While the write up is outdated as far as newsworthy to some Zeppelin fans, Plant did state two years as a timeframe.    Not to derail this thread but if one wants to read a WTF write up on the net one was provided recently by Jack Bruce of Cream.  You can read about it here:

Of course there's these comments to extend Jack's opinion:

Jack seems bitter.

When I saw the Star Wars chick and saw where she was from I laughed so hard I literally fell off the couch. I instantly turned to my wife and stated "it's not that she said she's a Star Wars fan, but that she's from Enfield Connecticut"!

I happen to live in Enfield Connecticut and I've never heard of her (and I know alot of collectors). She's also incorrect stating there's nothing here. If she's a Star Wars fan you'd think she'd know that LEGO's U.S. Headquarters are in town!

I could provide a ton of links to various quality material.  I'd have to go through what's been shown above so far.  The complete show is up on a couple of torrent sites, but since my pc is shot from a flood a couple of years ago, I'm going to wait for a trade or a tree of the show.  It's out there.

Unfortunately, my pc's audio and video card are shot and I can't view or hear anything.  Oh well, I'm going to be obtaining a copy of the show.  There's so much on the net a quick search will reveal some good material.

Another memorable night for the aging dinosaurs!

Hi Reid,

I apologize for not responding earlier.  Rumors abound about the remaining members all the time.  Right now, I've heard the JPJ and Robert are just performing at the charity gig and then moving on.  Then again, on FBO there was the mention of 10 dates on reserve at Giants stadium in '08.  I haven't heard of new studio material.  In addition, there was mentions that they weren't going to audio or video tape the show which caused a petition to be created.  I've also heard other acts on the bill are doing both, so it seems like the show will be taped in some capacity as it makes sense.  If not pro shot, then I'm sure numerous audience members will both audio and video tape the event.

Since I've collected Zep for over 20 years now, I'll end up obtaining an example of everything just to have for the collection.  The collectors edition is a neat package.  There's various reviews of how the material sounds all over the place.  I'll compare the new package with the bootlegs and with the Garden Tapes reviews to see what's been altered.

If you have any questions or are looking for anything audio or video related feel free to drop me a line.  There's some cool websites to check out.  If you'd like some sites to check out let me know. By the way nice avatar!

If you like the fantasy parts of the movie, search out the "First Cuts".  You'll see alternate footage.  For example, Robert Plant's sequence is quite different than what was finally released.  Included in his sequence is more footage of him with his ex wife Maureen.

For Zeppelin, the vinyl will always be superior in sound quality when compared to the cd's because they were recorded analog not digital.  While Kevin Shirley is a genius when doing the sound for the Zeppelin releases today, nothing compares to the sound on vinyl.

If one report I have read holds true, Harvey stated they may do more than a one shot.  I wonder if they could ever possibly find that "one note" as Robert stated in a past interview that they'll revisit.  Again time will tell.

"We have revisited 'The Song Remains The Same'," says  Jimmy Page, "and can
now offer the complete set as played at Madison Square  Garden. This differs
substantially from the original soundtrack released in  1976, and highlights the
technical prowess of Kevin Shirley, who worked with us  on 'How The West Was
Won'. When it comes to 'The Song Remains The Same', the  expansion of the DVD
and soundtrack are as good as it gets on the LED ZEPPELIN  wish list."
