Led Zeppelin Comeback DVD Could Be Scrapped

Fans may never see show...

Plans to release Led Zeppelin’s one off reunion show at the O2 Arena on DVD are close to being scrapped, according to guitarist Jimmy Page.

Page said, however, that there was never any real intention to release the band’s concert from last December on DVD.

“It was recorded - but we didn't go in with the express purpose of making a DVD to come out at Christmas, or whatever,” he told Uncut.

He added, however, that “at some distant point” the concert may become available for people who weren’t their in person.

As previously reported on Gigwise, Led Zeppelin have given their strongest hint yet that future reunion shows may be in the pipeline.

In a magazine article, frontman Robert Plant said “one day, we could do it again for another really, really good reason.”

  • I am beginning to wonder what planet Mr Page inhabits. Wasn’t the reason for the ’get together’ to raise money for a charity? Of course the intention was to release a DVD of the evening, I mean what of all the B list celebrities that didnt get a complementary ticket to the event? Surely they wont be robbed of the chance to discuss with their peers the gig of the century with some semblance of knowledge????

  • Don’t believe it for a second; with record company profits in a tailspin, that DVD is worth a fortune. Zeppelin is playing the marketing game as brilliantly as they did 30+ yrs ago; create huge demand, play coy and unavailable; they know they have us drooling.....they’re still as good as they ever were -- Peter Grant would be proud.

  • No DVD? Once again Zeppelin fans are dissapointed... nothing new here... If they don’t put out a DVD, our only recent memory will be their crap performance at Live Aid. Robert will go on taking chances and making great music and maybe sometime in the next 8 years, Jimmy and John Paul will get off their lazy asses and put out another CD.

  • @Gigwise It's because the only way they could get Dave Rowntree to play the drums was to hypnotise him. Too strenuous otherwise, poor chap.
