Led Zeppelin to reform after 17 years apart | News | Guardian Unlimited Music

What are peoples' thoughts on this?
Good or bad thing?
Do people want new material?
Will it just damage their legacy?

Good thing. No new material, it's bound to be crap, give the punters what they want.

But "They a reforming for a concert"? Surely a full tour is in order?

I should say that I think they are hyped up too much, but there's no doubting they had a few great tunes.

if they can still pull it off live then fair enough.

i saw Page and Plant a few years ago at Reading. actually, it was a very very good show...

It's the closest we'll ever get to a full zeppelin reunion so here's hoping they just manage to maintain the brilliance they used to have and dont slander there good name.

LONDON -- One of the most eagerly awaited
concerts of the decade will
celebrate the life and work of Ahmet Ertegun,
founder of Atlantic Records
and much missed mentor to some of the greatest
names in music.

Profits from this amazing show will go to the
Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund
which provides students with annual scholarships
to universities in the UK,
USA and Turkey. In addition, a music scholarship
open to all will be
established at Ravensbourne College in the UK.

The incomparable Led Zeppelin will headline the
tribute to the man who
founded Atlantic Records in 1947. Robert Plant,
Jimmy Page and John Paul
Jones will be joined by Jason Bonham, the son of
their late drummer John
Bonham.

In addition, Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman and the
Rhythm Kings, Foreigner and
Paolo Nutini, all touched by Ertegun's guiding
hand over the years, will
play on the night. Paolo was the final British
artist that Ahmet mentored.

It will be a tribute from UK artists that Ertegun
worked with in a 60 year
career.


Tickets - £125

Due to the anticipated overwhelming demand for
this concert, tickets will
be available by ballot only.

Fans should register their names at

At least it's a ballot, means everybody has as good a chance getting a ticket.

Oh, and thank God Paolo Nutini can make it.

Hmm, on the plus side you get to see Led Zeppelin. On the down side, 125 buckaroos and you get to see Foreigner.

You could head to the bar while Foreigner (and Paolo) are on.

Although I think Foreigner are now "cool" after being in The Sopranos. Probably.

Led Zep absolutely suck dog dick. Wanky, screechy, self-indulgent, tight trousered nonsense. I thought punk wiped all this kind of shite out in the 70s? We have to endure it again?
