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 Page, a.k.a. Patricia Ecker. Ecker and Page married in 1986 and had a son, James Patrick Page III, in 1988.

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.
