![]() ![]() We wouldn't be here now if that hadn't happened" on the first day of the No Quarter sessions.Īs the first taste of Clarksdale, "Most High" found Page and Plant treading on familiar musical terrain, albeit in some new fashions. If it had happened the second day, it would have been a bit iffy. "Chances were we might not have been able to do it anymore." Page concurred that "the whole thing was really resting on that. "That fact that we could just go after 12 years of very occasional meetings to that meant that we could do it," Plant said during a New York press conference when Clarksdale was released. ![]() The new material on No Quarter is what brought the Page-Plant team back together. That same year Page had Plant co-write and sing on one track, "The Only One," from his 1988 solo album, Outrider. While Plant had steadfastly avoided Zeppelin styles on his first three solo albums, for 1988's Now and Zen he enlisted Page to play on two singles (" Heaven Knows" and "Tall Cool One") and sampled five Led Zeppelin songs on one of them. Page and Plant had circled each other, creatively, since Led Zeppelin shut down in 1980 following the death of drummer John Bonham. Most of their Grammy achievements came well after the band's demise, including Led Zeppelin’s Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005 and four songs inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The track would go on to win a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance the following year, something Page and Plant had never done to that point. ![]()
