Yeah yeah, Led Zeppelin performed live….
The race for a ticket a ticket became such a reality show. Weddings rescheduled, funerals postponed, births put on hold. 20 lucky Israelis managed to get a chance to squeeze in between 20,000 lucky fans. The big prize? 4 old geezers (sorry, 3 and a decedent) recycling old records from the 70s.
I haven’t been to the show and it might as well have been a great show. I, too, grew up listening to Led Zep. I, too, felt the enlightenment when I was kicked out of a guitar store for playing Stairway to Heaven. But with all due respect, Led Zep were not a romantic band but a commercialized organization. I would have been happy to have seen them playing again, mostly for pure curiosity, but to me this specific concert is a big joke.
So what point am I trying to make?
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant are aging musicians with more money than they will ever need. Their legacy was sort of ok just the way it was. Young teenagers still play ‘Stairway’, People in my age group still listen to ’Kashmir’ and ‘All of My Love’ and Baby Boomers can still name every track that was published on Led Zep I-IV.
Their new addition to that legacy is a single VIP concert followed by a DVD collection. Wow.
Led Zep is one of a few groups that can actually do whatever the hell they wish to do. They could have broadcasted the concert for free on the internet and to 180 countries on live TV. Why not? They could have released the DVD on the official website. Make a wide impact on the industry. Why not?
But they chose more money instead. Whatever.
