"... Led Zeppelin fans who bought tickets online for the band's first performance in almost 20 years..."

Um, does he mean thirty years?

If it were only 20 years ago, I would have seen them.

[Always Right]

Yeah, but are they as good as Hanah Montana?

"Yeah, but are they as good as Hanah Montana?"

Hannah Montana - Who Said

They played an Atlantic Records anniversary show at Madison Square Garden in 1987 (20 years ago) with Jason on drums. It was great!

[RDTF]

those darn rules again

[Petronski]

Is “touts” Britspeak for “scalpers?”

Hehe... I just dropped a bunch o'money on iTunes for some of the Led Zeppelin catalog. Dayum, that's some good music! I was in college when much of it came out; every song reminds me of some dorm room or some event in college.

Other people remember where they were when Kennedy was shot, I remember where I was the first time I heard Stairway to Heaven (an Orange Julius in Ann Arbor).

There has to be an answer to the scalping that is going on. I have a 9 year old that is not too happy I couldn’t get tickets for her to see Hanna Montana in Memphis...they sold out in 8 minutes thru ticketmaster...It had to be scalpers taking the majority of the tickets...On the open market the cheapest tickets I could find were $250 a seat.

I’m sorry....I just never got the Led Zep sound. Robert Plant’s solo cover of, “Sea of Love,” was listenable, but the balance sounds like a pepper-sprayed bobcat trying to sing harmony with lawnmower.

i predict a repeat of the ‘69 riot in newport ri. they better get reinforcements. the national guard and marine reserve had to be called in when zep fans tore down the fences and mobbed the park. i think they were the first..and last rock band at the folk festival. i was told by my brother in law...who was a reservist...that a couple thousand kids were essentially marched out of town at bayonette-point. just not a good idea on their part...or a misguided publicity stunt. people could get hurt.

[Afronaut]

I never could get past the girlieman singer.

With love in her eyes and flowers...In her Hair.... Puke! ;)

[STONEWALLS]

“Sellers on eBay have been asking up to £1,550 for a pair of tickets, with one asking £4,000 for two and promising to grant access to the VIP guest area.”

...Whoa!.....I smell reunion tour.

[Lizavetta]

He doesn't look like a girlieman anymore. He looks like an old man:

[Afronaut]

Not everyone gets to get old...

I tell myself this once a day...

[Disambiguator]

He looks like the king of Rohan from the LOTR movies.

Jimi Hendrix Hey Joe 1967.

Jimmy Page - 1957

I played the first four albums until the grooves wore out.
