Zeppelin fans: would you go to a Zep reunion concert?
 

There was some report a month or so ago that they would reform for a memorial concert for Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic Records who died in December '06 (one of their few reunited permances was May 1988 at Atlantic Records 40th anniversary concert). The rumor said if all went well, there would be an '08 tour, with the 3 surviving members plus Jason Bonham (John's son) on drums. Plant shot the rumor down though.

However, if theoretically there was a 2008 tour, with them being billed as Led Zeppelin, their first tour in 28 years, how interested would you be?

Personally I would do anything I could to get tickets, even though I know there's a decent chance it could suck. Who knows if it will ever happen, but it would be pretty historic if it did. I think they could still draw pretty good crowds. I probably would have tried to go to the Page/Plant stuff in the mid 90s but I wasn't a Zep fan then.

At least if this doesn't happen there's a new DVD coming out in November with some unreleased stuff.

there is a nonzero chance that this would not suck but just barely

I'm high, I had to read that post like 5 times before I understood it.

I pretty much agree though. I think Page can still play but you need Plant to be the old Plant for it to be any good and most 59 year olds can't sing like they used to. I'd still want to be there though.

I'd definitely go, I saw Plant and Page about 11 or 12 yrs ago and they were amazing. One of the best shows I've ever seen. They might not be as good, but if they're anywhere close to the ballpark, I'd love it.

Let's put it this way:

They are my favorite band, and were disbanded within a year of my birth. Most people have seen their favorite band in concert. Again, I have not.

This means I would pay a large amount of money to see them. I would go alone if I had to.

I would go if it was near me.

That's a long time ago. I have no idea what Plant's been doing the past decade, but I have a feeling it hasn't been working on his vocals. I have a feeling it would completely suck. But I would still go.

I also saw Page and Plant the same time as Runkmud. It was the best show I have ever seen. If a reunion tour were half as good I would do whatever it takes to go again.

I can't possibly imagine there being a concert with Zeppelin headlining that I wouldn't go see.

I think they could be like "The Dead" if they wanted to. At least for awhile anyway.
