Led Zeppelin Reunion

Robert Plant says he's open for one

I think the window is closing rapidly. The package was approximately $1 bn last time, but the promotors wanted 200+ dates, a double live album AND DVD to come from it. I don't know how committed they are, but I strongly suspect this will be the last roundup - the real "Coda", if you will. They would almost have to start preparing now if they wanted to get going by next Spring - they have to decide what songs to play, any "special guests", start rehearsing (especially Jimmy), etc.

if they come within 500 miles of south LA, I'll be there.

Plant at 64, no way he can hit the notes...but I might be interested.

as much as I love Zeppelin, This is so true.

200 dates would be way too much. If they were to do this, it should be very limited. Something like 10-15 shows in Europe and 15-20 in the US.

I'd be shocked if they didn't do at least a half dozen shows in Asia and, at least a few in South America.

Besides, in for a penny, in for a pound - $1 billion split 3 ways (minus what they pay Jason), is serious scrilla.

they could charge eleventy billion per ticket

As someone (and I am sure I am not alone here), who has followed Robert Plant's love-hate relationship with Zeppelin over the years, that is not what he said. If you look at the article, he doesn't say "Yes, I will do a Zeppelin reunion tour in 2014." He said he wasn't the only one to blame for the inactivity and that he wasn't doing anything in 2014. With Plant, that is far from a firm commitment!

Over the years he has intentionally spoken with ambiguity and has thrown around little teasers here and there that only served to rile up the masses. Until I hear it actually announced (and possibly until the first note is played), I will hold some skepticism.

With all that having been said, I REALLY want to see this happen!

I was kind of under the impression that JPJ is "done" with LZ. Pretty sure he's making better music with Them Crooked Vultures than anything LZ could create at this point in their collective careers.

Too late. Move on.

Well, Josh Homme is working on the new QOTSA album, then I think they are expected to make another TCV album.

Rumors have been ramping up since mid-December.

I guess I didn't realize people trolled the Music Board this much!

the violin thing was also stupid and gimmicky

You serious Clark??? This has been a staple of Zeppelin shows for years and is one of the reasons Jimmy Page is considered one of the most influential and creative guitarists ever...

Please god no. The 2007 performance was terrible

It's amazing that critics worldwide praised the O2 show, the DVD/CD has sold millions of copies, but people on TD know WAY more...
