Zep US Tour?
Could it be true? Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page said today [while in Tokyo promoting their "new" album Mothership] he was ready to take the iconic band on a world tour after burning up the stage at last month's reunion concert in London... but it probably won't be before September.
"The amount of work we put into O2 was what you would normally put into a world tour anyway," Page, 64, said of the intense rehearsing the band did for the December 10th benefit concert at London's O2 Arena for late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.
If we thought this years Police tour was big - which sold 1.8 million tickets to the tune of $212 million - how big could a world wide once-in-a-lifetime tour including the band's three surviving members — Page, singer Robert Plant and bassist-keyboardist John Paul Jones — and the late John Bonham's son Jason on drums? [Not that the boys in the band need the money]
For a guy who was all of the age of 9 when the band stopped performing because of the untimely death of Bonham, I say bring on a world tour, play a couple of nights in every major city in America [especially the TD Bank North Garden] and give us one more chance to walk like a Fool In The Rain, be a Heartbreaker and take the Stairway to Heaven.
