Plant performed with living members of Led Zeppelin both on 13 July 1985 for [[Live Aid]] (with [[Phil Collins]] and [[Tony Thompson (drummer)|Tony Thompson]] on drums) and on 15 May 1988 for [[Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary]]. At the 1988 reunion, [[Jason Bonham]], the son of Led Zeppelin's late drummer [[John Bonham]], played drums. Both sets featured only a few songs, performed with minimal rehearsal. Plant was unhappy with both performances, saying that "it was like sleeping with your ex-wife but not making love." At the 1990 [[Silver Clef Award]] Winners Concert at [[Knebworth Festival|Knebworth]], Plant was joined by Jimmy Page. Some of their set was released on the subsequent live album and video. In 1995, Led Zeppelin were inducted into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]];<ref name=Hall>{{cite web|url=https://www.rockhall.com/inductees/led-zeppelin|work=rockhall.com|title=Led Zeppelin}}</ref> Plant performed a medley of blues numbers at the induction show with Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Jason Bonham, [[Steven Tyler]] and [[Joe Perry (musician)|Joe Perry]], then they were joined by fellow inductee [[Neil Young]] for "[[When the Levee Breaks]]".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/rock-roll-hall-of-fame-95-74694/|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|title=Rock & Roll Hall of Fame '95|author=[[Jancee Dunn]]|date=23 February 1995}}</ref>

After years of reunion rumours, Led Zeppelin performed a full two-hour set on 10 December 2007 at the [[Ahmet Ertegün Tribute Concert]], with [[Jason Bonham|Jason]] again filling in on drums. Despite enormous public demand, Plant declined a $200&nbsp;million offer to tour with Led Zeppelin after the 2007 show.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.justpressplay.net/music/music-news/3001-robert-plan-turns-down-200-million-for-led-zep-reunion-tour.html |date=2 March 2008 |title=Robert Plant Turns Down $200 million for Zeppelin Reunion Tour |website=Just Press Play |access-date=1 January 2012}}</ref> In interviews following the 2007 show, Plant left the door open to possible future performances with Led Zeppelin, saying that he enjoyed the reunion and felt that the show was strong musically.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uncut.co.uk/news/led_zeppelin/news/11294 |title=Robert Plant Confirms 'Led Zeppelin Could Play Again' |website=Uncut |access-date=16 March 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111205200642/http://www.uncut.co.uk/news/led_zeppelin/news/11294 |archive-date=5 December 2011 }}</ref> Although Page and Jones have expressed the strong desire to tour as Led Zeppelin,<ref>{{cite web|author=Jason Gregory |date=13 June 2008 |url=http://www.gigwise.com/news/43840/jason-bonham-i-would-do-a-led-zeppelin-tour-in-a-heartbeat |title=Jason Bonham: 'I Would Do a Led Zeppelin Tour in a Heartbeat' |website=Gigwise |access-date=1 January 2012}}</ref> Plant has consistently opposed a full tour and has responded negatively to questions about another reunion. In a January 2008 interview, he stated that he does not want to "tour like a bunch of bored old men following the Rolling Stones around." In a statement on his web site in late 2008, Plant stated, "I will not be touring with Led Zeppelin or anyone else for the next two years. Anyone buying Led Zeppelin tickets will be buying bogus tickets."

In February 2013, Plant hinted that he was open to a Led Zeppelin reunion in 2014, though suggesting that he was not the reason for Led Zeppelin's dormancy, saying that Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones "are Capricorns...They're quite contained in their own worlds and they leave it to me", adding that he was "not the bad guy" and that "You need to see the Capricorns – I've got nothing to do in 2014".<ref>{{cite web |author=Rolling Stone |url=http://entertainment.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/19/17019003-robert-plant-hints-hed-be-open-to-a-led-zeppelin-reunion?lite |title=Robert Plant hints he'd be open to a Led Zeppelin reunion |website=NBC News Entertainment |date=19 February 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130221042359/http://entertainment.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/19/17019003-robert-plant-hints-hed-be-open-to-a-led-zeppelin-reunion?lite |access-date=16 March 2013|archive-date=21 February 2013 }}</ref>

In a spring 2014 interview with the [[BBC]] about the then forthcoming reissue of Led Zeppelin's first three albums, Page said he was sure fans would be keen on another reunion show, but Plant later replied that "the chances of it happening [were] zero". Page then told ''The New York Times'' that he was "fed up" with Plant's refusal to play, stating: "I was told last year that Plant said he is doing nothing in 2014, and what do the other two guys think? Well, he knows what the other guys think. Everyone would love to play more concerts for the band. He's just playing games, and I'm fed up with it, to be honest with you. I don't sing, so I can't do much about it", adding: "I definitely want to play live. Because, you know, I've still got a twinkle in my eye. I can still play. So, yeah, I'll just get myself into musical shape, just concentrating on the guitar."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/news/led-zeppelin/77386 |title=Jimmy Page is 'fed up' with Plant delaying Led Zeppelin reunion plans |date= 19 May 2014 <!-- 11:37  --> |website=[[NME]] |access-date=22 August 2014}}</ref>

On 30 July 2014, [[NME]] revealed that Plant was "slightly disappointed and baffled" by Page in an ongoing Led Zeppelin dispute during which Page declared he was "fed up" with Plant delaying Led Zeppelin reunion plans. Instead, Plant offered Led Zeppelin's guitarist to write acoustically with him as he is interested in working with Page again but only in an unplugged way.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/news/led-zeppelin/78865 |title=Robert Plant says he is 'disappointed and baffled' by Jimmy Page in ongoing Led Zeppelin dispute |date= 30 July 2014 <!-- 12:09  --> |website=[[NME]] |access-date=22 August 2014}}</ref> Page responded:

{{blockquote|He would have no intention whatsoever of doing it ... I've had enough of all this stuff, to be honest: 'Robert says this, Robert says that.' ... The only reality of it is that we did one concert. No matter how you dress it up, look at the situation. That's it.<ref>{{cite magazine |first= Michael |last= Bonner |title= An Audience with Jimmy Page |magazine= [[Uncut (magazine)|Uncut]] |date= January 2015 |page= 18}}</ref>}}
