Imagine
you're in the famous band for a decade, ending being hailed as the most
inspirational band in the world. Then it collapses; one of your best
friends dies, all falls down never to regain the monumentum. Still the
years pass by, and with the hint of luck and the smile from the gods -
for one night - you come back to the magic hut on the top of the
mountain.
18 years after Led Zeppelin was laid to rest after the unfortunate passing of John Henry Bonham, Jimmy Page and Robert
Plant came back to do an European tour - for the legions of the fans
who never had the chance to witness Led Zeppelin on stage in their
prime. As for those in attendance in Cologne, oh boy, they did get to
experience the real bombast of Zep live, during the absolutely stunning
appearance at the Bizarre Festival. Despite the absence of two original
members but with real bravado of those new young ones - Led beast was
summoned from the dead for one night only.
Jimmy, already 54 then and Robert (50) were bravely backed up by
Charlie Jones on bass and Michael Lee on drums and plainly played their
asses off. Simply glorious; and if you think it's not - well, be 50+ and
try to rock me better than they did on "Heartbreaker"! Hint: you will
FAIL, they already won. :-)
