R.I.P. John Henry "Bonzo" Bonham "With Zeppelin, I tried to play something different every night in my solos. I'd play for 20 minutes but the longest ever was 30 minutes. It's a long time, but whenI was playing it seemed to fly by." -John Bonham-
@BradfordandLasso You lucky, lucky human being. I detest being a teenager in this day and age, I would have loved to have seen Led Zeppelin in their heyday. I've loved Led Zeppelin since I was a child, and I WAS at the O2 gig (I was just 14 at the time). The experience was absolutely incredible, standing 20ft away from my idols, but I was angered at the presence of people such as Paris Hilton - her place could have been filled by someone who truly is a fan of the band and appreciated the music.
@Equinoxxa You are very lucky yourself. I would have loved to been at the O2 gig. But Paris and her peers got the tickets instead of people like me. Oh well, that's life. Thanks for the comment. all the best.
I'm still pretty ticked that Plant didn't agree to do a show at MSG after this! If for nothing else, just to give their American audience, who really in many ways made them what they are today, a finale before it became too late!
Link Wray was noted for the innovation of a new sound for electric guitars as exemplified in his hit 1958 instrumental "Rumble which pioneered an overdriven, distorted electric guitar sound. He also invented the power chord.
Yeah, you are right. Wow, your ancient! 15 in 1980? I was only 12 then.(Just messin). I remember seeing shirts that said LZ 1980 US Tour, and below the white print it said CANCELED in red. At least for long time fans like us, we now have all the utube footage.
@RockerForLife74 Bootle.! Seek out Third Eye Productions to start with. There are many different versions of the O2 show circulating now including a BluRay version.
@robdant i don't know if i offended you, sorry if i did, but i wasn't insulting zep in anyway, i said i love both bands, they are my two favorites. so i really don't know why you directed that comment towards me.
omg dude, i wasnt comparing them to heavy metal, i was just saying heavy metal bands of today were inspired ALOT by Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath. I know Led Zeppelin were completey inspired by the blues, most of their songs are covers of blues songs with zep's own kickass twist. Gallows Pole was originally Gallis Pole by Leadbelly, When The Levee Breaks, The Lemon Song... Etc.
@MOSKII58 Rolling Stones were among the best live bands, along with Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. The Who weren't quite on a level with those bands, despite the fact that Pete Townshend and Keith Moon were fantastic. As a frontman, Roger Daltrey was second tier to Mick Jagger, Robert Plant, and Ian Gillan.
Good Point Cooleme! I like Plant a lot and understand his reasoning regarding touring with Zep, but to me its kind of a slap to the REAL fans that they did this show, and they had to of known that the only ppl that would be able to see it are the ones that eat drink and shit money. Tour for 1 yr, let the ppl see the show, and call it quits.
@PAULOcbi The performance is secondary? Thats the only reason I would have shown up. Yeah the event itself was cool and all but that zep set is why 99% of those people were there. I understand why they down tuned, but it detracts from the way those songs were meant to be originally heard and as I said before...no Bonzo :( I love zeppelin and this show wasnt bad, just not the true zep imho. Just my opinion though, thats all.
zdogy1, it looks like his hair has already "died". (the correct spelling for colouring is "dyed") No one cares what he looks like, besides to tell you the truth, he's really cute for an old guy. Kind of sweet.
Amen..Im not sure why people go on and on about some of these band's ages...Honestly I would rather pay to go see an old great band...then some of the tripe the call rock nowadays.
I can't stand that the likes of Kate Moss got a ticket. I'll wager she's never listened to No Quarter Cleveland 1977 and cried over Pages sublime guitar solo.
fucking people were not even born when LZ came too be!!....I was doing bong hits and playing there music on vinal records.....They have no idea how huge this band was
buy them all, there isn't a bad led zeppelin album - although how the west was won is a phenomenal live album, and their best studio albums are II, IV and physical graffiti in my opinion
Led Zeppelin is my favorite band but they are not considered the first heavy metal band. They are stated to have provided the basis of heavy metal with they're hard rock sound. They are undeniably one of the greatest bands in history and the first hard rock band. Deep Purple is, literally, the fist heavy metal band.
The down tuning sucked for that gig and Bonzo wasnt there. Tryly a "you had to be there" type of thing for sure. I have the show on blu ray and Ive only watched it maybe three times since I got it. It was way better than Live Aid or Atlantic 40th but that aint saying much...
Oh, really? The Stones still have all their members? How's Brian Jones been lately? Haven't heard from him much the last 30 years....haven't heard from Wyman in awhile either, come to think of it. Led Zeppelin had the rare class and grace to realize "they could not continue as they were" with the loss of their "dear friend." It's the LAST thing anyone should use as ammo in some asinine "my band's better than you band" nonsense.
I dont give a fuck either way but if youre arguing about who was the original Heavy Metal group...Blue Cheer had it all...the loudest, hairiest, meanest sound before Purple, Sabbath, Zep...check out their Summertime Blues on here and tell me im wrong!
have been saying that for years,Zep is the best Hard rock band ever (Deep Purple is after them) Sabbath is metal totally different. Zep =best hard rock Beatles=best pop band Who=best live band then we have Floyd,Yes, & Steely dan to catorgorize NOT!!!
I think the world has gone bonkers after reading all of the ass kissing praise. Wow, old guys get together and play music. The Stones did it for years as did the Beach Boys. Les Paul used to play until he found it hard to to do so. There are tons of bands out there. What if Boston did a reunion gig?
I wouldnt buy the DVD. I'm cool with whatever. I wanted to see them 1000x more in the 80's. Whether for Ahmet, or Live Aid, its just kind of a teaser. I saw Robert 5x Page Plant 2x etc, I just think they made too big of deal out of never doing a show with Zep as the main theme. Now they are in their 60's. Do 30 shows in major US cities and call it quits. Give back to the fans that have spent 100's of millions on all of their post Bonham Box Sets!
@nuttymanyelismate I for one would let a few Rock stars in, like less than 10 probably and that's it. No Pop what so ever, because if they said they liked Led Zeppelin, they'd be lying.
of course they were amazing , they are amazing ,BEST BAND EVER ,PERIOD.

