I’d much rather see this than some half baked 2007 reunion. I really, really don’t think that Page and especially Plant will want to tarnish the great Zeppelin reputation with a tour.
I’m not saying they couldn’t pull it off….I just don’t want them to be yet another group of old men from the 60’s/70’s that people will go see as some sort of novelty act.
Now, a series of small concerts in smaller venues, not billed as Led Zeppelin, would be great!The Honeydrippers album was in the planning stages with Ahmet Ertegun of Atlantic Records. Unfortunately, Ertegun died and Plant annonced that he was scrapping plans for the album.
Yes, the work with Alison Krauss was done last fall. I recall seeing the name of the guitarist who worked with them. I can’t recall it, but when I looked it up, it seemed like an interesting collaboration. The guy has a reputation for really off-the-wall avant-garde stuff.No it isn’t. I saw the “Mighty Rearranger” tour when it hit Toronto in the summer of 05 and Plant was nothing short of brilliant. He sang wonderfully and everyone agreed he was right on. He may not sound like he did in 79 but he has alot of class and didn’t in any way embarass himself 2 years ago. (He’s always been great everytime I’ve seen him since 88.)I’m guessing LED ZEPPELIN would be a bit more profitable than HONEYDRIPPERS. And personally, I’d rather hear a bad live version of Imagrant Song than a perfect Steve Hoffman mastered studio version of Sea Of Love.
I could be wrong, maybe Honeydrippers will reunite and sell 100 million albums?
