Mick, knowing your sources, I assume what you wrote about Plant is spot on.
What a pity, the opportunity to hear "Gallows Pole", "Misty Mountain Hop", "Ramble On", "Rock'n'Roll", "Whole Lotta Love" and the still-stupendous "Kashmir" would make me VERY KEEN to see them. Page on the double-necked guitar and the brilliant John Paul Jones on bass would be outstanding.
I just wonder if Plant would STILL have that unbelievable voice. Amazing talent at his best he most certainly was.
For the unititiated, type in Gallows Pole on YouTube and listen to Page & Plant perform this gem unplugged. Spine-tingling.

Spine-tingling. certianly, with the beatles, the most influential band of all time i once picked up a girl at a died pretty concert on the basis that i knew an obscure died pretty song called the battle of stanmore (pisstake on the battle of evermore) and that she was from stanmore |

Amazing talent at his best he most certainly was. i dunno, i have a copy of no quarter, the page and plant unplugged do from 93/94/sometime round then and i thought he sounded like it was going then. that's practically a decade and a half ago... |

I'm gunna paraphrase the late George Harrison here, and say that Led Zeppelin can never reform so long as John Bonham remains dead.
Now I know the surviving Beatles got around Lennon's sad fate by using a demo tape of his voice with some wonderful digital mixing and effects to purge one more Beatles song, and I guess Zepp can take Bonham's son and try to have us believe they're back, but it won't be the same.
Bonham's drum playing was a huge part of the monster that made the Led Zeppelin sound. I saw the Live Aid (1985) performance (on TV)of the 3 Zepp survivors with both Phil Collins on one of the songs and Bonham's son accompanying Collins as dual drummers on another, but it wasn't the same. Collins used way too much cymbals to try and emulate Bonham, and neither of them could get the bass drum and snare to sound like Thor's stomach rumbling like Bonham did.
Bonham hit that snare with the intensity of a Mack truck at full speed. All the metal drummers, all the punk drummers, technically better or fitter drummers could not hit that drum harder or with as much snap as Bonham. He broke snare drums, drumsticks, hands and fingers often. Some things just cannot be replicated.
Page has never enjoyed good health and if Plant ain't too well either, then it isn't going to be a joy to watch.
Like remembering George Best at the height of his powers on the field, you prefer to put aside his later life when the grog got to him and eventually killed him.
I'd much prefer to have Page, Plant and Jones (where their experience and intimate knowledge of such a genre of music would be a very helpful asset to the band) offer to produce the next Wolfmother album than try to relive past glories.

no way this will be a road crash Sorry, but I'd be prepared to take the punt (and I just became on of the 20 million punters to register for to ballot for the 18 000 tix). Never saw Led Zep (was a bit too young in '73) but did see the Page and Plant Unledded tour at the SEC in the '90's. It was (well - equal, unable to separate it from a few others) the best show I've ever seen. P&P were fine then (and possibly drinking (that band's chosen poison) a lot less than the AWESOME (+ fatal for JB) amount they consumed at the height of their success. A (musician) friend of mine's band played support on a Robert Plant tour of USA in the early 90's (from were I got a photo autographed to me by RP - probably one of my most prized bits of rock memorabilia) and he didn't seem to feel Plant was ready for the knackery. (I know - 10+ more years now). Saw Ronnie James Dio fronting Heaven and Hell (Black Sabbath) at NEC last month and for all of his 65 years he hasn't lost a thing (does look like a goblin though). But this would be an monumentous event. They were enormously important in music history - "the folk music of the technological age". |

Led Zeppelin Reunion To Be Terrible, Promises Robert Plant Robert Plant, looking quite sluttish, lumbering.Photo: Getty ImagesYesterday at a press conference, it was made official that the long-rumored Led Zeppelin reunion will indeed take place — Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones are set to reform, with John Bonham's son Jason playing drums, for a tribute show to deceased Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegün in London on November 26. Too bad it'll be awful — even Plant thinks so! Or he did, at least. In a September 2002 interview with Spin magazine, when asked why the band had not yet reunited for a tour with Jason Bonham on drums, he said this: But what the f*** for? John Bonham's kid isn't as good as John Bonham. Look, I know you're a journalist, so I'll go along with this question. I don't make my living by making a living. My time is so important that I can't compromise my taste — or my idea of what's right — simply to match someone else's view of what's a good, calculated move. And can you imagine what a lumbering monster that tour would have been? It would have been quite sluttish to come back firing like a bunch of hard rockers. So when did he change his mind? Probably when he realized he could charge fans $250 a ticket to see a crappy drummer play with a trio of sluttish, lumbering hard rockers. Looks and sounds promising....

The change of heart relates to the fact that this is not a 'lumbering tour', it's a unique show which is more about Atlantic Records and Ahmet Ertegun's memory.
I don't believe they'd do it if they couldn't do make it work (and make something special of it). I doubt their cut of the $250 x 18 000 ($4.5M) gate, before expenses and shares with the 5 or so other bands, would have enough impact on their respective bank balances to be the prime motivating factor.

Oh shit. oh shit, oh shit, oh shit...
...most insane thing I've ever done.
My first post on LZ form just now will explain
Gig's Monday night GMT. And yesterday I was excited that I got Foo Fighters tix. And the Cove are upset by the reshedule clash with Daft Punk
Well... question for the poms here:
For 3 days 2 nights, probably mostly inside, will I need much warm stuff to wear and would either my Marinators or official Central Coast scarf attract any bad vibes.
...and the women here:
What should I buy my wife (? from Harrods)
A response to my post called me a "superfan" (there's that word again)
