No Quarter: Jimmy Page & Robert Plant Unledded Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am very pleased with the reissuing of this CD. The remastered sound is a vast improvement over the original CD version. Page's guitar (especially the acoustic) comes off much clearer and more resonant (esp. on "Nobody's Fault," "Gallows Pole," and "That's the Way"). The electric guitar is less muddled as well. Plant's vocal singing is stronger and given more clarity.
Some new additions in this version:
a) The welcome inclusion of "Rain Song" -- one of the highlights of this reunion concert and beautifully done by Plant and Page, backed up by the orchestra.
b) "Wonderful One" is slightly different than the original audio version. In the original audio version, it starts off with the drums for several measures, then the guitar comes in. The original version is also shorter than this version. In this version, the song starts off with the guitar, Plant sings differently, and the song is slightly longer.
c) The song "Yallah" is renamed "The Truth Explodes"
I have a number of misgivings though about this new reissue:
a) It omits "Thank You" -- one of my favorite songs featured in the original CD
b) Why doesn't it include "What is and What Should Never Be" (which is featured on the DVD and video)?
c) Like other reviewers, I prefer the more familiar Zep songs than the Middle-Eastern music (even though I have nothing against Middle-Eastern music)
Other than that, I highly recommend this CD. You'll also love the DVD -- you'll get the complete tracks along with some new special features.

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant changed the face of rock 'n' roll as cofounders of Led Zeppelin. The massively influential group disbanded in 1980 following drummer John Bonham's death, and Page & Plant pursued solo careers before reuniting in 1994 for MTV's hugely popular Unplugged. That historic session-which led to an international nad new studio album-became New Quarter. Page's guitar virtuosity and Plant's vocal mastery are potent as ever as they deliver thse inspired, reinvented, takes on choice picks from the Led Zeppelin songbook.
