I suppose this might as well serve as the thread for the reunion. Post any links to footage from the show and setlists or reviews, I suppose.

Also, does anyone know when the show starts, so I can estimate when to start looking for stuff?

Damn. Van Halen and now The Gods themselves... Now if Glen and Jerry would just stop being douches....

Well the Melium Sadium Concert is Monday, long ago sold out, for Charity.

Yep, that I knew, but any idea when in the day on Monday? My Google-fu is weak.

Let's hear it for Jason Bonham the Peacemaker...

Okay, curtain time was 41 minutes ago, and according to an nme blog we'll start seeing the setlist at 5 EST, but they're down atm.

EDIT: Local radio just announced that the first song played was "Good Times Bad Times." Still no other word.

EDIT THE SECOND: I read earlier that Page confirmed that they would play a song they had never played live before. That is not, however, Good Times Bad Times, which was played as part of "Communication Breakdown," "How Many More Times," and "Whole Lotta Love" medleys over the years, as well as by itself during their first tour of Scandinavia.

EDIT THE THIRD: SETLIST IS OUT!

Good Times Bad Times
Ramble On
Black Dog
In My Time of Dying
For Your Life- This is the song never played live before.
Trampled Underfoot
Nobody's Fault but Mine
No Quarter
Since I've been Loving You
Dazed and Confused
Stairway to Heaven- frick yeah
The Song Remains the Same
Misty Mountain Hop
Kashmir
Whole Lotta Love
Rock and Roll

And that brings the final reunion of Led Zeppelin to a close. If anyone sees any YouTube videos, keep your eyes peeled.

Okay, this post is for YouTube links.

First footage is out, about thirty seconds of Black Dog in a newscast.

Plant sounds very, very good. A positive sign.

A bit of a cleaner cut of Black Dog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztCR6n5U ... h_response

First verse? Not so hot. Second one? Awesome.

No Immigrant Song? That's the best show-opening song, as far as I'm concerned. And what about Heartbreaker, or Over The Hills and Far Away, or Going to California?

And as for the never before played, I'd have preferred When The Levee Breaks (just put some reverb on the drums, and it should work nicely). Oh well.

Well, they did play When the Levee Breaks before, at two concerts in 1975 when page broke his finger so they couldn't play Dazed and Confused. But that's just semantics.

Page played a version of Heartbreaker with the Black Crowes a few years ago, and it's not particularly appealing. I'm pretty happy with the setlist as stands.

YouTube is undergoing maintainence at 10, I wouldn't be surprised if footage doesn't surface until after then.

it's been six hours since curtaintime, videos have to start emerging soon.

Let us bow before the Golden Gods. There are other videos of course, but that one probably drives the point home best of all. They're back.

Plant's voice is lower, and Jason isn't quite his father, but that was just fantastic. Page's nervousness, which derailed the 1985 show, was utterly gone.

And a review.

EDIT: And I'd say that Robert Plant's voice is still fine.

Dude. YouTube pulled those videos very quickly for TOS violations.

They've actually been taken down almost as fast as they've been going up all morning. In fact, the original link for the second one was gone by the time I hit preview.

That must have been some show. Here's hoping, praying, whatever that they do decide to tour.
