Led Zeppelin fans call for world tour
Led Zeppelin fans are biting there finger nails
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 Zeppelin owes 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 Led 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% 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.
Concert goers were desperate for tickets as fans all over the world were trying
to attend the charity event. Even ticket brokers were tough to find with
tickets. Some people outside that attended the show said they got their tickets
from brokers at Led Zeppelin Tour Tickets.com and
Online Tickets USA.com as
they would not tell us how much they paid the fans said it was worth every
penny for this incredible show.
