  1. Just caught the Ozzman at the Izod Center, East Rutherford, NJ(formerly known as the Brendan Byrne Arena and The Continental Airlines Arena, the Meadowlands Sports Complex.

    The show 12/3/10 and it was Ozzy's Birthday concert.

    Ozzy band intro and happy birthday to Ozzy:

    For the guitar solo fans, this is Gus G, Ozzy's lead guitarist:

    And I couldn't forget crazy train:

    I've got the whole show. If you want to see any certian song just pm me and i can pu

    it on youtube.

    Rock On!

  2. Deb, glad you had such a great time. that is such a great pic of you and Tony. It must be rough

    being a rock and roll star :)

    That is so cool about Jaeger. I'm sure he was at the three shows I saw, but didn't notice.

    When I went to NJ there was this short guy hanging around outside the venue. Just hanging

    around not doing much. I asked him if he needed any tickets because I had an extra. He smiled and

    said no thanks. of course i had no idea who he was because I didn't watch any youtube vids so it would

    all be "new". It wound up being Stephen Leblanc. Had I only known!

    It is so awesome that so many of us were able to enjoy it firsthand. If Jason doesn't do an official video there

    will be some great boots out there.

    Too cool about the hello deboarah. a true unforgettable zeppelin moment for sure.

  3. The show in NYC didn't start until 8:30, but every venue is different. Security was announcing this outside when the show would be starting, so that was a big plus.

    You're right. Looking at the times on my vid NY was spot on 830.

    Poughkeepsie was 701.

    Here's the clip of Jason saying: "I'm going to keep doing it as long as

    you keep coming as it's a part of my life as much as it is you"

    It's around 2:00-2:20

  4. Hello bigzepfan!

    Great recap of the concert. Thanks for sharing. I found this on you tube about Jason saying this will continue....two days and counting for me :-)

    You are going to absolutely love it.

    I felt is was really welldone between the video, the storytelling and the music of our heroes.

    I agree with Superdave that there should have been more from the later albums. It seems most cover

    bands focus on II, but any and all zeppeliin is good.

    Also, go in early. The shows I saw started just minutes after 8. I actually missed the beginninng of the first show.(shame on me)

    assuming they wouldn't start until 830. Not a chance, they were already on their their third or fourth song. Lucky for me I was able

    to see more than one show so I was able to see the whole thing.

    Enjoy it, Safe Travels and Rock On!!!

  5. Another fantastic show Monday night at the Best Buy. I must be the luckiest person on the planet. The morning of the show I figured

    I'd hop on Ebay to see what they have for tix even though I had uppers. I was able to score two tix row CC on the right side for only $120.00.

    When I got there they wound up being second row! Another night of incredible music, laughs, cries and jblze blowing the roof off the place.

    Everything was pretty much the same as the other two shows I've seen except no song remains the same. I, once again, was able to get alot of video

    from the very front. At this show security stood there and watched everyone take video. That's pretty rare these days. I've even been evicted at one

    venue from videoing and here in NYC where I figured they'd be really tight they were really lax. Gotta love it!

    After the show I went right to the front jumped up on stage and grabbed the setlist. I couldn't get one at

    the other shows so I figured why not go for it. After the show I also hung around and saw Tony Catania the lead

    guitarist and he hooked me up with the meet and greet. He remembered me from Poughkeepsie meet/greet.

    Got to meet the whole band again. Scored autographs of all bandmembers on my ticket stubs. SWEET!

    These guys are so happy to be doing this show. It is obvious onstage that they truly enjoy themselves and it shows before, during

    and after. Tony was very happy that ticketmaster announced that they sold more tix this week than any other show and all reviews

    are good.

    Jason also mentioned onstage that he thinks that this will continue. I will have to find it in my video so that I can quote it accurately.

  6. OMG crazy show tonite. After the first set everyone just stood right in front of the stage. Thought security would come and

    say something but instead about a hundred people moved up and we stayed there the whole show. Front row again!

    Told their tour manager about my adventures in London and she arranged for me to do the meet and greet with the band after the show.

    Very very cool to meet Jason and the band. Only spoke to Jason breifly, but with Tony and Stephen for quite awhile. James also for a minute or two.

    I got them to autograph my tix from tonight and last night and Jason autographed my 02 ticket stub(SWEET). Didn't get to meet michael devlin

    who tore up whole lotta love tonight with a passion. I was truly blown away by him during that tune.

    Jason said that the band has looked at the 02 footage and you never know. At least they've looked at it is what the man said and that's all good to me.

    It all starts there. may never happen - and according to some of the more in the know folks around here it never will - but I must keep the faith.

    If you like last night's vids tonight are going to be unbeleivable I can absolutely promise but too tired to deal with it tonight.

    anyone goiing to philly tomorrow have an awesome time. This show will blow you away!

  7. Phenomenal show last night in Engelwood, NJ from beginning to end.

    The band is absolutely incredible. Utmost respect for each and every one of them.

    They each have some really big shoes to fill and they did so with class, style and respect.

    Being a zep fanatic I was worried. for me personally, they came through like a shning star.

