JASON BONHAM Is Hoping For DVD Release Of LED ZEPPELIN's 2007 Reunion Concert

December 20, 2010

Prior to hitting the stage for the "Mark And Brian Christmas Show" at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles Thursday night, drummer Jason Bonham told KLOS' Sal Cirricione that there is still a chance that we might one day see a DVD release of LED ZEPPELIN's reunion for the Ahmet Ertegun tribute concert at London's O2 Arena in December 2007, with Jason taking his father's place behind the drum kit. "Nothing is official, as yet," Bonham said. "I only know that because Robert [Plant, LED ZEPPELIN singer] had said that he'd watched it. I really do hope that it eventually will see the light of day. It's just nice to know that Robert had seen it, so I knew something, but it was nice that he rang up and said, 'Wow, it sounded great.' Fingers crossed, everybody… fingers crossed."

In a recent interview with U.K.'s Telegraph.co.uk, Plant was asked about the band's 2007 reunion concert. "I really had a wonderful time," said Plant. "It was the best LED ZEPPELIN gig since 1975."

When asked if he would do it again, Plant replied, "I don't think so. You've got to have a lot in common with the people you're working with at this time in your life. Everything has to move on and forward, in all relationships.

"I know that bands that haven't put out a record for 10 years are playing to 20,000 people a night. But that's not the achievement. The achievement is to knock yourself out. It's a very selfish thing. The tail must never wag the dog."
