    Led Zeppelin to tour again


    By THOMAS WHITAKER
    Showbiz Reporter

    LEGENDARY rockers Led Zeppelin are set to re-group after 22 years for a money-spinning stadium tour of America.

    The three surviving members — singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones — plan to hit the road next summer.

    The trio hope to pocket £6.4million for the shows.

    Robert, 54, Jimmy, 58, and 56-year-old John Paul met two weeks ago at the offices of their management firm Trinifold.

    They buried the hatchet over Page and Plant’s 1990s tour, which John Paul only learned about from a newspaper.

    A band insider said last night: “If the right offer comes up they will do it.”

    Trinifold added: “Jimmy is itching to do something, but there is nothing firm yet.”

    Zeppelin split in 1980 after a booze binge killed drummer John Bonham.

    His son Jason is set to play drums on the tour.

    The band, famed for songs like Stairway to Heaven and Whole Lotta Love, are second only to the Beatles in worldwide album sales.

    They still hold records for crowds at their 1970s concerts.

    A music industry insider said: “They had so many hits that I am sure the reunion would be a major success.”

    So, what do you think???[/url]

    I've totally been into 'No Quarter' lately. It starts out so trippy and then breaks into one of the sweetest jams ever.

    Jimmy, 58,

    He just turned 63.

    Look I'd love a tour but the only reference I've seen is this same article. I would think there would be more sources.

    There are some really sick live versions of this song floating around. Let me know if you want me to send you one.

    Would that be the studio version, or the fabulous 12.5 minute monster on the Song Remains The Same soundtrack, or some other version?

    I love that slow building tension. I like PJ's Release for the same reason.

    my favorite album is physical graffity. for me the best album of all time, every song is so different but they somehow work together better then any other collection of songs. and Led Zeppelin in concert is just mind blowing - no other band does like them till this day. if you want a proof just check the Achilles Last Stand on the DVD, best thing ive ever seen.

    That sucks. But at least you were still able to see them at all. And for that I am still jealous.

    "Physical Graffiti" is the #1 best rock album ever made...

    IMO..

    "In the light" has so many layers of musical genius to it..

    and that's just one track of a double album..

    A-mazing!

    That would be awesome.

    Just recently started watching the self-titled DVD and some of the footage is amazing (some of the editing sucks, and also a little cheesy) but its such good quality. I really believe that they were just the fucking best. If there was one band that I could see at their prime, they would be it. Such a good fucking live show.

    My favorite part of the DVD right now is when Jimmy Page is playing White Summer by himself. Its fucking incredible. How Many More Times is also sweet, and Nobody's Fault but mine.

    The only song that is really missing from this DVD in my opinion is No Quarter. Would love to see a long JPJ solo.

    I have a copy of the entirety of one of the Knebworth 1979 shows, and the version of No Quarter on that is killer, goes on for about 14 mins i think. Pity that wasnt on the DVD. And its a pity that Thank You and Heartbreaker arent on the DVD too - but hell, its hard to argue with perfection, which that DVD definitely is. If there's anything better than the performance of Achilles Last Stand from Knebworth, I havent seen it. Absolutely amazing. They were the best, and always will be the best

    Is there any way that you could make me a copy of this? If so, I'd be happy to trade something in return.

    No quarter was omitted because TSRTS Version is flawless. No need to try and top perfection...

    and the "editing sucks" is actually great editing. Most of the places with cheesy effects are used due to the fact that actual pieces of the video were missing, so they'd have to draw parts out a bit... and other times its actually bootleg videos that Jimmy obtained in order to complete parts where the "official" copy had dry rotted.
