Most people don’t understand what makes Page truly great is his relentless push of the boundaries of music. His music is all about discovery, adventure, taking risk and the moment of enlightenment that comes from that journey. To appreciate Page is certainly an acquired taste, especially for today’s audience. Once you acquire that appreciation, you’d realize that no one is greater than him.
Thats the most pompous retarded shit I've heard. Page is a good musician, great for his time, but there are plenty better than him. That doesn't discredit him at all.
Nonsense. Not an acquired taste at all … a sensationally good guitar player and composer. That’s why Led Zeppelin is one of the most successful bands of all time.
I think Jimmy Page has a unique bend in his mind and his guitar playing... and he always knew what he was doing at any point in his career... and he just kept going down that line... although it did involve creating a certain ambience, it was an ambience he wanted to be in and manifest that, rather than cater to the whims of the audience or chart rankings (which he totally captured)!!
My apologies to those who disagree, but it is my firm opinion that this performance represented the zenith of the rock idiom. At this precise moment in time, captured in this recording, Led Zeppelin was transcending popular music and transforming rock music into the highest form of art. I have long held this particular solo as my personal favorite amongst hundreds of Page’s brilliant solos, but it’s adornment by Jones’ and Bonham’s supremely tasteful accompaniment resulted in a nonpareil composition of sublime perfection.
I totally agree. The Song Remains the Same movie came out when I was in highschool...dozens of us talked about this solo over and over again in the lunchroom. It still sends chills up my spine! I've heard experts say that artists reach their creative peak between the ages of 27-29. Page was 29 and at his peak at this very moment. I've seen him play live, including this track; best concert I've ever been to...and I've seen a lot of bands.
He's always on the verge of going wrong. Almost stumbling into the notes. Like a free climber ascending El Capitan in the dark. But he always somehow finds the next one. Not necessarily the right one, but the perfect one. So he never falls. It's magic.
I heard someone say this once and thought it perfectly encapsulates live Page. “Jimmy always puts himself out there even when the artistic intent outpaces the technical grasp. He just goes for it. The emotion is still present, it’s still magic.” I couldn’t articulate the point better.
I love how Jimmy comes into this solo so gently, and 5 minutes later he has hit every note half a dozen times so meaningfully. His genius is beyond my comprehension.
all the experts & critics & jimmy bashers saying Mr Page was sloppy live etc need to understand Jimmy had a drug problem and probably alcohol too, but when he was focused and not overdoing the drugs/alcohol and knowing this was being filmed/recorded for the movie jimmy was as focused and and great on guitar as this. how he's laid back entering the solo, slowly getting involved with JBJ & Bonzo and then bursting in and creating a solo with both some speed & aggression & passion, ONE OF THE GREATEST. And no one comes close to him in the studio.
Best, most valid comment here I have a hard time choosing over SRV and Page as my favorite/ most respected guitar players of all time. Jimmy is explosive, intense and yet melodic. SRV had so much emotion and energy in his playing too, touch to choose
@@michaelrandy8764 what solidified it for me is that jp is not just a player but a composer, I love SRV with my whole soul and Lenny is beautiful but it doesn’t compare to the elegance or genius of rain song
The melodic, fluid part it what he lost when he aged a little. He became choppy, the gorgeousness was gone. He would occassionally have a great night, but rare. I really think he developed tendinitus or caprel tunnel. He is not the type to ever say it. He retired very early. He couldn't play the same anymore.
Bonzo is the best drummer a guitarist can ever ask for. So dynamic. Mimics the guitar part with fills. No drum machine will ever be able to replicate his style.
Funny how all we hear about is Page and Plant. Bonham definitely has a place as a drum king but John Paul Jones seems to not get the recognition he deserves

It's not a matter of how a guitarist is fast in execution but it's about his ability to "enslave" his extended technical knowledge to his immense deep sensitive feelings and catch you deeply in a long trip far far away in another dimension...this performance is a distilled demonstration of what human beings could do at top...and do not forget JPJ, he's there there with this "muddy-watering" sound...
Jeez, I've been listening to this since the mid 70s and it still gives me chills. There are a lot of great guitarists today, guitarists with great technical expertise with vast libraries of great guitar works to draw influence from. Still, there's something about energy from the pioneers that forged these paths, the emotional vulnerability of putting one's self out on the edge in this way. Led Zeppelin was a moment in time never to be recreated. Jimmy Page took us to places in sound we never knew existed.
