Led Zeppelin's First Reunion Show in over 20 Years

Led Zeppelin played his first full concert Monday night in London since 1980, and according to Rolling Stone Magazine's review, it was a major success. The show was perhaps the most anticipated rock reunion of our time, says reporter Ben Ratliff.

At the O2 arena, Led Zeppelin performed without John Bonham who passed away in 1980. His son, Jason, filled in with natural ease and expertise of his father's techniques.

Songs like "Good Times Bad Times," "Whole Lotta Love," and "Dazed and Confused" were played in the over two hour show with the same fervor as fans remember, but most of the songs were slowed in tempo compared to other live recordings.

The show opened with Billy Wyman's Rhythm Kings, and featured singers like Paolo Nutini and Albert Lee.

The fans showed intense excitement throughout the show, which the band had really invested in. Led Zeppelin has played short reunion sets at Live Aid in 1985, Atlantic Records' 40th Anniversary concert in '88, but this was the first full show. No further plans for a tour have been made.
