And for my 900th post on ROUTE 1, I will...

... reveal the four steps I took to vicariously enjoy tonight's LED ZEPPELIN reunion gig at London's O2 Arena, even as I sat on the floor in front of my computer, thousands of miles away.
1) I cued up my BIG Led Zeppelin iTunes playlist -- 85 songs and more than seven hours of music. It's basically all the studio albums in chronological order, only I took the odds-and-ends songs from "Coda" and sprinkled them after the albums during which their recording sessions took place.
2) I read bits of Keith Shadwick's great "Led Zeppelin: The Story of a Band and Their Music 1968-1980." It's such a wonderful Led Zep resource.
3) I took the Guardian newspaper's online Led Zeppelin quiz. Is it too boastful to announce I scored a perfect eight out of eight? Too bad. I RULE!
4) I watched the NME Web site as they unveiled the set list from tonight's gig as it happened. Without further ado:
"Good Times Bad Times"
"Ramble On"
"Black Dog"
"In My Time of Dying"
"For Your Life" (A surprise from the lads, giving this song its live debut!)
"Trampled Under Foot"
"Nobody's Fault But Mine"
"No Quarter"
"Since I've Been Loving You"
"Dazed and Confused"
"Stairway to Heaven"
"The Song Remains the Same"
"Misty Mountain Hop"
"Kashmir"
--------------
(encore)
"Whole Lotta Love"
"Rock and Roll"
