Finally - after nearly 30 years, the surviving members of Led Zeppelin are getting back together with the original drummer's son [Jason Bonham]. I don't care what it takes, I'm going!!!

Yeah, yeah, they will probably sound like old men farting in a bathroom, but to me it will be music to my ears.

Talks are ongoing right now to work out the details, but it seems like it will be a go, unless they die of old age first.

My Story: I was 15 and given the green light from my parents to go see Led Zeppelin at the Pontiac Silverdome, my very first concert!!! My favorite band!!! The album "In through the out door" was #1 on the charts!!! The song "In the Evening" was played hourly on WRIF - oh the excitement!!!! The thrill!!!

Then....

Led Zeppelin's drummer, John Bonham, dies after drinking about 23 beers - The tour was canceled and the closest thing I ever came to a reunion was during "Live-Aid" on TV [there was no super-stereo High-definition TVs back then].

I prefer the palace. I saw the Police when they cam there and i was right behind the stage but it was like we wer right at the front because Sting and even Stewart Copeland where playing to the back just as often as the played to the front. It was a great show and i think Zep would kick ass there.

Tickets are $1500 for OK seats and $2500 for good seats.
I for one would NEVER pay that much for LedZep. Pink Floyd though? Yes.

Saw Robert Plant And The Strange Sensation this summer and he did a few Led Zep songs.

Not so sure whether this reunion is a good idea mind, they're getting on a bit...

Holy crap! I'd only pay that much for a Paul McCartney concert...and even then, I'd have to think long and hard to see if he's REALLY worth it! lol

That's cool tho Brad! Hope you have a great time! :)
