There's been much discussion on the Led Zeppelin newsgroup I subscribe to regarding this possible get together.  One member who I respect after an administrator posted the news posted that the rumor is true.  All sorts of angles are being researched.  Jason Bonham is the drummer for Foreigner and upon review of their concert dates for October 2007 they have now been cancelled.  Jason's now shown in a new Ludwig drums promotional poster sitting in front of a clear Vistalite style kit with his father's symbol shown on the bass drum head.  Jason has been utilizing this style drum kit at Foreigner shows.



There's quite a bit of footage of Plant returning to his voice of old and is signing more powerful than he has in years.  All surviving band members are said to be in the best shape they've been in years.  John Paul Jones has been playing quite a bit and his version of "When The Levee Breaks" is an absolute monster to listen to.

According to what was posted on the New Musical Express website the gig is a charity gig being organized by promoter Harvey Goldsmith for November 2007 at the 02 in London.  Of course, there's the flipside report that promoter Harvey Goldsmith has issued a statement warning fans not to fall victim to false sources claiming they have tickets available.  Throw in the statement written on Harry Goldsmith's website in the blog stating that's there an "incredible" upcoming announcement and a reader will get a headache analyzing everything.

Of course with the upcoming November release of the "Early Days" and "Latter Days" revamped and now called "Mothership" along with "The Song Remains The Same" being reissued with songs not previously available on the original release in multiple package formats one has alot to think about.

Do the surviving band members have a reason to regroup?  With all that's stated above yes.  Will it happen?  Time will tell.

Thank you!!  I figured he would just replace it with the lollipop from his other hand.    The image is two years old.  Now he has more Star Wars to play with, and is getting involved in the action figures.  He loves Empire and the battle in the snow.   For him the AT-AT's rule.  He loves the AT-AT's so much that for his last birthday he received the POTF2 version in the first release box.  Hopefully my daughter may someday at least watch the films, but she's too young right now.  If you'd like I can videotape my son ripping open a carded figure such as a vintage POTF Han Carbonite that I purchased from my youth.

Having been a Zeppelin collector over 20 years I can state with pretty much 99.999(well you get the idea) that the words are nothing more than just words typed up on the web.  Jimmy is currently working on a solo album, Robert Plant is going country (the Honeydrippers Volume Two is now canned due to the death of Ahmet) and Jones has moved on.  Recently the Toronto based Q-107 had to basically post a message stating a rumor is false after a rumor was linked to Q-107.

I've met Jason Bonham.  While his drumming style has improved over the years, I can only hope family life has led him to change from his offstage behavior his father had.

The surviving members have no reason to tour.  To quote Jimmy Page "ever onward".

"Don't give me excuses, give me results"!

Speaking of RS's rules, I got my signature removed...the same one I have here.  It's been in my name for 2+ years and nobody has said a word until now.  I wasn't actively promoting the other site.  Dustin was also kind enough to stick a copy of the "rules" for signatures and not promoting other sites.

Needless to say, there are others there who are allowed to have a number of SW collecting sites mentioned in their signatures.  I guess PW is now trying to stamp out all competition. 

Don't feel bad, I received the same email, and pointed out examples as well about the signature line usage.  I inquired for an exception to be made, as the forum rules state exceptions can be made by Philip but was denied.  I find it hard to believe that all those exceptions were granted.  Originally, I did not feel singled out but since your site signature has been removed, one has to wonder what is going on.  I've been around a long time, only post there (or anywhere for that matter) when I feel it's necessary, and not once have I ever utilized profanity, like some members over there, have the respect of the community but I was still denied.  It's Philip's site to do with as he wishes and I have complied as I respect the rules that he has in place.  In turn, a couple of images of mine have been removed from RS as they did not inquire for permission to use them.  His site, his rules, my images, my usage.

EDIT: Fixed signature tag 

Did I really see Elvis last night boarding a space ship?  If so, is there any chance that you can get the rights from McFarlane so I can get a fat Elvis action figure with the spaceship as an exclusive next year? 8>)
