The Zeppelin Has Landed

Led Zeppelin played their reunion show last night in London England and from the rave reviews, no one was disappointed.

Here’s an interesting stat which relates to me: “An estimated nine million people applied for the 18,000 tickets.”

I’m going to assume that considering that everyone who won a ticket actually one the chance to buy two tickets, that means that there were 9,000 people out of nine million who got first round tickets.

I was one of those 9,000. So my odds were one in a million. ***updated***Scratch that. Matt pointed out that my math is way off. Let’s see…9,000 divided by 9, 000, 000…cancel those three zeros on the end so it’s 9 divided by 9, 000, cancel the nines so they are ones…1 in 1,000? Wow. That definitely doesn’t sound as good. I stick by the awesome one in a million calculation for sheer story sake!

Awww yeah!

As we all know, Mike and I decided not to go due to the hefty price tag around the holidays and it worked out for the best for us as the show was rescheduled from its original date in November to December 10 due to Jimmy Page injuring his pinky finger while gardening.

Considering the smashing concert they put on last night, I can only hope that they will be hitting up North America sometime in 2008.

Here’s the setlist:

‘Good Times Bad Times’
‘Ramble On’
‘Black Dog’
‘In My Time Of Dying’
‘For Your Life’
‘Trampled Under Foot’
‘Nobody’s Fault But Mine’
‘No Quarter’
‘Since I’ve Been Loving You’
‘Dazed And Confused’
‘Stairway To Heaven’
‘The Song Remains The Same’
‘Misty Mountain Hop’
‘Kashmir’
‘Whole Lotta Love’
‘Rock And Roll’
