| has anyone else registered for this? I did today but with it being a ballot the chances are slim that I would get a ticket, have to try these things though as it will be an amazing night I bet! |

| I've just heard on BBC Radio 4 that 80,000 people per minute are trying to book - but also that a guy from 'Record Collector' magazine thinks that the one-off show at the O2 Arena on 26 November could turn out to be a taster for a tour. It will be interesting to see if they do 'Stairway' - I gather that Mr Plant has declined to perform that one for many years now. But I'll be really disappointed if they don't do 'House/Motel'.

Register at http://www.ahmettribute.com/
The registration ends at 12 midday Monday but I think it might have been extended. |

The November edition of UNCUT magazine carries an in depth interview with Robert Plant concerning what he calls, that "one last show". |

| boy Ertegun signed the guys in Led Zep and Robert for $200,000, not bad...Ahmet was some judge of talent, eh?...And Mr.Plant is a connoissieur of all kinds of music now and back to the early days.. would be nice if he did a cover of a Love song... |

| Yes, Ahmet showed great vision there - especially when you remember that not long before Led Zep had been performing to bemused audiences as 'The New Yardbirds'. Another good example of a very sound investment on his part was Buffalo Springfield. Talent spotting must have been in overdrive back then. We are all grateful to Jack Holzman for signing first, Love and then The Doors to Elektra - but he had let The Byrds slip away to Columbia a year or two before. Mind you of course, that was probably not quite as bad as the huge mistake that Decca (London) Records had made in 1962 - I gather that they have been apologising ever since - although of course they did eventually get the Stones instead! |

| yeah..Ertegun was pretty good..I guess he just intuitively knew about musical talent...right, some of those now nameless record guys over there during '62 sure dropped the ball!..maybe they were stuck in skiffle....;-)...And I have to say I'm impressed in how Plant was so influenced by US groups. He appears to genuinely love American music. When he was here recently, he knew more about down home Louisiana music than some of the supposed music meisters! |
