News:
Dead Zeppelin: Sorry Zep fans, but I have some bad news to share. "Led Zeppelin are over," says Jimmy Page's manager, Peter Mensch, according to a report published at Music Radar. It's a stunning reversal from Mensch's announcement in yesterday's NME that the band was auditioning potential replacements for Robert Plant for a new record and tour . In fact, it sounds like the auditioning process undid the whole thing. more >>

September
24th, 1980 - a day that lives in infamy for many Led Zeppelin
fans. It was a day when Chicago radio stations announced
that concert tickets for four November Led Zeppelin shows
would go on sale the following morning. As this was their
first U.S. tour since 1977, fans jumped at the opportunity
to see one of rock and roll's greatest bands. But in order
to see the shows, the concert tickets could only be purchased
through a special order form that would be featured the
next day in the Chicago Tribune.
On the morning of the 25th, paper outlets were
swarmed with fans eager for their chance to buy Led Zeppelin
tickets. After all, these particular concert tickets were
to be exclusively printed for this special concert series,
and would surely become an important piece of Led Zeppelin
memorabilia. However, an unexpected turn of events would
extinguish the excitement that had surrounded the city.
Fans soon got word that on the evening of September 24th
Led Zeppelin drummer, John Bonham, suffered a sudden and
tragic death. On the decision of remaining members Robert
Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, the concerts never
happened, these historical pieces of Led Zeppelin memorabilia
were never sold, and the Led Zeppelin era had come to
its untimely end. The frenzy created by news of the Led
Zeppelin tickets was gone as fast as it had come.
Six years passed while the unused concert tickets
sat in the now demolished Chicago Stadium, until Metro
Pulse, Inc. acquired the entire quantity as music memorabilia.
Today, the concert tickets are a vital piece of Led Zeppelin
memorabilia. While their worth is well noted by music
memorabilia experts, the real value comes from owning
a true piece of rock and roll history.
With nearly 30 years gone by since that fateful
day, the anticipation surrounding the sale of the Led
Zeppelin memorabilia is finally over. The remaining collector
tickets are now available to rock memorabilia fanatics
everywhere. The Led Zeppelin tickets can be acquired through
Metro Pulse, Inc. and are available in various collector
tickets editions. An important part of any music memorabilia
collection, these Led Zeppelin tickets are each issued
with a certificate of authenticity, are hand-signed and
numbered limited editions, and are guaranteed - ensuring
the integrity of your rock memorabilia compilation. The
concert tickets are rare items and are considered a tribute
to the legend and long history of Led Zeppelin and its
members: Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John
Paul Jones.
An essential addition to any collection of Led
Zeppelin memorabilia, these Led Zeppelin tickets are available
right now. But as many people say, "History repeats
itself." Don’t let these tickets pass you by
as quickly as they did for fans nearly three decades ago.
