But JB hates Zep.

no plant no zep.

wpdh here in po town has a 3 song zep set every weekday at 7pm.  i still like this band, but most of the time these days his high pitched voice makes my skin crawl...if i hear that song cashmier oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yeah yeah one more time .

i hope they do tour because it will probably be a good show.  i like that album, the song remains the same.

It seems true, if only for the fact that Percy agreed to join in when they threatened to tour without him 

Seriously, I do hope it's true. And I hope the tour brings them around my part of the world as well.
Led Zeppelin were great and legendary, no matter what Keith thinks about them 

And Robert Plant, imo, is one of the best frontmen and singers ever - not to mention he reminds me of LOTR's King Theoden these days 

"When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll..."



Ah, bring it on already!

Well Gazza, with the history of our band the last decade or so I don't think as Stones fans we should be raising such, errr, sensitive issues   I mean, what have the Stones done from 1998 onwards to show they respect their legacy? Even the new material that they managed to create, was ignored by the band itself in live shows as if it was completely irrelevant! Not to mention repeated setlists, extravagant prices, etc. etc.

At least Zep haven't played their songs for what, two decades now? Even a standard warhorse setlist without any new material wouldn't be boring - not to mention I have a feeling they would try out making new material as well, once they got together. So I don't really see why they shouldn't give it a shot.

If there was just the usual $$$ factor involved, I think they would have had that reunion years ago and not now, since as you point out, the market's not in its best of times. Personally, I can't wait to see them.

Yes ---- It is the ' smart ' move .

Robert Plant made the correct decision . That being said , The Rolling Stones , The Who & MACCA are all MUCH better bands.

True, but at least the Stones never broke up and never said they wouldnt ever do it again.

>At least Zep haven't played their songs for what, two decades now?

Three. Last US tour - 1977. Last UK shows (apart from the 02 gig)- Knebworth 1979 (with the New Barbarians supporting). Last European tour - 1980.

Its maybe legitimate with a new release. Just jumping back into it after three decades is a joke. And a bad one.

Never suggested it was for the money. I agree with you completely. And the 02 show was very good. I just think that they're on a bit of a hiding to nothing artistically after such a long gap.

I hate LZ with every fiber of my being.
I respect Page but Plant's voice makes me want to SCREAM....and not a good scream.

Shiver...........

From a strictly musical and performance standpoint I would rank the 2008 Robert Plant Alison Krauss shows a lot better than the O2 Arena show.
