Still no word of a webcast?

I guess bootlegs will be all over the place from tomorrow though.

NME said:

'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'."

'For Your Life'
"That's not something you get to hear often these days, Led Zeppelin giving a song its live debut."

'Trampled Under Foot'
"Before starting Plant told the crowd it was the band's attempt to sound like Robert Johnson's 'Terraplane Blues'."

'Nobody's Fault But Mine'
"There are huge screen's dominating the O2 Arena, they split into four sometimes, goes monochrome, colour etc...quite spectacular."

'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 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. Afterwards Plant said "Ahmet, we did it!"

'The Song Remains The Same'
"A fairly straight version of the classic."

'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'

I am so frustrated that this isn't being aired or streamed or anything! I want me some Zep!

Whatever you are hearing in your imagination is likely a lot better sounding than the reality, I assure you.

NME said:

'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."

I'm sure there will be plenty of recordings on the torrent sites & snippets on YouTube by tomorrow...

Plant showing off his percy with ridiclously tight jeans, Page wasted on heroin, and Jason Bonham choking on his own vomit?

And JPJ almost going to bed with a transvestite.

Is Page's hair gray or is it just the lighting? Last time I saw a picture of him was in the audience at the Cream reunion.

He's totally grey these days, stopped dying his hair a year or so back I think.

Wow, I think Jimmy could now replace Hamilton on the ten dollar bill.

Sounds like a great show. I saw Plant back in the 1980s. He did four Zep songs.

You know the band's ancient when even Jason Bonham is starting to look old.

It actually sounded pretty decent.

When did the Moody Blues change their name to Led Zeppelin and start playing Led Zeppelin songs?

I dig Plant's beard, though.

They apparently had it filmed professionally (unless the BBC filmed only that one bit of "Black Dog"), so does this mean a DVD will be released?
