It sure is depressing to hear that a band that I grew up with (and worshipped) is so damn old! Where have the years gone? Look at the bright side, we grew up with greastest rock band ever! Many of us probably thought Led Zeppelin was the greatest at that time, but it is gratifying to look back 20 plus years later and still feel the same way.
I tell Generation Y types all the time that bands of the present era don't even remotely compare to Zeppelin at their peak. Back in the 70's a Zeppelin concert was a real event. They could sellout six shows at Madison Square Garden in a heartbeat. For those of you who missed them in the 70's, check out The Song Remains The Same on DVD.

All right, why has no mentined the Yardbirds where Jimmy Paige once played? I saw the Yardbirds in Reno two years ago, of course there were only two of the originals but let me tell you, it was FABULOUS! They even did "Dazed and Confused". It was a small venue and I was in the first row and I felt like I was 15 again.
Please, let Led Zep come to Austin, heck I might even drive to San Antonio to see them.

check out The Song Remains The Same on DVD I've probably seen The Song Remains The Same a thousand times over the years. :) Caught part of it on a cable channel earlier this year.
Just before "Stairway to Heaven", NYC footage is shown. Robert Plant says, "This is a song of hope" and you see the World Trade Center just as the song begins. The timing of it all gave me goosebumps.
