Led Zeppelin O2 Arena Show: The Gigwise Verdict

Read our full review here...

It was arguably the musical event of the millennium and Gigwise was there.

Finally after nearly three decades (underwhelming one-off appearances aside), last night rock titans Led Zeppelin got back together for a one-off show at the O2 Arena in memory of the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.

Despite ticket allocations being unfeasibly tight, Gigwise managed to squeeze a writer in there. CLICK HERE to read our full review.

As reported last night, the rockers treated fans to a 16 track set that was rammed full of classic Led Zep tracks, including ‘Good Times, Bad Times’, ‘Stairway To Heaven’, ‘Dazed and Confused’, ‘Kashmir’ and the ultimate ‘Rock and Roll.’

With blanket positive reviews of the show - Jimmy Page being as dextrous a guitar player as ever, Robert Plant reaching the high notes and John-Paul Jones and Jason Bonham exceptional throughout – there is now even more pressure on the band to reform for a world tour.

  • Unfortunately i did not attend the Led Zep 02 Gig, and at over a hundred pounds a ticket there was no way i would have. I think most bands tend to get caught up in the money making machine rather than repay their fans who have brought the albums and the rest over the years. Led Zep is no different. Perhaps they need to make sure of a decent pension. However i’m glad they played a great set and pleased the fans. Lets hope they reform for a world tour, and make sure ticket prices are reasona

  • The concert was for charity and I doubt they took any money.
