I remember Roger Daltrey, I think it was, saying in an interview with Howard Stern that he pridefully considered his voice to be his instrument, and that was his musical contribution to The Who.

I think that Robert Plant understands that his instrument isn't what it used to be and would rather not have it affect the band's legacy. I know he performs some of them solo, but as long as he's doing that without Jimmy and John Paul, it doesn't affect the legacy.

Plant has said as much about his voice which is why he started doing projects like the one he did with Alison Krause and Union Station a few years back.

But the concert was a treat. Those guys were so far ahead of everybody else in the rock world that other rock bands are still trying to catch up. Jones really knew how to engineer an album and arrange music...he was the overall genius... Page was...well, Page, still great and Plant although not as wide in his range still could deliver....Can still pull it off .

I recall that interview...Daltrey is friends with Plant and frankly he confirmed that Plant doesn't think he could deliver night after night on a massive reunion Zepplin tour. Plant doens't think he has what it takes anymore to deliver the goods and wouldn't be living up to expectations.

Led Zepplin was before my time, but did see the Page & Plant reunion tour in the 90's and it was amazing.
