Most High and Shining in the Light were released as singles, with a music video for the former. Most High was also featured as a CD single with the b-sides Upon a Golden Horse and The Window.

Japanese bonus track Whiskey from the Glass - Jimmy Page referred to this as "most atmospheric". Sounds legit!

John Bonham, quoted by Dave Lewis in his essential reference book, Led Zeppelin: The Concert File

"Every concert has been fantastic, four or five encores. Everybody has been going sort of mad. In Montreal, the hall seats 13,800 and we drew 16,000. They sold all standing room and all the aisles.

1972 Led Zeppelin, Brisbane

1988:
On this day Robert Plant’s Now and Zen album was released with two tracks featuring Jimmy Page on guitar: Heaven Knows and Tall Cool One. Jimmy Page's contribution to the songs is noted with a Zoso symbol in the liner notes, but he's not shown in the videos (the link below doesn't include a video). No matter, I never look at the visuals anyway. Music is something perceived with ears, not eyes. And listening, seems to me that Tall Cool One reflects a bit of the late David Bowie.

Meanwhile:
Sometime after the Melbourne 20 February 1972 show Jimmy Page shaved off the beard he'd had for nearly two years. His first public appearance clean-shaven again was at the Auckland, New Zealand gig at  Western Springs Stadium. Robert Plant took a photo of him at the soundcheck.
