Led Zeppelin have given a clear hint that they are thinking about staging a full-scale tour after their reunion gig next month.
Speaking to Guitar World magazine in the States, guitarist Jimmy Page suggested the one-off show may lead to something bigger.
"It's a bit silly not to because there is such massive demand," he said.
Until now, the band had said they were only planning to do the one show at the O2 Dome, in honour of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.
But following what Page described as the "overwhelming" reaction to the show, clearly they are re-thinking things. It's estimated up to 20 million people applied for just 18,000 tickets.
"It's a bit selfish to do just one show. If that's it, we probably shouldn't have taken the genie out of the bottle," he said.
The show has been delayed while Page rests a broken finger on his left hand. He got the injury when he tripped over a paving slab in the dark.
"The light was very dim and I tripped over something and I landed on various bits of my anatomy but of course the crucial part was left hand, little finger," Page has previously told Sky News.
The rescheduled gig at the O2 Arena will now take place on December 10.
Most excellent (as I look at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum from my office window here.)

hmmmm ... kinds looks like "Mrs. Doubtfire" to me. Doesn't matter though, great guitar player. Can't wait till they come back to Detroit, it'll be terrific to see them again.
I know what you mean! I saw Ted twice in the same week and swear my hearing loss today was because of those concerts.
I can’t believe “redsnapper” is actually one of the keywords for this thread. ;)
Lol. I love that movie.
. Can't wait till they come back to Detroit, it'll be terrific to see them again.
Again? When and where did you last see Led Zeppelin?
D@mn straight!
I agree. He's long ago put his substance-abuse demons to rest. I've just finished reading his interview in Guitar World and he's quite confident that this reunion will be a success unlike the disappointing '85 and '88 shows.
I saw Boston in ‘85 and I didn’t think it was really great. I loved it mostly because it was my first big concert my parents let me go to.
I would never loathe anyone except when they plagiarize others which LZ has done.
I think their music really attracts the “poseur” crowd - not anyone here I hope.
That DVD they put out 2 years ago called ‘DVD’ is pretty awesome. Takes you back to the 70’s when I was a kid growing up with my hippie parents.
Will Owlsley be there?
What’s he doing playing a strat! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Page with a strat, tele yes, strat no.
Ive seen a lot of the BIG arena rockers from the day.
Frank Zappa blew them all away
Same goes for Keith Moon and "The Who."
L0L!
Squeeze my aspercream...till the juice runs down my leg..
Bwahhahaa
The Two?
