Re: BBC Observation

[zepcrazy@xxxxxxxx]

I was also at the Midnight madness thing and I was kinda sad to see
hardly any turn out at all for the new Zep release.  Nothing against
those Metalica fans, but they thought it was a concert or something?!!  I
mean they ALL had there Metalica t-shirts on!!  I think I was the only
one to grab the new zeppelin...oh and I got me a copy of that new HANSON
also!  HANSON rocks!!  JUST A JOKE PEOPLE!!!!!

PS:  Anybody got a complete pro copy of a knebworth show they would like
to trade for 5 blank maxell XLII 90mins??  Anybody??
