A look back at the Led Zeppelin Reunion Concert that ROCKED the WORLD!

Back on December 10, 2007 I was at the O2 Arena in London and I had an opportunity to share in a magical moment in the history of Rock and Roll...the reunion of Led Zeppelin.

For myself and for many of the friends I grew up with, Led Zeppelin is on the soundtrack of our childhoods and of our lives. The night of December 10, 2007 was an amazing night for music. And an experience I hope to never to forget. What started out as surreal when I was able to walk around backstage before the concert and literally “hang out” with the artists, managers, and just about everyone associated with the event, to the time I walked into the O2 for soundcheck, and then to the time I decided to give up my seat in exchange to stand in the front line with the people who had General Admission, nothing prepared me for the amazing night of music that I experienced.

The show brought together people from 50 countries. Standing around me was an American from Iraq, a couple from Chicago, a man from Birmingham, a person from Australia and a person whose parents didn’t let them go to see Led Zeppelin in 1977 at Madison Square Garden when they were 12 years old. There seem one thing we all had in common…a love for Rock and Roll and the music and the memories Led Zeppelin gave to all of us.