I can still vividly remember watching the entire Movie at our local “ Midnight Movies” here in San Diego in late ‘70s -early 80’s and watching the Jimmy Page “ dream sequence “ of him climbing the mountain in the fog only to finally reach the summit & see his transformation from infant in the womb to becoming an old man on top of a mountain. The thing that REALLY hits home now almost 45-50 years later is HOW CLOSE Jimmy looked then in makeup as an old man to who he actually became now . Uncanny foresight into his own future. Led Zeppelin simply were at the Top of their game in those heady days of my youth , and there will NEVER be another band like them ever again . Great times to be alive & be in the moment back then .

Slowly builds up ebbs and flows a musical journey speaks with soul feelings emotions so tastefully played the top of rock guitar music on every level for sure
It's better this way. In the movie his fingers and movements don't always match the audio. That's because he was known to doctor the recordings before releasing them. Watch the solo on Since I've been Loving You or Heartbreaker. You'll see.
@@brianboyle3998 not only that, most of the film footage was unusable, so they had to record extra scenes and bits and rearrange them in the wrong order to fit the whole concert. they also rerecorded a lot in 1976 in a sound stage.
@@brianboyle3998 its not that he was known to doctor it, a lot of the Original footage was somehow lost or stolen. So in some cases they had to do some editing from the different 3 shows to complete a song. I also recently read that they actually regrouped back in London with a "mock " msg stage , lights and all to re- film some of the concert... Couldn't believe it but what I read....

Most of Page solos were played with his Les Paul set using both pickups at the same time with the volume knobs turned down giving a familiar quacking sound I call it. In this solo, he starts with both pickups selection but then switch to the bridge pick up only. He then turns up the volume up and this gives the tone such aggression. Combined with a cranked Marshall amp, you have a glorious tone backed up by a masterful execution by the master himself Jimmy Page.
Hey fellow New Yorker! Do you remember what year you first heard Song Remains the Same? I think I was 11, so 1978. And later that year I first heard Ed Van Halen, and I refused to believe he was playing a guitar. That changed very fast. Jimmy, Ed and Joe Walsh are my biggest influences. What about your fav. guys?
So great to hear this solo in it's entirety. I was always disappointed when the remastered version cut out a lot of the first few minutes. One of, if not the, best Page lead. And has always been my favorite. Such great tone, unbelievable feel, and killer Page lead lines. This is why he inspired a generation of musicians.
The musical emotional build up to this solo never ever gets old. Must have listened to this 200 times with Bose headphones on, truly one of the best live solos ever recorded.
Seen them live in 77, this song made the biggest impression on me, I can still remember Plant walking towards the mic when it began, the stage was covered in dry ice smoke so it looked like he was floating in the mist, and no I was not high. The power in this band live was just hard to believe!
@@bruceadams2755 Awesome! I envy you guys. I was never able to see them live, I was still pretty young when Bonzo died. I remember it very well, all of us Zep heads were freakin out and we left school and smoked herb all day and listened to Zeppelin. 1980 so I was 13 at the time.
When music reaches such a height that one cannot distinguish between art and the Tao in motion, it transcends all genres, time periods, and cultures. This music doesn't sound like it comes from 1973 at all, but like it could be any of the following decades up until now. Very specials stuff.
Listening to this , drum seems an oil and other magnificent instruments seem the powdery paint that I am mixing to create what I need for my canvas. This really happened and now each time I go for surreal I listen to this and I love it .
Thanks for supporting my music 🎶 I’m so grateful 🥰 and I hope you never stop being a fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that’s ok by you.🤍
I love at the end of that phrase with all the masterful bends with vibrato He adds that chord into the mix like a period. It's like he said, yea a chord needs to go here before I move on to the next sentence.
I like how Bonzo mixes his drums dynamically. He once said something to a recording engineer that was basically, "Just set up a couple mics to capture the whole kit inside a space, and leave the rest up to me - I'll mix my kit myself. If I want something louder or softer, that's how I'll play that part of the kit."
