Unfortunately, if it's at all a major venue, he probably can't! Why do you 
think he 
was reduced to opening for Lenny Kravitz in 1993! He came to Montreal, always a 
major Zeppelin city, and as I understand it (I wasn't here in those days) 
barely 
managed to sell out the Theatre du Forum, which was a curtained-off subsection 
of 
the old Forum. Jimmy was pretty much the same on the Outrider tour, small 
venues. 
Put Page and Plant together and most people feel it's close enough to Zeppelin 
and 
they go. The Unledded tour was one of the major grossing tours of '95.
