As we move to the DVD’s extras, we get an interview with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. This lasts 13 minutes as the pair chat about the project. They tell us why they came back together, issues connected with recording in Morocco and various influences, song selection and a few other musical topics. Likely intended to promote No Quarter, a lot of program clips show up here, and since we already own the show, they get tedious. Still, Page and Plant present enough decent info to make the interview worth a look.
Next we get a bonus track via Led Zeppelin IV’s “Black Dog”. Plant mentions this as a tune that didn’t work well in the “Unledded” setting, which seems to explain why it failed to make the final cut. Presented with stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 mixes, this rendition doesn’t work amazingly well, but it’s an interesting variation on a great song.
In the Moroccan montage we see 104 seconds of local sights accompanied by some native music. Some of the shots include Page and/or Plant, but many focus on the residents. It’s pretty dull. Lastly, we encounter a music video for “Most High”. A track off of 1997’s Page & Plant studio album Walking into Clarksdale, it shows the influence of their Moroccan experiences. It’s a decent song and a moderately interesting video.It might not be a full-fledged Led Zeppelin, but Robert Plant and Jimmy Page’s No Quarter is the next best thing. It offers alternate takes on a bunch of classic songs and makes most of them fresh and powerful. The DVD presents mediocre picture and only some minor extras, but the audio quality soars, especially via the excellent DTS mix. It’s not a stellar release, but since it includes a very good performance and sounds great, I recommend it.
Schon allein wegen Black Dog leg ich mir das Teil zu!
