There are rumours that the band was heard post-show considering a string of dates and Madison Square Garden in NYC, though I've not heard anything very convincing yet. I feel pretty sure that they'll release a DVD though. It was definitely filmed, and I suspect it's just a matter of time to let Page pore through it, slicing and dicing and looking for bum notes to erase ... ;)
I think it would be a nice gesture to tour -- this is a band (more or less) with a lot of fans, young and old, who'd like the chance to see them. I don't expect it would do me much good, since they probably won't play Colombia :lol: but they'd probably do a credible job. Just so long as they didn't turn it into the Ozzy-fronted Sabbath reunion deal, wheeling out the same old set-list for several years of touring. I don't mind a quick nostalgia trip (insofar as I can claim nostalgia for a band that broke up just after my 9th birthday ;)), but without new material this would get boring quickly, whether I'd seen a show or not. I know Page has publicly hinted that he'd not just like to tour but do new recordings -- but that would surprise me a lot more than a tour of any size.
Though ... still .... After the Page/Plant thing in the '90s, I remember thinking that they should really get together with JPJ and work on new material, perhaps in collaboration with others, under some non-Zep or "post-Zep" moniker. Leave the existing LZ legacy as it is, but do something different that continues the theme. This is kind of what the "Heaven & Hell"/"Mob Rules line-up" Sabbathy contingent appear to be doing, with their tour under the H&H name and the apparent plans to record a new album next year under it as well. I think that's a good approach. It lets people who created great music together work together again without the dangers of backtracking over the legacy.
That's kind of one of the good things that can come out of the reunion things (dodgy though they can be). I mean, I love old Jethro Tull to death, but though the band never technically "broke up", it evolved more and more into the Ian Anderson Show than it even was to start, and the vibe of the recordings drifted farther and farther those of the more integrated line-ups. Now while the new "Heaven & Hell" songs (technically released as "Black Sabbath", I suppose) may not be the greatest things since sliced bread, they sound respectably like what I want from Dio-era Sabbath. Heck, I even have a soft spot for "Yallah" from the '90s Page & Plant reunion.
Well, a little stroll down memory lane is nice, but half-decent new material quickly becomes better. If the reunited LZ aren't going to pursue that route, then I don't think more than a brief tour to give a few more punters a shot at the nostalgia are worth the trouble.
