How many can say they witnessed Led Zeppelin perform live in the band's prime? The legendary group ceased touring regularly in 1980 after drummer John Bonham's untimely death -- to the devastation of fans worldwide. Despite a few particular appearances over the years, the remaining three members can't seem to launch a full on reunion. Whether this aversion to regrouping stems from infighting or a lack of enthusiasm toward regurgitating the old hits is up for debate. While Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones mull over their intertwining futures, the rest of us can enjoy seminal songs such as "Stairway to Heaven" at Led Zeppelin Live! Starring Heartbreaker. This tribute show incorporates the music and look of the band. Jefrey James as front man Plant even gets the pants right. And Led Zeppelin fans take Plant's pants very seriously. 8 p.m. Saturday, The Center for Performing Arts at Governors State University, 1 University Parkway, University Park. $22; 708-235-2222 or centertickets.net
