Waiting For November 19, 2012

   Because that's when the Gods of Rock release their first concert album and DVD in some 27 years. It's the one-off Led Zeppelin concert held 5 years ago as a tribute to Atlantic Records guru Ahmet Ertegun at London's O2. 2 million people applied on line for one of 18 thousand tickets for the show where Zep were the headliners.
   Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones were joined on stage by Jason Bonham, the son of their late drummer John "Bonzo" Bonham, who died in 1980 after having way too much to drink and falling asleep the wrong way up.
   I've seen the You Tube trailer for the movie, which comes out next month, and if that's any indication of what "Celebration Day" was like......HOLY FUCK!!!
   Sure, the original 3 aren't as young as they were. Sure, Page's fingers aren't quite as lightning fast as they were. Sure, Plant can't hit the high notes the way he did. But WHO CARES. It's Led Zeppelin for cripes sake!
   Will I be buying the blue-ray? YES! Will I be buying the CD? YES!
   Now the only problem will be convincing the wife that we NEED a 70 inch LCD Hi-Def T.V. Oh, yeah. And a new top of the line surround sound system. That might create a bit of a problem.
   ZEPPELIN RULES!!!!!!!!!
   'Nuff said.
