I will completely agree with you on the topic of Plants voice. I am and always will be a complete Zeppelin fanatic. I can't remember when Zeppelin wasn't in my repertoire, I probably was listening to them while still in diapers. (And will be listening to them when I'm back in diapers) now that's funny! But I idolized Plant, the most iconic front man in Rock. And in the period of the Led Zeppelin years his voice was 2nd to none. His raw projection his power and range were what separates good Rock bands to specular Rock bands. In my opinion Zeppelin was even bigger than that, the Super Group title started with them. But you can notice the decline in his voice just by listening to Zeppelin 1 and in through the out door. And his solo projects were good but nothing like the voice in 69 . But it comes to reason, figure living the life of a Rock star. Indulgence would almost be mandatory and excessive a norm. I'm sure he has settled down some from the past but even smoking for 50+ years is bound to take its toll on a voice. Then add in the 280 showed a year screaming into a mic, would do (not could do) irreparable damage. And to be completely honest, I just about can't handle him singing anything anymore. Maybe my expectations are too high but sometimes it's like nails on a chalk board. Long Live Led . As a side note. Plant surprised the hell out of me when they played "For Your Life " at the Kennedy Space Center. I thought he did fantastic.

I would think they are in retirement. Leave them alone.

Kevin Stailey-There have been numerous bands who've continued without a quitting band member or a band member who's no longer alive. AC/DC is a perfect example of such incredible success after losing their lead singer. Their album, Back In Black, sold 50 million copies worldwide WITHOUT Bon Scott who was the original lead singer. They didn't just call it quits. While John Bonham was an incredible drummer, he most certainly was replaceable. He contributed to Led Zeppelin's sound, but not to their songwriting.

To these guys, Zeppelin was more than a band or a brand name. It was the magic made by those 4 individuals and for Plant it was about a friendship that began before the band. For Robert Plant, it shows a lot of integrity.

true, however, Robert knows he/his voice cannot hold up for a tour of Zep songs. He's also got the luxury of knowing he's got a large NEW audience bc of his affiliations w/ Alison Krauss and Patty Griffin and the band(s) he's used lead by T Bone Burnett. I also believe somewhere deep down he's a bit embarrassed by his Zep days, for whatever reasons?

I agree with Dave Ferris. It wasn’t just a means to make millions for them. They all loved to create music and the relationship they all had on stage together can never be recreated with another drummer. They all loved each other but Robert and John had a very special relationship and I think Robert held John even closer after Robert’s son died. John was the only one from the band to be at Robert’s side through everything and be at Karac’s funeral. I don’t know if it’s true, but I read that the Zeppelin days remind Robert of his son’s death as well.

I dont know R Plant personally, so Im just speculating here. But the big downside to having the singing style he had when he was 20 is pretty much impossible to duplicate by the time your 70. I dont care who you are. And even though true blue Zep fans would love to see them back together, how long would it be before people complained about him not sounding like he used to? And younger fans who show up expecting to hear the bluezy howling from their old records wpuld be very disappointed. Their music will always be around for us to enjoy. The dude sings songs now that are in his present vocal range, not what it was 50 years ago. Just my 2 cents. Rock on people!!!!

Every damn legit fan knows they stopped dead because of the loss of Bonzo. Bonzo was literally the backbone of Zepellin and he was an amazing drummer because he could follow odd measures at the time like a jazz drummer so following Jimmy was spot on.

Another reason is that they're senior citizens. And, perhaps following the Beatles' example, it is best to leave well enough alone.

Johan Belfrage - To me Zeppelin is the greatest band.. Yeah the Beatles creaked open the rock door but Zeppelin kicked it open., Through out the years having music conversations with a variety of different friends- they have agreed. It’s like everyone feels obligated to say ‘the Beatles’.. but Zeppelin excited their (& mine) souls.. Music brings people together.. that’s the most important thing.. just my thoughts..

Why can't we just be satisfied with what we've got? I mean, I LOVE Led Zeppelin. Their music is a living entity in my life, and the lives of countless others. They gave us a wide spectrum of music, and many live performances between 1969 and 1980, and then again later as either solo acts or with other musicians. Their reunion in 2007 ("Celebration Day") was a masterful end cap, revisiting Led Zeppelin one more time, and doing it magnificently. 1968 to 2007 spans 39 years. Now it's 11 more years after that. Plant will be 70 in August 2018. Jimmy and John are already there plus. These men gave us some of the most memorable music and performances of the modern era. We're a bunch of greedy assholes to badger them for more. As solo artists and with other musicians, they CONTINUE to give us incredible music AND live performances, even at this stage in their lives. I for one will simply say "thank you" to all of them, it's been one hell of a ride. Someday they will be gone, and so will we. The music, however, will ramble on.

