I'm one of the lucky one's; My first concert Led Zeppelin 7/73 at MSG, all three shows in 1975, The World Premier in 10/76 waited 8 hours in front of cinema 1on 61st and 3rd. Shook Bonzo's hand( what a moment at age 16) Jummy gave me his empty bottle of napeloen congnac) and that bottle stands on shelf in my office. All 6 six nights in 77 ( 4 nights in the first 6 rows)<br><br>After the death of Bonzo and the years passing by, The only way Led Zeppelin could reform would be with Jason. As the years turned to decades and then it was confirmed the reunion is set November 27th 2007, a few days after my 30th High School reunion, I said to myself what could be better. Well, my reunion sucked, walked out after an hour. The concert was pushed back to December.<br><br>That night waiting to see the set list, etc. and then a few weeks later getting a DVD of the show I was so to speak back to the days of my youth. The show was great, it could have been super, except for all that bloody feedback.. <br><br>After the show and the rumors flying around of tour of the states, I was ready to take the kids college funds and take the family to one of the shows. But then Robert Plant pulled off one his classics BS of ..it worked for one night and LETs MOVE ON...<br><br>Then I said.. You know he's right.. For all of us who grew up in the 70's with LED ZEPPELIN what a time, 30 years later and the magic is captured on my DVD's, CD's .<br><br>Iknow now that the dream I was waiting for to see live and re-live the days of my youth, won't be exactly the way I've been dreaming of. So I move on and it's time to put the DVD of Earls Court for my morning workout.<br><br>As for Robert he plays both kinds of music now:<br>Country and Western)* Blues Brothers Movie)<br><br>Rich from Long IslandRich from Hicksville, New Yorknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-53535463899847986492008-03-13T14:26:00.000-04:002008-03-13T14:26:00.000-04:00How about a Friggin victory lap before someone die...How about a Friggin victory lap before someone dies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-2617573061852740392008-03-09T17:18:00.000-04:002008-03-09T17:18:00.000-04:00Hey Steve,Yep it's 3-D Glen.

However, from a selfish point of view, I would still love to see them perform a few shows in the states.glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11811196177057892753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-22415696717410810822008-03-07T09:28:00.000-05:002008-03-07T09:28:00.000-05:00Oh wow, Randy.

At this point, I think Plant may someday consent to a few dates here and there, but he would prefer small venues.

However, I can see and hope that he would consider playing a few shows here and there. This way he gets the best of both worlds, maintain his solo identity and placate his bands mates and fans.<br>The other point is that why would he announce a Zeppelin tour before he's embarking on his current project. Most people would probably consider not going to these shows if they knew they could see him in Zeppelin.<br>Glen H.glenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11811196177057892753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-65914779642183946542008-03-07T08:54:00.000-05:002008-03-07T08:54:00.000-05:00I really don't believe they would be concerned...I really don't believe they would be concerned in the least about satisfying the majority or meeting everyone's expectations or even concerned about people's criticism of how their new music would relate to the past Led Zeppelin sound. You know as well as I do that they've always been about change, and never staying stagnant and predictable. I'm just saying that if Plant was inclined to do another project as Led Zeppelin, he would want the band/music to move forward and not recycle another Led Zep II, as I'm sure the other members would want as well. Hey, I know! If they did put out a new album, they could not put their name on it and just adorn it with some funky symbols or something! Thanks Steve, keep up the great work.

No matter how big the venues are, or how many dates can be played, fans will be left behind. It might be you, Randy. You tried as hard as everybody else but just couldn't glean any tickets. There would always be somebody unsatisfied.<br><br>They could so much more handily give us something revolutionary, on the other hand, such as showing in theaters a 3D film with state-of-the-art audio, recreating that 2007 concert. That's my solution if they don't want to tour but want to satisfy people.<br><br>Now throw in the part about making new music. That certainly can't satisfy everybody either. Sure, you might like it and I might like it and tons of other people might like it. But you and I know there will be many more who won't understand that because this is Led Zeppelin of an advanced age, and because of the time we're in, we shouldn't expect music that would forge the rock world in the same way Led Zeppelin II did. They'd lambast any new music for lacking the high squeals of Robert Plant in 1969. Basically, all the popular criticisms of Led Zeppelin III upon its release in 1970 would resurface for this new album. Would they really care to endure all that over again?<br><br>To forego this, they could let sleeping dogs of doom lie and leave the legacy of the band's nine original albums untouched.Steve Sauerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03823992972037781146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361017796205994256.post-88971538441826283112008-03-06T08:32:00.000-05:002008-03-06T08:32:00.000-05:00Rehashed Led Zeppelin.

If I were to be lucky enough to watch them perform one more time, I would surely enjoy hearing some new music coming forth from the stage. That is one subject I have yet to hear one word about from either the band or the many Zep blogs amongst all their discussions. What about the band going back into the studio? I would think that if anything would spur Robert into doing a Led Zeppelin project, it would be to 'turn another page' (no pun intended) and do something unpredictable and different with the band. Something more (I hate to use the words 'mature' or 'adult', but maybe, something more adventurous and appropriate for guys their age. Music in the vein of 'UnLedded'. Nothing mainstream at all, ya know wot i mean? Thanks, RandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
