1998 21 February On This Day Page & Plant in Croatia

  • 1993 Jimmy Page - New Orleans, Louisiana at The Howlin' Wolf
  • 1998 Page & Plant - Zagreb, Croatia at Dom Sportova 

1993:
Jimmy Page has said he doesn't remember jamming with Mason Ruffner (American blues and rock singer, guitarist and songwriter) in New Orleans, but various people place him there on this day. Jimmy Page had jammed with him in 1985 as well. In the photo from that occasion, Ruffner was playing Jimmy's Les Paul and Jimmy Page was playing Ruffner's Strat. One source identifies the photo as having been taken by Patricia Ecker.  Ecker and Page married in 1986 and had a son, James Patrick Page III, in 1988. Patricia Ann Ecker Page died on October 30, 2020.

1998:
This was the first stop of the nine shows of the Page & Plant Mystic East Tour, including an appearance at the Festival di Sanremo in San Remo, Italy.

Photos are not from this day in 1983, just posted here today so there'd be cool pics to look at.

1983

On this day in On this day in 1975, JP went to Dominica between Led Zeppelin tours to meet up with beat poet Royston Ellis. JP recalls:
"He was residing and writing in a building catering as a cricket pavilion, rum bar and living quarters in Mero outside the capital Roseau.
Dominica's rum could be had straight up, with juices or with herb infusions. One of these brews was called Nani, another was called l'absinthe, with wormwood. I guess this was a follow through from the old French colonial rule and the penchant for absinthe. I have fond memories of the local 'joy juice'."
