Let's just say I've been dreaming of this moment for years and leave it at that.
Now, once I came down from the high, I realized... I don't know if a trip to London is going to be feasible on such short notice (considering work, life, money, etc.). I'm still gonna ask around and gauge both interest with my peeps and evaluate whether or not I can pull it off. This, along with a Pink Floyd reunion, is one of the two events in music I would kill to see.
Even if it doesn't work out, I can still cling desperately to this statement:
Like it f*cking won't? Please, just plan the tour already!
Led Zeppelin set for reunion gig in London
LONDON (Reuters) - Rock legends Led Zeppelin were set to announce a one-off comeback concert on Wednesday nearly three decades after disbanding.
The group split in 1980 after the death of drummer John Bonham and have performed only a handful of reunion gigs, last taking the stage 12 years ago at their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Music Web site NME.com reported the show will be held in November in London.
Bonham's son Jason is expected to wield the drum sticks for the band known to many fans simply as Zep.
Rounding out Led Zeppelin, rated the best ever hard-rock band by U.S. channel VH1, would be its classic founding trio of singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones.
NME.com said it would be a one-off show, not a full-fledged reunion tour.
Plant and Page have joined forces over the years, notably on an album in 1994, but Jones has been more distant. When Bonham passed away after a long battle with alcoholism, his bandmates said Led Zeppelin, formed in 1968, had died with him.
November is the scheduled release month for a greatest hits collection from the band.
The reunion gig is slated for London's 02 Arena, which has a capacity of 20,000.
