I too was lucky enough to see Led Zeppelin at Knebworth 1979-I was 16 and had just left school.I too tried as a lifelong fan to get tickets to the O2 and was as many were,disappointed,However it struck me that I had seen THE LED ZEPPELIN not this reformed version which sadly didnt have the great BONZO there at the back.I am more than sure that Jason did a great job but he isnt his dad is he? I am glad I have those 1979 memories and in a way didnt see the O2 show, you cant relive the past and Plant/Page and Jones have made the right decision to leave it at that-What is and what should never be!
cant beleive i got tickets but i did. it was something i thought i would never see, zeppelin live. fantastic. the whole night was unforgetable and i will never forget it. had tears in my eyes and hair standing up on the back of my neck when they came on stage it was brilliant. zeppelin has allways been such a big part of my life from a boy to a 33 year old man today, and to see them play live will always stay with me. its twelve months on and i still buzz when i play there songs. thanks led zeppelin for so much.
I wasn`t there:I tried obtaining tickets by registering and even entered various competitions,but the odds were very remote
(a one in a hundred chance at best,formerly/optimistically speaking). I think that it was very insensitive to leave so many fans out.
The counter-argument would be that it was better to play for some than none and it was done for charity,but it was very elitist and expensive and Zeppelin garnered immense publicity,with companies jumping on the bandwagon along the way.
I am pleased to have seen them at Knebworth,which would have been better in any case.
More recent claims were also insensitive however that they were going to play Cardiff Millennium Stadium.It was of little surprise to me that it never materialised.Even if it had what would the odds have been of securing a ticket?
Lucky enough to be there, from the moment I hit the bar chatting to other rock fans the expectation levels were so high it hurt..... you just wanted this to be the greatest gig you ever went to
it was
thank you
Took 20years off us..Made me feel 20 years younger..Busked 100 cafes for the ticket and aweek in London town,treated my girl..
Jim was looking great, Saw him in a small tree festival with Mr Roy Harper in1984 looking a bit worn for weather..good to see them all looking well..Robert just awsom,along side Mr Jones and of course our new drummer,did have a tear on the way to france..nostalgia perhaps,unbelievably real,huge clouds, cleard the air for a lot of people,love you loads,one more time for the boys please!!!! luv Nick,toots and Sarah.see you guys..thanks a lot..
Reading the comments today, remembering that night, I again have tears in my eyes, still can't believe I was there, unforgetable.
Really jealous of all those able to get to this gig of a lifetime. I saw these Gods at the 1st Knebworth gig and I can only describe it as a magical night. Fom the moment I was awakened on the morning of the concert by Supertramp - Take the Long Way Home, over the PA, to the last encore from Zep after 3 hours of blistering, hammering, melodic excellence. Even the 5 hour drive back to the North East couldn't dampem my spirits.