GREATEST.. BAND.. EVER!!! YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
When I see clips from the 2007 reunion show I almost cry, for not being there.
You can by the D V D...it is
Ahmet Ertegen was a wonderful man. All the music he helped bring to the world,it boggles the mind.
The best band in rock and roll history !!!
Totally agree with you, I would love to have been there, but couldnot get a ticket.
So it is a real bummer to see these ppl get in so easily
Led Zeppelin the best rock band ever..
Was a great show. Lucked into tickets. Crazy
GREATEST BAND EVERRR

I was there thank god! NT
Hey Kate Moss is a human being and she deserves as much respect as anyone else.
@Equinoxxa You are very lucky yourself. I would have loved to been at the O2 gig. But Paris and her peers got the tickets instead of people like me. Oh well, that's life. Thanks for the comment. all the best.
@BradfordandLasso Envious, I am! 3 times... I would have killed to see them once.
i think you will find it was 20 million and not 1 million people trying to get tickets
Since they last played together which was at the Atlantic Records anniversery show in 1988
I'm still pretty ticked that Plant didn't agree to do a show at MSG after this! If for nothing else, just to give their American audience, who really in many ways made them what they are today, a finale before it became too late!
i dont think mr. plant has lost his voice at all i would love to see them live someday there the best band in the world
noel gallagher is LOVE.

