Plant is great by himself. Sure he has influences, show me any great who doesn't! I was at the final concert of Page & Plant in 98 when they concluded their "Walking into Clarksdale" tour in Memphis. They were GREAT but you kept asking yourself what would it be like if Jones was on the rightside of the stage and Jr. was poundin the skins behind them???
But the whole notion of a "Zepp Reunion" without Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham Jr. is just ludicrous. The guys obviously don't hafta do it for the money (I was told Plant turned down $200MILL for a world tour a couple years ago!) but I think they owe it too their fans to at least do one more tour. Afterall they didn't retire and then Bonham died, he died while they were still an active band. Now more than ever folks want to see them and Jr. is the only worthy substitute for his dad.
Just a TRUE farewell/reunion tour. Not this "gimme more money we'll keep touring every couple years" like KISS and The Eagles do. Just a simple 1 year world tour and then ride off into the sunset... :beer:
