A nun, a priest, a lawyer and 500 children find themselves on
the Titanic on that fateful night of April, a long time ago. At a
certain instant, of course, it inevitably hits the iceberg it was
destined to hit. The nun looks around in panic, screaming, "Save
the children!" The lawyer looks at her, then snaps, "*Fuck* the
children!" The priest adds, "Do you think there's time?"

JIMMY PAGE AND ROBERT PLANT- WORLD TOUR 1995
(AHOY, ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, JUNE 15TH 1995)
by Marcel Hubregtse
Having never seen Led Zeppelin live at work during their
glorious reign of rock, this day was the perfect opportunity to
finally catch up. You can accuse Page and Plant of a lot of
things, but not of predictability. So no "Stairway To Heaven" and
"Big Log" (Plant's huge solo hit) tonight; what we were left with
was an evening of great music and two hours of pure entertainment
and virtuoso musicianship. For me personally the greatest moments
were the hurdy gurdy solo by Nigel Eaton and the renditions of
"Since I've Been Loving You" (with the Dutch Philharmonic
Orchestra playing along on stage) and "Kashmir" (with Egyptian
musicians stealing the limelight). This show was one zenith of
great musicianship with songs such as "Thank You", "No Quarter",
"Gallow's Pole", "Whole Lotta Love" and a medley consisting of
"Calling To You" (from Plant's "Fate Of Nations" solo album),
"When The Levee Breaks", "Dazed And Confused" and some Doors
song.
Weirdly enough this concert wasn't sold out and to the people
who have missed it I can only say, "well it's your loss". One
thing I'm still wondering about after yesterday night is, what
the hell all those bloody teenaged-spoilt-rotten grungers were
doing there. It was obvious that they weren't enjoying themselves
during the songs the Orchestra and the Egyptians were playing
along and I even doubt that they enjoyed themselves during the
rest of the concert. Please let all the bikers who were there,
and were having a good time, run over those sorry-assed
depressing backpacked motherfuckers the next time around. I even
heard one of those grungers complain about the fact that he
didn't like the music (so why the fuck did he show up in the
first place then?), because it was too cheerful and that Kurt
Cobain was an infinitely better songwriter, vocalist and guitar
player. My only reply to this pathetic little wimp is, "go home,
play some Nirvana records and shoot yourself".
Enough said.
