Så det betyr at Jones faktisk skulle være med? Da har nok jeg misforstått.
Robert Plant, then in the midst of a tour behind his solo album
Shaken ‘n’ Stirred, was the first to be approached. Organizer
Bob Geldof originally asked him to consider performing a set with Honeydrippers. But when Plant phoned
Jimmy Page, the Honeydrippers idea was abandoned pretty quickly. Instead, the two decided it might be fun to trot out some old Zeppelin material instead. Once bassist
John Paul Jones caught wind of what was going on and asked to be included, the reunion that no one thought possible suddenly seemed imminent.

Og så var det litt krangling, naturligvis.
There were issues, however, before Led Zeppelin even hit the stage. “Robert announced that he didn’t want to do ‘Stairway [to Heaven],’” Page’s assistant Phil Carlo said in
Led Zeppelin: The Oral History of the World’s Greatest Rock Band. “Jimmy said to me, ‘I f–ing knew this would happen. We’ve just got to play this game all f–ing afternoon until we get up tomorrow morning, when he’ll announce that he’ll do it.’”
