As for Jimmy Page and Robert Plant and comments about Brian Jones. I can report the following:
Robert was asked way back in 1979 in a CREEM Magazine interview about his relationship with the Stones. The reason for the question is that the interviewer pointed out that during "No Quarter" from the movie "The Song Remains the Same," John Paul Jones looked remarkably like Brian while sitting at the keyboard. Even his hair (for those of you who haven't seen it) was cut in the bob like Brian's. Anyway, they asked if Robert ever met Brian and he said that, no, not really, Brian died before he really got to know the Stones well. As you know Brian wanted Led Zep for the Rock n Roll Circus but Mick and Keith balked as they hadn't heard them yet. Anyway, in the same interview Jimmy commented that his one real memory of Brian was that once, when the Yardbirds were opening for the Stones, Brian had snuck backstage and "nicked" Jimmy's bottle of alcohol. He was laughing about it in the interview but he made no mention of working on the "Degree" soundtrack. Later, as in a few years ago, I heard Jimmy mention that his and Robert's inspiration for the "No Quarter" album (minus John Paul Jones but with Moroccan influences) came directly from the fact that Brian had first sojourned to record the Pipes of Pan. I suspect Jimmy had great admiration for Brian's musical abilities and he, himself, would later come to understand just how debilitating habitual drug use can become.

His Majesty
This is a thread about videos showcasing his abilities and his legacy.
With or without Anita by his side Brian could still play very ace stuff when he felt like it.

I love Brian! Too bad that he did seem to lose interest in the guitar.
