Rock Action Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Immigrant Song??? Forget it. Robert just hasn't got the pipes anymore for that one. Too bad though, I'd love to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEPPHAN Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 REALLY? I WONDER IF THEY'VE HEARD THE GODSMACK COVER? I bought that the first time I heard it. They did a great job covering that one. Sully's voice and the band in general seem to fit the song really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Carouselambra is a great song? The only problem with it is the disco feel is has in the last section, the bass guitar part in particular. I would love to hear Tea for One. I have a recording of Page/Plant doing Tea for One and Achilles Last Stand in Japan from 96' I believe. Not too bad considering they only did it once. could have been tighter though. And if they do Since I've Been Loving You, I hope they do it Knebworth style with Piano instead of organ, and the gritter guitar sound. I think Carouselambra could be done, but as an abbreviated song. I think some of their songs could survive some trimming without anyone even noticing the difference. Achilles Last Stand and Nobody's Fault But Mine has a little too much repetition in them, for instance. I'm just not sure how purist they should be when they only have 2 hours to play with.

mos6507 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I've tried to stay current on all the O2 gig news. Where did you hear that this is supposed to be an all electric show? Maybe this explains why no one in this thread is considering an acoustic segment. I thought surely the old boys would appreciate the opportunity to sit down for 20 minutes, and no matter your opinion on Jimmy's technique post 1975, he's always ripped on the acoustic. I would welcome a little break from the sonic assault, it will just make that much better when they plug back in! Arguably, the acoustic stuff was pretty played out in Page/Plant. So it's not an absolute necessity. They obviously want to focus on the higher intensity stuff to show they can still pull it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mos6507 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I was thinking the same thing. Some of the riffs in ALS and Carouselambra repeat for like 8 bars or more and could easily be cut in half, saving 2-3 minutes per song to make room for another song. The repetition in those songs verges on Nirvana-like. I mean, good songs, don't get me wrong, but not every bit of them is sacred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLight Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I would love it if they did In the Light. That is my favorite Zep song and being that they never played it live (well together at least) adds to it. The Rover would be great too along with all the classics. I think Rock and Roll is a very appropriate song to open up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer of the Gods Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Jimmy said they're doing a 2 hour set of classic Zeppelin songs but they couldn't do anymore because he doubted they had the energy to do more than 2 hours. When they were first approached they were asked to play for about 40 minutes only and they all agreed that would be too short. Everyone is going to the O2 Arena to see Zeppelin, even though there will be other great bands performing. They kind of rearranged their songs though because Robert Plant can't sing that high anymore. Maybe he should wear tighter pants! Haha...I'm sure it'll be awesome!

jamesslade Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 If they are rehearsing as much as it's being reported then it all depends on how well they are playing. It is not far fetched at all to think they could do 3 hrs. IMO. I would have to agree with that statement. I would not underestimate the difficulty of what they are undertaking. To expect that in a "One Off" performance everything is going to go perfectly would be a stretch. I would love to see Jimmy pull runs off like he did in 73', but I would be wary of how well some of the solo's will be excecuted in certain tracks. I love the possibility of The Rover, You shook me, In the light etc. These are excellent songs and ones that lend themselves to a masterful performance by Page. The bands performance hinges on song selection because given Page's finger injury multiple note solos will be better replaced by tracks with less demand on his facility.

TravellingRiversideWoman Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Would love to hear some of the early early tunes, ie We're Gonna Groove !! and also, How Many More Times, to me, that is one of the often overlooked masterpieces, but I doubt they'll play either one of those. Wish this was a four-hour set. - TRW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g4340 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 According to Page, Zepp will play only 1 song at the O2 that they never played before. He called the song "really intense." I'd say they'll stay away from long songs to make room for the other favorites. So no Carouslambra. So, what song is "really intense?" How about Living Loving Maid (played only during Plant solo shows) or Wearing and Tearing (played only during Plant solo shows) ? I think it is one of those or Hey Hey What Can I Do (Page/Plant tours). Without giving the surprise away, what song has a distant connection to Ahmet and is a song they never played before?

zepncrowes Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 As much as I love these suggestions, here is a down to earth- realistic possibility for a set-list based on past performances, songs they love and are comfortable with- as well as the 2 hour timeframe. Rock and Roll Sick Again Since I've Been Loving You No Quarter Dazed and Confused Stairway to Heaven For Your Life In The Evening Kashmir Encore: Black Dog Thank You Final Encore: Train Kept a Rollin Personally I would make a completely different set-list with favorites from Grafitti and Presence, as well as some old favorties like I Can't Quit You or the Lemon Song- but I think this is a realistic snapshot of what we will see (or what we will hear 1 month later on bootleg!)

