Led Zeppelin Reunion?

I'm typically not a huge fan of "reunion" shows or tours. I would generally rather watch/listen to a show recorded in the band's prime than pay overpriced ticket amounts to line some aging rocker's pockets, but if this one is true then I'm totally drinking the kool-aid.


"As the summer of reunions rages on, Led Zeppelin is reportedly reuniting for a one-off gig in honor of theirzep recently deceased record company boss, Ahmet Ertegun. While the date of the benefit gig has not been determined, singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones and late drummer John Bonham's son Jason are expected to play a show in London in the coming months. The quartet’s performance may lead to a more extended tour in 2008. "

Given how cool Page & Plant were together the last time they toured (when was that, 1995?) and the groove on the Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes -- Live at the Greek (even though that was seven or eight years ago), I have high hopes!

When John Lodge from the Moody Blues played his Christmas album at a recent tour, I swore off aging rock bands. But come on man... We're talking PAGE & PLANT here....
