MisterMcLov1n Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Most of the people on this board have been to a Zeppelin concert, words cannot describe my jealousy. I seriously wish I was a teen in the seventies so I could experience what you guys have. Maybe more shows will come up in the future, but only people willing to take out a second mortgage on their house could get to one (aka not me). Well, I guess if I watch the RAH 1970 enough I'll think I'm there. *watches for 6 hours* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess if I watch the RAH 1970 enough I'll think I'm there. *watches for 6 hours* I felt the same way when I was a teen in the 80's. Some guy in his 30's heard my friend and I talking about it. He came over and said, "I couldn't help overhearing you girls, and I just wanted to say that THIS is your time. Don't miss any of it!" Now I have a daughter the same age as you and it's fun to see her discovering old bands while enjoying the new ones. But don't be jealous- it might make you miss the things that the kids will be jealous of when YOU'RE in your 30's! I DID get to see The Firm and THe Honeydrippers, so that was cool. Very good concerts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyRaven Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Actually there isn't much music that's come out in the last 20 years that I care for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I've never seen Led Zeppelin but having grown up in the 70s I can honestly say you didn't miss much. I'd say it's much more important to live in the now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistyMountain67 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 times change. music changes.

I'd just tell them MCR were horrid and only wrist cutters liked them. Just like my mum says she hated AC/DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinylcat Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 im conflicted. it would have been amazing to see led (and many other bands) in their day of course, but ive had some pretty good experiences at modern rock shows. muse for one puts on a spectacular performance. flogging molly is a rollicking good time too. ps: my mom says she saw led zeppelin and pink floyd when she was young, but doesnt really remember the shows and doesnt really care to. wtf?!

Cactus Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Nostalgia is a dangerous thing as it can distract you from what is happening now...if you always look backwards you forget about progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyRaven Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Umm, some progress has made us worse off than we were before. Look at all the pollution we have today and some modern products which are jokes compared to their older counter parts eg. Michigan made cars.

Look at all the pollution we have today and some modern products which are jokes compared to their older counter parts eg. Michigan made cars. What I am saying is, if you sit around thinking about how great old cars were, but not doing anything to change modern cars, then you have achieved nothing. Use the past to learn from our mistakes, and to know what was good and what was not, but don't look back so much into the past that you forget to do something about the future. I think others had hit onto an important point too - nostalgia makes things seem really important now, when at the time they may not have seemed so important. That is why I am saying, great, enjoy the past, study it, but don't do it at the expense of the present and the future. Because you won't necessarily know right away that something important is happening now, you will only know in hindsight. And by that time you will either be sad that you weren't paying attention because you were listening to Zep all day, or you will be glad that you were paying some attention to the present too.

- deh. Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I also want a time machine! My parents never saw Led Zeppelin. They never came to play here in Brazil (only Robert and Jimmy in 1996 but I was 4 years old). My dad was always a gunner, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes true, you have to be the change you want to see in the world. Sometimes it means doing things that are not seen as being popular by many people. For me it is ignoring pop culture I don't want to be a part of because I don't like it and embracing what I do like. There are some things best left untouched and ignored, eg, emo music, the come back of horrid 80's fashions, disposable and wasteful products so much a part of modern life at the moment. Change can start as something as simple as that, it only takes one person to start a revolution. Why do something you don't like and don't want to be a part of? Being to focused on the future can have deadly effects- would you like to see another mass extermination of people like what happened during Holocust, just because some people became to jaded and dismissed it all? Just a though- there are many trends today I don't want to be a part of just because I don't like them and don't believe in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyMerkin Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I got the strange feeling that if thepeople who complain that today's music is shit and how they would have loved to live in the 60s/70s had lived in the 60s/70s, they would have moaned about how terrible all that "new" 60s/70s music was and how much they'd loved to have been around in the 1950s.

It's more likely to be the minority than the majority. And as other people have said, you should live in the now! Embrace your own generation...there's no point on just dwelling on a fantasy like that. Well, of course some fantasies are great fun when dwelled on for a few minutes ( ), but don't get too bogged down with a silly idea that will never happen! There's plenty of great stuff that's going on now - enjoy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*I*LOVE*JIMMY!! Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The 70's were the best ten years of my life, I feel so lucky to have experienced it. Led Zeppelin and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
