Tuesday Rock Roundup
Jimmy Page says that Led Zeppelin's reunion show last December in London may be released on DVD. He tells Uncut magazine, "It was recorded, but we didn't go in with the express purpose of making a DVD. We haven't seen the images or investigated the multi-tracks. It's feasible that it might come out at some distant point, but it'll be a massive job to embark on." As for future work together, including recording new material, bass player John Paul Jones says, "I'd have to think about that. We spoke after [the London show] and we thought the same -- it felt like the first night of a tour. You think, 'Oh, I could do that a bit better, or change something in that song'. And we didn't get a chance to do any more." And Robert Plant says, "Hopefully, one day, we could do it again for another really, really good reason. Because there's unfinished business, definitely."
According to Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash, Led Zeppelin has no plans to tour. He tells Britain's Daily Star, "I'm good friends with Jimmy Page, so I can tell you once and for all the tour doesn't look like it's happening anytime soon. But who knows -- one day?" Slash adds that rumors that Velvet Revolver was going to open for Zeppelin "were taken out of context." Velvet Revolver is in Amsterdam tonight, where I'm certain they'll avoid any and all forms of illegal substances.
Eddie Van Halen is doing just fine, according to his son and bandmate, Wolfgang Van Halen. Wolfie tells People magazine, "Don't listen to the rumors -- he's doing great, seriously." Van Halen were forced to postpone their tour after Eddie underwent a "battery of comprehensive medical tests." Meanwhile, David Lee Roth spoke to Fashion News Live:

Van Halen resume their tour April 17th in Reno, Nevada.
The Rolling Stones are back in stores today with another live album. Shine a Light is the soundtrack to the Martin Scorsese movie, which opens Friday. Filmed and recorded in 2006 at the Beacon Theater in New York, it is available as a two-CD set as well as a single disc. In addition to the concert staples "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Sympathy for the Devil," "Start Me Up," "Brown Sugar" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," there are a few rarities -- including "All Down the Line," "Loving Cup," "Faraway Eyes," "Champagne and Reefer," "You Got the Silver" and "Connection." And there are duets with special guests Buddy Guy, Christina Aguilera and Jack White. The Stones are in London tonight for the U-K premiere of Shine a Light.
Billy Joel will soon be movin' out of one of his Long Island homes. The singer has put his "Middlesea" estate up for grabs at an asking price of more than 32 million dollars. The waterfront property, which is situated on 14 acres of land, was briefly on the market last year, but the Piano Man found no takers. Possibly because he was asking for 32 million dollars.
Billy's bud Elton John is scheduled to perform at a campaign fundraiser for Hillary Clinton on April 9th at Radio City Music Hall in New York, but there might be a problem. Election laws prohibit foreigners from donating or raising cash for candidates. The legislation was passed in 1966 to "minimize foreign intervention" in American elections. Penalties for infringements include fines and prison sentences. A spokesman for the Federal Elections Commission says there could be a conflict if it is determined that Elton is contributing indirectly to the Clinton campaign. But the Washington Times says there is an exemption as long as the foreign national isn't compensated, and Elton is reportedly not being compensated.
You may recall that about a month ago we interviewed REO Speedwagon singer Kevin Cronin and talked about an appearance he made on the FOX TV show Don't Forget the Lyrics. He said he did well but wasn't permitted to elaborate. Well, the episode aired last week and Cronin raised 350 thousand dollars for MusiCares, which offers financial, medical and personal assistance to members of the music industry in need. Cronin remembered the lyrics to the Simple Minds' "Don't You Forget About Me," the Ghostbusters theme, as well as REO's "Keep on Loving You." Gee...what were the odds? Cronin closed out the show with REO's "Roll With the Changes." REO have a show in Greenville, South Carolina tonight.
The Gridiron Bash, a series of 17 concerts on April 18th at college stadiums across the country, has been postponed after hitting a snag with the NCAA. The Black Crowes, Maroon 5, Counting Crows, and Goo Goo Dolls were all set to perform.
Among May Pang's favorite photos in her newly published book Instamatic Karma is a shot of John Lennon signing documents in a Florida hotel room legally dissolving The Beatles' partnership. May recalls finding some dark frames she thought at first to be negatives -- they were taken in low-light conditions. Then she recognized the importance of the moment. "He signs and you could see all these other signatures before him. He's the last one." May was Lennon's girlfriend in the early '70s, during his separation from Yoko Ono.