This really is the best solo at least I think it is . Who else thinks so ? He's right on with his music although my husband thinks Jimmy Page was a sloppy guitar player . We saw Led Zeppelin in the early years around 1978. Now it's 2024 and he really was brilliant 👏 😀 I like his body of work in all their music 🎶 🎵. I like his style and sound he delivers with every guitar 🎸 🎶 he uses in their music. Their music lives on! Who's listening in 2024?
Arguably (even to myself) Jimmy Page’s finest moment caught on tape. I’ve been listening to this performance for over 35yrs , and it never gets old. His ability to play a jazz based progression while using Blues as the phrasing and expression is brilliant - and it all (most likely) is free flowing improvisation. The guitar tone is second to none.
Maybe Jimmy wasn't the most technically correct guitarist there is, but that is what made him so special. Here is Jimmy Page, doesn't give a fuck about hitting the wrong note or sounding bad, just plays it as he like. Just a man with impeccable guitar skills. A man who can take you to a journey with his instrument and i believe that's all that matters.
Well he doesn't really hit wrong notes though, if he did, this would sound off key and pretty horrible. The thing that makes jimmy so special is he KNEW how to play the correct notes while sounding chaotic, restless and emotional at the same time. This is pure genius This man takes me to different places when he's playing
Undesputably the GREATEST Guitar Solo in the History of Rock & Roll! Thickest & Creamiest Guitar Tone... Bonham’s Drums SIZZLE like nothing else & Jonsey’s Keys are actually indescribable!! Completely Out of this World!!!
This whole band is a masterpiece my Dad blessed us with in the late 70's, 45 years later No Quarter is still at the top of the Guitar solo listBOO!! LOL
Jimmy Page is/was the Michael Jordan of rock music. Not the "absolute" best in any one category but 90% in every category. Lead guitar playing improvised in concert as witnessed here, studio leads like Since I've Been Loving You and Achilles Last Stand, acoustic guitar playing, musical savvy and taste, creativity, musical vocabulary, legendary riffs. He's channeling what he's doing here and with no parlor tricks. The music is just flowing through. I've personally never heard a more cohesive, memorable live improvised solo this long that if a few notes were changed you would notice if immediately. By the way Jimmy and Jeff Beck were mostly influenced by the early rockabilly players of the day as much as anything.
I saw this incredible band in 1977 if my brain is working correctly at Madison Square Garden. Didn’t have the greatest seats and was seated near side stage in the green section. I still can’t believe what a show they put on for the people witnessing an epic performance first hand. All I know is the second they came on stage the entire place stood and never sat down for roughly 3 hours. Another thing that to this day has never happened to me at any concert, and I’ve been to hundreds, the hair on my arms stood all night from the energy in the crowd inside this arena. Simply amazing….something that will never be matched in my life.
Beautiful slow blues and it builds so powerfully to that crescendo just before the break. Love that interplay between Jones and Page with the jazzy keyboard too. Tremendous. Total crime it was cut on the remaster. Unfathomable.
Jimmy , jimmy oh JIMMY what else is there to say unbelievable the master in his prime . All the best of all time think jimmy page was the best and even today every guitar player would give anything to write like jimmy one of a kind no one will ever perform like this little tune .
Zeppelin at their live zenith. Coming off this tour they recorded their greatest album, "Physical Graffiti" over the next months and by 1975 the heroin and excesses had started to kick in and they would never be as good as this. I think the fact this was recorded at the very end of their 1973 tour caught them at their effortless/telepathic best, so incredibly tight and playing as one. Magnificent, let's see Imagine Dragons or some current act pull this shit off.
Oh my good griefy godliness in a guitar sound. This band, this man, these tunes just transcend. Was lucky enough to see them in May '75 at Earls Court. What a memory, what a weekend. Scotland v England at Wembley on the Saturday, Zeppelin on Saturday night and the rock opera film Tommy on the Sunday night at Leicester Square. The seventies were a blast for a teenager like me
What has always has stood out for me, is how he builds up to his crescendos at the end of his incredible solos. I mean who thinks like that, other than maybe Jeff Beck.
Led Zeppelin play jazz fusion! The highlight track of TSRTS. Jimmy Page at his improvisational brilliant best. Worth checking out the version from Los Angeles Forum, 1977, as captured on the classic bootleg For Badgeholders Only.
