Page also spoke about desire to get a band together and hit the stage again. He told members of the media at the event: "If I was to play again, it would be with musicians that would be… some of the names might be new to you. I haven't put them together yet, but I'm going to do that next year. If I went out to play, I would play material that spanned everything from my recording career right back to my very, very early days with THE YARDBIRDS. There would certainly be some new material in there as well."

Anyone know why the Page+Black Crows tour split up? They were supposed to do more dates but Jimmy left precipitously
Led Zep live sounded thin. With the Black Crows it sounds a lot fuller thus better for me. When Zeppelin toured they should have brought along one multi- instrumentalist who could play to fill in anything where needed. Guitar, bass, keyboards etc. But mostly guitar to cover Jimmy's double tracked guitars. Heck, Jimmy recorded a few layers of guitars sometimes

I respectfully disagree.
The 18 times I saw them live I never walked away thinking they needed another musician on stage.

I think he threw his back out after the Tonight Show appearance, not having been used to slinging that Les Paul on his shoulders for two hours a night.

I saw them twice before 1970 and thought they sounded thin. Not on all numbers but half or more. Maybe they improved the sound in later years. It was so thin I got bored after 15 minutes...this is for one of the concerts. At the old Worlds Fair grounds in Flushing NY in '69 I believe. Its in the Zep database
REM brought along a touring musician to supplement their sound. Led Zeppelin did not. Page/Plant had lots of touring musicians and did my favorite version of Kashmir

You might be right, some of the early boots weren't as full sounding as the times I saw them (Starting in March, 1970). I thought it was just inferior recording quality. I wonder if Jimmy switching to the Les Paul by the end of '69 had anything to do with a change of their live sound?
