funkbeard We need more Halfway to the Moons.

Since Page mastered that tune in Sept. 2011 at Dick's, I hope they play it at every tour stop. Page, play your fucking songs! You are a great writer/composer. I really feel the material you bring, and it saddens me that you give more attention to your covers than to your brilliant originals. Damn fine songs, man. And that Half the Way to the Moon.... You turned that baby into a masterpiece, and then didn't play it in 2012!!!! One the 200+ song tour where Shaggy Dog was played and Halfway to the Moon was ignored.... fuck man. Page, it's ok to play your songs. Not every performance has to be perfect and special. But you write good music, and I'd be stoked if you played 2 in a row some nights, as Mike has been stepping up to offer.

Humility is not an act of ignoring your work, as it might be polite to let someone else sing, or send the royalty check over to Elton John or some other schmoozeball. Humility is allowing yourself to be humiliated a little to offer up the best of what you got. And Page, you write damn great songs! Let's hear them every night! Just do it. We love you, man. 30 years, we've been following. You're a virtuoso now, and your songs are meaningful and great. Let em sing!
