100 might get you nosebleed seats. Rock ticket prices have gone way up. I wanted to see Peter Gabriel this fall, but when I saw the prices, I decided to download some of his mp3s for spite instead.

I'm glad these fellows are still able to get around and hit the road.
But even if I did get out to see them, I'd still be thinking of what was probably
one of their earliest video works (Led Zep enthusiasts pleace correct me if I'm wrong).
About 20 years ago (can it be possible?) my brother and I went to rock-and-roll double feature
at the campy Will Rogers Theater in Oklahoma City.
The main feature was a full-length "rockumentary" of Lyndard Skynard (I think sponsored
by Pepsi). It was a very nice coverage of the band and their music.
But what TOTALLY BLEW ME AWAY was a "video"...this was before MTV...of Led Zeppelin
doing "Dazed And Confused". IIRC, this video was shot at a nightclub in London.
Maybe it was my youth...but it was a great video/audio portrayal of the song...
and no drugs needed to get the full effect!!!
Even at this remove...I'd say it was just about the most concentrated, intense
musical rendition I've seen captured on film...but of course that's a subjective opinion.
And this is from a fellow who was a Who fanatic (saw them three times).

Bullshit....for so many reasons. IF they do a tour involving John Paul Jones, it will most likely be called Page, Plant & Jones....just as 1995's Page/Plant tour was called Page & Plant. They have often stated, correctly, that there is NO Led Zeppelin without John Bonham. Another big red flag is that Page and Plant have often stated, correctly, that Jason Bonham SUCKS as a drummer. They agreed to play a short set with him at LiveAid to help raise money for charity. No other reason. IF there is to be a "reunion" they will most likely use the kid they used on the Page/Plant tour, who plays eerily like Bonzo did....which no other drummer alive can replicate any better. Not the chops, the feel.

What do you want to bet tickets will be close to $100?God I hope not, my jumpin the fence days are long over. Never the less, if they make it to Hawaii, I'm there.

More than a few Zep song's lyrics were inspired by the Lord of the Rings. Stairway to Heaven was lifted in part from Aragon's song... "All that glitters is not gold...all who wander are not lost...". Following on the album is "The Battle of Evermore", which is also directly inspired from Tolkien, "...the drums will shake the castle walls, the ring-wraiths ride in black...to which Plant added "Ride on!". (Makes me wonder who's side he's on.) My own father, square as he is,introduced me to Tolkien long before "Frodo Lives" ever appeared on the side of a New York subway tunnel. There's just thing I've got to do...RAMBLE ON!!! No plans in heading towards Mordor, however...

Actually, I suspect that will be the required gratuity for the valet when parking at
The Staples Center here in Los Angeles.

Leaves are falling all around;
Its time I be on my way.
Thanks to you I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay.
But now its time for me to go;
The autumn moon lights my way.
But now I smell the rain and with it pain
And its heading my way. Mine's a tale that can't be told.
My freedom I hold dear.
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air.
"Twas in the Darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair,
But Gollum and the Evil One
Crept up and slipped away with her."
But seriously though.... can these guys tour? - These guys date back to the second age for cryin' out loud!

Robert, 54, Jimmy, 58, and 56-year-old John Paul met two weeks ago at the offices of their management firm Trinifold. It sure is depressing to hear that a band that I grew up with (and worshipped) is so damn old! Where have the years gone?

Don't be depressed,Dick Dale is in his 60's and I've seen him twice in the past few years.He still puts most all younger players to shame,he still plays some of the fastest,hardest,and loudest guitar out there.Jimmy Page can still play,make no mistake.That's one of the great things about music,it's not like sports where you're done at 30.

Immigrant Song is one of the easiest and most fun songs to play.
Okay, Whole Lotta Love is pretty easy.
