Led Zeppelin Resuscitates in London its Legend

Twenty-seven years after their disappearance, Led Zeppelin resuscitated today in London its legend with a masterful review to some of the big classics of the history of the rock like 'Starway To Heaven' (1971) or 'Whole Lotta Love' (1969).

Not they defrauded. With many more featherfews than in the past, an austere image of almost rigorous black, far from the 'look' wild-type of final of the 60 but with the same forcefulness, the British group signed with excellent an unmistakable legacy in a majestic return to the scenarios.

They returned to the big thing, before some 18.000 people that crammed tonight O2 London Sand. There it was heard Robert's special voice again Plant, the harrowing and unmistakable 'riff' with Jimmy's double guitar Page; to a John Paul Jones in plenum abilities with the first floor and the keypads and occupying the place that wasted John left Bonham, his son Jason that knew how to be more than to the height in the battery.

A concert homage went to Ahmet Ertegun, the man that founded the konseal American discográfico Atlantic Records and that it bet in 1968 on the potential of the Britons, transforming them into the first rock band that registered for a discográfica specialized in soul groups and R&B.

Although they were Plant, Page, Jones and Bonham 'júnior' those that led the British tribute to the 60 years of career of Ertegun, deceased to the 83 years in December of the 2006, had exception foreword. In O2 Sand they were giant as Bill Wyman, former Rolling Stone, the group Foreigner or Paul Rogers but also young musicians like the Scottish singer Paolo Nutini that made versions of Ray Charles ('Mess Around') and Nancy Sinatra ('Bang Bang').

Tonight, almost three decades after that the excesses with the alcohol to those that John accustomed Bonham - it died in 1980 after ingesting anything less than 40 chupitos of vodka - they put point and final to the quartet, Led Zeppelin cleaned the same ingredients that lifted up to the music's Olympus.

Again it was heard their efficient adjunction of the hard rock, the mysticism of their letters and the brushstrokes 'blue' and folk of their music that you/they lit to an auditory of nostalgic that chanted all the topics almost, some of the first album, Led Zeppelin I, as 'Good Time bad Time' that opened the show or the topic Gothic blue of 'Dazed And Confused.'

Neither Jason disappointed Bonham in a moment qualified by him same as 'definitional.' The musician made resuscitate his father's hands, of the one that waited, he said that him 'something whispered to the hearing.' And it owed book credit been this way.

They threshed other unforgettable songs of Led Zeppelin II (October 22 1969) with 'Ramble On', framed in a decoration in which the images of the musicians left superimposing in geometric, blank and black funds, in sour and electric shades.

But London also vibrated with tunes setenteras like 'Since I've Been Loving You' (Led Zeppelin III, 1970), a dark and sexy but also magic and elegant topic, for the one that today the Britons chose to dye of red the giant screen that framed the scenario.

Jimmy's wild-type riff Page in 'Black Dog' (1971) or the always reminiscent 'Starway To Heaven' - Led Zeppelin IV (1971) - they transported to the British liking.

This last, almost the contemporary music's hymn, supposed, predictably, one of the algid moments of the night. The eight minutes that the song lasts passed flying and Zeppelin recreated like years ago the progression of the song and its estremecedor scanned from the softest chords until the efficient sound of a harrowing battery (to debit memorandum, today, of Bonham 'junior'). Without forgetting, clear, the exceptional one alone of guitar of Page.

There was time for the improvisation, and even to enter a new topic. It was at this time, in the first part of the concert, when Plant, very talkative with those congregated, it counted to the audience that were come to mind 'thousands and thousands of memories' and he/she appreciated the fact of 'to have Jason in the group.'

The cherry of the cake put it with psychedelic Kashmir (Physical Graffiti, 1975), a sonic boast in which its imposing soloist shone.

Acclaimed by the public's requirements, Led Zeppelin had to walk twice more on stage. They returned at 1969 with 'TO Whole Lotta Love' and they culminated this exceptional meeting with their accent mark more rock in 'Rock And Roll.'

They were two hours of authentic ecstasy for a considered group the best in the decade of the 70. For many, also, the best formation in rock of the music's history.
