Led Zeppelin ready to rock London

The surviving members of Led Zeppelin will take the stage today in London for the first time in almost 20 years to honor late Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun. Singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones will be joined by the late John Bonham's son Jason, who'll fill in on drums. Zeppelin promises to play hits and fan favorites, along with a few surprises at London's O2 Arena. Also set to perform are several guests including former Bad Company frontman Paul Rodgers and Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings.

Rodgers tells us there's been so much hype about the reunion show: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "I hope they can live up to, you know, the expectations because they're huge. I don't know -- I seriously wonder if anyone can. But God bless them and good luck to them."

Zeppelin called it quits after John Bonham died in 1980. Rodgers says he had always admired his drumming skills: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "I personally will miss John Bonham because I loved him as a drummer. I happen to think that he was the best drummer that ever lived. Now Jason is fantastic too. I worked with Jason. He was on my A Tribute to Muddy Waters album and we toured together. He's a great, great drummer. But John was John."

Drummer John Bonham died in 1980.

The venue can hold 20,000 fans. Nearly 11 million people signed up for a lottery to win tickets to see the reunion.

There's been speculation about Zeppelin playing more shows, but nothing has been confirmed.
