I have seen Zeppelin live nine times.
Firstly just before one Christmas at the Ally Pally.
Then five nights in a row over two weekends at Earls Court.
Both Knebworths.
And because a friend of mine could pull a few strings with Bill Curbishley I got tickets for me and my brother for the Celebration day concert at the O2.
I once spent a day in Devon drinking with John Paul Jones at the home of a mutual friend.
I realise that the band members have feet of clay, as do so many talented creative people whose work people like.
I am looking forward to the documentary due to come out next month.
I am such a sad tosser I enjoy watching videos of young people reacting to Led Zeppelin for the first time.
I can still be moved to tears with the realisation we have lost John Bonham.
They are not a political band making ‘statements’ as such, it was all about the music and the almost supernatural force that held these guys together musically, you can call it sword and sorcery, cock rock, rips offs (can blue men sing the whites?) or loud and indulgent if you like, but I have never enjoyed any band as much as Zeppelin and as far as I can tell no other band who have yet been out there come close.

Thats just boasting you bastard.
yes, I saw them at Knebworth and just 3 times at Earls Court in '75, but I was just a cash starved baby at the time.
I saw first nigh, last night and a middle night. On the middle night I played bluff with the touts and managed a ticket
from a tout for face value. It was right at the front; I spent the night with my head nearly in the speakers
Again, I still cant believe that was 50 years ago, FFS.

I have seen some of Pages stage gear in a case at the V&A ( also seen his beautiful tower house ). I went to the major Floyd exhibition there which I loved. Mrs Tag says the Bowie exhibition was even better ( which I would question ). Time for a Zeppelin exhibition or ( thinking back to the opera exhibition they held ) a metal one?

If in IMAX is it a 3d film?
I always thought Peter Grant, who was a massive character, helped them "become" Led Zeppelin. There must be many of his sound bites that would have fitted nicely into that trailer. One or two that spring to mind was him showing someone trying to sneak into the gig the way out and also dealing with the freeloader selling unauthorised posters. Were the clips in the Song?