Being born in the early 80's,once I was exposed to Led Zeppelin,Jimmy Hendrix,The Doors, Lynard Skynard,The Rolling Stones,Eric Clapton and all the other amazing music from before my time I instantly gravitated to it to where I used to record full sides of tapes with the songs I wanted to hear on repeat.Led Zeppelin was & has been my favorite band even when I went through my little Grateful Dead phase through high school and beyond due to Psychedelics & always being the youngest of all my friends and a tag along of my older brother who is 6yrs older than me and raised me like he was my father after ours had passed away.We have had our share of disagreements and all out fights considering I was the 6'5 230lb "little" brother as a 15yr old.But one thing that could stop us dead in our tracks from a fight is if a crazy guitar solo started playing or just a song we both loved came on then the fight didn't seem as important. This music probably saved me from getting the sh*t kicked out of me cuz at 18-21 my brother was a 6'2 225lb wrestling,bench pressing 385lbs and a bodybuilding strength machine that could've broke my neck had he wanted to.We've boxed in our twenties when he got leave from the Army and I had been training the whole time for almost 3yrs at the time and I lit his ass up to his surprise with Freebird playing in the background.He has never tried to son me ever again since he realized I'm a man too,and not just some untrained idiot that's gonna get taken advantage of or punked.Great memories of growing up when men were supposed to be tough. And regardless of our differences,I wouldn't change a thing because my brother who I nicknamed the terminator(cuz he loved Arnold) and was built almost identically to Schwarzenegger made me the man I am today and made sure I was equipped to handle myself when he left for basic training.The one guy that bullied me as a 10yr old & that was 3yrs older got a rude awakening when i hit 13yrs old and my strength caught up to my size.My brother took me to his house after a dispute where I was in a 3 of them on1 situation and made me fight him and it was the best thing that could've happened as a middle schooler going into highschool because after everyone had seen what I had done to this prick, Matt the bully,the next day at school.Not only did nobody ever try to test me again but I ended getting all the girls older than me that the prick used to try to get with.Needless to say I just listened to the extended version of Freebird during my heavy Back & tricep workout just last night so the music has always been apart of so many different aspects of my life.And yes,I know this video is about Zeppelin & J.Page but all the music from that area sends me to a happy place full of vivid memories that I'll always cherish.Sorry for the long rant but just hearing this takes me back in a time machine.Peace and blessings to all that appreciate the best time in music history on my timeline of life....🎸🎤🎶🎵

you can hear a whole story being told in this solo
Bingo!
Yep. The story of heroin addiction.

Slowly builds up ebbs and flows a musical journey speaks with soul feelings emotions so tastefully played the top of rock guitar music on every level for sure
Yes unequivocally Jimmy's greatest ever appearance. Beyond outstanding.
Listen to his subtle attack at 3;28 and after for a few bars. Tonal beauty, phrasing is graceful ......Pagey!
Et cette Wha Wha utiliser au bon moment, Super bien pesée de le jeu, c'est prenant
I wish you can see him play the whole Solo in the song remains the same rather than seeing a movie scene
Agreeed
It's better this way. In the movie his fingers and movements don't always match the audio. That's because he was known to doctor the recordings before releasing them. Watch the solo on Since I've been Loving You or Heartbreaker. You'll see.
@@brianboyle3998 not only that, most of the film footage was unusable, so they had to record extra scenes and bits and rearrange them in the wrong order to fit the whole concert. they also rerecorded a lot in 1976 in a sound stage.
@@brianboyle3998 its not that he was known to doctor it, a lot of the Original footage was somehow lost or stolen. So in some cases they had to do some editing from the different 3 shows to complete a song. I also recently read that they actually regrouped back in London with a "mock " msg stage , lights and all to re- film some of the concert...
Couldn't believe it but what I read....
@@brianboyle3998 this particular solo is completely untouched you can listen to the garden tapes and it's exactly the same as this.
All i can say is thank God for jimmy!!
This is where he steps out from all the rest....

For sure!! 💯
This song 🎵 👌 really brings me back to my youth when I just graduated high school . It's brilliant 👏 😊😊
The greatest solo and band performance in history. Stunning.
