Found And Not Lost - Chapter 9. "Heartbreaker"

Originally posted on social media on Oct 18th, 2017.



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. :-)