they have really good film of the performance where can we see this footage!
yeah i agree
Is that richard hammond from top gear at 9 seconds?
yay
I was there but strangely can't remember much.
Yeah, you are right. Wow, your ancient! 15 in 1980? I was only 12 then.(Just messin). I remember seeing shirts that said LZ 1980 US Tour, and below the white print it said CANCELED in red. At least for long time fans like us, we now have all the utube footage.
I agree gopack1959 I sure wore out allot of bong's smoking and listening to Led Zep on vinyl.
@BradfordandLasso
Conratulations !
@PAULOcbi Do The Stones REALLY use a click track onstage? Details, please!
You're crazy. Jimmy looks even cooler with the white hair. Looks like a wizard. Like his idol Aleister Crowley.
@puddledoo Did you ever get to see them back in the 1960's or '70"s?
@beatlemaniac1966 That's funny coming from someone with your username. I do love them both, though.
when will the dvd come out??
@PAULOcbi Is this a well known piece of info as I don't think that U2s drummer is quite near 65 yet!
They did play Kashmir
@RockerForLife74 Bootle.! Seek out Third Eye Productions to start with. There are many different versions of the O2 show circulating now including a BluRay version.
what did Paulo Nutini say? All I got was something about bagpipes and thats it
@mebloke69 Nahh, you're actually wrong. They did the Atlantic Records 40th Birthday show in 88'.
@srv3563 i did a couple weeks ago, he still sounds great!
@robdant i don't know if i offended you, sorry if i did, but i wasn't insulting zep in anyway, i said i love both bands, they are my two favorites. so i really don't know why you directed that comment towards me.
Zep is my favorite band. I answer to no one. I am free.
btw Les Paul still plays weekly at a club in NYC :)
@Voorhees67 Too true my friend too true!
its kool dude, i should have said it diffrently lol my bad. Swingin' On The Gallows Pole!

sabbath (with Dio) & Zeppelin would rock even more !!!
but sadly RIP Dio
1:16 LMFAO
Hey! There was a camera crew! Where's the film? No official one was ever published! WTF?

they pretty much created and inspired heavy metal
Why I couldn't be in O2 Arena?
que ese wey no es el que sale en la pelicula fligth 666?? 1:17

1:16 XD ROFLMAO
Thats wrong information acutally over 23million registered

i live really close to paul rodgers i know his niece
@beatlemaniac1966 Oh, sorry. I feel exactly the same way.
@TheCharliec123 ahhh good times bad times
@mystro810 * meant to say I WONT endure mediocrity for the sake of being up to date... left out a critical word in that sentence
Why isn't the American press reporting on this concert?
@BigAussieBloke69 that I am. thanks.
zdogy1, it looks like his hair has already "died". (the correct spelling for colouring is "dyed")
No one cares what he looks like, besides to tell you the truth, he's really cute for an old guy. Kind of sweet.
@PAULOcbi All that studying by the drummer at an American drum school did him no good then. What about The Stones?
Amen..Im not sure why people go on and on about some of these band's ages...Honestly I would rather pay to go see an old great band...then some of the tripe the call rock nowadays.
I can't stand that the likes of Kate Moss got a ticket. I'll wager she's never listened to No Quarter Cleveland 1977 and cried over Pages sublime guitar solo.
Dude it would suck if somebody bought tickets for that show and LOST THEM!
@BradfordandLasso hello sir.. I bet that you was cryin over at that gig, aren't you?
I like your comment above btw...haha
LED ZEP KICK ASS!!
Then why the hell is everyone discussing this topic on this page? I was just providing fact.
fucking people were not even born when LZ came too be!!....I was doing bong hits and playing there music on vinal records.....They have no idea how huge this band was
That exactly? It's just a funny reaction, I'm not trying to poke fun at anybody or anything for that matter. Calm down.

@swiggy58a oh sorry i put eppelin instead of zeppelin
omg chuck norris.
@MsAppassionata i was quoting the guy who was taped after the concert... beatles are the greatest in my opinion, zep second
No John Bonham :'(
Er..sorry to burst your bubble but he's about 60 there of course his voice is going to be different!

The only real legend there was The edge And avoided all cameras
U2 have always been great at avoiding stuff...like Tax.
what a bad take
have been saying that for years,Zep is the best Hard rock band ever (Deep Purple is after them) Sabbath is metal totally different. Zep =best hard rock

good comeback lmao
he would look kinda ridiculos, besides, the fact that he can still play like he did back in the day is what maters
@nuttymanyelismate I for one would let a few Rock stars in, like less than 10 probably and that's it. No Pop what so ever, because if they said they liked Led Zeppelin, they'd be lying.
They never had any number 1 hits. A "hit" is a single
