Led Zeppelin guitarist wants world tour

By ERIC TALMADGE, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 16 minutes ago

TOKYO - Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page said Monday he was ready to take the iconic band on a world tour after burning up the stage at last month's reunion concert in London. But it probably won't be before September.

"The amount of work we put into O2 was what you would normally put into a world tour anyway," Page, 64, said of the intense rehearsing the band did for the Dec. 10 concert at London's O2 Arena.

The band's three surviving members — Page, singer Robert Plant and bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones — were joined at the sold-out benefit show by the late John Bonham's son Jason on drums.

Page, who was in Japan to promote the new Zeppelin release, "Mothership," said the two-hour-plus concert was proof that Led Zeppelin can still perform at its best.

He said the band, which formed in 1968, was ready musically to get back together and take it out on a wider run, but it was not clear when it would go on tour as the singer had other plans.

"Robert Plant has a parallel project and he is busy with that until September," Page said.

Plant and bluegrass star Alison Krauss will begin their world tour with a run of shows in the southern U.S. this spring. The two released an album in October called "Raising Sand" that debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard chart in the U.S. The duo will tour Europe in May before returning for North American shows still to be announced for June and July.

Page said the band set their standards very high before agreeing to do the reunion, their first in 20 years. Led Zeppelin broke up in 1980 after the elder Bonham's death.

Page said they rehearsed for weeks, apprehensive that the cohesion they had in the 1970s when they were at their peak might be hard to rediscover.

"We wanted people who might not have even been alive in 1980 when we finished to understand what we were," he said.

Page said all went well until he broke a finger in three places, forcing the band to postpone the show for several weeks.

"But we did the show, and it was great," he said. "It was instant in terms of chemistry."

again thank you, that's really good to know. Cos if it doesn't take laser, which most don't, I do need a couple of days advance to sort out credit card so a week is MORE than enough Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaw.

no word if they're doing it again this year, but if it helps last year they had a payment plan that let you pay a bit more than half up front and the balance a month or two down the road...but you could always email them too, they are great about getting back to you quickly

I'm staying at a hotel there for just the Sunday night after the festival is over- to get a good night sleep and to shower...

No Murfreesboro will be fine (about 30 miles away). Do you plan on attending many concerts or just primarily PJ?

As of now, primarily PJ. Still waiting to see the line up though for my final decision.

I dont think PJ will be there. it looks like the headliners will be
Fri - widespread panic
Sat - rush
Sun - phil lesh and friends (trey anastasio included)

got this off another board. they are also saying lineup will be announced tommorrow.
