Overview

In October 1999, Page teamed up with the Black Crowes for a two-night performance of material from the Led Zeppelin catalogue and old blues and rock standards. The double-disc album, released originally only through the internet but then through retail on TVT Records, is a recorded snapshot of the entire concert from Page and the Crowes, one of the first before they set out on a full-length American tour in the summer of 2000. Recorded at the Greek Theatre, Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles with LeMobile Recording Facilities, and mastered at Sterling Sound, New York (disambiguation)|New York. Due to contractual problems with their record company, The Black Crowes were unable to release any of their own songs which were played at the Greek shows. The band left American/Columbia in 1999, and they were not allowed to recut any song they released on the label in the years immediately following their departure. These songs, on which Jimmy Page played with the Crowes, included: 'Wiser Time', 'No Speak No Slave', 'Remedy', 'Hard to Handle', and 'She Talks to Angels'. The double CD was released in stores by TVT on 4 July 2000, and featured an enhanced Quicktime video and photographs taken during the concert. The Japanese version of the album also features 'Misty Mountain Hop' and 'In the Light', recorded in 2000.
