zeppelin. Last time I checked Bonham was still dead and frankly I can't see how these geriatrics can pull it off. There will be frequent breaks to change the Depends.

nice... we'll be right back to rock you out! right after a quick diaper change!
They'll record it, but they won't release for 20 years. When they originally release it, it will only have 7 of the 15 songs on it. Then they'll release a version with the whole concert about 5 years after that. 2 years later, they'll release it again, but the songs will be reordered, and it will include two bonus tracks.
Well, a Bonham is still playing the drums, and he'll sound just like his dad.Originally posted by: compuwiz1

You're right.
The Beatles were never the same after Pete Best left.

Yep, and Van Halen was never the same after Michael Anthony replaced Mark Stone on bass, either.Originally posted by: oldsmoboat

True, but the main thing Robert Plant needs is his voice, and that left him over 20 years ago.Originally posted by: Red Dawn

..he sounded real good in "Raising Sand" with Alison Krauss. Full range tenor.

So far according to Canoe.ca it's been
9:43 GMT: Nobody?s Fault But Mine - Another slow-burning epic, this time from Presence. Plant says this one came from the Staples Singers and the Blind Boys of Alabama. More importantly, he played a pretty wicked harmonica solo.
9:37 GMT: Trampled Under Foot - Jones has put down his bass and moved to the keyboard for this funky number.
9:30 GMT: For Your Life - Before the concert, Page said the band has rehearsed this buried treasure from Presence, which they never performed live before last night.
9:17 GMT: In My Time of Dying - Page has switched to a hollow-body electric and pulled out the slide for this epic workout from Physical Graffiti.
9:11 GMT: Black Dog - They?re already bringing out the big guns. And they?re hitting the mark. Bonham is doing a fine job of filling in for his dad. And Page just delivered another searing solo. Naturally, the crowd is singing along with the ?Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhhhhhhhh? refrain.
9:05 GMT: Ramble On - Plant seems to be singing a little lower on this one. Otherwise, it?s another killer.
9:02 p.m. GMT: Good Times Bad Times - The first song from their first album ? could there be a more perfect opener? Even better: They nailed it. Everybody looks good, too. They?re all wearing black. Page is playing a classic sunburst Les Paul.

10:30 GMT: The Song Remains the Same - Page has pulled out the double-neck SG. This one seems a little slower than the studio version. But hey, they have been on for 90 minutes. And they are senior citizens.
10:21 GMT: Stairway to Heaven- It?s Stairway. What more is there to say? Except that they pulled it off like champs. ?Hey Ahmet,? says Plant at the end. ?We did it.? Indeed they did.
10:13 GMT: The bow is out! Page launches into his solo in the middle of a laser pyramid ?exactly as he did on the band?s ?77 tour.
10:09 GMT: Dazed and Confused - ?I don?t know how many songs we recorded together,? says Plant, explaining that when they put together their set list, there were some songs that ?had to be? included. ?This is one of them.? Damn right.
10:01 GMT: Since I?ve Been Loving You - Apparently, they?re sticking with the slower groove for a while. No complaints here ? though we are gonna be ready to hear another rocker pretty soon.
9:51 GMT: No Quarter- Jones? trademark keyboard spotlight lasts 10 minutes ? which is about half the length of the epic versions the band used to play back in the day. Come to think of it, at eight songs an hour, they?re playing about 50% more material than they used to. Good value for that £125!

11:05 GMT: Rock and Roll (2nd Encore) - They couldn?t have closed with anything else. And they couldn?t have played it any better than this. Like racers heading for the finish line, they saved one last burst of speed for the end of the race.
10:55 GMT: Whole Lotta Love (Encore) - This one is also a little slower than the studio version ? but in this case, it only makes it sound heavier and more aggressive. Plant tops it off with one last scream that?s probably still echoing over the Thames.
10:42 GMT: Kashmir - That thing we said about keeping it to 90 minutes? Never mind. They redeem themselves with this slowly thundering version. ?There are people here from 50 countries,? Plant says. ?This is the 51st country.? Jones is on keyboards, but Page does a pretty fair job of bringing the guitar army to life.
10:37 GMT: Misty Mountain Hop - Again, the energy on this one seems to be flagging just a bit. Plant even sounds a little winded. Maybe they should have kept it to 90 minutes.
10:30 GMT: The Song Remains the Same - Page has pulled out the double-neck SG. This one seems a little slower than the studio version. But hey, they have been on for 90 minutes. And they are senior citizens.

8:45 p.m. GMT: The opening sets are over, the gear is being changed and the roadies are soundchecking. We are minutes away and the atmosphere can only be described as electric.
8:15 p.m. GMT: Time for Foreigner. Judging by the relatively youthful appearance of the singer and a couple of other guys, there aren't many original members left in the band. Right now they're belting out that damn power ballad I Want to Know What Love Is ? with the help of a choir. Why couldn't the sound cut out now?
7:58 GMT: Paul Rodgers is singing All Right Now. Finally, some rock!
7:50 GMT: A woman who looks a lot like Janice from The Sopranos ? I presume that's Maggie Bell ? is wailing a bluesy version of Do Right Woman. Not bad.
7:47 GMT: Sound! Finally.Lucky for the staff ? the media were minutes away from open revolt.
7:45 GMT: I can see Paolo Nutini on the screen singing. Still can't hear anything. One wag has suggested we start singing karaoke. Others are openly haranguing organizers. This could be a long night.
7:35 p.m. GMT: Bill Wyman and his band are onstage. We'd tell you what he's playing ? but the TV in the press room has no sound. Not a good sign.
