Plant & Page - 1998-05-05 - London, UK (TV SBD)

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page spent almost a decade together as part of one of rock’s greatest bands, the mighty Led Zeppelin, before the band's demise in 1980 after the death of drummer John Bonham. In the mid 1990s, almost 15 years after Led Zep dissolved, Plant and Page reunited for an MTv Unplugged special, which received rave reviews. As a result, the duo not only released the Unplugged sessions as an album entitled No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded, but also agreed to tour in 1995. After that tour, the two went back into the studio and recorded another album, entitled Walking Into Clarksdale. The title referred to a town in the Mississippi Delta, a home of Delta blues music that influenced the duo. Released in April 1998, the album went to #8 on the Billboard charts in the US, and climbed all the way to #3 in the UK. Plant and Page went back on tour in support of Walking Into Clarksdale, touring North America and Europe in the summer and fall of 1998. This soundboard recording captures the duo right before that tour, on the Jools Holland show on May 5, 1998, a quarter century ago today. ago today .  At the tour’s end, however, Robert Plant decided he wanted to pursue some new musical directions. He and Page parted on good terms, each to return to his own solo career.
