Goldsmith tells Led Zep not to tour

Promoter Harvey Goldsmith says he 'can't see the point' of a Led Zeppelin tour, urging the band not to go on the road with or without Robert Plant.

Harvey Goldsmith has said that he "can't see the point" of a Led Zeppelin tour, and has warned the band against going on the road again, with or without Robert Plant. I've been saying that for ages, though, and they haven't taken any notice of me.

Speaking to BBC News at MUSexpo, Goldsmith said: "I certainly don't think they should do a big tour because I can't see the point of it. I just think it's a lot of talk, I think it's wishful thinking. Whether they all come together and do something in the future, they may. I think some of the band really want to go out and do it and other parts of the band need to understand why they're doing it, and if there's no compelling reason to do it, then they shouldn't do it. I think that there is an opportunity for them to go out and present themselves. I don't think a long rambling tour is the answer as Led Zeppelin. It's a question of whether they want to do it, and you've got to want to do it. Otherwise it's done for the wrong reasons, and when things are done for the wrong reasons, they don't work".
