Well, they are certainly not going to sound like they did on past tours, after all, there is no John, just son Jason, but I'm sure it isn't all that horrible. It doesn't seem all that fair to judge the entire show by a sound byte.
Dave Grohl offered to be their drummer if they do tour.
Led Zep fans call for world tour
4 hours ago
Led Zeppelin fans are clamouring for the band to announce a world tour following Monday night's triumphant comeback gig.
Guitarist Jimmy Page has already indicated that he would like to play more shows, but singer Robert Plant has so far appeared reluctant to commit.
On the band's official website, fans urged Plant to rethink. "If the crowd response didn't convince Robert then nothing will," one wrote of the show at the O2 Centre in London.
"Led Zep owe us a tour. Robert needs to start thinking about all the fans who love them," said another, while a third wrote: "I hope they will. There are so many of us who missed out on tickets for a concert we'd imagined for nearly three decades."
But others said fans should be content with the one-off show. "You should be grateful that Zeppelin have given the fans so much already, and that they are able and willing to do one more show at their age," one said.
The band are now taking stock and deciding whether to announce a full-blown tour.
"Nothing is set at the moment because their energies were concentrated 100%t on the gig. But a tour has certainly not been ruled out and Jimmy has said it would be a shame not to do more," an insider said.
Twenty million people crashed the website when details of the gig were announced. A lucky 10,000 got tickets for the show, the band's first full set in 27 years.
The three surviving members - Page, Plant and John Paul Jones - were joined by late drummer John Bonham's son, Jason.
The charity event was held in memory of former Atlantic Records boss Ahmet Ertegun, who signed Led Zeppelin.

Most probably, Led Zeppelin isn't going to be embarking on any world tour, because Plant is already scheduled to tour with Alison Krauss and Union Station.
