Led Zeppelin To Play Epic Set Two Hours Long At London 02 Arena On December 10
The Led Zeppelin reunion gig is only a few days away now, with it’s rescheduled date of December 10 approaching fast.
Jimmy Page has now promised those people fortunate enough to have got tickets a great show.
He spoke to Q magazine about the forthcoming concert, and revealed some nuggets of information about what ticket holders can expect on the night:
“When we were first asked to do this (reunion show), we were asked to play a 40-minute set. We soon realised we couldn’t.”
“If we go out and play ‘No Quarter’, ‘Moby Dick’ and ‘Dazed And Confused’ with all the solos, you’re already talking over an hour.”
“We’ve gone from 75 minutes to 90, to the best part of two hours.”
“There’s no way I can take on playing three-and-a-half-hour sets now.
“Flying against the wind and the storms, because I just don’t have that energy any more. But I’ve still got enough in me to get through a two-hour set.”
If Zep HAD just played for 40 minutes, I think there would have been a lot of very disappointed fans present, so the fact they are going to get an almost full set of two hours is incredibly good news.

this reminds me. I was watching tv tonight and walmart was advertising the mothership cd set and they said “The Very Best Of Led Zeppelin” and it got me thinking….the only way this could be the very best of Led Zeppelin would be if it was a 6 disc set with complete cd’s Led Zeppelin 1 through 4, Houses of the holy and Physical Graphitti. To me every song on everyone of those albums is the best of zeppelin.

My parents were there and they called me during Stairway to Heaven. It sounded amazing. They said they never missed a beat and were incredible. Some guy on the tube said he is a Stones fan and had seen the Stones a handful of times. He said Zep blew them out of the water.
I wish I was there.
