I wish I had been a bigger fan of Led Zeppelin back in the day as they had the class to call it quits when John Bonham passed.

Agreed. Same. IF it weren't for it being Vince Gill(of whom I was already a fairly big fan) and Glenn's son, it probably wouldn't have worked for me.
But they had to replace him, IF they were going to carry on. He sang close to half of their catalog(over their entire career). I can't imagine a show with only Don, Joe, and Timothy songs. It wouldn't hold water.
Again, I agree. Led Zep did the right thing. But that's back when albums sold millions, and that's how artists made their money. Touring is the gravy boat now. And no one will ever convince me otherwise, that the reason they don't reunite now- is because Robert just can't hit the notes now, and it would be embarrassing to try. And I applaud them for that.
