However the Page / Plant thing kinda makes since from what I have read John Paul Jones has been the hold out for a reunion. So heck with him let Page / Plant / Janson Bonham fire it up. They would bring in the same amount of people.

Ok....so Desert Trip 2017 is on and we now know when (1st and 2nd weekends in October)
We still just don't know who.
And how I know this. I just called the Empire Polo Club and flat out asked the guy who answered the phone.
Very nice guy. He said yes it is for sure a go and told me what weekends.

Wow... so cool and all it took was a phone call. This is genius - the shortest
path is the best path. Now you need to ask who -haha.

LOL what?! I love Page and Plant but they have given Jones the short end of the stick every opportunity they could. Jones has ALWAYS expressed interest in doing it again, and the others either say no or leave him out. Robert is the one who is always the hold out, ALWAYS. So I don't know where you think Page and Plant is a possibility, unless I'm reading that completely wrong.

NO you read it right. I read an article quite awhile ago that Page / Plant were ready to do a some LED ZEPPELIN shows but this time it was John Paul Jones the could not be part of it. He had a prior commitment and opera or a broadway show or something he was involved in that would take a year or more to complete.
I think what ever JPJ was working might now be finished.
You do not have to believe me and I cant remember where i read this. But its out there so please find it and post the link here! and thanks in advance!

I truly don't think we'll ever see Robert and Jimmy on stage playing again.

It could easily happen (as it has in the past) - just not under the name 'Led Zeppelin'

It could. I don't think it will. Jimmy hardly plays, Plant is very anti-Zep reunion. I just don't see it happening. At least not for any sort of extended tour type setting, even if its not under the Zep name. I'm well aware its been done before. I just think after all the time thats passed its different now if they get together and I just don't see it happening. I'd love to be wrong, I adore Zeppelin. I just don't think I am. If Page/Plant play Desert Trip, thats basically Zeppelin and I'd be truly shocked (as well as fly out to see it).

I believe Plant thinks Led Zeppelin was over when Bonham died. And even with Jason on drums it is just not Led Zeppelin. And maybe in his heart he just doesn't want to call the line up with Jason playing drums Led Zeppelin out of respect to John Bonham and Led Zeppelin. That is why I thought a Page /Plant concert might just happen. Also money talks and for two weekends out of his life he might just say oh well. I know Plant is active but I think he plays mostly small venues. He could experience the rush of 75,000 screaming Zeppelin fans one more time.

Led Zeppelin is the only thing that would do it. I think they should have left well enough alone and not gone for a Desert Trip 2.

There is an offer on the table for The Police
Yawn.....
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.................
Maybe worth going if Boney M., Mud and U2 are added to the bill.
