Live8 WAS the reunion. All four members on the same stage, doing some of their biggest songs for an adoring audience. Just like the good old days. I can understand people who weren't there or didn't see it live wanting it to happen, but much like the Zeppelin O2 concert, it was a one-off and that's that. They don't need the money at this stage of their lives and I doubt very, very sincerely that David and Roger can put all the crap behind them long enough to do a full tour. As much as they both say the hatchet has been mostly buried, I think a lot of that is just pacifying their fans.


Plus, Rick's death all but shut the door on the issue, anyway. Zeppelin was able to put Bonham's son back there and it worked and sounded fantastic, but that's because he didn't sing. Having someone else up there singing Rick's lines or what have you.....I just can't see it. Which is why if David ever tours again for future solo material, anything that Rick had a vocal part in won't be played - so definitely no Echoes.


Let the past be past, now.
