No Quarter

|
No Quarter is a live album by Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant, released by Atlantic Records on October 14, 1994. The long awaited reunion between Page and Plant occurred on a 90 minute "UnLedded" MTV project, recorded in Morocco, Wales, and London, which rated highly on network television. It was not a reunion of Led Zeppelin, however, as former bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones was not present. Jones later commented that he was unhappy with Plant and Page naming the album, since the namesake was a Led Zeppelin song that was largely his work.
In addition to acoustic numbers there is a heavy World music reworking of Led Zeppelin classics along with four Middle Eastern influenced songs: "City Don't Cry," "Yallah," "Wonderful One," and "Wah Wah".
The album was #4 on debut on the Billboard's Pop Albums chart.
