croquet'n'cocaine Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Am staying in londons west end from 4 Dec to 11 Dec. and was hoping to catch some Zep tribute band. Anyone know if theres anything like that one? This is a good point. Any landlord with half a business brain and a pub within about 50 miles of the O2 would have booked a Zep tribute band of some kind around that time. One would have thought. Maybe all the bands have gone into immediate retirement now that the real thing is back. I've seen a couple of them though and they were worth the ticket price. Which was about 2 pound 50, if I recall correctly. Worth more than the ticket price I should say then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyAds Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Dear croquet'n'cocaine, I grew up with Led being played to me by my parents. I have fond memories of being lulled to sleep by many unforgetable riffs. To be able to watch them live would be a dream come true. There are many other worthy people in this thread but maybe I've just played on a heartstring of yours to let me have them over someone else? I'm not normally this mercenary but concerts like this don't come around that often! Look forward to hearing from you, Marky Ads ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross62 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I've got a ticket. It's like being given a place in a lifeboat on the Titanic. I'm a huge Led Zep fan and this has been a dream since I first got into them when I was 15, which was a year after Bonzo died. I'm comfortable that I'm in no way a corporate hanger-on or someone who thinks they might as well go along and see what all the fuss is about this "Led Zeppelin" guy. But at the same time... I personally know people who are far more obsessed with Zep than me, have Black Dog as their phone ring tone, have a cellar full of bootlegs (I only have about ten), have t-shirts and posters, the works... and don't have a ticket. I'll get over it I reckon, but I do feel pretty bad about it at the moment, and I keep trying not to mention it too often to friends, family, colleagues, strangers on the bus, letters to the local newspaper, radio phone in shows... that sort of thing. How do other ticket holders feel?I don't have a ticket,just go will ya,tell us all about it after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Well, disregarding the fact that that post is complete gibberish, I will be going and will be having the time of my life. That doesn't mean that I can't put myself in the position of all those people that don't have a ticket though. I guess the thing all of us chosen ones have to do is to report back on every detail, try and get good pics and audio... and make sure the atmosphere is so warm and electric that the band have no alternative but to go out and do it again. Sell it? Have a word with yourself, mate. No, have a word with yourself. You post your "guilt" over being a "chosen one" (what?) and then insult the people who reply to that post. Get over yourself; your a speck in the crowd. If you report back great. If not, even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
