I can't believe Plant turned down $14 million to play Coachella with Jimmy and John. Its absurd. What if they had lost the lawsuit?
Clearly Plant is not motivated by money.
In any case the Zep reissues programme will present a steady income.
The question might be, if Zep had agreed to play, who would have dropped out?
My guess would be Roger Waters.

Why did John Paul Jones get named in the action?
He wasn't one of the composers, so presumably doesn't receive publishing income.
No doubt he was involved on the creative process, as were (Stones) Brian/Charlie/Bill....but that's another story!
In the My Sweet Lord case it was GH who got sued, not the 'sidemen' also.

Got a Desert Trip "newsletter" in the mail yesterday...
Not much (if any) new info in it, but for those with GA passes, it did show a " GA Standing Only" area in front of the GA area designated for chairs and blankets.. that was news to me...
Counting Down..(!!!!)

Led Zeppelin Turned Down $14 Million for "Desert Trip" Gigs
"According to The Pulse Of Radio and Showbiz411.com, Zeppelin turned down $14 million for two reunion performances. Jimmy Page said yes and Robert Plant chose to pass. So now you know which member of Zep to blame..."

who to blame? yeah,Page-if there is one person i respect in the music business it's Robert Plant.bringing out this fake Led Zeppelin to cash in for a night would be a joke.
it's not Led Zeppelin,you're defrauding the public if you do it and there is only one reason-money.
One of his best lines was when asked "why don't you just use Jason Bonham and continue on?' he said"because he's not as good as his dad" it's not Led Zeppelin without Bonzo,plain and simple.It would be as if Page died and you brought in another guitar player with the other three and tried to sell it for a cash grab.
I love Jimmy Page,i've seen him with Zep,the Firm,his solo tour,hell,i own the Death Wish soundtrack but he's got to get past this-it's over.when Bonham died ,Led Zeppelin died,but no matter how many times Robert tries to tell him he can't let it go.
if Jimmy would face reality he could've started a new band and called it the Yardirds and put out some great rock and roll.he could've had his pick of players from the Robinson brothers to who knows who.but damn,trying to bring it back,even auditioning Steven Tyler on vocals,that's fckng embarrassing.

Not sure if there is a slope in the GA area, we figure we will bring chairs for the 1st weekend, and leave them at home for the 2nd if it was a problem. Tried to find the 3 Park & Ride Shuttle locations, as our hotel is outside that immediate area.
Counting Down also...

I love what McCartney said in the new ROLLING STONE magazine where he's on the cover about the Stones and the desert show. "Fossil rock!" he said with a giggle!
He's awesome. No doubt about that. He's like Keith in a way... he keeps going.

OK so you're right about LZ being over.
But... there was this show a while back... and then a live album and a live video from that show...
So that's a bit curious, Plant saying "because he's not as good as his dad" when clearly he was for that week or so. What a load. Jason was AWESOME. He was so awesome that... they released a live album and video of it.
Jason did say this though, which is probably the truth:
“He told me, ‘It doesn’t matter how great you are on the drums, Jason. I love you to bits, and you play absolutely amazing. But John was the drummer in Led Zeppelin, and John was part of me and Jimmy and John Paul. We shared something very, very special.'”

hmmm...you're right...not because of charlie, but because they are 100 years old. if they lose anyone now it's done. if charlie left at the end of the 70's, or even mid-80s maybe we'd have Cozy Powell or Zak Starkey as the drummer.
