Led Zeppelin Fans Getting Excited:

This past month, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page declared that the infamous, 70s hard rock band might be ready to hit the road once more. His announcement caused a surge in speculation that a full-scale Led Zeppelin reunion tour might not be as "over the hills and far away" as once thought. Following their first true public appearance on stage in 27 years in London , England , this past December at a charity concert, Page, now flaunting a Beethoven-esque shock of white hair, suggested that other shows might be a possibility at a news conference in Japan .

However, he made it clear not to expect anything before at least September.

Singer Robert Plant already has his hands full and is currently touring with bluegrass star Alison Krauss, promoting their album, "Raising Sand," which debuted at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard charts this past spring. The duo's tour will end this May at London 's Wembley Arena.

In December, when Led Zeppelin proved themselves more then capable of delivering the same roaring live performance that made the band famous in its heyday, there has been a fury of tour rumors amidst the fervor of fans and critics alike.

When the reunion concert was announced, the Internet site selling tickets crashed with applications from fans desperate to see the rockers.

At the charity concert for Ahmet Ertegun, late Atlantic Records co-founder, Page and Plant joined the stage with their old band mate, bassist John Paul Jones, for the first time in nearly three decades. They were accompanied by Jason Bonham on drums; the son of the late John Bonham, whose untimely death brought the band to an end in 1980. The newly reunited band plowed through a roaring two-hour set of Zeppelin classics, opening with the first track on Led Zeppelin's immortalized Led Zeppelin I, "Good Times Bad Times." They brought the evening to a close with "Rock and Roll" and Plant sang the most fitting line of the night, "been a long time since I've rock and rolled" as Page's heavy guitar riffs cut through the heavy London air with fury for the last time that evening.

"That is what was so thrilling really - to come together after all this time and find that there was so much chemistry and so much electricity involved in these four characters," Page said of the show.

Included in their set list were such staples in the Led Zeppelin catalog such as the unwaveringly popular "Stairway to Heaven," prompting lighters to be taken out, but this time in competition with the glow of digital camera screens and cell phones, showing how truly long it has been since the band has last taken the stage. In "Dazed and Confused," fans reveled as Page pulled primal whines out of his Gibson Les Paul with a violin bow among a dazzling display of green lasers during the song's ending jam.

Led Zeppelin clearly put to rest any skepticism about the band's ability to still play at their finest. Despite pre-show rumors, Plant can still belt out the high notes and the band that left the stage that night was still the same impassioned and triumphant Led Zeppelin of our parents' generation. They more than proved that they can still perform at the level that originally earned them their legendary reputation, absolutely dominating the rock scene for a decade.

Led Zeppelin redefined rock music, becoming arguably one of the most innovative and dynamic acts in history. Their fusion of blues-influenced, guitar-driven hard rock and ethereal lyricism made them a household name by the early 70s. The band has sold an estimated 300 million albums worldwide and lived the epitome of superstardom, having their own extravagant jumbo jet, Starship I and record label, Swan Song. Led Zeppelin's days as the biggest band in the world came to a crashing halt after their highly talented and ferocious drummer, John "Bonzo" Bonham, always a man of excess, died after a day of binge drinking at Plant's home on September 24, 1980. The band opted not to continue on, although Page and Plant have collaborated at times over the years and there have been two attempts at reunion shows over the years: one with Phil Collins on drums at 1988's Live Aid concert, which received more than its fair share of criticism.

Following the announcement of their best-of release, "Mothership," which hit store shelves this past November, Led Zeppelin fever has hit hard. Their stellar reunion show left fans begging for more, however they walked off stage without a word as to the future of the band.

At Page's recent news conference to promote "Mothership," he said, "I can assure you the amount of work that we put into the O2 (concert), for ourselves rehearsing and the staging of it, was probably what you put into a world tour."

But, "Robert Plant also had a parallel project running and he's really busy with that project, certainly until September, so I can't give you any news."

Plant, who was interviewed at a New York Knicks game by the Madison Square Garden Network recently, said of a possible Led Zeppelin tour, "You never know what is around the corner."

Is the great Led Zeppelin ready to "ramble on" and take to the skies once more? We'll have to wait until September to find out.
