    Default So Led Zeppelin were good tonight

    ..... I have pretty much just got home from the gig, and wow yeah, if you didn't manage to get tickets through the lottery I aint gonna sugar coat it for you - it was AMAZING

    My friends - yes friends, my two best friends both got drawn in the lottery and got two tickets each - and I watched all the classics, stairway to heaven was as magical as ever. I won the sweepstakes with my mates over the first song, can anyone guess? It was pretty obvious to me.

    Anyway, don't wanna rub it in, but just thought I would say, it was damn good - although Page was on some serious drugs for sure, he was all over the place, literally drooling as he played and did not look well - as I am sure you will see in the pics from the night - but his playing was as supreme as ever. And Plant's voice - man, better than recordings of live stuff have heard before, he didn't miss a beat and it was strong.

    What a gig, I am one happy guy, we were 8 people from the front too, oh my it was good.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    You make me rather jealous, glad you got to hear them!!!

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    Review of the act, with pictures. Looks like they're aging pretty well.

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    Awesome ! I havent had a chance to surf much today at work so I'd be obliged if you could (or anyone really) provide a song list.

    There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

    My favorite band. I would have paid a lot of money to be there.

    Im glad they put some effort into it - if you're going to come back, come back big.
