This O2 arena Zeppelin gig. I trust they will be pushing the boat out this time and having better support than f**king Chas and Dave!!!!

[OrangeHopper]

Portsmouth it is.

Any other sad old gits going?

[OrangeHopper]

Mmmmm Dave Grohl ....

But not very articulate. Another very talented man that needs to use the f word very second sentence.

£30 is nothing these days.

I will be on site on Friday when I try to buy them. Hopefully I will be able to contain myself if I'm successful.

I did start a "Them Crooked Vultures" a couple of weeks back and it sank like a stone.

I thought the tickets go on sale Friday. How did you get your ticket in advance? I'm trying to decide whether to go to Portsmouth or Hammersmith or even both.

How much are the tickets?

They did a presale via the band's mailing list this morning (yes, I am a terrible fanboy), but there will be more tickets on Friday. They cost, deep breath, 30 quid each plus "booking fee". But I don't get out to see many shows these days, and this one looks good.

Didn't see your thread. But yeah, it did sink a bit didn't it. Just did a search for it. :-(

<Pogle puts 'In Your Honor [Disc 1] on, and turns it all way up to 11>

Yeah, sorry about that. I just thought that if I started a thread titled "Them Crooked Vultures" then people would just assume it was another agency rant and ignore it.

probably right.

[chef]

ok

so i've been reading this thread thinking "didn't led zep do a reunion a few years ago?"

[dang65]

I'm not jealous. They just won't be as good as they were at Knebworth.

Enjoy your evening you lucky bar steward.

I'll have to make do with the Foo Fighters next year.

..lets face it rock and rolls a young mans game...

Is it hell... the old skool bands blow the nippers of the stage.

Modern bands don't have a clue how to get a crowd fired up.

** disclaimer for the sweeping generalisation above - there are one or two current bands I'd consider seeing... not many though **

Got to be honest I saw Page and Plant in 1997 and it really wasn't that good, I think they are a bit past it now, saw The Who a few months ago and they were the same, lets face it rock and rolls a young mans game... get back to your garden Jimmy and try not to fall over this time.

I'm surprised how cheap the tickets are on eBay though.
