Led Zeppelin rocking the scene again
by Zuzana Moravcova


The British gods of the 70's rock music scene came to perform an incredible show after years at the London's O2 Arena on November 26th. Having been approached by the widow of Ahmet Ertegun, the late record company executive, who signed the band in 1968, to organize a tribute concert, the surviving members of Led Zeppelin â€" Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, also with Jason Bonham, son of the former drummer John Bonham, assembled in a studio in June and decided to perform a two-hour reunion concert in few months. The show featured warm-up contributions from Billy Wyman's Rhythm Stars, Pete Townshend, Foreigner and Paolo Nutini. The fans were blown away when the lead singer, Robert Plant, 59, kicked off this eagerly anticipated gig singing "Good Times Bad Times". A grey-haired Jimmy Page, 63, reminded the world why he has been considered one of the world guitar greats, while John Paul Jones, 61, showed his versatility jumping from bass to keyboards. Instead of the former drummer of the band, John Bonham, who died in 1980 after a drinking binge, his son Jason Bonham completed the formation on drums. Led Zeppelin played the most amazing masterpieces such as "Stairway to Heaven," "Kashmir" and "Whole Lotta Love" as passionately as less known tracks "In My Time of Dying" and "For Your Life," which they played live for the first time. According to many fans, Led Zeppelin sounded even better than in their hell-raising heyday of the 1970s, which was, regarding their qualities, hard to imagine anyway.
