One of he most unforgettable and remarkable nights of my entire life

 
Not just because I smoked some 4 grams of the most excellent weed , or because I danced the last 15 km back to my house, but because Led Zeppelin added an experience to my life which still makes me happy, each and every single time I think back to it (which happens a lot!)
I'm 62 now and still feel so privileged I was there that night at Ahoy and I can't thank you enough for that,Robert,Jimmy, John and John Paul !
And yes....I do remember the echo of the forrest

I was at this concert, man! The best Live Show and Rock Band in the Universe! Even made some great 500mm plus converter lens shots! Best photos of the band I ever made. A night never to forget! It was a Full House, and half way through the gig, people were still flooding in! Thank you Led Zeppelin for the Great Concert, and the last show I witnessed with our dear John Bonham: May he rest in Peace! Bottoms Up...fellas! Edward....

I wasn't there. I wasn't even born. But if you guys make another presentation in the US, I'd do anything to be there.
I have a lot of your DVDs and I think you guys are the most wonderful band that has ever exist.

I wasn't at this concert. I was 12 years old in California, but I have seen Plant every solo tour. Saw Page with Paul Rodgers in the Firm both tours in 85 and 86. Saw Page solo with Jason Bonham in Los Angeles 1988. I also saw the Page/Plant tour in 96 at the Hollywood Bowl. But I never saw Zeppelin. I have seen the Song Remains the Same around 200 times from when it played at midnight in the theatre. But I've never seen Led Zeppelin. There is nothing like Led Zeppelin and there never will be. I never got to see Led Zeppelin. But I continue to wait. Robert, can you hear me? You like to do new things. You always have. That is cool. Wouldn't making new music with Led Zeppelin be new? Couldn't it be new?

Loud. Very Loud. In the upper ring the sound was not that well. But however, I was there. I saw my musical heroes. And they will ever be. Zeppelin is a way of feeling.

Didn't Bob mention the bus from Worcester? I seem to remember him saying that. Brilliant gig. I wish I hadn't given away my tour T-shirt to my nephew.

Trampled Underfoot for me is at it's best in the 1980 shows, the version from Frankfurt is a must listen!

Must have been a truly remarkable show as I'm sure all of Zep's performances were. I saw Robert Plant perform in Los Angeles in 1988 and he was then at the end of his Now and Zen tour, one in which Page was supposed to play lead guitar on for the songs Heaven Knows and Tall Cool One but he had some kind of scheduling conflict and did not appear. I'm 40 now and the best of Zep's music was out when I was in grade school. I still consider them to be the best of all time.
