Led Zeppelin?

[CHRLY]

I'd be on ebay straight away if I had no money for this

[Englishdragon]

Jesus imagine the prices. I reckon they'd do some sort of registration system similar to that of glasto, to prevent tickets going for ridiculous amounts

[CHRLY]

Ebay dont accept gig tickets any more so tickets wont be on auction.

The prices on Stubhub and the like though would be out of this world.

Anyone remember how much they were going for second hand for the O2 gig?

[CHRLY]

They didnt sell did they?

I remember applying and only finding out I didnt

get them like a week or two before the original gig.

[Englishdragon]

Sorry dumb moment. They didn't go on a general sale like most other gigs?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I agree the chances of them doing Glastonbury is less than 0.1%.

I still think the gigs could happen this summer though. Just seems strange to release the albums first week in June, if they were just doing it to just sell as many albums as possible they would wait until Christmas.

They could easily do some shows either May bank holiday weekend or first week in June before Plant goes on his solo tour or in the middle of August when his tour is finished.

[Ted Dansons Wig]

As much chance as Hendrix coming on and jamming with Page

[LondonTom]

Been saying for a while I can see them playing a gig at Hyde Park or the Olympic Stadium this summer and this makes it more likely.

[Ipayne]

I'm pretty sure Plant is playing Glastonbury Abbey in summer, not sure if that would rule out Sensational Spaceshifters from the festival?

[Trebor]

He said he was coming through Glasto a couple of times.

Plant & Page secret acoustic gig @ Arcadia on Saturday night..

[Ipayne]

[plaskins]

not so secret now eh?

[stuartbert two hats]

I know people said The Stones were the ultimate, but Led Zep are really the ultimate aren't they? I say this as an enormous Stones fan with only a casual knowledge of Led Zep, I still know they are the giant, they are the one that will make people utterly lose their minds with excitement if they were announced.

[Guest]

so... going to gigs is on a par with stamp collecting?

actually, I guess, for some people, that does seems to be the case. Life (and gigs) is just a tick list.

I think, as far as legends are concerned, seeing as The Beatles, or Hendrix, or Elvis will never get there, The Stones are as big/important as you can get

[Guest]

no, I get that, but rarity value makes no difference to whether a performance is worth experiencing or not

For anyone who hasn't seen either The Stones or Zeppelin, IF you're interested in what was, or is, 'relevant', The Stones have to be above Zeppelin (with reference to getoffmylawn)

yea, possibly.

The Stones was a pretty magic night. For a band that have been less than great, live, for a good few years, Glasto was extremely lucky/privileged to get The Stones as amazing as they were for that one joyful night.

[Guest]

yep, that too

[CHRLY]

I think the fact that the Rolling Stones is a brand now. I see young people everywhere and I don't want to judge but I bet most of them couldn't name three songs, but they'd probably still watch them 'cause it's the stones Init'. Led Zep on the other hand would just be a load of old guys with guitars to a lot more people I think.

[Winslow Leach]

Maybe. Without getting into Prince thread territory, I think Lez Zep are one of those bands with a VERY fervent fan base. Very fond of the statement "Even if you don't like them, you have to admit that their music is really, really good". They give the impression that everyone, everywhere just loves them SO much. Sure, they are a massive band, but I'm not convinced that the field would be more packed than for the Stones, even with the pent up demand. Do the under-35s like them that much these days? Sure, they sold a metric shitload of records in their time, about the same as the Stones according to Wikipedia's back of envelope (200 - 300 mil range), but are they as popular to a wide audience now.

What do you say Led Zep fans. How old are you all?

BTW, I'm not keen, but I understand that's a sample of one. There are people who don't like The Beatles, and they're quite big.

[russycarps]

Stones are "bigger" than led zep of reckon. Beatles, the the stones, then Elvis is the all time top 3 I'd say.

Most people could name many more Bowie songs than led zep

[GlastoSimon]

You should see the amount of people I see around uni in Led Zeppelin t shirts. I'm sure not all of them are actually huge fans of course, but they'd have the same "well I probably should see them" factor as the Stones. Maybe not quite at the same level of the Stones, but certainly bigger than a lot of other viable headliners.
