Re: Tour speculation

Connie threw out some of her ideas for the P/P World Tour '98:

I'd prefer 50/50, but 60/40 is okay... *provided* they release the album
early enough so I can listen to it a couple hundred times before the concert.
I'll be seeing them in Atlanta, which is always very near the beginning of
the tour.

You're probably right about this one as well. <sigh> I'd love to hear 'Ship
Of Fools' or 'In The Mood' or 'If I Were A Carpenter' sung in person and my
daughter would love to hear 'Emerald Eyes' played in person.

Tearing."  
 
Two words: 'Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp' (is that more than 2 words?):) I read an
interview with Robert recently in which he said they tried to get it ready
for the '95 tour but they just couldn't. My fervent hope is that they *try
again*!!:) It's one of my favourite Zep songs and I'd love to hear it in
person.

Will our love go on and on and on and on and on and on,
