Much of Jimmy's most grievous editing is snipping out other songs from the WLL Live medley to save on royalty payments. But overall the Stones have done a much better job releasing their back catalog than the very frustrated Zeppelin fans
He's 75...he LOOKS pretty great, especially compared to some of his peers, and given his lifestyle, but at that age, you simply just can't dive back into recording and touring.Quote

Jimmy's solo album and tour will unfortunately never come. I've been saying it for years. There is no reason to ever believe its really coming until its actually here. I still hope it is, but I have zero faith because clearly he just cares too much about Zeppelin. Its sad, he could be having such a cool great latter era solo career here that he's just wasting. You're a legend man, oh well.
In regards to Zeppelin live albums, he chops them up like crazy and makes sure you get the best bits from every show, to an anal degree. Having said that, it results in a stellar live document so I really can't fault him for it. I don't really think its all necessary, but How The West Was Won and the new Song Remains The Same are fantastic and regular listens for me. Even if its cobbled together, its Zep at their peak and they sound phenomenal. I so wish we had other shows from the Physical Graffitti tour and others out on official release, since oddly enough they really HAVEN'T flooded the marketplace with live stuff. But I have to tip my hat to what he's put out. Its absolutely fantastic.

It's like muscle memory...at least the Stones do a few shows every year to keep the gears greased.
Keith's memory ain't what it used to be

I still put more faith in the Stones putting on a ripping show at their ages than Jimmy Page.Quote

Haha yeah same here.
I read an interview with Page a long time ago where he was asked his personal all time favorite guitar solo out of all the Zep songs, his answer was Achilles Last Stand.
No doubt one one the all time greatest by anyone, and there may have been a time when it was my absolute favorite of his, but he has so many it's hard to pick a single one.
I'd throw in the extendeded solo on the live version of No Quarter from Song Remains the Same as amongst his very, very best.
In fact listening to that back in the day might have killed more brain cells than listening to Achilles Last Stand.

I also read a long time ago that Page's favourite solo was on Tea For One. Might have been that he was promoting Presence at the time but it is too long ago.

Jimmy Page said that previously unheard Led Zeppelin music and ‘all manner of surprises’ will be released for the band’s fiftieth anniversary in 2018
Jimmy Page has said in a new interview that previously unheard music by Led Zeppelin will be released for the band’s fiftieth anniversary in 2018.
Page spoke to the Academy of Achievement in a 50-minute video interview, and at the end he was asked about plans for Led Zeppelin’s fiftieth anniversary next year.
“There’ll be Led Zeppelin product coming out, for sure, that people haven’t heard,” Page said, “because I’m working on that. Next year will be the fiftieth year so there’s all manner of surprises coming out.”
Page’s comments fit with what we already know about plans for Led Zeppelin’s fiftieth anniversary.
In September we reported that an executive from Led Zeppelin’s record label Warner Music Group wrote a letter in support of a planned statue of John Bonham in which he said that Warner Music is planning “a series of high-profile events” in 2018. He also said that the label plans to conduct “extensive outreach to media and fans worldwide” in conjunction with the events.

Listened to the Rain Song the other day for the first time in ages while it was heavily raining, and it's a true beauty - everything about it.
awesome song - I sat down a few months back and figured out my way( not the best) to play in standard tuning and sounds okay but no where like page . Page got the inspiration for the song from George Harrison's ( something).
