"There is a band meeting in January," he told Rolling Stone magazine, adding later that "it could be fun to do more stuff."
Led Zeppelin’s reunion concert at the O2 Arena in London, which saw the groups surviving members reunite for the first time in nearly 20 years, has been dubbed 2007’s hottest event.
Over 1 million people applied for just 9,000 pairs of tickets which were issued via public ballot. Speaking the week after the show, Jones admitted that he tried to play down the enormity of the event before it began.
“I sat around playing banjo all day. It calms me down,” he said. “For every show we've ever done, there is always hype, expectancy.
"For us, it was just ‘Let's get on and do it.’ Obviously, it was quite a reception when we did get out there.”
The bassist also praised Jason Bonham, son of the band’s original drummer, John Bonham, for his playing during the concert.
“A lot of the fills were not what his dad did at all. He's as fearless as his dad, that's for sure [laughs]. But he did an amazing job, when you consider that he had to answer to every drummer in the world after that show.
“With that sort of pressure, to bring all that off was astonishing. ‘Kashmir’ was absolutely wonderful, the way he led in and out of the choruses and bridges.”