I agree. Especially since mixing trends (i.e. the loudness wars / compression) have destroyed dynamics of music--especially of drums.

The reason why Zeppelin will never reunite apart from one-off events is that Bonzo was Roberts best friend and his loss was so deeply felt by him.

Like Robert said , Led Zeppelin was a four piece band , and John was part of those four. And though the 2007 concert with Jason was a success , and both Jimmy and John Paul felt good about continuing, Robert was firm in his feelings that It's not the same and never will be to him, without his buddy John. And the truth today is that the way the media is , one slip up and the name Zeppelin would be driven through the mud until everyone, including the fans, were sick of hearing it. There's no doubt they were the best, and though everyone one of us that love Zeppelin dreams of them being on stage again, we need to face the facts.That these guys are NOT in their prime anymore, so just listen to what they gave us. And for those that there when it began, be thankful you in some way were part of it.

cool video! i love the updates on each members continuing work. cant wait for new Page solo stuff.

I saw Page and Plant in 96 that was awesome and I think I got to see something that few people get to see.

The *real* reason = John Bonham. ... ... .. .. (and not focusing on $$$). The true Zeppelin "chemistry" is *not* there without him ...... or without any one of them, for that matter. I highly respect that about Zeppelin. Yeah, they could've gotten another drummer, but the "spirit" wouldn't have been the same. I highly respect that about them, actually, and that they only did a "one-time" reunion, but with Bonham's son. Respect that too - says a lot about them!

I'm a HUGE Zep head and as much as I want them to reunite, let's just enjoy Page, Plant, and JPJ while they're still alive.

Dont forget, Robert Johnson only recorded 28 songs. Hes considered by many to be the greatest blues musician of all time. Many of the Brittish rockers of the 60s loved his music. Keith Richards is a great example. Point is, its not how long you play or sing but how good you play or sing

I respect their decision. Plant is constantly exploring new ideas with his solo projects. He doesn't want to go into the past.

Led Zeppelin is my favorite band ever but I’m glad that not getting back together. Celebration Day is a great place to end.

Because they're 70 years old, is why. People can still do lots of things 100% up to par when they're 70, but rock star generally isn't one of them. It's such a draining job, even 20-year-olds get exhausted doing it. Its reputation for drugs and booze isn't just a result of rock culture, its because they use that stuff to cope with the demands of performing. Now, many musicians perform for longer. Leonard Cohen practically had a second career in his 70s, touring extensively and performing his last concert at 79. Chuck Berry never stopped until he died at 90, 20 years older than Page & Plant are and his career so long that most people alive didn't know he was one of the reasons rock even exists! But their style is different, not dependent on their voice or the vigour of their performance like rock is.

That's why I wonder if AC/DC shouldn't call it a day, they had a hell of a career for 45 friggin years but now one of their frontmen is retired, one is dead, and Axl Rose just doesn't seem like AC/DC to me...I dunno.

valar yeah Sammy Hagar said it best there's no way he can do and sing the same way you did he could do it for about 20 minutes and then he said he would pass out just too old to do the same they used to is there is a difference I just saw the stones it was like watching I don't know what it was like they were I don't know how to say it in a different key or just slow and different from when I saw them a 1980 I know they can sit down and do their acoustic set pretty damn good I bet but it is what it is

* *@ valar* * - What must be submitted is that there are ALWAYS exceptions. One fine example, is Iron Maiden. All members are in their 60's (with exception to Bruce Dickinson, being 59). Their oldest member is drummer Nicko McBrain at 66. They're not in it for the cash. Easy retirement should be considered yet, they continue to world tour.

Truer words were never said: without John Bonham there is no Led Zeppelin.

I agree wholeheartedly that, there is no Zeppelin without Bonham, and feel they did the right thing, because of the decision not to carry on their legacy has been preserved in respect of one of the greatest bands EVER, they did what "The Who" & "Skynyrd" "SHOULD" have done, not continued on without key members that made the band what it was

That was an amazing video. My being a massive Led Zepplin fan from the 80s, you said what I thought silently in my head. Bonham just can't be replaced. It isn't about skill drumming. It's about John Bonham. Led Zepplin was the magic of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Jon Paul Jones, and John Bonham together. I liked your last sentence. "Without him, there simply is no Led Zepplin." That's what made Led Zepplin who they are. With that move, they proved to everyone that they weren't just money grabbing musicians. That proves real class during a time when class is not very easy to find.

plant and bonham were tight, and bonham really was that good, he wasn't just a drummer, he was a great drummer who was a signature element of led zeppelin.

