Hi me darhlinks

Look out in the UK media tomorrow (Friday 27 July) for an announcement about a tribute show in London in November (probably), at the O2.

One of the artists involved is akin to being handed the Holy Grail, which was previously thought impossible.


The Rolling Stones are not thought to be involved..... but you never know..........

Scratchin' my head in bewilderment at who this 'holy grail' thing could refer to..

Ah, nevermind. Misunderstood you...thought it's a tribute to the Rolling Stones

Gazza, well some people on this board will just shrug their shoulders and say, "so what, second-raters" but those that adore big time 70s hard rock will go, "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW," I am in heaven!!

LOL

Zeppelin then, I take it. Cant imagine who else would fit that description.

I honestly don't know if I'd be excited or horrified if Zeppelin got back together. Love the band, but I doubt they'd be up to their previous standards at this point. It could end up being embarassing and tarnish their legacy.

Plus, Plant has a new album coming out (duets with Allison Krauss) in Sept. and is supposed to tour in the fall (see [www.tightbutloose.co.uk]), so I doubt a Zeppelin reunion is in his plans.

Zeppelin with Jason Bonham on drums...The tour is next summer.

I am not sure how the announcement will be made, whether at a press conference in a prominent London hotel or by another avenue.

The provisional date was Monday, 26 November 2007.

Woooooooooooooo

You're such a tease SD, but is this just a massive TRIBUTE band or a REAL band?!

Gary Glitter & his Glitter Band?

coincidence? (from Presence)

Slated for a simultaneous release, Warner Home Video debuts brand-new DVD editions of "The Song Remains The Same", now for the first time with all 14 songs from the original concert. The DVD features newly remixed and remastered sound, 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, and boasts more than 40 minutes of added bonus material, including never-before-released performance footage of "Over The Hills And Far Away" and "Celebration Day"; plus performances of "Misty Mountain Hop" and "The Ocean"; a rare 1976 BBC interview with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page; vintage TV footage from the Drake Hotel robbery during the New York concert stand; and a Cameron Crowe radio show.
The discs will be available as follows:

* Deluxe Edition DVD
* Deluxe Edition HD DVD and Blu-ray
* Limited Collector's Edition – 2-disc set includes collectible vintage T-shirt with original album artwork design, soundtrack CD, lobby cards, reproductions of original premiere invites, tour schedule, and more

"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."

"The Song Remains The Same" track listing:

Disc One:

01. Rock And Roll
02. Celebration Day
03. Black Dog (including Bring It On Home)*

<<< One of the artists involved is akin to being handed the Holy Grail, which was previously thought impossible. >>>

Don't suppose we could have a translation from whatever language this is in to ... a variety of English we can all understand ? Out with it for gods sake !

Plant had a concert here in Koper, Slovenia.

It was quite interesting, but taking pictures was a bit hard.

Well we were lucky to get a short meet and greet after the show with Robert, he seemed quite happy but wanted to move on. After all, he spent like 5 days on Slovenian coastline. There were reports of him lying on beach mixed with everyone and nobody noticing him

Here are some pics i took during the low light concert:

Another Led Zeppelin compilation? That must be about six since 1990 (and all of those have been multi disc releases)

Some going for a band who only made eight studio albums....

I am sworn to secrecy (seriously), so can't mention names, thus need to be obtuse.

They are a real band, not something like an Australian Pink Floyd (and NOT Spinal Tap either, lol).

Now it looks like the announcement may have been postponed. B*stards :--(

SD

i guess Plant and Page saw your thread, and have cried off

Yeah, it is getting a bit ridculous with the compilations. There's enough stuff floating around out there for a rarities type compilation, at least one CD's worth, they should focus on that.

Here's what Billboard has to say about all this: [www.billboard.com]

Sounds like more false rumours to me.

SD ... is this what you've been referring to ?

No, it isn't mate, it's a proper gig. As I said above, looks like the announcement has been delayed.

My source is 100% reliable but I suspect logistics have temporarily interfered.
I have known about this event for two months. Press releases such as this need to be timed to greatest effect.

OK, thanks

So SonicDreamer, it is now night time in the UK, morning in LA... when are we gonna know what this is all about? I assume it's Zeppelin.... (glad to see the 1973 tour/Song Remains the Same is FINALLY being done correctly - at least that's what it looks like... MOTHERSHIP is totally STUPID...WTF is THAT about?)

Led Zeppelin - Please do not tour. The legacy is fine where it stands.

I tend to agree. 27 years later and minus Bonham it just wouldn't be the same. I think Zeppelin and the Beatles are the only big-time bands that ever broke up and then subsequently stayed broken up. Can anyone think of any other examples? Almost everyone has made a comeback.

Ok, I just thought of the Cars and the Talking Heads. Broke up, never came back. Any others?
