There are a couple of reasons why Led Zeppelin isn't going to tour this new year, the main one being that singer Robert Plant doesn't want to (Jimmy Page is reportedly eager to go out, I'm told by a source near the guitarist). One obvious reason he doesn't want to tour is the album he made with Alison Krauss, Raising Sand, released in October. With production and band by T Bone Burnett, this is one of the top albums of 2007, a rich blues 'n' bluegrass creation that begs to be taken on the road. The tour will be a very hot concert ticket come spring 2008. They have already announced a tour of Europe in May, and have said they'll tour the U.S. in the summer.
This video is a promotional film, but it's the best I've seen as a good intro to the duo and their album.