The GREATEST Master live solo, to my taste and knoledge
Most of Page solos were played with his Les Paul set using both pickups at the same time with the volume knobs turned down giving a familiar quacking sound I call it. In this solo, he starts with both pickups selection but then switch to the bridge pick up only. He then turns up the volume up and this gives the tone such aggression. Combined with a cranked Marshall amp, you have a glorious tone backed up by a masterful execution by the master himself Jimmy Page.
Wow I never get enough
This has been my absolute favorite solo from him ever since I first heard it. I love how it’s not too loud but still absolutely beautiful and soulful.
Hey fellow New Yorker! Do you remember what year you first heard Song Remains the Same? I think I was 11, so 1978. And later that year I first heard Ed Van Halen, and I refused to believe he was playing a guitar. That changed very fast. Jimmy, Ed and Joe Walsh are my biggest influences. What about your fav. guys?
1 Page
2 Hendrix

@@ezsmith3765 You like that southern style!
A great mix cd is all of Jimmy's best lead parts and there are many!
So great to hear this solo in it's entirety. I was always disappointed when the remastered version cut out a lot of the first few minutes. One of, if not the, best Page lead. And has always been my favorite. Such great tone, unbelievable feel, and killer Page lead lines. This is why he inspired a generation of musicians.
2 generation!
Jimmy was on fire that night.
Page was on fire ever night from 69-73. No one could touch him.
I love the way he plays the first part with a jazzy woody tone and then he switches to that biting treble tone ! So effective 😃
@@OutOnTheTiles he was on another level entirely on the European 1973 tour.
Yep. At the absolute peak of his powers here
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Clearly his most underrated work, all the way through. Iconic!
@Igor Kravitz CLEARLY underrated.
Yeah this is one of his best solos ever for sure
The musical emotional build up to this solo never ever gets old. Must have listened to this 200 times with Bose headphones on, truly one of the best live solos ever recorded.
Agreed
There aren't really any adequate words to describe this incredible piece of music by the world's finest.
Seen them live in 77, this song made the biggest impression on me, I can still remember Plant walking towards the mic when it began, the stage was covered in dry ice smoke so it looked like he was floating in the mist, and no I was not high. The power in this band live was just hard to believe!
saw that as well!
@@bruceadams2755 Awesome! I envy you guys. I was never able to see them live, I was still pretty young when Bonzo died. I remember it very well, all of us Zep heads were freakin out and we left school and smoked herb all day and listened to Zeppelin. 1980 so I was 13 at the time.
Saw them at the LA Forum 1977 …unforgettable
This is my fave guitar solo by anyone.
Mine too!
When music reaches such a height that one cannot distinguish between art and the Tao in motion, it transcends all genres, time periods, and cultures. This music doesn't sound like it comes from 1973 at all, but like it could be any of the following decades up until now. Very specials stuff.
Well said my brother,!
Definitely indistinguishable between art and the Tao in motion.
Listening to this , drum seems an oil and other magnificent instruments seem the powdery paint that I am mixing to create what I need for my canvas. This really happened and now each time I go for surreal I listen to this and I love it .
Who were the nine that didn’t like it !!!! Absolutely brilliant
Thanks for supporting my music 🎶 I’m so grateful 🥰 and I hope you never stop being a fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that’s ok by you.🤍
Blowing mind guitar solo,the best ever Of Jimmy!
Or anyone else
Good Lord,,, listening and listening and everything is going good
3:04 no one ever talks about how genius this part of the solo is
I do
I've caught that. He is doing some major stuff in a dark minor key, country like, which no other rock guitarist could do like him.
Possibly my favorite part
Love how he does the main NQ riff just before then dives back into the part you’re talking about at 3:04
@@bluerfoot That's what I always thought too, further on in the solo he starts to chicken pick.
I love at the end of that phrase with all the masterful bends with vibrato He adds that chord into the mix like a period. It's like he said, yea a chord needs to go here before I move on to the next sentence.
most magnificent and incredible guitar solo ever grace a stage .
jimmy is legendary .
I like how Bonzo mixes his drums dynamically. He once said something to a recording engineer that was basically, "Just set up a couple mics to capture the whole kit inside a space, and leave the rest up to me - I'll mix my kit myself. If I want something louder or softer, that's how I'll play that part of the kit."
Super cool solo.
