Led Zeppelin Reunion Concert (5 Viewers)

Sad?I think its a great idea.Its a one off concert,and that doesnt effect the Led Zeppelin myth one bit.Having full fledged tours like Kiss did(which seemed to last for ages) would have been surprising,but i think a one off concert is fantastic.Particularly since Led Zeppelin still sound great.I love it when great bands from the past gather togather for one off concerts.It gives the younger fans a taste of what a band was all about,and it all also means that the band doesnt overdo anything or spoil its reputation by prolonging the whole thing.
On January 28, 2008, during a press conference in Toyko, Jimmy Page revealed that he is prepared to embark upon a world tour with Led Zeppelin, however due to Robert Plant's tour commitments with Alison Krauss, such plans will not be announced until at least September.

Burn outs?
First of all they're legends, and second of all the crowd at the reunion concert absolutely loved it from 50+ year olds to the younger crowd.
They're not "trying" to do anything, except to celebrate their masterpiece rock songs. Where's the sin in that?
Respect to them for reuniting for this tour...

That's because you're obviously not a fan. There's nothing wrong with it and I don't care what's the reason they're doing it, money or whatever. I'm 22 years old and I love this band beyond all boundaries, why shouldn't people like me get the chance to hear them live? They're old farts, true, but the general consensus is they sounded freaking great even after all that time.
And none of them are bald and none of them have beer bellies(not that there's anything wrong with that) and none of them are trying to hide signs of their age; Page's hair went all white and he didn't even dye it, for example.

I'm gonna do all that's humanly possible to go and see them. This is probably the last chance I'll have in my, better yet, their life. I don't count on them coming to Croatia but I can see myself going to Italy, Austria, Hungary, etc. in order to see them. I don't care if it's gonna cost me 3 months pay and I don't care if I have to go alone.
I'm going to agree with you and say that if you can go see them then do it. This isn't some dumb perrenial act you can catch the next time around. This is greatness on the highest level and it’s the last chance the world will ever be able to witness it. :rulz:
I was fortunate to see the stones and mcartney when they came through here about 3 yrs ago and I am glad I did it cuz there is nothing better than seeing greatness that you listen to everyday in person.

I mean, I don't mind diverse musical taste but I never thought you cared for classic rock.Most definetly, this year I already have tickets for 2 legends, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits is in Zagreb in June and Iron-freaking-Maiden in Split(August). If I could catch Led Zepp some time next year...my life'd be complete.

Public Television here in the U.S. has pledge drives for donations all the time, and one of their mainstay programming options for getting call-in donations is a series of haggard old people getting up on stage and singing their stuff when Smokey Robinson & the Miracles ruled the world. Smokey now has emphysema as does the whole audience. It's sad, really. It's like going into an old folks home and watching a group trying not to live in the present, but rather the past -- like in the movie Cocoon. It's as sad and pathetic as the people who cheer on their college football teams even in their 60s, as if they're going to a kegger and going to score with a sophomore after the game.
The remainders of Led Zeppelin who are trying to recreate something that cannot be recreated is only about 5-10 years away from this.
There's just a time to grow up, recognize the present and not live in the past, and move forwards -- not backwards.
Normally I would agree with you had this been a case of a band wanting to get some instant guaranteed cash by doing a mini tour. But this is Led Zeppelin. The same band that disbanded immediatelly after one of the member died and never recorded any new material because of that. In close to 30 years they have only performed 2 times under the Led Zeppelin banner, both times for charity and to commemorate Atlantic records/the founder of Atlantic Records. That's something worthy of respect IMO, they didn't suck out the blood out of their name, they left it as a legacy. And this is not a last grasp for cash either because all members had succesful solo careers in the last 3 decades.
The people and the critics that were there in the O2 arena seem to disagree with you. Something was recreated and everyone was amazed at the quality of the performance they showed, that's a fact. It's not like they put on a lame show and now just wanna squeeze the money out of it while they can. They put on a great show and the people loved it. Give the people what they want I say, there's enough sad people to fill a number of stadiums around the world.
