If they come within 500 miles and tickets are less than $300/piece, I'm going. They haven't announced yet whether this was a one time thing or if they are going to go on tour. I hope they need the money.

For the first concert there was 18,000 seats and 1 million requests for tickets.




Twenty million people crashed the website when details of the gig were announced. A lucky 10,000 got tickets for the show, the band's first full set in 27 years.

You know how there are things that you are supposed to like because everyone else does but for some reason you just don't? Led Zep is one of those things for me. I mean I understand that Stairway is one of the best songs ever written. I understand that Plant is considered one of the best rock vocalists and that Page one of the best guitarists. I understand that they have influenced almost every rock musician since 1972. I'm a big fan of 70s-80s rock/metal but for some reason I just can't get into Zep. I have no idea why.

I don't like Stairway to Heaven at all but love nearly every other song they have. Have you listened to CD's like Physical Graffiti?

You are not alone. I feel the same way. I really dont like the Doors either. Some of the songs I like, but would never buy the cds.

Not that they are even similar in talent I feel the same way about Pink Floyd. I can't get into there music at all. Maybe I would need to get high or something.

Yeah, most of Floyds stuff is way out there. I like alot of the popular ones they have, but you're right, I may have missed the boat on the whole out of body experience with Floyd.

I don't get Floyd either but would say that Zep is far, far superior than Floyd ever was. To give an example, I am fully expecting to drop the 147.99 for floor Van Halen seats this Saturday morning but would probably not go to a Zep (or Floyd) show if I had free tickets. Weird I know.

I have a hard time paying more than 40 dollars per ticket to see anyone. I would rather see Van Halen though.

I believe the price of the Zeppelin tickets was in the $200 range and they were distributed via a lottery. Somebody paid more than $200,000 for a ticket.

Good grief. Why are tickets so expensive these days.
