2007 Led Zeppelin tour: Wishful thinking?
With the announced reunions of Van Halen and the Police, it was only a matter of time until the name Led Zeppelin was thrown into the mix. Rock photographer and Jimmy Page friend Ross Halfin wrote on his website, "John Paul Jones has apparently announced on a Toronto radio station that Led Zeppelin will tour next summer. This of course meant I woke up to a load of mail asking if it's true. Look, I'm not a Led Zeppelin website or news board, I'm sure the official announcement will be out soon with all the details on Jimmy Page's website. The tickets are bound to be cheap -- you can re-mortgage your house to see your heroes."
Jones is supposed to have made the announcement on CILQ-FM, but the station's "Rock Report" says, "None of us have spoken to John Paul Jones recently. If we had, we'd all probably be asking for bass lessons. So to the (idiot) out there spreading rumors... and leading on Zep fans around the world -- your time is gonna come... So once more -- no Zeppelin reunion to speak of. Don't let anybody tell you different."
Of course, that hasn't stopped the British tabloid The Sun from going with the story. Their version says Page, Jones, and Robert Plant met two weeks ago in their management office and quoted a "band insider" as saying, "If the right offer comes up, they will do it," adding that a stadium tour could bring them over $12.5 million.
The late John Bonham's son Jason is supposed to take his father's place on drums. Jason has in recent years been a member of Foreigner, which has dates booked into October.

I dunno,.... it would seem that Plant, Page, and Jones might be considering being comfortable in old age. Financial considerations change from time to time. The fact that they might be considering a tour before a new record speaks volumes to me. Zep might have woken up to the fact that "thar's money in them there tours." And the window is open....go for it boys. |

Oh yeah, the Zeppelin tour. That'll be right after the Stones next studio album, or after we colonise Mars, whichever comes first. |

Never underestimate the power of the "lure of easy money." |

i hope it happens but after all these years who knows. i thought if it happens it would be next year on their fortieth anniversary but maybe another year older is not such a good thing. it would seem they have all the money, but another 20 or more million each wouldnt hurt. maybe it will be for the glory too. |

That's more likely to be possible. They're all still alive for starters, and Gilmour singing Money in his 60's is less of a stretch than Plant attempting Immigrant Song. Then again, with some backup singers and a horn section, ya never know. |

Id much rather see Floyd tour. both would be good....Immigrant Song would be a stretch for Plant these days...Although, i would still like to hear it. They should open with it on the "tour"

According to Chuck Klosterman's profile of Lez Zep, they're not actually lesbians. |
