14. Re: Plant - I read somewhere that Page remarked they could not compete
with their earlier selves. Their later albums were not getting the sales their earlier work continues to enjoy. They were competing against their youthful selves and losing.

Most bands who make it to the "reunion tour" stage do so to renew the copywrite on their material so they can continue to get royalties on it and keep it out of public domain.

I love some of those geezer bands, but I hate seeing them perform - reminds me that I was young when they were new.

I am just amazed that AC/DC and ZZ Top are still alive, much less still performing...
