Rock legends Led Zeppelin made a long-anticipated comeback on December 10 with a sold-out charity concert at London’s O2 arena that left fans, young and old, screaming for more.

Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham, son of late drummer John Bonham, rocked the 20,000 seat arena with more than a dozen classic songs including “Dazed and Confused,” “Black Dog” and “Stairway to Heaven.”

The one-off charity event raised money for the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund, which provides students with annual scholarships to universities in the U.S, U.K. and Turkey. The organization was established by the late Ahmed Ertegun, co-founder of Atlantic Records.

“During the Zeppelin years, Ahmed Ertegun was a major foundation of solidarity and accord,” said Plant, now 59. “This performance stands alone as our tribute to the work and the life of our long-standing friend.”
