Led Zeppelin Performed With Foo Fighters

Members of Led Zeppelin collaborated with Foo Fighters at this weekend's Wembley Stadium show - after rumours were circulating the internet at the end of last week.

Last night's event (June 7th) saw Led Zep's Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joining the band for the encore at their second show at the huge venue.

The collective performed versions of two Led Zeppelin songs - 'Rock'n'Roll' and 'Ramble On'. During 'Rock'n'Roll', Dave Grohl took to the drums to allow Taylor Hawkins to sing - then during 'Ramble On', the two switched roles.

After Led Zeppelin reformed for a one-off show at London's O2 Arena last year, Dave Grohl claimed he would love to drum live with the band if they decided to tour again.

The set list for the Foo Fighters show can be read at Angryape.com.

This is awesome, but come on, the press are just trying to hype up Led Zeppelin again, getting on the bandwagon of praise built up from the concert last year. Still awesome though, like I say.

[eddy1201]

i was there and i gotta say it was the greatest night of my life. they really put on a show and it was worth every penny. bring led zepplin out was just awesome

the fact that jimmy page and john paul jones came on and did rock and roll and then ramble on with dave and taylor just cemented it as one of the greatest gigs ever.

[Mr Personality]

I was there too, the whole gig was absolutely mind-blowing. The Zeppelin boys coming on was just the cherry on a truly amazing cake.

[ValoRhoads]

The Foos never dissapoint but this is going into legendary proportions!

[CaptainJack666]

did anyone misread that article link as angry rape

[CrowLord]

They are showing some Foo Fighters related thing at 50 VUE cinemas in the UK in a couple of weeks. I hope its a reording of this gig so I can make up for not getting tickets

[kalamari]

Dave Grohl should just do what he's best at and drum rather than perpetuating his commercial frontman career... I mean all respect to the guy but I'd much rather see him do that; also I can't see Led Zep using anyone but Jason Bonham on the sticks, at least most of the time

[kd420]

WOW, first Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, now Page and Jones!! Foos must have a lot of respect from old rockers.

[MAYNARD]

Maybe a break from the new material they are workin on?

[blenk]

i still cant believe i was there was an awesome gig

[Rhys90]

I can't believe they didn't come to the Friday concert =(
(which i was at)

[break-me-in]

It was incredible. Dave Grohl cried after they were on, bless him.

[Tallman1984]

UG, was it really that hard to add "Members of" to the beginning of the title of that article? It's also strange how you would post Plant's picture on the article like he had ANYTHING to do with the performance. Again with the misleading headlines! Put the bong down and report what really happens, will you?

That BS aside, I'm happy Grohl got to live out his dream. He deserves it. Long live the Zep and the Foos.

[This1GoesTo11]

Um....might want to change this headline to "Members of Led Zeppelin Performed With Foo Fighters". You might want to replace Plan't picture with Page's or Jones'. It's always good to practice good journalism.

[tands]

man Dave Grohl is such a huge Zeppelin fan that must have just been nuts for him

[emad]

Checked.

[dimebagsmygod]

I am jealous of anyone who went. Gutting for the people who went on the Friday night.

Should have gone and seen them.

I was thinking that too . . .

[Rock God #1]

I was there the first night so we didn't get that encore.

It was a good gig...but, I think I'm right in saying that it was JUST good...not great. I don't know, it just seemed that the visual aspect of it was lacking. What did they have? A runway, a revolving stage and strip lights....that was basically it, for such a huge arena. The music was good and all...but they didn't quite capture Wembley arena for me...not until the last few songs.

A good gig by any means, but not awesome.

[DJThor]

Dave Grohl was one of the greatest drummers of all-time with Nirvana, but the Foo Fighters are just plain bad.

[The_Paranoia]

What are you guys thinking who were at the first show and didn't get to see Jimmy and John?

[the_mute]

I was offered free tickets for that, but it was bang in the middle of exams : (

[oglukem12]

wow, how awesome would it be to be the Foo Fighters! Getting to play with Zepplin, that's epic.

[foo_diddles]

Fangasm going on here. I would kill to see that. KILL!!

[Bert_Hastings]

i NEED to see this.

[SquirrelJonGoff]

what an amazing gig that was

[stueey]

I WAS THERE IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! When immy and jon step on stage i was like "whos that? That can't be jimmy page!? WTF THIS IS AMAZING!!!!"
I was more excited than the n64 kids... lol
but that show was by far the best gig i have EVER been to, and Zepplin just toppped it!

Foo Fighters are plain bad? Oh! That explins why they sold out 2 gigs too 86000 people each night?

and -1 because Slipknot blows

[MetallicaFan333]

Dude, I totally agree with you dale-banez... Anyways, I'm surprised JPJ and Page could keep up with the Foo Fighters... I love Zeppelin to death, but, they're getting to be geezers... (Nothing to do with Black Sabbath bassist, "Geezer" Butler...) So, yeah... Later...

