This Saturday on The Gig: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of LED ZEPPELIN


This Saturday, The Gig features 'No Quarter' - a live album by Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. The long awaited reunion between Page and Plant occurred on a 90 minute "UnLedded" project, recorded in Morocco, Wales, and London, which rated highly on network television. It was not a reunion of Led Zeppelin, however, as former bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones was not present. Jones later commented that he was unhappy about Plant and Page naming the album after "No Quarter", a Led Zeppelin song which was largely his work.
In addition to acoustic numbers, the album features a heavy world music reworking of Led Zeppelin classics, along with four Middle-Eastern and Moroccan-influenced songs: "City Don't Cry," "Yallah," (or "The Truth Explodes") "Wonderful One," and "Wah Wah".


The Gig - Saturdays 5 pm, Only on Zee Cafe.
