NEWS: What Is and What Should Never Be: Led Zeppelin to Reunite?

Ha! Interestingly enough, that was the first thing I thought upon reading this, as well.... Crossing my fingers, but certainly won't hold me breath!

I'd go...

I'd hate myself but I'd go....

altho I swore I'd go see cream and didn't - I just couldn't believe it'd be as good as they were (and from the concert cd they wasn't)....

This would be like if The Who played without Keith Moon!

as big a Zeppelin fan as i am, i wouldn't go to this.

Phil Collins was on drums at Live Aid.

That said, I would definitely plunk down the cash to see this show.

I saw Pink Floyd in 1988 at Three Rivers Stadium. I figured it would be the last time I'd get to see them with both Waters and Gilmour before they killed each other. I had 8th row seats..was a great show. I'd love to see Zepp if they actually sounded ok.

You're right (I was at JFK in Philly watching Wembley on the big screen anyway) - but then where did Jason play with them. He did it somewhere along the line.

Ah . . . there it is:

I must have watched it 3 years after the Live Aid show and my memory twisted them together.

Fucking mid-80s mindbend.

The Zep Live Aid "reunion" was at JFK in Philadelphia, not at Wembley in London.

There goes artistic integrity. One of the few bands who did the right thing-disbanded for the right reasons and refused to buckle under money pressure. Like all of the others, though, I guess the older you get the more the money takes the fore.

hehheh. It just gets worse. I had sworn that for years until other Philly folks who had attended with me convinced me we'd only watched them on the screen from Wembley. Them being from the UK and me having been bordering on heat stroke and heavily hypokalemic that day, I was finally convinced. Regardless, it was great to see, but I think this should be bettrer. And of course, not an overcrowded nowdefunct stadium with fiberglass seats and 100+ degree weather and insufficient facilities.

I miss JFK, though. So many great shows there. Most I was in good health for.

Good to know that at one time I was right.

Thanks!

And in other bad memory news , there's no way that Gilmour & Waters were on stage together for that show . Since they did The Wall tour , I'm pretty sure then only time they got together was that recent show they did this year . If it was the Momentary Lapse of Reason tour , I saw them in Philly that tour . Much like Zep won't be the same , Floyd isn't really Floyd with out Roger .

ahhh. artistic integrity was what made "rock and roll" work so well in that car commercial then? pfft. they're people w/their own lives and can do whatever they like...if we don't like it, eh. let it be.

and someone said something about seeing pink floyd w/roger waters in 1988? waters had already left before then...but then no-one at a pink floyd show remembers anything correctly for some reason

Well known fact that all great rock stars are Wolves fans - RIP The Doog, who died Yesterday and would have been at the top of his career when Led Zep were breaking ground.

Yeah, Wright left Floyed in 1981, and Roger played in Floyd with Gilmour & Mason only until 1985 (although he'd officially quit in 1984).

He didn't play with Pink Floyd again until July 2, 2005 in London, when Waters, Gilmour, Mason & Wright, all playing together for the first time since 1981 as Pink Floyd performed:

Speak to Me ->
Breathe ->
Breathe: Reprise
Money
Wish You Were Here
Comfortably Numb

The New York Daily News said they were going to play Live Earth, but Gilmour and Waters have since then both separately dismissed the rumour, so the 2005 show was the last planned show with the four of them to date.

We don't think, we hope. Hope is all we have man, hope is all we have.

and laughter. remember laughter.

Too funny. How many farewell tours did they have after Keth died, anyway?

Hmm. He died around '78 - I think Kenny Jones from the Small Faces was their drummer the 2 times I saw them. The shows were highly enjoyable, but I'd love to have seen them with Keith.

Like I wish I could see Zep with Bonzo.

No.

No.

well since im a huge fan, and never got to experience the real deal, id love for this to happen!

Well fuck me....holy shit and all that! I would sooooo go! Oh to see Page play...

I've been envious of my hubby for years b/c he's seen Zeppelin live.

PLEASE! this is, perhaps, the fifth Zeppelin reunion rumor I hear in the last 5 years. Let's move it along folks, nothing to see here.

No way in hell they tour under the name Led Zeppelin, but I'd be cool with a mini tour or something. And if they sound decent (pretty big "if"), they could pull off a major tour. And make serious bank.

maybe they would tour under a surname like the doors are. since jim morrison took the name to the grave with him the remaining members are touring as the cover band "riders of the storm".
