The fans called it the biggest comeback in rock and roll history - Led Zep re-united at London's O2 Arena for a mamouth gig.
Our very own Matt Smith was there - but we want to know what you thought of it. Were you part of rock history last night? Did you travel 100s or even 1000s of miles to be there?
Let us know all about it (we're very jealous), and if you have any pictures, why not share them with us?!

How bitter you all are. How do you know these celebrities are not true fans or friends of Led Zeppelin?? Yes it will be true that some will have been there because they were a friend of a friend, so what, as long as they used their considerable wealth to put in a VERY generous donation to the charity. The only thing I would say is however that I did find it disrespectful that most (if not all) of the lower tier, was used for comp. tickets and that they did not not start filling up until the break before Led Zep came on, so they weren't there to watch the other acts.
Other than that I must say I had a fantastic night!!!

Very disappointed that so many Celeb's got tickets, they're probably not even true fans. Made a mockery of the night I think. Been a fan almost all my life and saw them live in 1975, don't think I'd even bother applying for tickets another time. Should have had live viewings at Cinema's over the UK, then lots more TRUE FANS could have joined the celebration and the tribute would have got more money from Cinema sales.

Best night of my life!! My eldest son who is 33 was also there, he was reared on Zeppelin. It was (oh I'm speechless) and for a 50 something grandma thats something. Didn't quite believe it till I got the wristband on. Heavenly!!!!

Get real - the promoter/organiser will always "allocate" space tickets for the "great and the good" I saw them Knebworth aged 17 and saw them at the O2 - I'm old enough now to appreciate the vocal and musical skills of a truly worldclass band. The sound system and HD projector screen were awesome - and the band were quite good too!. Not sure where 90 minutes cae from I thought t was closer to 130?!. I'm sure they will tour so get ready for the next event.

I , like so many millions of people failed to get tickets for the gig....Imagine my "surprise" when I see the likes of Paul McCartney , Mick Jagger , Liam Gallagher , Joe Elliot , Naomi Campbell , Richard Hammond...etc..etc..(you get the picture) turning up on the night...Amazing how they were so "lucky" in the "neutral ballot" that decided who got tickets....SCANDALOUS..!!!!

I don't know what all this fuss about celebraties attending this concert is. I am a celebrity and I had a great time! I had my photo taken on the way in, free drinks all night and the best seat in the house. But I must say I go a bit tired towards the end when some old rock band came on...not my cup of tea at all....so I left for the after show party early to catch up with some mates. Great night, cheers guys!

I was very dissapointed to see the vast array of celebraties rocking up to the concert. Half of them I doubt were even interested in the band, more concerned with who they could mix it up with in the after show party....shame!!

I have no doubt that all the celebrities in the audience entered the lottery "fair and square" just like everyone else and suprise suprise their numbers all came up.
Oh and I have no doubt that the moon is made of green cheese!. My consolation is that my wife actually got to see them in 1975 when my ex town folk John Bonnham from Redditch was playing.

applied for a pair of tickets,obviously my luck was down, but all the celebs was in.strange that.
Posted by: james Dec 11, 2007 11:01:44 PM
I was really lucky and got tickets in the ballot after the date change, having been so disappointed not to get them first time around...it was such a joy and a privilege to see them. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd see Led Zep play live. It was the gig of a lifetime.

Just another frustrated fan what didnt get to see last night's concert. Was there at Knebworth in 79, awsome experience then and still think about it now. Pure shame about celebs getting tickets, hopefully nothing to do with the band members?

I notice a lot of people are complaining about their lack of chance with the tickets. I was also unlucky in the ballot draw. However, being a massive fan i knew i could get to go somehow. I ended up buying a passcode from ebay and sellin the spare ticket on. In the end i paid just under 200 for my ticket after i sold the other ticket. We got in fine. A lot of people we cued with for the tickets also took the same route. The concert itself was magical. What else can i say. I am 24 and they are my heroes who i thought i would never be lucky enough to see. The whole occassion was mezmorising and a moment i will treasure for the rest of my life. Led Zep are nothing short of LEGENDS. Bring it on home!!!

