Sorry Raf, I would want to be able to say this as much as you, but Led Zeppelin is NOT back and will unfortunately probably never will be!
It has been said already some months ago that Pagey, Jones and Bonham JR have been recording stuff and that they want to tour. Plant announced officially that he does not want to do anything with the guys and they have been auditioning singers for "the project". Pagey said all along that without Plant he will NOT call it Led Zeppelin and they will rely heavily on NEW (non Led-Zep) material.

It's not Led Zep without Plant and Bonham Sr.
Similiarly, Queen isn't Queen without Fred and John.
YES. YES!!! THAT'S RIGHT. YOU ARE RIGHT. OMG. YOU ARE SO RIGHT. YES. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH. SAY IT ONE MORE TIME. SAY IT ONE MORE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let it fucking go, Page. I really did love the reunion show but for fucks sake, any new material you write is just going to be lopsided and crappy if Plant hasn't got a say in it. I don't want to hear another "Outrider"....
They'll hire some Z-grade singer like Sebastian Bach, do a stale rock nostalgia album (or a bluegrass exploration, just for a laugh) and then when they go on tour and feel oblidged to do Led Zeppelin standards for the people in the audience, it'll sound really, really shitty.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to listen to "Wearing and Tearing".
Maybe it's pity, but Led Zeppelin left in 70. And Plant seems to realize this. Sure, people would love to see them back. But it's just another project with another name (which is for good).
