According to Jason Gregory from Gigwise.com, LED ZEPPELIN frontman Robert Plant has said that he has nothing but bad memories about the band's previous reunion shows.
Speaking ahead of the band’s one-off show at the O2 Arena in London next Monday (December 10th), Plant described their show at Live Aid in 1985 as a “fucking atrocity” and their performance at Atlantic Records’ 40th Birthday in 1988 as “foul.”
Despite his bad memories, the band have rehearsed a meticulous two hour set list for Monday’s show.
The concert, which attracted over 1 million applicants for just 20,000 tickets, is being held in tribute to Ahmet Ertegun, co-founder of Atlantic Records.
“I’m humbled by the way the people have responded,” Plant told the Sun, “because there’s a billion people who’d like a hit at what they’d most like to do in life.”Monday’s line-up will feature Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham, the son of John Bonham – the band’s original drummer.
