Robert Plant finally open to a Zeppelin reunion tour?

Plant has always used being "busy" as part of the excuse. The other excuse was he didn't want to "tour like a bunch of bored old men following the Rolling Stones around". I don't think Plant ever liked the idea of doing a nostalgia tour that revisited the past.

So, this is an interesting development. I don't think I would pay to see it but I'm sure it would sell out whereever it goes. I don't see the point in them trying to resurrect the past after so long except for it just being a money grab. Seems like they may try to do some new music or something to keep it interesting for themselves?

I still kind of wish they would leave it alone in the past.

 

He's been playing occasionally here in Austin since he's lives here. Hopefully I'll catch a show sometime

 

After listening to the 2007 live tour cd, I would definitely welcome another show from these guys.

They might be a bit too old for it now though..

 

Too bad the soul of Zep is still dead.

 

I actually like reunion tours with the caveat that they only have original members. Obviously, that's not possible for Zeppelin, but having Bonham's son (who is actually a tremendous drummer) is close enough for me.

Also, reunion tours have a little more cache if it's just a one-time deal. Don't be like KISS and keep touring 15 years later with only half of your original members.

 

Or like Foreigner, with only Mick Jones left.

 

I hope they do it.
