I agree with you that i could ruin a nice memory.

 

On the other hand it gives people that had never seen them play life (like myself)the oportunity to visualize/experience some of the best songs ever written.

For me, it would depend on how much Jimmy Page rehearses for the show. He has been very sloppy in prior reunion concerts (there have been three):

 

Live Aid

Knebworth

Atlantic Music Awards

 

However, I saw Jimmy Page tour with the Black Crowes covering Led Zeppelin and he was truly amazing. Unfortunately, Page injured his back during the second tour with the Black Crowes and the remainder of that tour was canceled. Page hasn't toured since, and it is my understanding that he is physically incapable of participating in a tour, hence the single reunion show. When asked 6 months ago if Zeppelin would reunite, Plant said they would have to bring a medical team on tour (obviously referring to Page).

 

I believe Plant can hold his own on tour, but he hasn't been able to hit high notes in 30 years. I saw the Robert Plant - Jimmy Page tour several years ago, and they were good together. I just think Page was better when he rigorously tours, as he did with the Black Crowes. I'm not sure Page is physically capable of getting into sufficient form to pull off a successful Zeppelin reunion concert.

 

Just my two cents, and, yes, I'm a Zeppelin freak.
