I'm surprised the Chinese didn't try to replace him with a better looking look-a-like (if there is such a thing)

Vocals seemed rather reverbed to me.

I reckon he is just getting Plant back for that Kraus thing :P

That wasn't Jimmy Page, they just threw an old chinese lady with a Les Paul up there.

I thought it was awful.

Just watched it and I'm really not convinced that it was live. Page didn't seem like he was playing it - the positions all looked right but it looked like something was missing (apart from other surviving Led Zep members!)

Red buses are fine.  But to properly reflect today's London each bus should feature one or more of the following:

1. Several teenage girls screeching at each other and cackling at 150dB;
2. A glowering teenage boy or two playing sh!t-hop (or any kind of "urban" music) through the speakers on their mobile phones  (Optional additional features: Knives.  And a slobbering bull terrier called Tyson with one of those stupid studded leather chest plates);
3. Some Eastern European workers on their way to/from a late-night job where they're paid 50p an hour to handle old asbestos or some kind of toxic waste;
4. Three or four fat women with prams clustered around the bottom of the stairs;
5. A threatening-looking man sitting in the back row mumbling to himself.

As long as they don't pretend that the Beatles are anything anyone should be proud of, we should be okay.

Just a small edit Philly - they would all have fags in hand and be blowing smoke into the faces of their innocent little children.

You've got that 100% spot on.. I hate the way people act in this City but Philly - I think I love you...

Agreed Dave I think Philly should be on the team that is promoting London as there needs to be some form of truth
Goodbye London !

For a moment when I read the thread title I was wondering what event  Jimmy was competing in and then the awful truth became clear. I think they should have added a few pearly Kings and Queens to the "charade" and perhaps some chimney sweeps dancing around.
