Well there you are finally. What's playing on your avatar's I-pod. Maybe a little Led Zeplin in honor of their reunion concert tonight in London?

Led Zeppelin set to rock 'n' roll one more time at first concert in 27 years

1 hour ago

LONDON - Led Zeppelin were poised to return to the stage Monday night for their first concert in 27 years - one of the most eagerly anticipated shows in rock music history.

Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John-Paul Jones were to be joined by Jason Bonham for the charity event at London's O2 Arena. Bonham is the son of original band member John Bonham, who died in 1980.

More than one million Zeppelin devotees clamouring to hear hits such as "Stairway to Heaven," "Kashmir" and "Whole Lotta Love" entered an online lottery in a bid to win 14,000 tickets to the concert at $250 a pop.

The surviving members have not played a full concert since Bonham's death, although there have been a couple of brief performances, such as when they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. Page and Plant also reunited in the 1990s to record two albums and go on tour.

At 59, Plant will be the youngster among the surviving band members when he takes the stage Monday. Jones is 61 and Page is 63.

Zeppelin fans around the world are hoping for more tour dates, but Plant told the Sunday Times he resented the "conveyor belt of expectations" about a comeback tour.

"If people don't talk about a tour, anything is possible," he said. "The more people talk, the more pressure it puts on everyone, the less likely it will happen. We shall see how we all feel after London."

Monday's show is dedicated to Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun, who died last year. Proceeds from the show are to go to the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund, which provides scholarships to universities in the United States, Britain and Turkey.

The show was originally scheduled for Nov. 26, but was postponed until Monday because Page injured a finger on his left hand.

Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman and one-time Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers are also scheduled to perform.
