When a band has reached the stature of the legendary Led Zeppelin, and only a handful have, I think it becomes a much more dramatic moment when there is a personnel change.
A Led Zeppelin tour in this day and age is a historic moment, and even though Plant has committed to working with Allison Kraus, who is phenomenal, I think he has made a monumental mistake.
Allison Kraus will be around after what is probably the last tour of the great Led Zeppelin. I think it's a shame.
You make a very valid point Frank and I agree with what you've said. I've been going on about how they'd even fathom touring without him but this is Plants decision to make right or wrong. I do respect his reasons for not touring, I mean he is committed to other projects and is respecting them which is very honorable. He's given the OK for Page and Jones to move on and do what they feel is right, however I can't see how touring as Led Zeppelin without Plant singing is right. Like I said earlier, people got excited about Plant, Page, Jones and Jason Bonham touring, not Page, Jones, Jason Bonham and a singer to be named later. I mean once they played that show, and with all the reunions going on lately you knew fans would be screaming for a tour. The band said they wouldn't tour, then little by little they changed their minds... maybe Plant will change his. Fingers crossed. It's all a bit discouraging to me as a fan as I feel like I'm being slapped on one side of my face by Plant for not touring when one is being dangled in front of us fans and on the other side by the rest for possibly selling us fans a Led Zeppelin tour without Led Zeppelin.
