Old news.
Jason Bonham is not his dad, and Jimmy Page is STILL drunk.
Here's the AP blurb:
Associated Press
LONDON - Led Zeppelin will perform a one-time comeback concert in memory of Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic Records.
The band will perform together for the first time in 19 years on Nov. 26, at London's The O2 venue, on the banks of the River Thames.
Promoters said the concert would pay tribute to Ertegun -- the label boss who popularized Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Led Zeppelin -- who died in December at age 83.
"During the Zeppelin years, Ahmet Ertegun was a major foundation of solidarity and accord," Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant said Wednesday. "For us he was Atlantic Records and remained a close friend and conspirator."
Ertegun, who founded the Atlantic Records label, signed Plant's band in 1968 and later snapped up the Rolling Stones.
Organizers said Led Zeppelin's remaining original members Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones will headline the concert with late drummer John Bonham's son, Jason, on drums.

Tickets are by ballot, but if you 'win' they cost £125.
On ebay, easily over £1000 per ticket for the very best seats.

heard it's a tribute to Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun
also Pete Townshend, Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings, Foreigner and Paulo Nutini seem to be on the bill
and £125? *certain* band charged alot more for the same arena gig(s)
guess its worth seeing, for the ones who can afford it, of course. (not me :P)

Spicy price indeed... Well, we still got time to think about it. The website where you can sign in for the ballot collapsed a couple of hours after the announcement :-D
A tour would be great. In the press conference though, they stressed it would be a one-off...
Btw:
Floyd's next! :-)
A very reliable source of mine that does not take talking about this lightly, told me today that it looks like the reunion is one step closer. He said Gilmour's wife finally gave in! ;-)
Good hope!
