Jason Bonham knows better than to promise a Led Zeppelin reunion as part of his "Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience" show that goes on tour this fall. But he's certainly not opposed to the idea.
"I'm not going to hide it from them," Bonham, who filled his late father John "Bonzo" Bonham's spot and played with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones at the 2007 Zep reunion concert at London's O2 arena, tells Billboard.com. "I will invite them to every show I can, because my goal and dream is, 'Wouldn't it be cool if I did something that they thought was cool and they would get up and play with me?' That's what I'm doing [this] for. I'd love it."

That’s one way to hawk your tickets. Throw out a tease about an unexpected Led Zeppelin reunion and watch the money roll in.
I saw Zepplin at the Forum in LA in the late 70s. Would love to see them again.

Was it the 1977 tour? That was one of the band’s last five or so U.S. appearances.
Stairway will be 40 y/o next year.
Meh. Would have preferred to see this band when Robert Plant still had his high vocal range and still had the bad fashion sense to rip off Roger Daltrey’s “Tommy” look for a decade. Pity the polyps did him in in the vocal respect.
1977 sounds about right.
I loved that concert, saw it on TV in South Africa many moons ago.
Best song they do but I like the studio version best.

Loved it! Thanks!
He's also a member of Black Country Communion, a group formed by producer Kevin Shirley that also includes Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa and Derek Sherinian.
This is where Bonham ought to concentrate his efforts. Hughes is a veteran rocker and Bonamassa is rapidly rising in the world of guitar slingers.
They did special for MTV unplugged remember that show that came from
Meh, an over-rated cover band. Never credited the blues greats they ripped off.
i saw them opening night at madison square garden, 6/7/1977...the ticket stub sits in a frame above my head...
i’ve been to all the reunions (Live Aid/Atlantic Records) besides seeing three dozen Page/Plant and solo shows...
i’ve been a huge Zeppelin fan since I was 8....my wife and i built a house 7 years ago...the first thing that went up in my daughters room when we moved in was a Zeppelin poster- she was 5 months old at the time and its’ still there...
Bonham died on my birthday, 9/25, and i was devastated...would i like them to get back together??? yes, but only if Plant’s heart is in it...
Well shoot Jason,
You and about 100 million other people would love to see aLed Zeppelin reunion..
As an aside, I saw Robert Plant on his solo tour here in Houston, he did some Zepplin songs and they weren’t to bad..
