re: Robert Plant turns down $800 million for Zeppelin reunion

The one in London a few years ago had Jason Bonham.

Although not technically a member, there is little question they would do anything significant without "Bonham" on drums - Jason Bonham.

They've said as much. In the 80s - Robert used to joke that at 5, Jason already knew all the songs and on any given night would have been a better drummer than his father, because he was "sober". Sad the great drummer fell so far down that hole - all the way in fact.

And Jason is the dedicated keeper of his father's memory - in more recent interviews - either Robert or Jimmy remarked,

"Jason brings a certain historical knowledge and proficiency to more recent Zeppelin performances - he's listened to every live recording, every bootleg and will ask, 'You want it more like Fort Worth or Song Remains the Same?' and then deliver."
