    I think they might receive some offers they cant refuse if the gig gets good reviews-then we can look forward to another nostalgia tour with $300 seats

    it all depends on how the gig goes.

    I'm not sure about that. They dont need the money, and I think that they realise that a golden oldies tour wouldnt exactly do anything for the Zeppelin legacy. Plant and Jones have always been more interested in their own stuff than any Zeppelin reunions, why would that change now? This show is a tribute to Ahmet Ertegun who signed them originally, and obviously meant a lot to the guys. I dont see a tour coming from this show at all, hope i'm wrong though!

    nobody wants to see them huh? only 20 million for one show and it's for a benefit they don't need to play anywhere and they all are still great. plant might not be able to reach the extreme highs he once did but they are still 3 guys from the greatest rock band of all history..show some respect to your elders.

    I respect the hell out of them....but this will only tarnish their legacy....take a lesson from Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, or Van Halen.

    I have to disagree with Bob. I saw him a couple months ago and it was amazing. This coming from someone who didn't particularly like Dylan.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    They should play one outdoor gig on a 500,000-acre farm/ranch, give 8-12 months notice, and sell admission to every last person who would buy it.

    Everyone who wanted to go would have time to plan, save, and travel.

    Then they could quit and not tease us with reunions anymore. ;)

    .

    you got it

    aren't they doing a random drawing from the number of people that signed up on their website? I think I heard that somewhere.

    *edit* just went and looked. Looks like they were doing tickets by ballot only and the entries are already closed. I would think they would be having some sort of security measures whereby someone can't scalp these tickets. Geeze. I can't even imagine the price. If you could scalp one, you could probably retire or something.

    I see eye to eye with you on a lot of music stuff... but you are WAY off base on this one...

    first of all, if they dont tour- its a one off show for charity to honor a personal friend of theirs- absolutely NOTHING tasteless about that.

    if they do tour- as long as this is the ONLY time... they are band with a fan base of folks born mostly AFTER they played their last show- and even you could go back further to anyone 40 years or younger would have no significant memory of a Led Zeppelin show... and they are getting up there in age... so this could be their last chance to play for their younger fans, but also for themselves.

    The other bands you mentioned have toured countless times since they "broke up" or were "over the hill" for different reasons. You could also throw the Who, Kiss, and dozens of others in there.
