Coming back to where I saw them in 1977, 30 years after the fact, Led Zeppelin are set to play anywhere from 3 to 10 nights. Save your money, cause this one will cost.

Led Zeppelin to play Madison Square Garden

Dec 12, 2007, 11:30 GMT

Led Zeppelin are set to play New York's Madison Square Garden next summer.

The legendary band, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, discussed returning to the world famous venue - where they played three historic sell-out concerts in 1973 - after their sensational comeback at London's O2 arena on Monday night (10.12.07).

A source said: "The band were really fired up and were talking about their late drummer John Bonham and what he would have thought about it - it was time for reflection.

"Then talk turned to, 'What next? Was this it or would there be something else?' One of the guys started talking about their concerts at the Garden. There was a consensus of, 'Why not?' It is one of the best live music venues in the world. There is a strong possibility they will be playing there next year."

After Monday's incredible return, rumours are now rife the group are set to embark on a world tour, which could net them a massive £1 billion.

A source said: "All ticket sellers have been told a world tour will take place, there's just some ironing out of contracts to be done. They are already talking about playing venues like Knebworth and Glastonbury.

"They were looking to do it in March but now it will most likely be May. With ticket sales combined with merchandising it could make them as much as £1 billion."

Earlier this week, frontman Plant fuelled tour speculation, saying: "It wouldn't be such a bad idea for Led Zeppelin to play together from time to time."

Guitarist Page has previously stated: "It's a bit selfish to do just one show. If that's it, we probably shouldn't have taken the genie out of the bottle."

If the tour does go ahead drummer Jason Bonham, who replaced his late father John Bonham for the reunion, is expected to join the original trio.

I knew it they'd tour - at least to some degree. Sure would be cool to see them - I caught them back in '74 - lol - my mom had a ticket connection and the only way she'd get them, is if my older brothers took me. It was a drag for them but I sure had a blast.

Also caught the Cdn. premire of Song Remains The Same in the late 70s. Still have the ticket stub. Found out the next day that the band was in the screening room and nobody in the audience knew. Good thing - they would have been mobbed.

so are they only doing a few select dates? I think if they went full speed and did a six-twelve month long tour similar to what The Police have been doing, the tour would shatter records.

Led Zeppelin tour rumours 'are true'
By WENN world entertainment news - Thursday, December 20 02:10 pmRumours of a worldwide Led Zeppelin tour following their triumphant one-off reunion gig earlier this month are true, according to a source close to the band.

Members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham have so far refused to be drawn on any future plans to reunite.

But a source close to the rockers has confirmed they are in negotiations to put on an 18-month world tour extravaganza later next year.

The pal tells the Daily Express, "It will kick off at next year's Glastonbury after Robert Plant has finished touring with American country star Alison Krauss.

"Plant and Krauss have a new album out right now and he is committed to that for the next couple of months at least."

The rock legends have been inundated with pleas from fans to follow up their hugely successful London show on 10 December with a full-on tour.

you can find tons of clips from the 12/10 show on YouTube. Not a bad show but you can see how Plant's voice has deepened with age, especially on "Black Dog"
