The surviving members of Led Zeppelin have refused to rule out another reunion.
Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones made a rare public appearance today (September 21) to launch their new Celebration Day concert film of their 2007 show at the London’s 02 Arena. After a screening of the film at the Odeon West End, the bandmates answered questions from the assembled press.
But when pressed on the possibility of coming together again for more shows, the band remained evasive. When asked if the 02 show had excited them enough to regroup once more, Jimmy Page answered, “Can I just ask you all if you enjoyed the film?”
When the journalist in question retorted by asking if he could have his question answered, Robert Plant replied, “That would be kiss and tell.”
Elsewhere in the Q&A session, Plant declared that, “Mumford and Sons excite me.”
The DVD release comes five years after their legendary 02 performance, which saw them reunite to honour late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. The surviving members were joined by Jason Bonham – the son of their late drummer John Bonham, for a two-hour set, which included classics ‘Whole Lotta Love,’ ‘Rock And Roll,’ ‘Kashmir,’ and ‘Stairway To Heaven’.
As many as 20 million people applied for tickets to the gig – the band’s first headline show in 27 years – but only 18,000 were lucky enough to win in the lottery.
Celebration Day will screen in cinemas from October 17, following premieres on September 13. The film will then get a general DVD release on November 19.
The tracklisting for Celebration Day is as follows:
‘Good Times Bad Times’
‘Ramble On’
‘Black Dog’
‘In My Time Of Dying’
‘For Your Life’
‘Trampled Under Foot’
‘Nobody’s Fault But Mine’
‘No Quarter’
‘Since I’ve Been Loving You’
‘Dazed And Confused’
‘Stairway To Heaven’
‘The Song Remains The Same’
‘Misty Mountain Hop’
‘Kashmir’
‘Whole Lotta Love’
‘Rock And Roll’
Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant has previously ruled out another reunion of the band, saying in a 2011 interview with Rolling Stone: “I’ve gone so far somewhere else that I almost can’t relate to it… It’s a bit of a pain in the pisser to be honest. Who cares? I know people care, but think about it from my angle – soon, I’m going to need help crossing the street.”
