laststand Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 To see/hear Robert's answer to THE QUESTION go to bbc.co.ukhomepage You need to go to the BBC iPlayer part of the website. He was interviewed on The One Show tonight and at the end of the programme gives the answer. It must be the official answer! Maybe someone else can work out how to give a direct link. Sorry I haven't got a clue how to do that. Quote

SIBLY Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 There's a thread about this in the NEWS forum. Basically they finished the interview by asking THE question and he started talking about one of his local football teams. Quote

Dharmabum Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 More speculation... A friend of mine, who is somewhat connected to the recording industry, is stating that an anonymous band has booked MSG in Fall '08 and the Staples Center in Spring '09 for something like 14 days each. Although the band, whoever they are, would never play 14 nights in a row, the idea is that a range of dates must be reserved as a block. I have no idea if this is true. My friend, however, is convinced that the band is Zeppelin based upon the timing, the length of the reservation, and the fact they can set-up shop on the east and west coasts, knowing that people will come to them. Seems like a reasonable assumption to me. Still, I know someone else who works at MSG and she hasn't heard anything except the speculation that if Zeppelin did play there, it would be the biggest event they ever hosted. Fuel for the fire.

Peep Solero Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Hahaha. Way to be, Robert. Way to be. Indeed! and a very memorable moment was created, simply hilarious…as though anyone thought he'd actually cave in and be honest and use coherent words on that subject, not in this lifetime…or maybe? nah leave it!

myledzep Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 He did not answer. Which is a good thing IMO. True yet his non response may also generate a ton of speculation. Quote
mordor_maiden Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 It sounds like he's very tired of hearing the question. Quote
Cactus Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 This is my logic - call it wishful thinking if you like; Robert will never admit to wanting a Led Zeppelin reunion tour, nor will he comment on any possibility of there being a tour, until his commitments with Alison Krauss are completed. I think it's dumb what some people here have been saying about Krauss - I am not saying that she is keeping him from a tour. But if he were to come out now and say "yes, we are playing MSG and Staples centre for 30 days at the end of the year," it would be utter pandemonium. Every question he is asked by journalists and fans will be regarding the "Led Zep tour". My guess would be that after the Krauss thing, they will get together to have another meeting, and collect their royalty checks, and decide whether or not to tour. Until then we won't get an answer one way or the other. Quote
AlexKx Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Can anyone tell me why Bon Jovi can play Giants Stadium but Led Zeppelin have to play some old small place like Madison Square Gardens? Are you people's intellect hindered because they played MSG before and did a concert film there so that means they have to play that venue again? I thought we were talking about the third best selling group in the world? Quote
Buddhak0n Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Speculation? Guys guys.. just relax we're way beyond the point of speculation... What you're waiting for now is Affirmation. You know they're coming. I know they're coming and the only thing that can stop it now would be his girlie talking him out of it.. or a sudden change of heart ... Sure people can change their minds and so on.. But as things go right now.. the only thing we're awaiting is the announcement and the ticket sale process. You know this. I know this. I'll go to MSG sure. Never been to New York City .. Might as well make my first trip although i've always been like 2 hours away lol.. for Zep. Sounds great. Quote

Zeppelin is going to play where they want to play. Quote

Bill Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 I would rather see a concert at MSG than any stadium. The worst seats at an arena are better than at least half the seats at a stadium. An arena would be a much better experience than a stadium. Quote