Wow what a night, I was lucky to be there and will remember it all my life ....it was the best concert I have ever been to and the boys really made it, come on, who else at 63 can do what Jimmy does ! And Robert, John and Jason, absolutely awesome ! It will be in my mind FOREVER ! Led Zep still can rock and roll like no other band ! World Tour PLEASE !
Posted by: maggie windlesham surrey Dec 11, 2007 9:50:42 PM
I'd waited 38 years to see them and it was worth the wait. I felt as though I was watching history being made. The the tribute band in the photo on the website are Boot Led Zeppelin. If you wern't lucky enough to get tickets for the real thing yesterday then these guys are well worth seeing!

Mate came up in ballot and got me a ticket.
What a BAND!,
What A NIGHT!!,
WHAT A MATE!!!.
Absolutly FANTASTIC. One of the best concerts I have ever seen.
Posted by: Dave, Ripley, Derbyshire Dec 11, 2007 6:15:00 PM
Brilliant an absolute privellage to have been there I still can't beleive it a tight sound and great performances by all. Paul Rodgers "All Right Now" also went down well and rightly so.
Consider not one ticket tout at the gig! All major concerts should be managed this way it gives every one an equal footing and stops proifiteering by touts who's only interest is profit. Why should soemone who has set up 2500+ mail accounts be permitted to obtain tickets that stops real fans from obtaining them?
Thank you Led Zeppelin for a spectacular gig and respect to Harvey Goldsmith for having the courage of his convictions to stop the touts.

NO SORRY I WASNT THERE BUT IT NEEDS PUTTING IN PERSPECTIVE!!!
I used to live in the same area as Mr Plant and have to say he does loads for musics up and comers at the local college.
But the best is when you see him in the local supermarket to his home pcking the shopping in the carrier bags with the wife. As i live and breath its true and no one takes a blind bit of notice,he could just be some guy with long straggly hair.
No aura at all,a true star i suppose

Absolutely sickening to see so many "celebrities" there when true fans, willing to pay good money had to be part of the lottery for tickets. What does Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell know, or care about Led Zeppelin? About as much as Angelina Jolie knows about Ricky Hatton I should imagine.

tickets....we had NO chance ...old boys did ...( blowed if I`m not an old boy ...AHHH! not that sort )....you got contacts ,you a up and coming,you an old song maker.you are ok...but us WORKING CLASS HEROES ..we had a 10 million to 1 shot...but all the bands mates got in ( good for the ,not that most of them couldn`t pay for a weeks private show for ther families...but us muppets...say no more .///I might insult the rich...

knebworth was A1 ,and all the band was there ..the real Led Zepplin(not that this wasn`t good ,BUT Knebworth was the last of led zep for real...AND I SAW IT )
Posted by: mark at hastings Dec 11, 2007 3:51:02 PM
I was lucky enough to come up in the ballot.
Zeppelin completely blew me away! I did go with some trepidation, worried that they couldn't possibly live up to the hype of this event.
Robert Plant seemd to start a little shaky, avoiding the high notes in the first two songs. However it seemed that he was just warming his voice up because pretty soon he was hitting the same high notes like it was the early 70's all over again.
The musicianship displayed by all 4 was superb and flawless.
Jason Bonham totally lived up to his father's legend and should be a very proud man today.
In short this was the single best concert I have ever had the privilege to attend.It was worth every single penny of the ticket price. Honoured to have been there to witness such a monumental event.

I saw them at knebworth 79 hope a few of the younger generation got tickets and can now spread the word

Posted by: j t matthews staffs Dec 11, 2007 1:54:21 PM
I saw them in 1977 and I would have given anything to see them last night. If there is a world tour I will be there!
