Just seen something in MOjo about Jimmy Page & JohnPaul Jones doing something with 2 of the Foo Fighters. I didn't read the article though.
So whether this is a tour since Robert Plant won't do one I don't know.
Did like Priory of Brion & whoever was on the dvd I got off dime so Plant has been pretty worthwhile pretty recently. The dvd of the reunion was pretty decent too.

I wonder to what extent people would be satisfied with getting decent video footage of the bands concerned at their peak. Not quite the same thing as being in a crowd and soaking up the atmosphere admittedly. On the other hand it does give you the opportunity to watch things at your own pace and probably from a better vantage point. & doesn't mean the artist well past his prime trying to recapture the moment since its the moment itself captured on film/video.
Getting whatever video stuff I have over the last year has certainly enhanced my understanding of certain bands. One that comes to mind is Flipper who I thought played with 2 basses going at the same time. They don't, they had 2 people who played bass or sang not at the same time but interchanged.
Now to get the Swans live 88 footage from Jarboe through the Young God site. Finally got audio of the band from then last year now for video.
There have been a couple of bands that possibly did improve in reunion. One I'd cite would be Dinosaur Jr, I think they're better players now than in 88. Was certainly deeply impressed when they played here.

Only so I can satisfy myself that I did finally get to see them play live, of course:

The orginal Pentangle. Oh, except they did. Played last night in Manchester but tickets were hellacious expensive. Hope they do more gigs though.

Agreed, both London shows I saw were top-notch. Mudhoney, not quite as awesome but still giving it some.
Again I agree on the live footage front too. Gigs (esp. post-prime) often don't really deliver and so it'd be cool to have video documentation of a band in their hey-day, possibly hand-picked for the best and most interesting performances. I've got a few video bootlegs of some of my faves and although the quality is often rubbish, they're still fabulous records of the gigs as they happened and are very enjoyable to watch now and again.
Hmm, The Swans would be interesting.....
