Ping! ;)

I’m holding out for the Blue Cheer reunion.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Now, now. So long as they haven’t yet reached “The Who Reunion Tour #9,012” levels of absurdity... ;)

Imagine being a roadie for the Starland Vocal Band; or working security for Toni Tenille’s mosh pit. ;)

Wow. A Led Zeppelin tour would rake in some serious $$$$.

I would love to see them again. The one and only time I saw them was around '76-'77. I didn't find them to be all that great in concert, but it's being able to say you were there that matters, I guess.

You mean something like KISS’ 65th or 70th greatest hits album?

... or, even more ludicrous still: the eleventeen zillionth live Grateful Dead multi-disc set. ;)

I think Zeppelin will be a very credible concert and reunion. They haven't overplayed their success. I absolutely think Plant/Krause new album, Raising Sand is great. Now if the Who/Beatles try something it would be interesting...I mean use the Who guitar and lead vocal with the Beatles bass and drummer they could be a full foursome.

No kidding. The only one with more rehashed albums are probably the Stones. I think every second album of Mick & company since 1975 has been a “greatest hits” or “live” album.

< Standard Ringo Cheap Shot>"... but, even if one were to merge both bands: they'd STILL be lacking a drummer!" < /Standard Ringo Cheap Shot>

Sorry. Reflex. ;)

Now THERE'S an easy gig!

It’s just that they sound terrible live. Page is a studio musician

I agree. They are very much a "studio" band and they aren't that good live. I remember seeing "the Cars" and "Boston" and they were both terrible Live also. Some bands re best only meant to be heard "non-live".

Go here to see Jimmy Page playing Dazed And Confused in the Yardbirds before there was a Led Zeppelin group.

Ringo's son Zach is the drummer for the Who in their concerts.

Oh, goody, more over-the-hill rockers

[mamelukesabre]

Ok, but what kind of music would they play, pray tell? I don’t see them doing “yellow submarine”...

[Burr5]

I saw the Page/Plant reunion tour in ‘95 and it was extraordinary. Plant was as energetic as a kid (or a Steven Tyler- very surprising) and Page was excellent- not quite as showy as in ‘73 or’75, but better than ‘77 or’79.

Don’t count the balloon out yet. I bet they’ll surprise everybody. If they were going to be a let-down, I’m positive Plant wouldn’t do it.
