(let me preface this post by saying most people will call bullshit on it, but im just passing on info from a VERY reliable source!!)
so last night im having my family xmas party and my dads neighbor is there; he's a bigshot lawyer in the NJ/PA area and he has a suite at all the big philly area stadiums (wachovia center/spectrum, lincoln financial field, citizens bank park, the Borgata) that he uses to entertain clients. well for most events he doesnt use his suite (he's a non-drinker, and has little kids at home) so for about the past 3 years he's let my family use it for any sporting events and concerts we want to go to, absolutely for free. we just call him up and say a band is coming we want to see or theres a big game we want to go to, and if he isnt using his tix he just makes a phone call and we can go; i've gone to more games and concerts in the past 3 years than i have in the past 25 yrs of my life! so anyway the stadiums usually get info about shows WAY in advance of the general public, for instance, he was telling us about such reunion show such as VanHalen, Genesis and The Police well over a YEAR before they were even announced to the public; they then pass on the info to their bigger clients so that they can make their arrangements for the suite. so anyway last night he told us he got a call from his contact at citizens bank park and that zeppelin is scheduled to play there, although no date is set yet....
so thats it, folks, just passing on some info! merry christmas to all!!!!!

Thing is, and I've said this before, the people who are most desperate for this supoosed reunion are the promoters, the lawyers..and the stadium managers. It's gonna be rumoursville all the way, cos those guys are desperate for it to happen....personally I aint. I read Robert saying a dozen or more times that he's not interested, and I just hope he sticks to his guns..there's no need to be dragging it out again, the band stand alone and I hope that's how they leave it.
And as Robert has already announced, and sold out a European tour with Ms Krauss early next summer, it's hard to see where any reunion tour would fit in.
unless it was the most detailed, elaborate hoax ever.

I call BS, it's promoters and stadium owners like I said..desperate for it to happen. Rob and Jimmy and John Paul feature in the Times rich list every year..they're worth around £70 M each...do you think for one minute they need a world tour to make up a pension fund? Let's all behave ourselves and hope they leave the legend in tact. Which brings me to this point, yes I would have loved to be at the O2..but why is everyone so excited at the idea of a dvd of the show? If you want to see Zep live on your tv, get the classic dvd, or the new remastered SRTS...I promise you, however good they were in London 2 weeks ago..they were a damn site better in MSG in 1973...watch that, stop being so silly.
Zeppmania shall make us all crazy!
How many PJ bootlegs do you have ?? I have about a dozen, plus the DVD's, cos they are all a buit different. Three shows last tour and the same songs were done very differently. Similarly, there will be stuff on the Ertegun show which will be exciting and new.
I agree, ther is no reason to think a tour will be a good thing for the band, though I'm sure any number of parasites are salivating at the thought.
I was too young also, but I've seen Plant a dozen times. As for PJ, I think it's a different thing, we're experiencing them as they go through their career. It's not the same as the Zepp thing, where most of us got into their music years after it was made, I just fear that any reunion may spoil our ideals of what they were. And I like that they're not lumped in with people like Genesis, the Police...etc
this is my understanding
why put on a big special event and then do a load of dates after?
there could be conflict in doing it and maybe management are half booking places hoping he'll change his mind ..... who knows
Astoria,Dublin,Reading 06,Wembley 07,Sheapards Bush & o2 09 thats multiple Jamgasms!
Plant is the only hold out (as usual)..
If they pair down the dates and make it less demanding on Plant's voice, I bet you will see a reunion tour...

I'm with Rob, I hope he reunites the Strange Sensation for a new album and tour, I like seeing and hearing his current work..away from the fucking media frenzy, and every prick in work going...'oooh Led Zeppelin are playing..I'm going to see them', when for the last 15 years if they ever heard me mention going to a Robert Plant gig, it never even registered with them who he was. I want to keep them special. Having said that...of course I'd go, and buy a shirt, and cry, and all that....but I do that everytime I see sir Rob anyway.
it might not have been the intent at all before that gig but they all said it was so successful (musically I mean) and they seemed to ENJOY it so much, and they had obviously rehearsed extensively.. it's unlikely they wouldn't hitch to do some more..doesn't mean a full tour, but more shows.
I hope so
