Jimmy Page And John Paul Jones Join Foo Fighters On Stage At June 7 Wembley Stadium Concert
According to NME.com, Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joined the Foo Fighters onstage at the Foos’ second Wembley Stadium concert, which took place on Saturday, June 7th in London.
Page and Jones joined the Foo Fighters during the encore for versions of “Rock ‘n’ Roll” and “Ramble On.” Dave Grohl took over drum duties on “Rock ‘n’ Roll,” while the band’s regular drummer, Taylor Hawkins, deputized on vocals for the missing Robert Plant, who is currently touring with Alison Krauss.
When Page and Jones were leaving the stage before the Foo Fighters played the closing song, “Best of You,” Grohl shouted to the crowd, “Welcome to the greatest f—ing day of my life!”
It sounds like it was one hell of a show. Hopefully, clips of the show will turn up on You Tube.

One step closer to a reunion tour? Or maybe, one day closer to death.
