Re: Question about a zep reference?

["Bob Blagdon" <b.blagdon@xxxxxxxxx>]

no no no, I forget the actual meaning of the letters but it was reference to
a supposed LZ reunion of sorts that never panned out.  Its been a long while
maybe 1984 or so but it was supposed to be members of Yes/Zep together.
They got into the studio and there is some rehearsal tapes out but thats as
far as it got.
Again, not completly sure as from 1975-1990 is sort of a blur in my mind :-O
Someone told me that there was a decade called the 80s but I frankly dont
remember it.
