RE: Sentimentallity or reuniting

[Michael Eric Lee <melee_au@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep, they were thinking of something using Tony Thompson on drums, I 
guess to erase the disaster that was Live Aid, but, as Page said 
regarding the secret recording sessions in Bath, 1986:

'it could have been really good - but that evening (at the second 
rehersal) Tony Thompson had a car accident. If you were looking for 
omens, they were there. So we stopped.'

The thought seems to have been definitely there, but a higher 
authority intervened, and, the rest is history. They never really 
tried again.

 ... and the Atlantic 40th gig proved that it is not possible. As Page 
recently quoted:
'Maybe, at this point in time, it's just too late.'

Is that what the "surviving lads" were thinking when they began a 
reunion in
early 1986?  It is probably fortunate that Page (or his guitar pedal, 
if you
look at it that way) managed to piss off Plant so much that he called 
it off
;)
