Anyone else on here seen them live, and what are your memories?

(I'm talking about the original foursome with Bonzo, not Page/Plant etc)

I went to the last nights gig at Earls Court in May '75 and both Knebworths in August 1979.

Nope.

But I've watched The Song Remains the Same too many times to mention.

I went to see Peter Grant's house, in East Sussex in 2012 featured in the opening scene of The Song Remains the Same (1976), unfortunately it was rather run down.....

I'm no expert but weren't Page/Plant part of the original set up, I thought they were?

Yes, along with bass player John Paul Jones (Real name John Baldwin) and drummer John Bonham.

Bonham died in 1980 after a heavy drinking spree at Page's house in Windsor aged 32.

Page and Plant reformed for a while in the 90's covering some Zeppelin material, but also new stuff.

Was it you Wacky who removed the rotor arm from your mini for security that night and lost it?

No, my 3 litre Capri....

My favourite LZ track? ' When the Levee Breaks '. Superb vocals ,even suprber guitar.

Not to mention Bonzo's drum sound on that one!

IIRC, Page put him on one of the staircase half landings at Headley Grange and placed mics at various locations in the stairwell.

Indeed..
