I was recently told by [someone in touch with Led Zeppelin] that the band performed rare tracks (likely only once in earlier tours) fans have never heard live before as they were never bootlegged (such as "Hey Hey What Can I Do", "Livin Lovin Maid", "Travelling Riverside Blues" [NON-BBC], "Houses Of The Holy", and possibly others). Would JP consider releasing these in some form? (in addition to the rare live "Out on the Tiles", "Friends", "Gallows Pole", "Four Sticks" that are only circulating in bad bootleg quality). (There is also rumoured to have been a Pro Video from the Pontiac Silverdome in 1977, a historic show that broke concert attendance records. I doubt JP would be able to locate this, but if he did it would be the definitive video document from that tour [particularly the last encore]).

Mr Mensch, (Regarding the future Led Zeppelin releases) Would Page finally open up to releasing entire tours of unedited Showco soundboard tapes (from 1971 through 1977)? Even if only as expensive limited editions, lots of collectors like me will still buy them. They would not need mastering work as Rusty Brutsche (the Showco owner and sound engineer) did a fantastic job mixing the sound.

In the unlikely event that LZ performs again, the band should use the opportunity to only perform the songs that were never before done ("Carouselambra", "In The Light", "D'Yer Mak'er") or rarely performed ("When The Levee Breaks", "Wanton Song", etc) rather than the usual stuff. That was the only bad thing about the 2007 reunion (the setlist). I found it odd that no "In Through The Out Door" tracks were included.

That's true, Plant released his 2012 South America tour on LiveDownloads/Nugs in CD+ quality.
