Page and Jones join Foo Fighters on stage

Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joined Foo Fighters for two Led Zeppelin tracks during the band's second Wembley show at the weekend.

Led Zeppelin members Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joined Foo Fighters for a couple of tracks during the second of the Foo's two appearances at Wembley at the weekend. The assembled musicians performed Led Zeppelin tracks 'Rock and Roll' and 'Ramble On'. Introducing the musicians, Foo frontman Dave Grohl said: "Tonight playing here at Wembley Stadium is an honour and if we didn't take advantage of this opportunity we'd be crazy. We knew from the beginning this wasn't going to be another outdoor show, we have been planning this for six months so we would like to welcome Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones onstage."

Earlier in the set, he'd promised "We are going to do something special tonight that we have never done before. Tonight this will be the show we are talking about for the next 20 years."

Which only seems like a slight exaggeration. I suppose extremely happy Led Zeppelin/Foo Fighters fans, lucky enough to be there on the night might, conceivably might be talking about this in two decades' time. But I won't.
