I saw them in '77 at the L.A. Forum, and my ears are still ringing to this day. (It was a great show though). I had tickets to see them again in '79, but Bonham died a couple weeks before the show, and they broke up (as they should've).

21st century geezer rock is a freakin' joke.

I also saw them in '77, at Madison Square Garden. It was the first BIG concert that I ever attended. I still remember it fairly well, it was an awesome experience. I think they opened with Black Dog. Led Zep was one of the two best bands I had the pleasure of seeing in person. The other band was The Clash, at Shea Stadium, when they opened for The Who in '82 or '83.

I'd love to see The Clash get back together for a tour.

In many cases, that's true. I'm inclined to give 'em a break, though, for two reasons:

1): Nobody expected *any* of them to live this long; and

2): The other options aren't very appealing:
