That's ridiculous. I saw Page in his prime on the "Stairway to Heaven" tour: He was nothing. The best I can say for Page is that he's better than Steve Miller, which is saying very little. Page could never hold a candle to Jan Ackerman, Danny Kortchmar (of The Section), Jeff Beck, Clapton, Santana, or Hendrix. Even Martin Barre wipes him out. (Write "definitely" fifty times on the chalk board before you leave.)
