STS regulars will remember that I expressed an interest in seeing the concert of the century. Well, guess what? Last Friday, out of the blue, I received a call from someone I have met only a few times who announced he had secured two tickets and would I like to come? An act of unsolicited generosity that totally restored my wavering faith in the human condition.
It is not often that a group comes back twenty years after their last concert and performs just as well as, if not better than, they did in their heyday. For two hours a bunch of old men made a fantastic noise. Robert Plant still has the chords to hit the top notes and Jimmy Page made it very clear why he is considered the guitar god of all time. What's more they all seem to still like each other which is more than one can say of The Eagles, The Police, The Kinks etc etc.
