For me, they haven't lived up to expectations, and age has little to do with it. I saw Townshend and Daltrey in Verona, who, if I'm not mistaken, are a bit older and were fantastic (without the more technical and flashy rhythm section that I remember since the days of the Cream). I’ve seen the Rolling Stones twice, and despite the nonsense and the commercialization, Jagger is still Jagger and commands the stage as he always has, even with a few more years compared to Plant & company. I witnessed the reunion of Pink Floyd, and it moved me; they are very old as well, but still meticulous in everything. I saw the Cream reunion in 2005 (this time via the internet), and it made me feel pity, just like that of the Zeppelin. The fan perspective matters little. I’m a huge fan of Led Zeppelin; Page has been the most influential guitarist on my way of playing, but I’m also objective, and when a show or album doesn’t appeal to me, there’s nothing to be done, just like with "In Through the Out Door" from 1979. Moreover, I think I recently read somewhere (and surely here on Debaser) that Led Zeppelin has always been commercial, and that makes me think about the fact that they didn’t rely on radio programming and that they must have released only a couple of singles.

Come on, I've said what I had to say. Just because some time ago they went searching for everything to see if and to what extent these rumors about plagiarism were true.

Anyway, I've listened to "Nervous Breakdown" as well, and aside from the title, it doesn’t remind me of anything at all. For the others, I think you’re right. By the way, you forgot "How Many More Times," which in my opinion contains about ten references (or plagiarisms, call them what you will) from people like Albert King to Jimmy Reed.

You had these ready in anticipation of the next Zeppelin review, huh? Anyway, let me say that "Boogie with Stu (Oh My Head)" is not a plagiarism but a tribute to Ritchie Valens (Oh My Head is one of his songs, which incidentally heavily plagiarizes, yes, a piece by Little Richard, "Oh My Soul"), so much so that Mrs. Valensuela was added to the credits, because it seems she hadn’t received any money after her son’s death. Then that little "Hats Off to (Roy) Parker" is actually "Hats Off to (Roy) Harper." "Hey Hey What Can I Do" was never released, and that "Boogie Chillun" was included in practically all the medleys of Whole Lotta Love after the solo. And as for "Trampled Under Foot," I don't know where you found Terraplane Blues, but anyone who has listened to it even just once would realize that the plagiarism is towards Superstition by Stevie Wonder. Copying from the internet without listening, well, anyone can do that :D

I don't know if I'm making myself clear.

Yes, I confirm both things. Both about Plant and the platypus. I also add that Page's solo is ridiculous. Watching Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck play today, you wouldn't say they once played together and that one took the place of the other. And you would never think that the one who was more successful was Page. Glorious past, but now it's just a memory. I hope they get it into their heads, let alone a tour.

Anyway, this review is practically identical to the comment from the pornitortoise a few days ago. Unless my memory deceives me.

I watched a piece of yesterday's concert. A good part of "Black Dog." Saying that Plant is terrible would be a compliment. I hope to see the whole thing to judge better. Anyway, in "Mothership" they released a good portion of the concert from the Royal Albert Hall in 1970, which I believe was one of the best Led Zeppelin concerts of all time.
