Page says the band only came back together in honor of Atlantic Records boss Ahmet Ertergun. "Ahmet Ertegun had died, and a foundation was set-up with a show to be played at (London's) O2 Arena," says Page. "We were asked to do 20 minutes� but we did 2 hours and 20 minutes."

Page added, "it was really good to get back with Jason (Bonham) and have a really good crack at it." Jason Bonham played with Led Zeppelin at Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary show in 1988, when five songs were played. Page is full of praise for Bonham Jr. "By my estimation, Jason had the hardest job. The energy he had was phenomenal. Fabulous drummer."

Of the Celebration Day DVD itself, in stores on 19 November, Page says, "there are some seriously powerful moments in this. When we came back to look at it, even we (the band) went, Wow!"

The group updated fans on the project on Thursday, posting news that Geezer Butler "is all set to record some more bass tracks on the new album today." The update included a black and white photo of Geezer's basses in the studio.

"We'll have Bobby Keys in for a few horn things but we're not carrying sections. Charlie said, 'We should have the stripped-down thing.' I said, 'Charlie, you realize how much pressure that puts on the guitar lineup?' But at the same time, it's a challenge, and he's right," agreed Richards. "The fact is that what we try and do onstage is deliver what's on the record, and there's a lot of horns and a lot of voices. OK, you want the blues band, you want the rock 'n' roll, stripped down? You're going to get it. It's going to be fun, man," Richards told Rolling Stone.

I had come up with the riff and basic structure on tour somewhere. Apparently, Walker [drummer] remembers it more vividly than me! He should tell it. Anyway, I had this riff and then sat in my studio right before Phil (Ramone, producer of 15th & Hope) flew down to start recording and it all fell together quickly. Wrote itself almost.

I wrote Stars starting with the feeling the riff and "ooh oohs" gave me just led to the lyric being sort of upbeat and positive. It felt like movement, so I thought about my newborn son and how fast life goes by and the need to stop and, forget smell, but grab the roses for all they're worth.

The guys always have a real input and effect on the outcome of a miggs song. Basically, I have a good idea of what I believe the lyric is asking for and then they interpret it their way and we find a place that works for all of us. Their influence gives the song more dimensions, I feel.

During the recording process, the damn "ooh oohs" were the hardest part!!! Lol. Simplest thing but getting them right was tough. Not even sure we did in the end. Otherwise it went super easy.

"It's a song about grabbing hold of people and moments as they are here and as they are happening so that you don't end up with regrets, and so that love, life, and opportunities don't pass you by," frontman Chris Keene said. "The pop music we love is all about living in the now, so for these three minutes you can feel fully alive. That's what we try to do with our music - make people feel alive. Whether it's a sad song or a happy song, feeling anything, good or bad, is what life is all about." Listen to it here.

This popular jazz festival continues to grow in international stature and this year marks its 10th anniversary. The festival takes place at a favorite Playa del Carmen party spot: beautiful Mamita's Beach where you can watch the lights of the island of Cozumel twinkling in the distance as the music plays.

Scheduled to appear on November 22 are Big Band Joe-D'Etienne, Pete Escovedo and Victor Wooten. The 23rd will see performances by Nortec, Pancho Sanchez and Level 42 (the Brit band famed as a pop/dance act was originally a jazz/funk fusion outfit) and the festival closes out on the 24th with shows by John Scofield, the Wayne Shorter Quartet and perennial festival favorites Aguamala. Admission to all shows is free. Playa del Carmen is about 45 miles down the beach from Cancun.