They won't risk tarnishing their legacy and want people to remember them for what they were.

Leave them alone and just appreciate the music that is there. No sense in trying to relive something from the past.

i saw Joe bonomasa live in a tiny club in CT 14 or so years ago. it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. he is one of the most talented guitar players I've ever witnessed. hearing him mentioned here I will definitely be checking that out.

When Bonham died so did Led Zeppelin. 2007 did not change that. It doesn't mean that fans can't fantasize about the possibility of a repeat show like 2007 though, but it is not the same. There is no Boston without Brad. No Beatles without John. Nothing wrong with the surviving members playing and folks loving it -- but the fact remains it's simply not the same. I can respect Plant, Page and Jones not being interested. They lived it, and it is their void where Zeppelin without Bonham is concerned -- far more than it is ours without them as Led Zeppelin.

Plant felt (and maybe still feels) incredibly guilty because while he was away touring in the 70s he lost his little boy to illness and after that he didnt want to continue with the band. John Bonham was the only person that was able to convince him to continue (perhaps because those two had been playing together before they met Page and Jones and were closest, who knows) and then not too long afterwards Bonham himself died. So I think he always believed that the band wasn’t meant to continue after that.

Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bonham had a chemistry/recipe that formed Led Zeppelin any changes to that recipe produce a different product... all were very capable artists in their own right and a drummer likely could have been brought in ...IT WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN LED ZEPPELIN....and even attempting to carry on would have cheapened the Led Zeppelin experience and effect!

Just hang on to the memory of zeppelin and continue to listen

I think anyone who grew up, as I did, during the reign of the Almighty Led Zeppelin would kill just to get back some of that magic. In my mind, yearning for a LZ reunion tour has a LOT to do with a deep desire to go back to those magical moments in the late 60's-70's driving around out on the back country roads with friends and twistin up a doobie, drinking beer, fucking in the backseat, ALL to that unbelievable wall of raw Zeppelin Black Magic......"Hey Hey Mama say the way move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove"! There never will be any band to come along take their place in my heart, just like sadly there never will be a reunion tour ............but that shit STILL gives me goosebumps every fucking time I hear it on the radio!

They already did it all.

I'm still mad at Bonham for drinking himself to death. So much more epic music Zeppelin could have given to the world...

Patrick you understand and are a true Zeppelin fan. Led Zeppelin is a Family of Four that respects each other and has a Connection that if you tried to replace any One Member would not work, especially Bonzo's part as a Drummer. I too Respect Led Zeppelin for not trying to go back in time and Milking their Songs as Many other Bands have done and are still doing, but I am Very Grateful for their Excellent One Off London 02 Arena Concert at which they SHOWED THE WORLD WHY THEY ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST BAND EVER.

They gave us music they taught friendship. They didnt reunite only fr their friend. Led zepplin teach me importance of friendship. Oh thats amazing. I love u guys fr ur music and ur love towards ur frnd. Long live rock n roll

The real reason Led Zeppelin broke up: Bonzo died. End of story. The single greatest drummer in the history of rock n roll died, and so too did the band.

My all-time favorite ❤

I was at the NEC for P&P on July 23 1995 and was seated right at the front next to a nice little old lady. We made conversation and I remarked that she didn't seem quite the type of person to be seeing them. She replied "Oh yes, I'm Robert's mother, I follow him everywhere". She then opened her handbag and showed me loads of family photos of him!

I get it ! I still have my LPs and great memories and if they ever did get together for a concert or studio session, I would want to hear a lot of new material. I'm okay with living in the present and listening to the future, and once and a while stepping back into the past.

'Where's that confounded bridge?!"

Led Zep ceased to exist when their Great Drummer John Bonham passed away in September 1980.

I remember reading a quote from Robert Plant after that reunion show that it was like "sleeping with your ex-wife without making love". I think that pretty much sums it up there.

One thing that made Zep great was the physical energy they put in their live shows. It's pretty hard to belt out music like that in your mid 70's, I'd think.

25 September 1980 is the reason

More bands should consider this approach... However I won't criticize any professional musician for not giving up their first love no matter how poorly they compare to themselves at their peak. Matter of fact the best ones know how to do it right...

