IT'S HAPPENING. When I clicked on the links they didn't include any more information than the above headlines. I would like to see the full text of the interview or press conference. Frankly, I'll believe Page is performing with a new band when I see them take the stage. He's made similar statements before during the past seven years but, didn't follow through.

TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 He's never said it in the capacity where he's saying it to various different media outlets at the form of this listening party. I finally sense something going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally sense something going on. Btw, I didn't read where he said he would be touring. Only that he would be performing with a group of previously unknown musicians. If this actually happens, it's possible they'll only be performing about London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woz70 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 He's said 'if I was to play live again', not 'when I play live again'. He's talking the talk (again), but time will tell if he actually gets around to walking the walk. The fact that he's talking unknowns for his 'band' makes me think this is just talk. We'll see.

mack Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Mr Page has always been the master of dangling just enough to pique people's interest. What he seems to forget is that his following has never lost interest, and never will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANONYMOUS Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 While journalists can use quotes to present their interpretation of a comment (similar to how the tweets did), these from Rolling Stone present his commentary as completely conditional. In other words, more of the same. "If I was to play again it would be with musicians ... some of them might be new to you," he said. "I haven't put the musicians together, I'm going to do that next year. "If I went out to play again, I would play material that spanned my recording career," continued the musician. "I'd go back to the very early days, [including] Yardbirds material, and it would certainly have some new material as well. And I'd hopefully play all of the things I'm known to play – instrumental versions of 'Dazed and Confused' etc. etc." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aen27 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It sounded the most real as I have ever heard it. I don't think it's just talk this time, but maybe I am already getting my hopes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenna Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It would be lovely! If it actually happens, I'll be as shocked as I'll be thrilled. I do hope it's true, the time is right, but then again I'm realistic about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Duck Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It's the tease aspect of Page's comments that annoy me. If he doesn't have anything solid planned why not just say so. "I don't have any plans to perform or record new music within the next year." Simple, straightforward, hard to misinterpret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