DavidZoso Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 First off- I am going by bits and pieces from recent magazines etc. Jason Bonham said in Guitar World that it would be an electric set- so I am going by this. Remember all 4 could change their minds all the way up until showtime. Case in point-Atlantic 40th Records reunion in 1988. Robert all the way until they hit the stage did not want to perform 'Stairway to Heaven' but relented. They had also been practicing 'I can't Quit you babe' but didn't include it. Jason also said they would start off with 'Good Times Bad Times' and they would be doing 'Stairway to Heaven', 'Dazed and Confused', and 'Kashmir.' Then Jimmy said in another Guitar World interview they couldn't do a 30 min 'Dazed and Confused'-a 20 min 'Stairway to heaven'- run off stage and then do 'Rock and Roll' as an encore- it had to be a longer set to do all of what they want. Jimmy also said one of the first songs rehearsed was ' Houses of the Holy' and then for sure they would be doing 'For Your Life' for the first time. Then in the recent Rolling Stone article they rehearsed 'No Quarter' and 'Kashmir' So I am going by what I have read along with what I think would be a realistic set along with what instruments I think Jimmy would use on each tune. Good Times Bad Times- Jimmy- '58 or '59 Les Paul Sick Again- " " Celebration Day- " " Robert's first words- " Sorry everyone for the delay of live activity...it's Nobodys Fault but Mine" Nobodys Fault but Mine- Jimmy- '58 or '59 Les Paul For Your Life- -Lake Placid Blue Stratocaster In My Time of Dying- -Danelectro Houses of the Holy- -Transperformance Les Paul Misty Mountain Hop- -Paul Reed Smith I'm Gonna Crawl- -'58 or '59 Les Paul The Song Remains the Same -Gibson Doubleneck No Quarter- -Transperformance Les Paul Trampled Underfoot - " " In the Evening- -Lake Placid Blue Stratocaster How Many More Times- - '58 or '59 Les Paul Violin Bow Solo- Dazed and Confused- (fast part till end like Jimmy played on his '88 solo tour) Achilles Last Stand- -Transperformance Les Paul Stairway to Heaven- -Gibson Doubleneck Kashmir- -Transperformance Les Paul 1st Encores: Rock and Roll- - '58 or '59 Les Paul Heartbreaker- - " " Black Dog- - " " 2nd Encores: Walters Walk- -'58 or '59 Les Paul Whole Lotta Love- -Transperformance Les Paul (Knebworth 8-4-79 version-but also including Theremin workout) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krish Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I think a realistic set will include the following songs for sure: 1. Good times, bad times 2. Dazed & confused 3. Communication breakdown 4. Whole lotta love 5. Moby Dick 6. Since I've been loving you 7. Black dog 8. Rock & roll 9. Stairway to heaven 10. The song remains the same 11. No quarter 12. Kashmir Given that For your life has been jettisoned and b/c Page said with the solos in Dazed, No Quarter & Moby will be an hour total, I think there's only room in the above list for maybe 2 or 3 other songs. We shouldn't have our expectations too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainSongWoman Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 LED ZEPPELIN frontman ROBERT PLANT wanted the group's upcoming reunion concert to be a song-for-song recreation of their historic 1970 show at London's Royal Albert Hall. The Stairway To Heaven singer felt the supergroup's 9 January 1970 concert was the best they ever played - and he wanted to revisit the show for the band's Ahmet Ertegun tribute gig in London next week (10Dec07). He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "I had an idea initially that we should do our entire Royal Albert Hall set starting with We've Gotta Groove... Just do that!" The 1970 gig he recalls was featured in its entirety on the band's 2002 DVD collection How The West Was Won and featured White Summer, Black Mountain Side, Whole Lotta Love, C'mon Everybody, and Communication Breakdown. Led Zeppelin's 10 December (07) show at London's O2 Arena marks the band's first full concert since their final show with the band's late drummer John Bonham in 1980. The group tells Rolling Stone the show will be 100 minutes long and will include band classics like Whole Lotta Love, No Quarter and Dazed + Confused, as well as selected rarities. 06/12/2007 22:26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krish Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 It would be a mistake to recreate the set from the 1970 show for two reasons: 1. If Plant remembers that as their best played show ever he's only going to be left disappointed trying to recreate it 37 years later. 2. The fans would miss out on all of the great songs released on albums after 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
