No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded (also simply known as No Quarter or Unledded) is a 1994 concert film release of the Jimmy Page and Robert Plant MTV Unledded acoustic series performance of the same name. It was released by Warner Music Vision on 14 October 1994. OverviewMTV Unplugged concert series offered the opportunity of returning to the lands that had inspired some of Led Zeppelin's most creative work ('Kashmir', most of Led Zeppelin III). The televised edition was one of MTV's most highest rating programmes, directed by Aubrey Powell. The core of the footage is the concert in London with the city's Metropolitan Orchestra accompanying Page, Plant, and their chosen backing band providing the foundation for the production: Ed Shearmur on keyboards, Charlie Jones on bass and percussion, and Michael Lee on drums and percussion. Anglo-Indian jazz singer Najma Akhtar stands in for Sandy Denny (Fairport Convention) on 'The Battle of Evermore'. The live performance is intercut with tracks filmed in the Welsh Snowdonian countryside around Bron-Yr-Aur, Dolgoch, and on the streets of Marrakesh in Morocco. The set list is a combination of well known Led Zeppelin tunes and new songs written for the occasion. Although the classic tracks far outshine the new material, the experience of working together again was inspiring enough to the duo to spawn a world tour and another studio collaboration. Several years later, Plant reflected on the collaboration very positively:
The tenth anniversary of the recording of the Unledded concerts was commemorated by a 2004 DVD release of all the songs plus a bonus interview, a montage of images from Morocco, the band's performance of 'Black Dog' for Dick Clark's American Music Awards and the music video for 'Most High' from the Walking into Clarksdale album. In addition to acoustic numbers, the album features a reworking of Led Zeppelin classics, along with four Middle-Eastern and Moroccan-influenced songs: 'City Don't Cry', 'Yallah' (or 'The Truth Explodes'), 'Wonderful One', and 'Wah Wah'.
