Anyone know why the Page+Black Crows tour split up? They were supposed to do more dates but Jimmy left precipitously

As the producer of the Zeppelin albums, what do you hear in modern rock music? Does it sound over-produced, too clinical?
With Led Zeppelin, at that time, it was real performance on those albums.We made a decision just to be really honest with what we were doing. If you did a song it wasn’t made up one word at a time and all pieced together with ProTools. And you know, that’s another way of doing things. I’m not saying that that is necessarily wrong at all, because I really like what they do with modern mixing. But for Led Zeppelin, we recorded performances, in a compact and concise way, where you heard about other bands that just went on and on and on, doing the same song all through the night and starting up the next day…
yeah honest lol. except for giving credit to the people who wrote the lyrics to most of the songs

Chris was a huge party animal around that time, maybe Page got tired of all the drugs being consumed on tour. peace

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.
Yup, with the Cult opening up, still got my unused tickets...
Really!!?? THE CULT!? I guess I missed that. That would've been incredible.
I thought the Black Crowes/Page deal was supreme. Wished I could've seen it live.

Yup, the bummer of all bummers...never forget hearing the news about Page throwing his back out right after I bought the tix.

Damn, I am just getting educated about all the plagiarism Page and Plant did in Led Zep. Some very obvious rip off's that were not properly credited!
There is no question that Zeppelin was able to make those tunes their own and I love the way they interpreted them, but to try to steal the writing credit is wrong and unforgivable.
I like the way Robert Plant dealt with getting caught, he admitted he nicked the lyrics, says it was common in the blues genre to do so and was ok about paying the original writers.
Page on the other hand seems a bit more cagey and his defense seems to be " I never heard those tunes". That's pretty sleazy when its pretty obvious that he was exposed to the tunes, toured with some of the acts and nicked some pretty good music almost note for note. Unfortunately, I've lost a bit of respect for Mr. Jimmy Page. Curious to see how this latest suit about Stairway to Heaven turns out. I am guessing he did steal the opening riff but the lyrics are certainly all Plant. peace

I'm leaning towards Houses bonus, definitely the least overplayed and so different than IV and Graffiti. Really looking forward to the Graffiti release!

I think the problem with Jimmy Page is that he hasn´t been able to distance himself from Zeppelin. He seems to be emotionally tied to that group for as long as he lives. That´s the reason he reacts like a hurt child whenever someone, like in this case, dares to question the authenticity of their songs.

I listened to the bonus material from IV & Houses. A couple of good remixes (Levee & Stairway) but most of it not vital unless you're a completist. I'll stick to the single disc remasters when $ involved.

I think that video is rather pathetic. He´s been bragging about the fantastic structure of that song in a million interviews by now. That man is really living in the past.
