That Led Zeppelin reunion

Announcement of the Led Zeppelin reunion gig in London provoked a mixed reaction in these parts.

Yes, they were a seminal band, quintessential musicians for grown-ups, with a back catalogue which stands up as absolutely key rock. And if their dadrock fanbase wants a Heritage Rock Nostalgiafest, good luck to them. Ditto some other recent dadrock reunions, notably by The Police.

But I wouldn’t go to either gig, even if sent free tickets. Unlike some other oldies who are still touring – notably Dylan, Neil Young, Van the Man, and even the Stones - Zep and the Police chose long ago to quit as vital creative artists.

There’s far too much original music for grown-ups around to spend time on artistically irrelevant reunions.
