zep41 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 To open the 2+ hour frenzy at the O2 in two weeks, what do you think it'll be? I think from past information, a general knowledge of zep, and recent information from the band --- we can narrow it down to a possible few: Rock and Roll Train Kept a Rollin The Song Remains the Same Good Times Bad Times Houses of the Holy Wearing and Tearing Celebration Day The Wanton Song My money goes on either Rock and Roll or Good Times. HOWEVER, I have this feeling that it may be an opener we are not used to --- and seeing as how Page said that the first song they played together a few months ago was Houses of the Holy, I would not be surprised if that was it. Actually it'd make for a nice opener. Your thoughts? Do you think it will be a track not mentioned above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'm thinking "The Song Remains The Same." I'm thinking one should have to pass a search function test before being enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep41 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'm thinking one should have to pass a search function test before being enabled. if you are referring to me making this thread -- nice try, but there really isnt a thread talking about what the possibilities are and what everyone thinks. While I DID use the search function before starting this thread, i found the closest thing to my idea was someone saying the opener would be Stairway, and someone saying the opener would be Carouselambra. Thats what I found, so I didnt find it inappropriate to start this thread. I am saying, that most likely, its gonna be one of the 8 or 9 songs i listed. Which is a different idea.

Jason Bonham, while in rehearsals, said it will be Good Times Bad Times. Refer to "Set List" thread to catch up on the debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks SteveAjones, I am aware of jason's quote. However, seeing as how Page will most probably be the one to draw up the setlist order, I wouldnt take GTBT to the bank. Not saying Jason would lie, but I would only be sure of it if Page said it, and he didnt. And even if GTBT was decided as the opener when Jason gave the interview, who's to say it hasnt been changed since then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Why would anyone want to know the setlist -- don't you want to be surprised? Anyway, I have it on personal authority from Jimmy Page's cat that the opening song will be "Hot Dog"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I have it on personal authority from Jimmy Page's cat that the opening song will be "Hot Dog"! i absolutely want to be surprised. to tell you the truth i was more pissed than excited when i found out they are playing For Your Life. That would have surprised the shit out of me in a very very good way (its one of my fav guitar solos) and now I am kinda mad that I know its gonna be played. However, there's still nothing wrong with talking about what the opener might be! And like I said, while it may be true, I wouldnt take Jason's quote about GTBT to the bank.

Anyway, I have it on personal authority from Jimmy Page's cat that the opening song will be "Hot Dog"! Tosh, tosh! We all know it'll be a 76-minute rendition of Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp followed by an encore of Stairway played thrice over and then a 17-minute improvised tribute to the works of the little-known musician Wazzy Too-Monzle Kai-Chi the Eighth.

kirchzep27 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 I think opening with -the rover would great, but anything would be great...-the ocean, houses of the holy, or even a bigger song like -kashmir, like they did on the -atlantic 40th in 88. They probably wouldnt use that for an opener again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I have it on personal authority from Jimmy Page's cat that the opening song will be "Hot Dog"! I'm hoping for 'Bring It On Bone' or 'Hats Off (To Roy Barker)' but more probably it'll be 'Black Dog'. i absolutely want to be surprised. to tell you the truth i was more pissed than excited when i found out they are playing For Your Life.

I agree no one knows what the opener will be but whatever it is it will the sweetest song you've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like I said, while it may be true, I wouldnt take Jason's quote about GTBT to the bank. It's going to be 'Good Times Bad Times'. It's a perfect fit because it allows them to take the stage and get their feet wet through the opening stacatto, drum beat and bass line. Then they're on their own. There aren't any high notes in it either, which, again, affords Robert Plant an opportunity to get settled in for the night. There's a reason it won't be, say, The Immigrant Song' or 'Black Dog'.

SIBLY Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 The obvious first sung words out of RP's mouth are It's Been A Long Time Since We've Rock & Rolled but, maybe they're to obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenobs1 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The Wanton Song, although Communication Breakdown wouldn't be bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZoSo Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Jason has been Quoted, Good Times Bad Times, as Steve said. Honestly I can't see it happening. I'd think The Wanton Song is a good shot.......I'd love them to open with Rock&Roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'd think The Wanton Song is a good shot.......I'd love them to open with Rock&Roll. The Wanton Song was an opening number throughout '95. If they open with Rock And Roll the contrast between now and 1973 will be immediately striking, and not in a good way. It's Gonna Be Good Times Bad Times or Doo Doo A Do Do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Rock and Roll would be the most obvious choice and would make the most sense, but as others have said, they might want to not go down the obvious route. How about In The Evening? No one will see that coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyPage1977 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The Song Remains The Same. Just my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyPage1977 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Jason Bonham, while in rehearsals, said it will be Good Times Bad Times. Refer to "Set List" thread to catch up on the debate. Are you in the band? Debating with Jimmy and Robert? If so, I gladly bow to your knowledge. Otherwise I would think that since they have opened with it before, it is a possibility.

redeyedrichard Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm thinking it will be Rock and Roll. However, there are other possibilities. Maybe Robert opening by saying..."Good evening, 27 years goes pretty quick doesn't it!" Then Good Times Bad Times. Something powerful though. But I'm thinking Rock and Roll.

kirchzep27 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 ^ If it came down to them choosing -good times bad times or -rock and roll, i would think they'd definately go with -good times bad times. With -page/plant choosing to open with -the wanton song in 95, it was such a good choice. This being a one off show under the name -led zeppelin, it could be one of the bigger numbers that have been mentioned as an opener, or they could be focusing on it being an all electric 2 hour rock show and playing many songs they never played. Whatever it will be, it'll reflect what they have been playing in rehearsals, what sounds good to them and has got to be an interesting set list with such a catalogue of songs. Just hearing about them playing -good times bad times and -for your life is so great. Hopefully they play more material they never played, or didnt play often as -led zeppelin.

OskarGunn Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Starting with In The Light would be awesome. But respecting the tradition of Led Zeppelin it should be RnR. However starting with the first song on the first album is probably how it´s gonna be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If page/plant/jones were playing regularly again, i think -walters walk would be a good opener, it would be good to hear that one live any place in the setlist.
