Wither Jimmy Page?

In listening to the Old Zep classics I can't help but wonder why this guy's talent (which is immense) never accompanied him in his later years (look at Jeff Beck or Jorma Kaukonen for examples). Is it me or does it seem like he just dropped off a cliff? I know he's still making music but does any of his more recent stuff shine like his early stuff?

the pact with the devil ran out in 1976 ;-)

seriously, page used to have three or four classic riffs in every zep song

by the firm, cloverdale, etc - there wasn't any magic
believe me, he was trying

his live playing with P/P was inspired
he really needs a good muse

he has faded when others kept on producing