This solo, first time I heard it was 1976, was absolutely amazingly stupendously stupifyingly i.n.c.r.e.d.i.b.l.e.
Still is!!
If you want to know what it sounds like when entering heaven, this is it.
Lol. This is what it sounds like when you're hooked on smack.
This really is the best solo at least I think it is . Who else thinks so ? He's right on with his music although my husband thinks Jimmy Page was a sloppy guitar player . We saw Led Zeppelin in the early years around 1978. Now it's 2024 and he really was brilliant 👏 😀
I like his body of work in all their music 🎶 🎵. I like his style and sound he delivers with every guitar 🎸 🎶 he uses in their music. Their music lives on! Who's listening in 2024?
My favorite solo of all time and the one I send every person who thinks Page can't play.
He put those shits down ....with this epic ... ... killed them all 😊❤❤
Led Zeppelin introduce me at the Rock and Roll , 46 years ago. The best band!!!!!
Me too 48 years ago
Arguably (even to myself) Jimmy Page’s finest moment caught on tape. I’ve been listening to this performance for over 35yrs , and it never gets old. His ability to play a jazz based progression while using Blues as the phrasing and expression is brilliant - and it all (most likely) is free flowing improvisation. The guitar tone is second to none.
Quite simply the greatest piece of music and guitar solo ever done. Goose bumps every time. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. ❤
Maybe Jimmy wasn't the most technically correct guitarist there is, but that is what made him so special. Here is Jimmy Page, doesn't give a fuck about hitting the wrong note or sounding bad, just plays it as he like. Just a man with impeccable guitar skills. A man who can take you to a journey with his instrument and i believe that's all that matters.
Well he doesn't really hit wrong notes though, if he did, this would sound off key and pretty horrible. The thing that makes jimmy so special is he KNEW how to play the correct notes while sounding chaotic, restless and emotional at the same time. This is pure genius
This man takes me to different places when he's playing
It all stops and starts from Pagey.He is the genius that so many tried and failed to reach his stratosphere
you need virtuosos like these to play at that meandering pace and still keep it together so well.
GREATEST GUITAR OF MODERN TIMES. PURE HEART AND SKILL!
Page is a guitar genius! Not only on the live solos, but also his Production on the Zeppelin studio albums. Timeless, Perfect!!
Undesputably the GREATEST Guitar Solo in the
History of Rock & Roll!
Thickest & Creamiest Guitar Tone... Bonham’s Drums SIZZLE like nothing else & Jonsey’s Keys are actually indescribable!!
Completely Out of this World!!!
This whole band is a masterpiece my Dad blessed us with in the late 70's, 45 years later No Quarter is still at the top of the Guitar solo listBOO!! LOL
Hard to top that!! Love the Page Master.
1 of my favorite Page solos.
Once again after listening to this masterpiece for the umpteenth time I am blown away! Not surprised, just grateful and amazed 🙏
Best solo EVER……gives me goose bumps every time I hear it!
As much as I love jimmy page and this solo... all I hear is Bonhams groove. Greatest of all time. This is my all time favorite performance of zeppelin
Indeed. Great great groove from Bonzo.
When Page and Bonham have this lock on their reception signal.... The eighth wonder of the world!
Jimmy Page is/was the Michael Jordan of rock music. Not the "absolute" best in any one category but 90% in every category. Lead guitar playing improvised in concert as witnessed here, studio leads like Since I've Been Loving You and Achilles Last Stand, acoustic guitar playing, musical savvy and taste, creativity, musical vocabulary, legendary riffs. He's channeling what he's doing here and with no parlor tricks. The music is just flowing through. I've personally never heard a more cohesive, memorable live improvised solo this long that if a few notes were changed you would notice if immediately. By the way Jimmy and Jeff Beck were mostly influenced by the early rockabilly players of the day as much as anything.
My heart aches for this tune every now and then. Thanks. X
This needs to go on for at least 5 minutes longer....EPIC solo.
I could listen to this for hours, possibly days...
