Tour speculation

>A few weeks backs with some fellow zepheads, an interesting question was
posed:  What do you think will be the content of the next tour?  Mostly
songs from the new album?  A mix of old and new, and in what sort of
percentage?  If Zep songs this time, which ones?  Pure speculation at this
point, I know but it made for some fun conversation and might help distract
us from another "self-destruct" sequence.

>So, I'll venture forth first into this unchartered territory.  I predict
(drum roll insert here), 60% new songs (about 50 mintues to an hour of the
new stuff) and 40% zep stuff (+ obligatory 10 minutes of clapping before
the equally obligatory encore(s)).  I'd like to say we'd hear a few numbers
from the respective solo years as well, but for some reason, I rather doubt
it.  Of the Zep stuff, I think we'll hear some things not done, or only
hinted at, in the last tour. This is probably mostly wishful thinking but
here goes.  Yes, I do think they'll play "In the Light" for McCue (welcome
back); they'll have another more successful run at "Achilles" for JR, "I'm
Gonna Crawl", "Night Flight" and, just for me (sure!) "Wearing and Tearing."
