He said: ![]() The London set - 10th Dec 2007 "We [Led Zeppelin] started to get together and talk a lot more about bits and pieces we had remixed..." "As we got to do that we started talking about that the fact that we really really were all absolutely smashed to pieces when we found that the guy who got us started in the first place, Ahmet Ertegun, had passed away. "Forty years ago I was playing in the Black Horse in Northfield to, like, ten people. And then two years later Ahmet Ertegun signed our band... and we were off. "We wanted to pay tribute to the effect that he had had on our careers, and the closeness we had shared with him for all of these years..." Plant confirms that "It's total - only one show. "The rehearsal sound is superb... the responsibility is enormous. "I just won't have my shirt quite that open this time around!"
