Jimmy Page says he wants to tour, Led, Zeppelin to come out in late 2008
On a recent junket to Tokyo, Japan, Led
Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page stated that he wants to do a world tour with Led Zeppelin. He was in Tokyo to promote the bands release of Mothership, the greatest hits compilation that the band
personally remastered and chose the songs to. In alluding to the possibility of touring, Page mentioned the intense
rehearsals that preceded the charity gig in London on Dec 10th 2007,and said it was the same intensity as one would have
expended for a world tour. The major roadblock to the tour was the parallel project singer Robert Plant had with Allison
Knauss, and their release Raising sand. The tour they will do both in Europe and the States is scheduled to end in mid
summer, clearing the way for Zeppelin to come out. Go to LedZeppelintickets.com for timely updates on this breaking story. Lenny
Kravitz, one of the best live shows you will ever see, is finally coming to America. But, he plans on touring the
world beforehand, so the earliest tour dates are early 2009.Tom Petty plays United Center July 2nd with special quest
Steve Winwood. Baseball fans with the 2008 season soon upon us, some tidbits. The Chicago Cubs have added 70 Bullpen
box seats, which they plan to auction to the highest bidder. These seats are very close to the action along the
left field line. Not to be outdone, The Chicago White sox are also auctioning off prime seats (lower deck boxes) for
select dates, including Opening day and the Cubs Sox series. To lucky fans that win these auctions and want to resell
these seats, Stubhub.com has an exclusive arrangement with Major league baseball and the individual teams for the exclusive
resale of these seats, which ALL parties sharing in the revenue. And Live Nation, the biggest promoter by volume in the
US, has decided to set up its own ticketing operation, eliminating Ticketmaster as the primary reseller for its shows
effective Jan 2009. Live Nation will work with a West German company named Eventin, which has a successful operation
in Europe and is involved in the World Cup. We are curious to see how this plays out, as in recent memory we have
not seen such a potent challenge to Ticketmaster, and such a sea change in regards to how the public buys seats to events.
Ticketmaster just purchased Paciolan, the company, which sells tickets at Sears Center and Rockford Metro Centre, among
others, as the consolidation in the industry continues. Spring is around the corner, more tour news next issue
til the next time

September
24th, 1980 - a day that lives in infamy for many Led Zeppelin
fans. It was a day when Chicago radio stations announced
that concert tickets for four November Led Zeppelin shows
would go on sale the following morning. As this was their
first U.S. tour since 1977, fans jumped at the opportunity
to see one of rock and roll's greatest bands. But in order
to see the shows, the concert tickets could only be purchased
through a special order form that would be featured the
next day in the Chicago Tribune.
On the morning of the 25th, paper outlets were
swarmed with fans eager for their chance to buy Led Zeppelin
tickets. After all, these particular concert tickets were
to be exclusively printed for this special concert series,
and would surely become an important piece of Led Zeppelin
memorabilia. However, an unexpected turn of events would
extinguish the excitement that had surrounded the city.
Fans soon got word that on the evening of September 24th
Led Zeppelin drummer, John Bonham, suffered a sudden and
tragic death. On the decision of remaining members Robert
Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, the concerts never
happened, these historical pieces of Led Zeppelin memorabilia
were never sold, and the Led Zeppelin era had come to
its untimely end. The frenzy created by news of the Led
Zeppelin tickets was gone as fast as it had come.
Six years passed while the unused concert tickets
sat in the now demolished Chicago Stadium, until Metro
Pulse, Inc. acquired the entire quantity as music memorabilia.
Today, the concert tickets are a vital piece of Led Zeppelin
memorabilia. While their worth is well noted by music
memorabilia experts, the real value comes from owning
a true piece of rock and roll history.
With nearly 30 years gone by since that fateful
day, the anticipation surrounding the sale of the Led
Zeppelin memorabilia is finally over. The remaining collector
tickets are now available to rock memorabilia fanatics
everywhere. The Led Zeppelin tickets can be acquired through
Metro Pulse, Inc. and are available in various collector
tickets editions. An important part of any music memorabilia
collection, these Led Zeppelin tickets are each issued
with a certificate of authenticity, are hand-signed and
numbered limited editions, and are guaranteed - ensuring
the integrity of your rock memorabilia compilation. The
concert tickets are rare items and are considered a tribute
to the legend and long history of Led Zeppelin and its
members: Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John
Paul Jones.
An essential addition to any collection of Led
Zeppelin memorabilia, these Led Zeppelin tickets are available
right now. But as many people say, "History repeats
itself." Don’t let these tickets pass you by
as quickly as they did for fans nearly three decades ago.
