The _Commercial Appeal_ ran a review of by Larry Nager on November 12, 1994. Jimmy Page & Robert Plant Atlantic Three 1/2 stars Having refueled the careers of Eric Clapton and Rod Stewart, MTV's Unplugged continues to bring back veteran rockers with this month's releases of Page & Plant's ''No Quarter'' and the Eagles' ''Hell Freezes Over,'' both of which first appeared on the music video channel. And if the Eagles' show revealed how good the reunion band sounds, ''No Quarter'' goes that one better, expanding Led Zeppelin's blues, folk and world music leanings into a completely contemporary sound. If any rocker of 25 years ago seemed an unlikely candidate for aging gracefully it was the blond, barechested banshee fronting Led Zeppelin. But Plant, against all odds, not only still sounds great singing the old stuff, his music has improved with age. ''No Quarter'' features obscure Led Zep gems, such as the band's remakes of Blind Willie Johnson's holy blues Nobody's Fault But Mine or the British folk song Gallows Pole along with the originals Since I've Been Loving You (featuring some of Page's most lyrical blues guitar on disc), Kashmir and The Battle of Evermore. The latter is an especially effective performance, graced by the hauntingly beautiful voice of Najma Akhtar in place of the late Sandy Denny. They crank it up a bit for Thank You and the title track. But with a band augmented by Egyptian and Moroccan musicians as well as the London Metropolitan Orchestra, the disc's overall mood may be a bit too laidback for the metal crowd. Still, it was always the quirks that made Led Zeppelin the great band it was, and those quirks are well in evidence on ''No Quarter,'' a welcome addition to the Led Zep legacy. Best of all, the word is that Page and Plant will tour in 1995, with a Pyramid date likely.