[uhh_me?]

checked.

What the ****?! And I didn't know about those rumours before? I just hope they'll finally tour in this millenium ;x.

You were saved! Be thankful that your professor gave you exams.

Hell f-u-c-in' yea.

[jetfuel495]

Dude, not funny anymore.
But damn, Wish I was there! But I'm a little confused of the tracks they played? Both songs are truely great,
especially rock'n'roll, but they should have played some others like Moby Dick or Immigrant song. thata been killer!

[Moonman13]

amazing, this makes the world seem just a little smaller to me

[srvman]

id quite happily say that saturday was probably the best gig ive been to in a while...

[rocabillyrollup]

I went to see Foo Fighters last Tuesday in Manchester even though I had a 2 hour history, and a 1 and 45 minutes english paper the next day

I got home at 2am

I am badass no?

[Godbe]

This was an amazing concert. I feel pretty lucky that my friend offered me a spare ticket to go see it. everything about the night was awesome (Drew's triangle solo anyone?) and the Led Zep collaboration topped it all off

[Infamou$17]

Dave Grohl drumming for Zeppelin would be perfect... bet that was the most insane gig Wembley's ever seen

[rancidryan]

muse at Wembley Stadium > foo fighters at Wembley Stadium

in my opinion

[Garci]

Am I the only one who thinks it's kind of stupid to put a picture of Robert Plant when only Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones were there?

I went and I've got exams. You lose. I'd hate to be someone who went of the Friday though...

[the_mute]

Each to their own. I live 300 + miles away from London, I couldn't really justify the travel time.

[Neon D-von]

Epic. Absolutely epic. Wish I was there...I got lower level tickets to a Foo concert in July!!!...but not with Jimmy Page or John Paul Jones

i agree. i also find it stupid how they hype it as 'Led Zeppelin' being there when it is only two members.....

[Fusanti_RHCP]

It's a sign from God...Zeppelin needs to go on a world tour. Or i'll cry

[Intersting]

yeah....Zeppelin was there...guess what??? One third of Nirvana played with them too!!!!

[Kawk]

I find it funny that the picture they have, representing Led Zeppelin, is a picture of the only surviving member not at the gig.

i went to both

[Ozzyos1]

that singer locks a teother

[frusciante39]

i went to muse and foos and foo fighters absolutely owned. In fact, that gig shat on anything I've ever seen another band do and i don't think there's any point in anybody playing live again because the perfect gig just happened

and it still would have been that good without led zep

greatest night of mine (and apparantly Dave Grohl's) life

[frusciante39]

it appers i need to build a time machine so i can go back and go see this concert because lets face it led zepplin won't come to calgary even if they go on tour and i am never gonna get to see them

couldn't you just go to somewhere good (like good 'ol laaaaandan town) to see them?

good ****ing job by UG for using a picture of the one member of Led ZEp who wasnt there for this article

another stroke of genius guys

or maybe just a stroke

LOL, a brain stroke.
But I can only imagine how epic this gig would have been. I nearly pissed my pants when I saw them in Sydney...can only imagine how awesome Led Zep and the Foos on stage together would have been.

Anyway, this sounds gooood.
I'm by no means a big Foos fan but I'd have payed a fair amount money to seem them at Wembley with Triangle solos, Page and JPJ.
Fair play for somehow getting the two to play with them.

[emad]

Checked!

[deadlyMETAL]

CaptainJack666 wrote:

Id kick you in the face.

Maybe Zep and Foos are close friends or something? A few years ago, Dave and Taylor covered Stairway to Heaven on Saturday Night Live (youtube it!), and the first several notes to The Pretender are the same first few notes to Stairway....

[alexmascart]

I was there,l it was ****in awsome man. The best thing evr!!

[alexmascart]

awsome...

[Neurie]

I was there right at front by the run way, it was crazy down there a few peopel got egected for fighting(not sure how amny of those got arrested as there wa sa HUGE police presence afterwards).

The nigth was awesome, the support(the future heads and supergrass) were mediocre at best but the Foo's rocked it out and Zep just blew it through the roof. A few people ahd already left on the saturday by the time the Zep boys got on stage( shame on them) and they also missed the huge fireworks display that was put on afterwards.

Dave even cried alittle during the final song best of you after playing with the lads and said it was his best ever gig and happiest night of his life.

I feel soo sorry for those who went on Friday.

[David_Bowie=GOD]

I wish I was there, would have been best show ever. The Foo Fighters and the legendary Led Zeppelin!!! I would pay any amount for a ticket to see that show.

[thethrupnybits]

possibly the best gig in the world!!!!!

to see the foos live was one thing..but half of led zep to join them was just a dream come true. :-D