    Thank you for the Levee. IMO that was the tightest song of the night.

    I'll be putting up some great video from front row.

  8. I realize there was a topic that started soon after the news of the death of Ronnie James Dio, however, I thought I would start another topic about this Awesome Singer and Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Pioneer.

    I still am really sad that Dio is no longer alive on this Planet. Especially after I watched the tribute to RJD on "That Metal Show" a few days ago. As much as I Love Led Zeppelin and other hard rock and heavy metal bands and Music, I would have to say that there are only about 10, maybe 15 people in the whole world of "Music" that I will be very sad when they no longer inhabit this Earth.

    Ronnie James Dio is one of those people in my top 10. Probably closer to my top 5. Since I watched that tribute on "TMS" I have been listening to alot of RJD on YouTube. Rainbow, Black Sabbath, solo Dio, etc.. When I was a teenager me and my friends would get really stoned and literally crank to volume 10 "Heaven and Hell" "Neon Knights", "Mob Rules", "Holy Diver", "Last in Line", "We Rock", "Rainbow in the Dark", "King of Rock and Roll" "Man on the Silver Mountain", and dozens more. Not to mention the whole "Live Evil" album.

    Although I have always been a Fan and Loved Dio and his Voice and Music (since the very first day and song of His I ever heard), I guess it is really true when people say that once someone is really gone You tend to Appreciate them a little more. I always appreciated Ronnie but I guess I just seem to miss Him more now that I know I will never get to see him perform live ever again. I did see him once in Sauget, Illinois (across the Mississippi river and over the bridge from Saint Louis, Missouri). That was one of the best shows I have ever been to because it was in some very small club that only held a couple of hundred people.

    I LOVE YOU AND REALLY, REALLY MISS YOU, MR. RONNIE JAMES DIO. "YOU ROCK!!!"...

    Rock on brother. I hear ya. Ronnie was amazing. From the first time I heard Heaven and Hell right up until the end ronnie james dio was near the top of my list as well. I was lucky enough to see him several times.

    I saw the mob rules tour. That was the first one.will never forget the sign of the southern cross lighting up the entire place.

    I saw the dehumanizer tour in poughkeepsie. got too drunk to remember that one. Then came Heaven and Hell which I was lucky enough to see

    when they first got back together and then again on the second leg of the tour with Motorhead. I will never forget because we were fourth row and my friend tipped his beer to ronnie and

    he smile and gave thethumbs up. One of those Kodak f'ing moments. Then his final show in the US was at the

    House of Blues at the showboat casino, atlantic city, nj. 8/29/09. I snuck my camcorder in so I could record the show and got alot of it but got

    busted by security and almost bumped out of the place. I will never forget that one when he came over to my side of the stage. He is just soooo

    cool in every way. A true showman onstage. sings his heart out every night. Will never ever forget his unbeleivably unique voice and his rock and roll soul.

    the stage. He is just soooo cool. Will never forget you Mr. Dio.

  9. 2 days later.....

    still amazed by the show on Wednesday night. Ticket prices were high but , with me being a Zep-Head and always looking for a band to play loud , accurate chest pounding Led Zeppelin , I would have paid twice the $400 I did pay. Jason & his mates came through with a 13 out of 10 on the scale for me.

    I am one of those few people ( these days ) who can whistle with my fingers very , very loud! The people in and around me always look back and cover there ears ...lol.

    At the end of each song I was rockin the whistle and getting looks from the band members as my wife & I were in the front row just to the right. After the last tune of the 2nd set , a mind blowing " Kashmir " , the boys took a bow and left the stage. The crowd began the encore noise accompanied by foot pounding , it was awesome ! Then there was a lull , as several minutes had passed and nobody appeared on stage , so I wet my whistle and let er rip , the crowd picked up on it and became even louder than before , and voila!... out came the band ! Jason says , thank you so much and we are going to finish with some love , a Whole Lotta Love ...to be excact !

    The moment for me was after the song , they all came to the stage front , arms on each others shoulders and took a bow , as they stood up I let out my loudest whistle , Jason looked directly at me and did his fist to heart love gesture.

    Life is good !

    Remember people ....every day is celebration day !

    regards

    Alfred

    Alfred that is too cool. It's awesome to be acknowledged by the band in any way, isn't it. I'm going to be front row in Englewood, NJ on 11/4. Can't wait.

    I'll be screaming my loudest YEAH that night for sure. Probably won't have any voice left for Friday in Poughkeepsie, but that's OK. It's all good.

    Great to hear it's such a killer show. I might even say wtf and do boston on 11/2. time will tell.

  10. Thank you Steve for being the first to confirm. You are the man!

    Wow, this guy is frigging awesome. Just listened to "That's the Way", also on youtube.

    Great great sound. Well, of course, it is led zep. Excellent pick by Jason. I've seen a couple of others

    on youtube and this guy is really really on it. He will definitely do justice to the experience.

    I wonder if when JJJ were jamming he was one of the "tryouts"?

    Either way I'm so happy I can't even tell you. These days you never know what to expect.
