I was just thinking of the mass crowds that will probably descend on the arena in london. just wondering if the planners of this event are thinking of this or have already thought it out. 20 million plus people want tickets to one show and only 14,500 to be sold. i know myself even with a sold out show i always go to the arena and try and get tickets. so even if a small fraction of the 20 million people attempt this. there is going to be mass chaos out there. probably to the likes that has never been seen before. even if half a million people show up that would be double the amount of woodstock 69.
Oh dear dad
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me

    Heh....as long as it's quaint.

    But really, a nice Euro/NorthAmerican tour would be just swell.

    hell yeah it would be!
    no matter where they go it's guaranteed to be chaotic but at least if there were a bunch of dates scheduled there might not be such a mass migration of people all showing up at one place! it's going to be very interesting to see how they planned this thing. are they sealing off part of the city and flying ticket holders in or what?

    So centric, I'm thinking a regional tour of Australia would be much more appropriate. Small rooms like the Great Northern Hotel at Byron.

    They should play one outdoor gig on a 500,000-acre farm/ranch, give 8-12 months notice, and sell admission to every last person who would buy it.

    Everyone who wanted to go would have time to plan, save, and travel.

    Then they could quit and not tease us with reunions anymore. ;)

    it's going to be interesting to see how they pull this off.

    they should play wembley stadium instead. obviously not an intimate setting but i bet it would still sell out easy.

    My brother saw them live at Knebworth in 1979, and says he got the impression that the combination of media espectation of them being a pile of past-it shit, plus a load of fans, made them play a blindingly good gig. Okay, Bonzo's not there now, but I reckon the old fellas would really do a top gig at Wembley Stadium, with V-signs flashing at the cynics.

    There were over a million people at Woodstock 1969 (the only Woodstock that matters). The official estimates were around 500,000, but we know the authorities at least half crowd estimates.


    PS Have you ever been to London? It's surveillance city. Plus: a bunch of straggly haired wankers vs. 10 million commuters in suits? The hippies are going to get killed!

    it will be the single-most overrated concert of my lifetime....they're just not what they once were. I hope Pearl Jam doesn't pull stunts like this when they are past their prime....nobody wants to see 60-70 year old men reliving their youth! They're should jump on the state fair circuit.

    nobody wants to see them huh? only 20 million for one show and it's for a benefit they don't need to play anywhere and they all are still great. plant might not be able to reach the extreme highs he once did but they are still 3 guys from the greatest rock band of all history..show some respect to your elders.

    the best thing about this is that John Paul Jones will be there to hold the show together - check out some of the footage from the festival he played recently, jammed with ben harper and a few others and he was fantastic!

    The only big question I have is about Bonzo's son. From what I have heard he is an average/good drummer, but his dad is a GOD.

    Plant can't bring it like he used to, for sure, but he won't try to either, which will help immensely

    Page-can't play like he used to, but it's not like he is gonna suck. Old men can play guitar.

    Jonesy will be himself. I dunno if that guy ever hit a bad note. Most tasteful bassist in rock history

    I think a tour is a real possibility if the gig goes well.

    Plant is working with Alison Krauss so i doubt it. I'm really hoping that even if Plant doesnt stick around, Jones and Page do something together. The best guitar/bass combination in the history of rock

    I think they might receive some offers they cant refuse if the gig gets good reviews-then we can look forward to another nostalgia tour with $300 seats

    it all depends on how the gig goes.
