The song remains the same, just transposed to a different key

NME reprints some rumors originally reported by "The Sun."

Led Zep reunion hit by old classics' problem | News | NME.COM

"Jimmy is a bit rusty and Robert has been struggling with the high notes. To avoid any embarrassing vocal wobbles with the world watching, they decided it would be best to transpose the songs in a lower key."
Although "The Sun" is positioning this as a negative, I think it would work out well. I actually liked the way Robert Plant's voice sounded on his "Raising Sand" collaboration with Alison Krauss. So this could turn out to be interesting, a reinterpretation of the Zeppelin classics that would be more honest, and thus more artistically valid.
