1969:
Led Zeppelin was the opening act to veteran performers, Vanilla Fudge. According to a press review, Vanilla Fudge appeared as musical impostors when compared to a group like Zeppelin. The bass player for the Fudge even apologetically acknowledged this as he mounted the stage and said, “There’s no way we can follow that.”
~Summer Chronicle, by S. Poulsen, August 1, 1969

1984:
The Mill Studios (also known as The Mill or The Sol), located in Berkshire, England, was a recording studio built by Gus Dudgeon, who purchased the property in 1975 to develop a studio for recording/producing a number of Elton John's albums. The property itself is an old watermill on the Thames River system, with a recording studio and control room connected to the old watermill and residential wheelhouse via a bridge over the millpond dam.

Jimmy Page purchased the studio complex in 1980 when he also bought a home, the Old Mill House, a few minutes away.

The Led Zeppelin songs Poor Tom and We're Gonna Groove, originally recorded in 1970, were produced by Mr. Page at Sol Studios for release for the album Coda. The soundtrack for the film Death Wish IIThe Firm’s two albums, and Outrider were also recorded at The Sol.

Jimmy Page visited Japan with Ross Halfin. While he was there they visited the Peace Memorial Park in Naka Ward, Hiroshima, where Page left flowers at the Cenotaph for the A-bomb Victims. The last time he was there was with Led Zeppelin, in 1971, when the band held a “Love and Peace” charity concert in the former Hiroshima Prefectural gymnasium in Naka Ward. Proceeds from that concert, amounting to some seven million yen, were donated to the City of Hiroshima to aid atomic bomb survivors.

1982:
Coda is Led Zeppelin's ninth studio album and is comprised of unused tracks from the band's various studio sessions over the years. "Coda" is a musical term that means a passage that follows the main body of a musical piece and provides a conclusion to the piece.
"Coda was released, basically, because there was so much bootleg stuff out. We thought, "Well, if there's that much interest, then we may as well put the rest of our studio stuff out".

A day of rest across the years.  Or, if not rest, then at least out of the spotlight.

1978:
Ozone Baby, Darlene, and Wearing and Tearing were recorded during the Polar Studio sessions. The tracks were not included on In Through The Out Door but appeared on 1982's Coda.

1979:
Led Zeppelin's eighth studio album was originally titled Look.  It was released as In Through The Out Door with album artwork designed by Hipgnosis. Both music and artwork reflect who Led Zeppelin really was at the time. Never, ever, predictable. Never, ever going to explain. 

Then and now: If you don't get it, you won't get it.

Ask Jimmy!

Translated from the French website ouiFM using Google Translate, so it's a little weird:

ASK YOUR QUESTIONS TO JIMMY PAGE WITH YES FM!

On the occasion of the last batch of reissues of the albums of Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page and FM Yes give you an appointment at a special masterclass, during which you can ask YOUR questions to the master!

We do more than they expected: after the first 6 editions of legendary Led Zeppelin studio albums, widely acclaimed by critics, it was the turn of Presence, In Through the Out Door and Coda know a prodigious back in the studio ! Guitarist and producer Jimmy Page has again secured the remastering of these mythical discs that close discography of one of the most essential rock formations of his generation. Presence, recorded at a lightning session of 18 days in Germany published in 1976, had reached the top of the American and British charts upon its release. His successor, In Through the Out Door, released in 1979, contains the bombs Fool in the Rain and All My Love, classic American radio stations but also the last album recorded with drummer John Bonham, who died the following year. Finally Coda, released in 1982, the most mysterious disk group consisting of unreleased tracks from 1970 and 1978, giving a surprising spotlight on keyboards.

On the occasion of reissues of Presence, In Through the Out Door and Coda, FM Yes Fnac joined forces to host the great Jimmy Page at Fnac Ternes Tuesday, June 23 from 17h to 18h for an exceptional masterclass! The English genius we speak of the decisions and the work on these final versions and will put an end to this campaign of rediscovery of Led Zeppelin, with Thomas Caussé, present to enliven the interview. Invitations to withdraw on site from 9 am on D-Day

But that's not all: in addition to offering direct invitations, Yes FM invites you to participate in the interview with Jimmy Page! Nothing could be simpler: send your question in an email titled LED ZEPPELIN Thomas Caussé to this address . And do not forget to mention your name!
