WHA HAPPENED ? - Indeed, I agree with you. Millions of people wanted tickets and only thousands were available for the 2007 concert. So, yeah, I know there would be high demand once Zeppelin started again touring or recording, but they may just be testing the water right now with the release of the " Celebration Day " CD/ DVD . I hope they do get going again.
EVA LUNA- That must have been a freaking awesome concert in 1974/1975 when you went ! I would have LOVED to see them perform live and have been there. I love watching them live on my various DVD performances of them, I can only imagine what being there would be like ! I'm glad you're getting the CD/DVD - you won't be dissapointed ! Peace to you too !
FINKELSTEIN- Thanks for the link to the concert. Appreciate it.
NEW CHAPTER- I agree with you New Chapter - these guys sold their souls to the public for years so if they want to grow as musicians and people and pursue other interests, more power to them ! No reason to get mad at all , I agree. That must have been really cool seeing John Paul Jones play the mandolin on " Going to California " ! You met him too didn't you ? Awesome. Another song I love his mandolin playing on is " Battle of Evermore " . Unless Page plays it on that song, I don't remember. I'm like you, I'm really connected emotionally to their music as I was a teenager in the mid 70's in high school rocking out to Physical Graffiti. I get goosebumps every time I hear Stairway to Heaven, sometimes it gets me misty eyed. Zoso is a great Zeppelin tribute band ? I'll have to check them out sometime ! We have a Zeppelin trinute band out here in California called Ledzepagain which is really good as well. Take care, thanks for the info ! I hope they get back to recording new music sometime, it would be the coolest thing.
MRFREEZE- I agree with you that Robert Plant has been holding the guys up in getting back together as he's been doing all these other projects. I also agree he's a LOT better in Zeppelin with Page by his side. Maybe he will wax sentimental again soon and realize he's better off when Zep flies together again. If the 2007 concert is any indication the chemistry is just as strong musically with Page, Jones, and Bonham as it ever was. Take care
