You got to see that?! COOL

As for Page, I think starting from 1972/1973 he was at his peak and traveled down from there. His Earl's Court tone isn't bad, just not as good, from there his tone became muddy and undefined (especially in 1977) and excessively clean (everything IMO, of course).

After Zep we had his wonderful tones with The Firm..

However, he picked things up again:
Live at The Greek w/the Black Crowes
Wembley, as you said
the Reunion show

Currently, I think tone isn't bad, much better than before, but still not as good as Page c.1973
