Some people have obviously never actually listened to a Led Zep album - heavy metal indeed, what an insult!

The comment about 'the heaviest folk band on the planet' made me laugh though, I was just listening to 'The Battle of Evermore' and thinking they had employed some kind of top class folk singer for that track - one Sandy Denny apparently.

Anyway, they're a rock band through and through, one of the best ever. I just bought three albums on CD having let the vinyl gather dust for many years, and they took me straight back to my youth. Sigh. I forgot how brilliant and how sensual they were, and how mellow many of the tracks are, I love their ballads. I saw them once back in the seventies, and would rather remember that and have the records.

It's just a shame that most blue hearted musicians like myself, can't afford to go. My les paul might not have history like jimmy's, but is still my left arm that wouldn't be sacrificed for any course. Why oh why can't our idols get past any differences for 12 months, stop trying to use the excuse "only if it wasn't about the money" (not that zeppelin has) but many have. It's about us, your fans. Please do a world tour. Dispite the fact that the ballot is fair. Long term fans deserve more. Being born in the 70's, zeppelin was amongst all the big names being played while i was running round the house, but after re-discovering them at about age 15, they were the one's to steal my heart. My father was a pretty accomplished guitarist, so i was always trying to find my influences like he did in 'zappa & hendrix'. I found Zeppelin. I'll just have to go and crank Song Remains the same, listening for that wicked blues jam towards the end of Dazed and Confused ; Jimmy, Jonesy & Bonzo dancing.

They would be foolish not to televise it ppv.

Andy Fawcett must be dreaming (or have talked to someone who wasn't Robert!).

Robert is, was and always has been a HUGE soul fan (He was a Mod in the early 60s and also loved Northern Soul.)

I know, 'cos I was there in Kidderminster at the time and knew Robert in those far-off early days, remembering many conversations with him about the latest soul sounds.

I'm sure that I am among the younger of the Zeppelin crowd at 20 years old, but nonetheless I believe these men to be the absolute most talented band ever. I grew up with my father always listening to all of the greats like, The Who, Pink Floyd, Ozzy, Guns, but Led Zeppelin will always be my favorite. I wouldnt miss this one for the world Dad. I Love You.

I grew up with Pink Floyd & Led Zepp since I was 14. I'm 40 now born, brought up in Bangladesh. I saw Jimmy Page's US tour at the Worcester Centrum, Mass, in Nov '89, it was unbelieveable. Next morning news paper said R. Plant was present among the audience. Jason was on drums. Jimmy played Dazed & Confused calling it "Chase", trust me it was a hell of a chase. Encore was Stairway musical with thousands of glowing zippos. I'll never forget. I'm so dissaponted not to find the Live Aid concert part of the three (which I saw live from Dhaka in '85) included in the 4 part DVD & no one has answer to that. I'd love to see Led Zepp but just cant make it to this one. Looking fwd to the World Tour, hope they know we r still around. Have high hopes. Must mention my ultimate dream of seeing Roger Waters came true last February in Mumbai. I made it to the front row, I made a small A4 size banner with a marker pen saying "FANS FOR 27 YEARS - BANGLASDESH". Roger saw me & mentioned me in the encore.

Zep fans have proven how great this band was and still is by showing how much they would like to see them again. anyone who disagrees with this is obviously deaf. plant is the greatest white blues singer in the world, combined with the talents of Page and JPJ the reunion will be stunning. anyone who finds their music a headache is still in Daniel Odonnell land!!!!!

saw Led Zepp in Frankfurt 1980 , fantastic memories, anyone there?
Thankyou to the American army guys who shared their wine, cheese and bread, also the Australian (with the grubby bare feet) who passed the food around, WHO CARED AT THE TIME!!!!!!!

God save us from this headache music. LZ are responsible for polluting the musical world with so-called 'heavy metal'

Please, no more!

And as for thier 'dedication' to Ahmet Ertegun, how hypocritical.He established Atlantic records on the basis of jazz and soul, two forms of music which LZ openly despised. (I well remember a conversation which I had in a West Bromwich pub with Robert Plant, around '73, , in which he dismissed arrogantly soul music, and all of those who liked it.
