Re: Reunion Rumor **NON-VERIFIED**

[Steve Thomson <zeppelin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Probably residual "fall-out" from the old Sun web article and/or the 
bogus JPJ talked to Q107 rumor. The rumor that Led Zeppelin would be 
touring this summer seems to have spread like wildfire in the classic 
rock community. People want to believe it no matter how many denials 
they hear.

As I wrote the other day, many of us logically state we feel a reunion 
for a "greatest hits" stadium tour would be a bad idea, but damnit, just 
the very notion of "Zeppelin on tour" is like opium. For those of us who 
listen to bootlegs on a regular basis, a small part of us (perhaps 
illogical) bristles with excitement at the notion that this powerhouse 
band we listen to regularly might be available to see live onstage soon. 
They won't be. They can't be. The heart, the core, the very engine is 
missing and always will be. The come-down to reality is bitter indeed.
