Led Zeppelin to Release New Live Album



Although it is 95% unlikely that Led Zeppelin will ever reunite again in any capacity, we are at least getting some live recordings that we have not yet heard from them.

According to a recent interview with Planet Rock, guitarist Jimmy Page announced the in transit live album(s), saying:

“I can't give the game away, but there's a recording that’s another multi-track that we'll release. It's so different to all the other things that are out there. It's another view compared to How the West Was Won or The Song Remains the Same.

I'm looking forward to people hearing that. There's a lot of stuff to come out, a number of releases. I'd like to say that they'll be coming out over the next 10 years. There's more to come for sure.”

In the same interview, Page also announced a new Led Zeppelin book that all the remaining members collaborated on, saying:

“I'm really pleased that we're all doing it collectively, because there are so many other people doing books. There's about 10 that I know of that are coming, which is pretty ridiculous! It will be really good to have an authoritative book, where the band are actually contributing to it rather than being ripped off.”

It's nice that we're getting all this new Led Zeppelin stuff, even if it isn't what we all really want. It should be pretty cool to hear previously unreleased live recordings and to finally get a book on them from the source itself.

That said, I'm hoping that Page actually puts out that solo album of his that he has supposedly been working on for a few years now. I would LOVE to hear the stuff that he has cooked up in his refined old age.
