Zep is Back!
Okay, we all hoped it would happen and it finally did at London's O2 Arena. Led Zeppelin put aside personal differences and honored the late Ahmet Ertegun with a blistering two hour set that left one big question: When can the rest of us see the band live? Tour? Got a feeling t going to happen. The band is doing some work for ESPN, and at least one music industry insider is saying "It's a done deal". Hey, Van Halen did it with David Lee Roth, who's to say Zep couldn't. Page sounds as good as ever, Plant and Jones were as tight as ever and Jason Bonham held up his dad's legacy in great fashion. I was one of the people who never wanted the Beatles to reunite. How would you live up to the hype? Could you change with the times? After hearing the clips of Zeppelin, I'm convinced this is the band that can do it. Of course, Zeppelin wasn't responsible for the social change the Beatles lay claim to, so that could make it a bit easier. The bottom line is that Zeppelin still has to live up to its own legend. We're all a little bit older and hopefully a bit wiser, so I have a feeling that if there is a tour we'll all share in their victory. This is the band to do it!

Zep. was never as social aware as the beatles were. The beatles made music and comments such as Ballad of john and yoko. the comments of john saying the beatles were as big as jesus. Zep was much happier playing their music without the social turmoil, not wanting to upset the public. the music of both is powerful , but the message, no fear attitede. places the beatles as the most fearless band of all time. Thanx.
I was looking at the setlist for Bonaroo 08, and supposively Led Zeplin will be there. Too bad I have a 14mth old little girl because I would love to go. Not to mention B.B King and The Allman Brothers will be there!
