Led Zeppelin: No plans to release reunion concert CD/DVD

Led Zeppelin has no plans at the moment to release either a CD or DVD of its reunion concert from last December, according to the Mirror.co.uk. Guitarist Jimmy Page said that the show was recorded, but added, "We didn't go in with the express purpose of making a DVD to come out at Christmas, or whatever." Page, however, did not completely rule out a release "at some distant point."

Late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham's son Jason, who was behind the kit for the December 10th performance at London's O2 Arena, told us he'd be eager to own some sort of document of the event: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "I know it probably was recorded, I mean there was cameras there and everything, but I'm not too sure of what the process is there. Me personally, I'd love to get a, you know, a version of it that I could -- you know, stay with me forever. It'll be there forever in my mind, but to get a chance to watch it back is sometimes only when you realize what you've done."

The group's acclaimed set, at a benefit concert in memory of Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun, led to speculation about a full world tour.

Vocalist Robert Plant said last week that the legendary British band could perform together again "for another really, really good reason," although he is reportedly not as interested in a full-blown tour as the other members.
