Flight Of Zeppelin?

There was an interesting interview with Robert Plant, Alison Krauss and T-Bone Burnett in the Telegraph, a London newspaper.

A lot of the content is in reference to the exciting collaboration between Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, "Raising Sand," that Burnett produced. However, Plant does make a statement about the upcoming Led Zeppelin reunion show in November in which his initial stance that the upcoming gig will be a one-off affair now seems open for interpretation.

"It's really about going into the place in your soul at the time you get the calling. Everything and anything can be possible, it just depends. At rehearsals, it sounds magnificent. It's very exciting. I was 19 when I joined the New Yardbirds, which became Led Zep, and I'm not 19 now and neither is anybody else, but 39 years later it's got a maturity and a beauty and it's got lust and it's got power. That's what it is. It's a different 'baby, baby'."

Looks like Plant now isn't so quick to dismiss the possibility of additional Led Zeppelin performances. If Plant and Co. decide to cash in on some tour offers, get ready to pay $250+ for a ticket at your local stadium. Rock on....
