drops_of_jupiter Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 From British newspaper, The Telegraph: The legendary rock band Led Zeppelin are planning to play a huge comeback concert at the O2 arena, the concert hall housed in the former Millennium Dome. According to reports the supergroup, who disbanded 27 years ago, are in talks with the owners of the 20,000 capacity venue to stage a spectacular one off show at the end of the year. Speculation has been rife that the three surviving band members, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones had been planning to perform their greatest hits at a memorial concert for the late Island Record boss Ahmet Ertegun. Now it looks like they have chosen the venue. No official confirmation has been given but sources have confirmed they are in talks with the owners of the venue in Greenwich, south east London. A source said: "The talks are ongoing but it looks like a definite possibility. Nothing has been finalised but fingers crossed the most anticipated comeback concerts ever could become a reality." Story: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml...zeppelin131.xmlGod....Imagine how much those tickets would go for on ebay! It was in The Telegraph and that's quite a credible newspaper. I hope this happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCG Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Wow, The Telegraph - that is a credible newspaper.Yeah, the ticket prices must be unaffordable. To be honest, I don't want a reunion to occur. I personally feel Led Zeppelin's legacy should be left untouched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevdo242 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I'd actually try and get a ticket. An impossible task, but it'd be worth it if it really happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDRM Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 If it happened, and they want it to be good; they'd NEED to follow it up with a massive uk tour.*hint* cardiff *hint* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slash Guitarist Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Imagine the ticket prices though.And the speed at which they would sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 The correct way to do things would actually be to do a long US tour starting in North Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyDeeds Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I saw Robert Plant in 2005 and he had really aged, but JESUS CHRIST Jimmy Page is OLD!http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgo...est/6917449.stmThis article has the only up-to-date photo I could find.

stevGNR666 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Robert Plant has a new album coming out in october with a famous blue grass singer/violin player...I doubt he would do a zep reunion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opax Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) I very much doubt this will ever happen. And as someone else touched on I think it will taint the legacy, I mean look at the rolling stones, they really are a shadow of their former selves, that's what makes the Led so fantastic, they lived and died in their prime.Oh and *edit* heres a ver interesting article, basically summing up that Led Zeppelin are the greatest of all time.Supergroup Edited September 4, 2007 by Opax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 All this, "This group and that group shouldn't tour. It would spoil their legacy." It drives me nuts! Why is it such a big deal? It's only rock n' roll. Do it! Tour! Let people get out and have fun! That's what rock n' roll and life is about. Let the older folks bask in nostalgia and let the youngsters get a taste of what it was once like. I think everyone will forgive them for being older. They can't help that. I certainly forgave Robert Plant for being older when I saw him in the front row a few years ago. If Led Zeppelin did this one-off in Britain, if I could even conceivably get a hold of tickets, I would seriously give thought to taking a trip across the pond to see it.

Golden Years Of RockN'Roll Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I wish I could have seen my favourite bands while they were at their best, but since I can't change my birthdaydate (have even been told by my parents I seem to be born in the wrong decade), I'm so happy when some of them still play. If this happened, I would do anything to get tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
