From Classic Rock magazine via Louder posted recently.

Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant helped save Rush in their darkest hour, says Geddy Lee

One omitted mention is that Geddy met Robert in Morocco, which is referenced from this November 2008 interview below with George Stroumboulopoulos.

Beginning at the 7:24 mark.

This led to the Page & Plant concert noted here.

The full issue of Classic Rock # 289 (excerpt here) will be released on May 25th.

I love how Alex talked about Jimmy and how much he wanted to be him.  It's evident in his playing.
