We Have A Winner!

Posted Wed Nov 14, 2007 11:45am PST by Lyndsey Parker in Led Zeppelin's Return Flight

We know it was hard to purchase Led Zeppelin reunion tickets through the O2 Arena website. If you were one of the 20 million or so Zepheads who crashed O2's server, we feel your pain.

But for Samantha Claybough of Hammond, Indiana, all is not lost! Because she just won our sweepstakes to see Zeppelin perform at the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute show, December 10 at the O2 Arena in London.

Samantha has won the Zeppelin travel experience of a lifetime, including:

--two tickets to the Zeppelin show
--two coach-class roundtrip flights to London
--two nights in a London hotel
--transportation to and from the airport and concert
--two CD copies each of Led Zeppelin Mothership and the Song Remains The Same soundtrack
--$300 in fun money

And, best of all: She and a guest will attend a private dress rehearsal the day before the show.

(Omigod! WHY weren't Yahoo! employees eligible to enter? Hey Samantha, have you found someone to go with you yet?)

Congrats to Samantha--be sure to post your own congratulations (or bitter, jealous laments) below...

I have been blessed to be able to pass on my love for Zeppelins music to my kids that are 14 and 15 & 22 years old. The music is timeless and I listen to my collection at least 3 times a week. Thank you for the opportunity to win these tickets....I should be so lucky at least this one time in my 42 years....

I was there, the "famous" Tampa, Florida concert on June 3, 1977. Some of my memories of that day are fuzzy (I wonder why?). I do recall sitting for hours on the field in the heat waiting for Led Zep to start the show. They played two or three songs, then began "The Rain Song". Very soon the skies opened up with heavy rain, thunder, and lightning! The band refused to continue, the fans went nuts. The wall in front of the stage was knocked down, objects were thown towards the stage. The Tampa Police, who were in riot gear from the begining of the show, started to force the fans out of the stadium. We got out before the beatings and tear gas started. I remember the local radio telling us that the show would be recheduled for the next day. Me and my friends had stayed overnight. The next morning, the stadium was surrounded by Police. local radio was warning fans to stay away from the stadium, there was not going to be another concert! I woul love to see Led Zeppelin again.
