The rumors have finally been silenced: Plant has personally tapped his illegitimate son's band--MEAN VENUS--to open all 2008 shows.
MEAN VENUS' lead singer, J, when recently interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine, spoke of his utter disbelief at the prospect:
"I only found out he [Plant] was my dad a few years ago.
My mum hid it from me for the majority of my life. So to actually be going on the road with my Dad is bloody outrageous!".

One was next to Bonham the whole time, and there was another in front of the stage.

But with the band sounding this good and everyone having this much fun on stage, I think it's only a matter of time til they tour. Or at least do ONE U.S. show.

C'mon, Zep!! Bring the rock over here!!!!

I'm in. Also, I'm amazed somebody could hold a camera phone that steady for 8 minutes. Impressive!

Ratliff's 'oozing blues' sounds not only like a STD, but like a tremendous euphemism for 'they don't have what it takes anymore.'

Sigh.

Of course with it being so heavily documented, it seems inevitable that there will be a commercial release of this concert (unlike the last time the three got together with Phil)

Gents, you're no Franz Ferdinand . . .
