The ever-elusive Led Zeppelin surfaced in New York in January at the Park Lane Hotel on Central Park South. Jimmy Page was accounted for, his mission being to finish mixing the soundtrack of the long-awaited Led Zep movie. The rest of the boys were just in town for "social reasons", according to Swan Song. Who should know.

Of the four, Robert Plant was by far the most "social," stopping off at bars uptown and downtown, always in the company of English sound engineer Benjie Le Fe vre, and an English'bodyguard named David. Plant still walks with a crhtch, a wincing reminder of last August's car crash on the Greek island of Rhodes. Although the plaster his (now been removed, his usual hurried shuffle has been replaced by a deliberate, careful plod. He doesn't think he'll. be able to dance until the beginning of next soccer season, which is tantamount 'to saying that Led Zeppelin won't be aple to perform live until that time also.