4-30-1977 Pontiac Michigan best day of my life for a seven year old,and 76,200 other people!!

So much respect for these guys especially Plant for not replacing their dead drummer. Drummers have underrated for so long but these guys knew Bonzo was irreplaceable as a musician and as a friend.

They do well, yes. The musicians he plays with all love the music. It's a nostalgia act though. If Jason weren't there, it'd be just another cover band. That said, the star of Jason's band is Mr. Jimmy. Sakuri GETS it. Sakuri knows the notes, how the notes should feel and all the shades and textures around them. Very special guitarist that guy!

The greatest band there ever was Led Zepplin ! No band could ever measure to there music or style Amen..

Integrity - the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness, the state of being whole and undivided. They are a band of integrity and their mark in music will resonate long after their/yours/our bones have turned to ash.

A very well done and even handed piece. All the correct reasons and no goofy conspiracy theories. Its simply that if John Bonham isn't there, there isn't a Led Zeppelin its as simple as that. It would be incomplete.

There are times it can be hard to hit those notes with power and hold them. lol We just did it this past weekend and everybody there enjoyed it. I love to sing and I play guitar as well. And Led Zeppelin especially Robert Plant are one of my biggest influences. Only one that is a bigger influence is the band Rush. Which the are my absolute favorite band of all time.

Joey Huebner he had to change the way he sang the high pitched songs from that point on ‘cause he couldn’t pull it off any longer. To me it killed the dynamics of the song and a lot of those songs they dropped from the set list altogether. Shame cause it sounds fantastic on record. In 77 he could not do it

It really is best they don't reunite.

Hey, I know, why not just stick to the bands statement: "We wish it to be known that the loss of our dear friend and the deep respect we have for his family, together with the sense of undivided harmony felt by ourselves and our manager, have led us to decide that we could not continue as we were." and leave it at that. Of course every member has moved on to doing other things; but that statement is as true today as it was on the 4th of December 1980. We should be grateful we had the chance to hear a band so tight, that losing one, would always mean we lost them all. You can count those bands on three fingers. I just assumed three, I don't know who the other two would be?

They are just fine and I'm sure if they did reunite for a concert they would still be able to bring the magic back! 70's is just a number! I will always love yall!

Them Crooked Vultures was pretty good. A new album from those guys would do me just fine. Pardon for saying it, but LET ZEPPELIN REST IN PEACE!

John Bonham's legacy. That's it. This video should've ended right there.

Led Zeppelin was that ultimate band they lost the heart and soul of the band when John passed away and Robert held true to the fact that it would never be the same without him and just leave it at that! Led zeppelin is no longer will never be again all good and great things have to come to an end and it did unfortunately too soon and I respect Robert Plant for his decision for holding true to the love of one of his best friends. Robert is a true friend!

There has been, nor will there ever be another Led Zeppelin. The 2007 O2 arena was the last we will even hear from Zeppelin, and that is as it should be. The greatest rock band of all time (plus Jason) did their due diligence that night in honor of the man who first gave them their start. (Ahmet Ertegun). It was 2 hours of pure rock perfection. From the masters of rock, no less.

I have always been annoyed with The Who for going on with Keith Moon. Whenever I listen to, for example, "Who's Next," you can't not notice how brilliant the drumming is. The last minute and a half of "Bargain" is incredible. Give it a listen some time.

Robert Plant has made it clear the past is the past and he’s moved on from Led Zeppelin a long time ago.

Thank you to Led Zeppelin for not ending that way.. RIP John 💔

It was definitely a bucket list moment for everyone in the audience. What was bizarre is what happened after he was done. It was like the third encore we held him for and after Stairway when the house lights came up everyone just got up and silently filed out of the stadium. No one applauded, cheered, nothing. It was like that was that and it was time to go. At that point there was nothing else to add to it. The most masterful display of crowd control in history. Jimmy was always into his black magic. he put a spell on that crowd that night too.

Plant said well when he spoke about not being in a band that toured around the world giving the fans what they thought they wanted to make them happy. He's an artist and needs to move ahead not sit on his laurels dreaming about the past. I agree with him we must push forwards. After all Led Zeppelin is a hard act to follow.

There never was going to a led Zeppelin reunion expect for a few very special one off gigs such as live aid and two further concerts related to Atlantic records. There are only 8 real Zeppelin records the last being released in 1979, when the band members were still in ether early 30s. So unlike other bands Zeppelin never got old and boring and have never turned out dull or dated music which is why 40 years on from their final album they are still held in such high esteem.
