Play the Seattle 1975-03-21 show instead. You'll thank me. 75 probably was the tour where the L.A. gigs were not the apex of the whole tour.

Whatever happened to Page's solo album? Man the guy seems to have issues with fixating on Zep! What a waste of talent.

He´s been talking about some new and exciting product now for many years, but I think he lives completely in the past.

Sorry, it was never promising. The fact that Keith finally got a solo album out before Page should tell you all you need to know. Page is all talk, always has been talk, and will unfortunately continue to disappoint many fans of his for probably the rest of his life. I'd love it if he'd prove me wrong but he hasn't in 10 years and I don't see that changing as he ages.

Like a new 1968 LZ recording? That's the word on the street... take it or leave it.

You sound like he owes you money or something, and is avoiding paying you back the debt.
After the legacy he created with Led Zeppelin, he could fall asleep for the rest of his life never having to do anything again - everything beyond Led Zeppelin is icing.
Yes it would be nice if he unburied his head out of the sand, but I don't hold it against him, and am definitely not disappointed. All I have to do is put on Physical Graffitti et al, not to mention the hundreds of boots available.
Hope he lives long and prospers at whatever he feels like doing with his time, and if that's baby sitting the Zeppelin legacy then so be it. And there's still the possibility that some day Page and Plant (and Jones) will work together. Whether it's called Led Zeppelin or not is beside the point- never say never.Quote

Hmmm....is that it?
If so, I'm slightly disappointed...

God, if he's not gonna tour, then I wish he'd do like Master Classes where he just brings a guitar, has an audiences, and answers questions and plays some stuff if asked. That would be awesome to just be in a room with him. I'd kill for the tour thats never gonna happen as long as he's alive, but just seeing him pick up the guitar in this clip gives me chills. He's a legend that literally barricades himself away and never plays in public anymore. Say what you want about Keith Richards and his ancient looks and his diminishing quality, but at least he's still out there plucking a guitar:

But I do really hope some very early live or studio surprises are part of Jimmy's plans with this.
Here's to Zep's fiftieth and Robert having so much soul and refined natural class!
