Gr3ll Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Interesting however where you have the band placed? Regards, Grell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEVIN Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 They could use a typical "stadium" setup and put the band in either turn 1-2 or 3-4 maximizing the infield area. They could also use a "in the round" setup so the "farthest from the stage" view is closer. Either way I dont think selling out would be an issue....

KEVIN Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Do you think 250 thousand is too many to attend a concert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpilot Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 250k....jeez that would really suck...small is better 18000 O2 was big enough in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEVIN Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 250k....jeez that would really suck...small is better 18000 O2 was big enough in my opinion It would be great if Led Zep played small clubs and arenas in 2008 but given the possibility of only a few dates (if any) I think playing at the biggest best equipped places makes the most sense (and cents). If and I will make that a BIG IF.... they decided to play 20 dates in 2008, playing at a O2 size place gets them a total of ~ 400 thousand. Playing 2 shows at a site like the BMS gets them 320 thousand IN THE GRANDSTANDS. By the time you setup the infield and luxury boxes you could be looking at the biggest 2 day event in the history of the USA. If they were to play on consecutive weekends and you could be looking at close to 1 million fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthekingshorses Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I really don't like big venues. I hope they stick to 20,000 and under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 JBs Dud'laay. They'd have to play at least 200 gigs there alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlantOneOnMe Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I really don't like big venues. I hope they stick to 20,000 and under. I agree. I don't want to do Bonnaroo. I'd do MSG, Continental Airlines Arena or whatever they re-named it). They can come to my house anytime. I make a really good cup of tea for after the show.

fenderguy Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I really don't like big venues. I hope they stick to 20,000 and under. I agree. 250,000 people is just too much. Plus what if the weather turns bad and the show gets canceled? Then you have 250,000 very angry people who flew in from all over to see them at an outdoor show. How would you like to work security for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb Derigable Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Ever since Hearing about a possible tour. I cant think of a cool place to do a concert in chicago. The United Center (20,000) is most likey the place with at least two shows. but i wanna be outside. The ballparks had concerts before. The new soldier Feild will be excellet with at least 60,000. My favorit will be Grant Park. When they held the chicago bulls championship celebration, they got over 250,000 maybe close to 500,000. but i wouldnt want to be around 250,000 people. Thy got other outside venues around 20,000 and lower but the dates will pile up. I would think a led zeppelin concert in Chicago would be a high demand.

hammerhead Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 They would have to do the City of Manchester Stadium or Old Trafford... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzldoc Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 When we saw the Page/Plant tour they sold out 2 shows at this venue See the red dots where we sat just behind the mixing boards about 100ft from the stage. Only 2 seats in this row, it was like sitting in your living room watching a live show. Saw Zep in 77 and this show was just as kick ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seals Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 A great Summer gig would be them blasting out over 'the sound' from Plymouth Hoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
