On this date in 1994, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant reunite for a MTV concert

After Led Zeppelin parted ways in 1980, Plant and Page formed the Honeydrippers along with a number of studio musicians and friends, releasing their only album in 1984. Following this, the members of Zeppelin would reunite for a 1985 Live Aid concert  in Philadelphia and a 1988 Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert with mixed results.

In 1994, Plant and Page were contacted to perform a concert for MTV’s “Unplugged” series, a popular set of concerts where performers played acoustic versions of their well-known songs. The pair met at LTV Studios in London, where they set about recording the 90 minute performance, later titled “UnLedded”. 

This performance led to Plant and Page recording an album based on the premise, with “No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded” releasing in October and featuring numerous reworked Led Zeppelin songs. This was followed by a world tour, giving a new generation of fans a chance to see their heroes.
