Led Zep at O2

No-one came through with last minute offers of backstage passes or posh comps so I didn't see it, dammit.  But apparently they did well for a bunch of old guys. Rather better than some of the up-and-coming bright young things, even. Zeppelin appear to have given the lie to the idea that rock 'n' roll is exclusively a young person's game. And however old they were, they were apparently dignified, as well as tight.
Few folk from Tin Pan Alley went for what has to have been the biggest gig of the year; perhaps even the biggest of the decade.
I saw Zeppelin twice: in '75 and '79. If they do tour I suppose I'll drag my tired carcase over to wherever they perform and do my best to remember what it was like being a thirteen year old fan.
Still have to check out the Dylan movie too.
