led zep

[dentalplan]

The mere (moderately realistic) suggestion of LZ-1 playing at Glastonbury has made my heart die a little. Firstly, because it'll make the resale laughably difficult and, secondly, because there's a very real chance I won't be there to experience it. Not sure watching the limited bits they allow to be shown, through floods of tears, on the beeb will be quite the same.

I would think there would be at least one other large show, probably slimmer chance than resale tickets though.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Also, they need to double the perimeter security.

[Poliwhirl]

I dont think I could handle it being Zeppelin.

[russycarps]

I reckon the stones crowd would be bigger. I bet you a sizable portion of this year's crowd couldn't name a single led zep song. Not the case with the stones

I went to see the Stones. Categorically wouldn't go and see LZ. No interest in 'em.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's a fact this year that some of the Stones' crowd - a small proportion, but noticeable enough for all that - struggled with Can't You Hear Me Knocking and Midnight Rambler, at about 9 minutes long a'piece. If the Zep decided to stretch out, then the crowd's attention span would surely start to wander.

everybody knows Whole Lotta Love! Top Of The Pops theme ain't it! (although do the extremely young generation even know what that is!?)

Bloody iPad! Just wanted to say you are not alone in any of those sentiments. LZ at Glasto and me not having a ticket - honestly too painful to think about.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Yeah, fair points above. But maybe the strength of Zeppelin playing practically three shows in thirty years may stimulate more interest than the Stones who pretty much haven't stopped touring since 1962?

But there are some who would stay for the first three or four songs to 'tick a box' and say 'I was there', then hot foot it over to Shangri-La.

[Wooderson]

Only to do with the scarcity of Led Zep dates over the past 30 years. If the boot were on the other foot and LZ had played regularly everywhere that would have them and it was the Stones reforming for a one-off gig - then nah.

yep, got to agree with that. It's a band who don't play, who don't tour. It's an event. It's a world away from getting a band who are already touring and set up to do all this to stop off at the farm for a reduced payday.

[Wooderson]

Comparing their potential attendance numbers to the Stones isn't the issue.

That more people would try to break into the site than ever before, is.

[Mardy]

Precisely, if you want to See the stones, they've got a string of dates. Hyde Park, US dates, you name it. LZ different proposition entirely. This would be the one/only/last chance to see them. A lot of people would think they'd need to be in Pilton by any means neccessary.

[Wooderson]

I think Zep would put Michaels superfence/access integrity under proper scrutiny.

Myself, i think the procedures would stand up to it. But no doubt there'd be a fuckload of blaggers, bullshitters etc etc trying to get in.

[Wooderson]

I think the fest could only do it if there's a pressure-valve gig(s) announced alongside it. This couldn't be a single event. You'd have twats parachuting in I'm serious.

[CaledonianGonzo]

You can't start with that craic mate. There'd be no end to the hypotheticals.

To have Zep (even in their current incarnation) play the fest would display unprecedented nous from Glasto HQ.

[Ed209]

I don't see much hypothetical about it at all. It's because of scarcity. If they could resurrect Jimi Hendrix or John Lennon or even The bloody Doors it would create even more of a furore than Led Zep ever would.
