Darth Zoso Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I know that more money ca be made in a stadium. However, an arena is an excellent setting for their music. I hope they plan an arena tour and maybe play a few stadiums in the U.S. (if any)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago has Soldier Field, I hope they go there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetjellyroll Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Being from Wales UK.i'm not sure the legendary LA Forum is still standing,if it is this is a must as Zepp regarded this venue as their home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, it's still there but it was repainted and turned into a church years ago. No, really. It's a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Oh, it's still there but it was repainted and turned into a church years ago. No, really. It's a shame. He's right. The Forum, known for a time as the Great Western Forum, is an indoor arena in Inglewood, California owned by the Faithful Central Bible Church, which uses it for its Sunday morning service. Faithful Central Bible Church, home to a predominantly African-American congregation numbering over 12,000, purchased the Great Western Forum at the end of 2000 and holds its regular service there each Sunday morning. The church makes the building available for rent (for concerts/sporting events/etc. that require that type of large venue) on other days. As such, ownership is held through the church's for-profit entity, Forum Enterprises, Inc., which continues to welcome to the arena mainstream and secular fare, including concerts by such artists as Madonna, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Iron Maiden and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Forum_%28...C_California%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 So a church of Zeppelin then? Well, one of many Houses of the Holy as that album title directly suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Well, one of many Houses of the Holy as that album title directly suggests. The Inglewood Forum hosted Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy tour in 1973. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footsteps of Dawn Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 If they come to San Diego, it doesn't really matter where they play; the Sports Arena has absolute crap sound, so they might as well play at Qualcomm Stadium. You could get a closer seat at the Sports Arena, but then you'd be less likely to get a ticket at all since it's smaller. They'll probably just go to Los Angeles and forget about us anyway. Do you think they'd play Staples Center in L.A.? The Forum's a church now? Weird...just like my favorite one-screen movie theater where I saw Star Wars when I was younger - it's a church now, too!

BlackDog71 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 United Center or Soldier Field for the Chicagoland area people such as myself, but probably Soldier Field because it has a much bigger capacity. Hopefully they pick a summer tour so it's warm. I first hope they decide to do the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGG Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I agree in that Arenas would be a better choice of venue for sound, the view is also much better. I would hate to finally get to see Led Zeppelin, and have to watch a video screen because the figures in stage are too far away in a stadium setting. Alas, we probably won't have a choice of either, here in the US or anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lzfan715 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 They should play Indy or Chicago so I can go. Not to be selvish, but not sure about Chicago, and Indy has the RCA Dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Zoso Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 Concerts are still held at the L.A. Forum. I saw Page/Plant their in 1995 (Excellent show/crowd!). A friend of mine saw the Rolling Stones there in 2003. Also, Iron Maiden and R. Kelly are scheduled to perform there soon SO why not Zep??? http://www.thelaforum.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
