Is he known to have (had) a problem with alcohol or other substances?

He looked a lot rough in the video. I'd be willing to bet that he isn't as clean as he claimed.
He does need need to find some of that faith that he sang about for so many years and move forward.

The other Jimmy Page was also at O2...
Syncrolite’s vice president of marketing also watched the show from the mix riser, trying his best to refrain from telling old stories of his days on the road with Zeppelin in the ’70s as part of the Showco crew, and how sharing the same name as the lead guitarist led to much confusion with groupies.
The ‘other’ Jimmy Page said: “We describe our new SX10K-D as the ‘Hammer Of The Gods’, so it’s perfect for Zeppelin — it’s an incredibly bright f**ker!” -

Amazingly, the answer was contained within the last 10 posts.

Guitars were doubletracked in octaves on the studio track and on the O2 version, Page used the Digitech WH-1 Whammy pedal.

There is an extensive article in TBL 32 about the where and when the first rehearsal took place. In conclusion, neither questions were truly answered although it's pretty close. Seek the issue out.
The idea that the Dominique Tarle photo was taken at the first rehearsal was first reported on p. 12-13 of the Q Classic issue of Led Zeppelin: Classic, Rare & Unseen (Volume 1, Issue 9), which came out in 2005.

Regarding this photo:
I don't think it was taken at MacNeil Press. Why would Jimmy bring his guitars? Even if he did, he wouldn't take them out their cases. In the photo we can see his Danelectro (center) and the Telecaster (right). The guitars being out indicate either a performance or a recording session.
The photographer is credited as being Dominique Tarlé - a French photographer - so likely the picture is from a European location.
I think the clothes help zero in on the approximate date.
Photos from the Brondby show on March 15th have Plant, Page and maybe Jones wearing the same shirts.
The elevators indicate that a) it's probably not a club gig, b ) not a hotel (why would the guitars be out?) c) probably not a recording studio (could be but there are no known studio dates from that timeframe) d) a TV or Radio studio.
That points to five dates from around this time:
1) March 3 - Playhouse - we have a picture of this already - clothes are different
2) March 14 - Swedish TV - Page has the same clothes on for this - but not the others
3) March 17 - Danish TV - none of them have the same clothes as the photo
4) March 19 - BBC Maida Vale -
we have a photo of this already. I don't see the Maida Vale building needing these elevators...5) March 21 - BBC Lime Grove...we have no pictures of this, but the building has multiple stories and the "style" of the elevators looks like it's from the same era:
Of course it could also be at one of the other large halls - Tivoli, Konserhuset, or Uppsala - or from another unknown gig.
But my guess is that the photo is from March 21st at Lime Grove.
Interestingly, there are also photos from a promo session where both Page and Plant are dressed the same, and Bonham is wearing a shirt that he had in Miami in Feb. I'm pretty sure the photographer is also Dominique Tarlé.
Dominic Tarlé had said the the elevator picture was taken at Zeppelin's first rehearsal. I tend to doubt that.

They weren't on the best of terms back then. In fact, if you remember during JPJ's speech he thanked them for finally remembering his phone number.
True, true. Jones did have a lackadaisical look on his face during the performance.
-
I'm not aware of any in advance, although Page & Plant had already been working together for nearly a year. You may recall the MTV coverage which suggests they were still undecided on a set list while gathered together backstage waiting to perform.
I figured that the backstage chatter with Jones waving his fingers at Page was just because the cameras were rolling and just "for show". I know Messieurs Page, Plant & Jones can improv like the best of them and the whole thing truly felt like a jam. I know I was left a little disappointed with the whole experience. Out of 7 song snippets that they played, only 2 were Zep songs and WTLB

Steve, are you aware of any rehearsals with Plant, Page, Jones & friends before their RARHOF performance from January 1995?

Are there any pictures of Jimmy Page performing at the jam at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony in 1992 when the Yardbirds were inducted?
-
IMO, that's a gorgeous house and property, despite the pictures being 27 years old. The worst thing that could be done is to "modernize it".
-
I heard/read they were initially practicing BIGLY for the '77 tour.
With Page on pedal steel, yes.

I listened to a radio station today, uh, you know we had to finish off, go half-way through the concert last night, Jimmy was totally ill. A man in this radio station, who I'll call, The Loop. Yeah? This radio ... for a long time, insinuating that Mr. Page had been drinking a greek, alcoholic substance all day. And it's fair to say that Mr. Page neither smokes, drinks, takes women or does anything like that, so we'd like an apology from The Loop tomorrow, and another crate, and another crate of the same alcohol, please. -Robert Plant, April 10, 1977, after Ten Years Gone

Friday the 30th August will be the date for the final in a series of Question & Answer sessions with Richard. He has been more then fair in giving us this wonderful access to his memories! so this will be your last chance to ask him what ever it is that you want to know about working with the best Rock n Roll band on the planet or anything else to do with his long career.

The Clockwork Orange-inspired bolo hat with white clothes is the only "costume attire" worn onstage that comes to mind.
Various versions of the spider shirt from 1973 might be considered a pseudo-costume.

Despite liner notes on Led Zeppelin II saying that The Lemon Song and Moby Dick were recorded at Mirror Sound in Los Angeles with engineer Chris Huston and Jimmy Page mentioning Mirror Sound in his pictorial autobiography, I've never found any other/real evidence of its existence.
Many sources have said that Chris Huston was the house engineer and co-managing partner at Mystic Sound Studios. I've also found advertisements in early 1970s Billboard magazine for Mystic, but no Mirror.
Any thoughts?
