That's a cool thread, definitely, but it doesn't go to the OP's question, which was, do we know what the members of Zep thought about DP?  I recall a quote from JPJ dismissing Blackmore for (allegedly) claiming that he was a big-time session player in the 60's (like Page), but that's about all I know.  It's well-known that Zep and Black Sabbath had personal friendships, but I'm unaware of anything substantial between Zep and DP.

Exactly, that's what I'm saying.

They discuss it in this interview! Makes for a great listen actually they discuss multiple bands/records.
