Hammer of The GODS! the Led Zeppelin Reunion!
Pastor Al’s heroes, the mighty gods of rock, Led Zeppelin reunited its 3 surviving members (plus late drummer John Bonham’s son Jason) today at London’s O2 arena for one of the most anticipated rock concerts in history. The whole thing was a benefit for their late friend and music industry pioneer Ahmet Ertegün. you better believe we’ll be scouring the torrent world for the bootlegs, but until then, here’s the first review from NME, or better yet, David Fricke’s account for Rolling Stone, and some nice flickr photos.
update: Just found a pretty good clip of Kashmir from the audience…
Behold the setlist:
Good Times Bad Times
Ramble On
Black Dog
In My Time of Dying
Trampled Under Foot
Nobody’s Fault but Mine
No Quarter
Since I’ve Been Loving You
Dazed and Confused
Stairway to Heaven
Song Remains the Same
Misty Mountain Hop
Kashmir
E: Whole Lotta Love, Rock n Roll

Who will Led Zeppelin have as an opening act on their 2008 US tour???
The rumors have finally been silenced: Plant has personally tapped his illegitimate son’s band–MEAN VENUS–to open all 2008 shows.
MEAN VENUS’ lead singer, J, when recently interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine, spoke of his utter disbelief at the prospect:
“I only found out he [Plant] was my dad a few years ago.
My mum hid it from me for the majority of my life. So to actually be going on the road with my Dad is bloody outrageous!”…..

YEAH! WOW! I have been hearing about this all over the place. I guess if Bonham’s kid is going to be onboard that Plan’t should be too. Pretty crazy. MEAN VENUS. Going to have to check them out. If it’s Plant’s kid singing he has to be good!!!
See at the shows!!!

I had heard a while ago that when mean venus lost their bassist that John Paul Jones sat in on the recording sessions for them. In the album credits they list John Baldwin as the bassist and John Baldwin is John Paul Jones real name. Makes sense that they would get th Zeppelin tour. Kind of like a passing of the torch.

That dude from mean venus aint opening for nobody. He died 6 months ago from heroin. I heard that was one of the reasons that Plant isn’t doing the tour too. After this Krauss b.s. he is done. Really ashame the Zep guys can’t honor Plant’s decision and understand that losing your son to heroin is something that most people never emotionally come back from.
RIP J
MEAN VENUS ruled!!!
