Robert Plant's career was at a quiet point by the early 90s. A lot of people did not like his, as Robert put it in an interview: "80's sh*t." Jimmy's stuff in the 80s was not great in my opinion and who ever came up with the concept for the Outrider album cover should have been permanently unemployed. They were out again trying to sell their product, and unlike the 70s that was one success after another, they were middle aged with a sketchy recent history. It must have been frustrating, I remember in an interview Robert was complaining about always having to go "pan in hand" begging for an audience with a new release.
I love the way Jimmy laughs. He just makes it all more funnier.
I've watched this at least 5 times in the past 2-3 days lmao it's too funny

Clearly good chemistry between both
I keep watching this over n over again.. just too funny for me.. seems like they really hope the session to be over soon enough n yet still having fun throughout the interview..robert's eye rolling , jimmy's yawning n their bursting laughter just cracks me up all the time..
Too funny they made the best of such an uncomfortable interview. Watching them just laugh together was too great.
I like the way they printed Mr before their names. Sweet!
thank you - it's great ! [ anybody remember laughter ? ]
I would have liked to have heard what Jimmy and Robert said to each other immediately after leaving the press conference room!
You can tell Jimmy and Robert are just enjoying the hell out of this. LoL More like, they'd rather be doing just about anything else in the WORLD than be at this particular Japanese translated press conference! If not for Roberts upbeat sense of 'humour' this, I'm sure, would have been a complete and total disaster for one and all. ;o)

Roberts Joke @36.04. ‘He’s got relatives in Japan’. And Jimmys laugh.
Jimmy was never comfortable in the interviews. But he feels comfortable in Japan in general. He has a great emotional connection with Japan, I know that.

This is so funny! My second watch. They are trying so hard not to laugh and be respectful. Love them!!
The "lost in translation" here is not just in languages, much more about cultural differences. Japanese are serious (proper) people, humor is discouraged, unappreciated and easily misunderstood especially in a foreign language. Conformity and uniformity are big, creativity or individualism not so much. The young ones do, however, idolize American (western) arts, music in particular. I think Robert and Jimmy behaved as well as could be expected considering the awkward questioning and format.
To be beautiful!!! l love LED Zeppelin!

Robert is more comfortable I think having been the frontman, & a more extrovert. Jimmy & JPJ seemed more introverted, unless comfortable around who they’re with. Jimmy uses his guitar to do his talking, he can make that thing talk & sing.
This is the most goddam entertaining thing I've ever seen! Hahahaha P.S. Love ya Percy and Pagey! Arigato Gozaimasu! 26 years gone, holding on, holding on.

I've seen a few of these press conferences with Plant & Page and they're pretty damn fun to watch. I like the 1994 press conference in Australia, which is pretty funny too. I think Robert Plant answered the question about JP Jones in several ways. What I get from his answers is he and Page are on the same page, no pun intended, musically and JP Jones isn't. If you watch their concerts, Plant defers to Page a lot. I get the feeling these two have a pretty good working relationship as well as a friendship. I think they know not including JP Jones looks bad but it is what it is. Frankly, I'm sick of the JP Jones questions and, I don't think the reporters care that much anyway except to cause controversy. Anyway, if you ask most of us, we can watch these two talk all day.

44:51 Plant looks at the camera, Page turns around to look at screen behind him and then Plant points to a point on the screen. Then Plant clears his throat to signal to Jimmy that he’s done. It’s part of the Pink Floyd enigma where clues were Planted on the Pages of The Division Bell tour guide and CD booklet

Someone arrogant who arranged this actually thought they would get Robert and Jimmy to “conform”. And this is the result.
OMG this reminds me when I was in church the priest had Cockeye's I could not stop laughing so the priest made me sit up front!!!!!! I think this is a laugh riot. Jimmy looks like he is trying to be nice but they both cracked me up.
43:20 hahaha “what a wanker” “it’s JPJ coming on the phone to say have you asked my question yet”
Chris Robinson, the black crowes singer said he didn't like Plant's voice lol
Somebody saw a film? Jimmy seems to be leading the charge, as Robert decides to be obstinate. This is what happens when Gods wake up in the morning.

..alot of those Zeppelin songs, Robert Plant wouldn't be able top or match at this point, not in the same style or without at least changing parts of the songs anyway. It took everything he had to perform them at those heights even when he was in his 20's. It would be ridiculous to try to complete with ones Younger self as Nothing remains the same much less the Song when performed live, one cannot stay at those heights forever any more than one can stay 25 forever, it's an unrealistic goal or expectation.🔥 🌌

This is the worst set-up for an interview with English speaking subjects in a foreign country I have ever seen. Whoever set this up should do one more and then quit the business.

I would have been falling asleep if I was them. Those Japanese people apparantly love to talk more than actually interviewing their subjects. Page and Plant were actually a little entertaining in their ,for the most part, misery.

They boot scooted their asses out of there quick, as soon as it was over, like a race out of chairs & out the door LOL. I’d have loved being a fly hanging close to them, I’d love to know what all they were saying, & in the car when they left.
This is around the time that the shape Jimmy’s mouth seems to have changed. I wonder if he had an unpublicized minor stroke before this?
Emerson, Snake and Charmer? I love ELP. I don't understand that comment.
