Mothership Review

The first reviews of the new Zeppelin compilation, Mothership, is in.

Uncut's David Cavanagh seems to be giving it many thumbs up.

Zeppelin's greatest hits, what's not to like?

Zeppelin Goes Satellite

One question comes from todays announcement that XM Radio is launching an all-Zeppelin radio station on their satellite network (channel 59). Each report I have read suggests this hints at a tour, but the first thought I had was, broadcast of the 02 concert.

A live broadcast of the reunion concert seems the perfect fit for a satellite station and I'd bet part two of this announcement comes within days of the stations launch later today.

Left Hand, Pinky Finger

The official word is out, the broken finger is Jimmy Pages little finger on his left hand. And how did he break it? Stumbling around his garden in the dark, according to AFP/Google News.

Hopefully that will put an end to the suggestion that there was no broken finger.

More Tour Rumours

Jimmy Page appears to be opening the door for a tour, if only the rest of the guys would play along:

At the moment, I'm told we're doing one gig. That's a bit unfortunate for all the people that would have liked to have seen us, but I can understand why some of the other members don't want to be touring.

It's no real secret that by "some of the other members" Page really means Robert Plant. However, John Paul Jones in an interview with Ritchie York last week suggested he wasn't too keen on touring.

I would wager a guess that Jason Bonham is in, and Jones could be convinced, if only Robert Plant, who has been the only hold out before, would agree.

Last word to Jimmy Page:

I knew there would be a demand for tickets but I hadn't expected that sort of overwhelming demand. It's wonderful that people hold Zeppelin in that sort of regard... It's amazing, daunting, harrowing, beautiful--and it's a one-night stand. And I've learned that nothing is impossible

Jimmy Page Message to Fans

From JimmyPageOnline.com:

As you all know by now I was regrettably put in a situation where I had to postpone my performance at the Ahmet Ertegun Benefit show, on November 26th, due to a fractured finger. We have now rescheduled this show to take place, at the same venue, on December 10th.

In doing so I was very conscious of the fact that many people are travelling great distances to attend. I do want to let everyone know that this decision was unavoidable. My apologies to anyone who has been inconvenienced by this change.

I would also like to thank everyone else involved for their help with making this change. Harvey Goldsmith, the trustees of the Ahmet Ertegun Foundation and, of course, the other artists who so willingly agreed to join us on the show.

I look forward to the 10th December!
