That's good hatchet buring money. Still, skeptical as I am about the motives, I'd have huge trouble staying away. I had tickets for Zeppelin once (1975?) when Plant's daughter died and dates were cancelled.

 

In 1977, Led Zeppelin embarked on another massive U.S. concert tour, again selling out venues in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and New York. Though hugely successful musically and financially, the tour was beset with off-stage problems. On June 3, after a concert at Tampa Stadium was cut short because of a severe thunderstorm, a riot broke out amongst the audience, resulting in several arrests and injuries. Police ultimately used tear gas to break up the crowd.

 

 

Robert Plant rides to a castle in his fantasy sequenceAfter a July 23 show at the "Days on the Green" festival at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum in Oakland, California, John Bonham and members of the band's support staff (including manager Peter Grant and security co-ordinator John Bindon) were arrested after a member of promoter Bill Graham's Oakland concert staff was badly beaten during the performance. A member of the staff had allegedly slapped Grant's son when he was taking down a dressing room sign; when Grant heard about this, he went into the trailer, along with Bindon and John Bonham, and beat the man senseless.[7]

 

Although it was not known at the time, the following day's second Oakland concert would be the band's final live appearance in the U.S. After the concert, news came that Plant's five year old son, Karac, had died from a stomach virus. The rest of the tour was immediately cancelled.

"Jeff's Note -- 1980 plus 22 years equals 2002. You do the math, people. "

 

Led Zeppelin reunited in 1985 for Live Aid, and again in 1988 for the Atlantic Records 40th Birthday. 22 years would be 2010, not 2002.

'75... '77. I'm lucky if I can remember what I had for breakfast. Actually, I know that I didn't have any breakfast this morning. I had tickets to see them in Buffalo on that tour. My aunt who lives in Welland had to get them for me. No TM in 1977.

no bonham=no zepplin.

jason bohnam is available.

 

wouldn't take much to pull him out of the lastest franken-foreigner lineup. stadiums beat the hell out of playing casinos and block parties.

 

robert plant isn't much to look at these days but he's still got it.

 

haven't heard anything from jimmy in a while.

The rumour is that he is working on a new release of The Song Remains The Same and some other LZ releases.

if jimmy could lop off about an hour of the song remains the same...that would be awesome. ever since the most recent live zep release, that soundtrack was rendered obsolete imo.

he actually said that himself late last year... i think it was the Q mag

 

 

I have found that a good place to get the scoop on things like that are by checking out the blogs of people such as Ross Haflin or Kevin Shirley.

 

where can the kevin shirley one be found?