I saw this incredible band in 1977 if my brain is working correctly at Madison Square Garden. Didn’t have the greatest seats and was seated near side stage in the green section. I still can’t believe what a show they put on for the people witnessing an epic performance first hand. All I know is the second they came on stage the entire place stood and never sat down for roughly 3 hours. Another thing that to this day has never happened to me at any concert, and I’ve been to hundreds, the hair on my arms stood all night from the energy in the crowd inside this arena. Simply amazing….something that will never be matched in my life.
the most fantastic and amazing guitar solo in all fuckin' music history . Page is the real guitar genius
This is a perfect example of why Page is considered the greatest rock guitarist in history.
no he isnt.. ONE of the best surely..but THE best? nope.. I mean Ill take eddie over jimmy every time.
Absolutely
One of my all-time favorite solos from Jimmy!
Beautiful slow blues and it builds so powerfully to that crescendo just before the break. Love that interplay between Jones and Page with the jazzy keyboard too. Tremendous. Total crime it was cut on the remaster. Unfathomable.
I know unfucking believable that it was cut. Blasphemy!!!
Nothing but inspiration and pure genius
Jimmy , jimmy oh JIMMY what else is there to say unbelievable the master in his prime . All the best of all time think jimmy page was the best and even today every guitar player would give anything to write like jimmy one of a kind no one will ever perform like this little tune .
No words to say. Just freaking beyond genius. I can't go a day without this solo . .brilliant nothing tops this solo nothing!!
This man is a genius and not just fir this piece, but what he resonates through his guitar. Beautiful 👌
Zeppelin at their live zenith. Coming off this tour they recorded their greatest album, "Physical Graffiti" over the next months and by 1975 the heroin and excesses had started to kick in and they would never be as good as this. I think the fact this was recorded at the very end of their 1973 tour caught them at their effortless/telepathic best, so incredibly tight and playing as one. Magnificent, let's see Imagine Dragons or some current act pull this shit off.
Mesmerised I close eyes n open my mind I begin to speak but no words are worthy of my thinking
I’m just left in this state of awe😵💫😲🤯🤗😶🌫️😶😵
Oh my good griefy godliness in a guitar sound. This band, this man, these tunes just transcend. Was lucky enough to see them in May '75 at Earls Court. What a memory, what a weekend. Scotland v England at Wembley on the Saturday, Zeppelin on Saturday night and the rock opera film Tommy on the Sunday night at Leicester Square. The seventies were a blast for a teenager like me
Unquestionably amazing!! 😮
What has always has stood out for me, is how he builds up to his crescendos at the end of his incredible solos. I mean who thinks like that, other than maybe Jeff Beck.
My favorite guitar solo and it ain't even close. Don't sleep on the last part of the song. Jimmy goes off again and it's amazing...again.
This is my favorite live solo by Jimmy Page...
The way Bonzo follows and jams with Page is next level
One of my favorite live solos of all time
Led Zeppelin play jazz fusion! The highlight track of TSRTS. Jimmy Page at his improvisational brilliant best. Worth checking out the version from Los Angeles Forum, 1977, as captured on the classic bootleg For Badgeholders Only.
Being born in the early 80's,once I was exposed to Led Zeppelin,Jimmy Hendrix,The Doors, Lynard Skynard,The Rolling Stones,Eric Clapton and all the other amazing music from before my time I instantly gravitated to it to where I used to record full sides of tapes with the songs I wanted to hear on repeat.Led Zeppelin was & has been my favorite band even when I went through my little Grateful Dead phase through high school and beyond due to Psychedelics & always being the youngest of all my friends and a tag along of my older brother who is 6yrs older than me and raised me like he was my father after ours had passed away.We have had our share of disagreements and all out fights considering I was the 6'5 230lb "little" brother as a 15yr old.But one thing that could stop us dead in our tracks from a fight is if a crazy guitar solo started playing or just a song we both loved came on then the fight didn't seem as important. This music probably saved me from getting the sh*t kicked out of me cuz at 18-21 my brother was a 6'2 225lb wrestling,bench pressing 385lbs and a bodybuilding strength machine that could've broke my neck had he wanted to.We've boxed in our twenties when he got leave from the Army and I had been training the whole time for almost 3yrs at the time and I lit his ass up to his surprise with Freebird playing in the background.He has never tried to son me ever again since he realized I'm a man too,and not just some untrained idiot that's gonna get taken advantage of or punked.Great memories of growing up when men were supposed to be tough. And regardless of our differences,I wouldn't change a thing because my brother who I nicknamed the terminator(cuz he loved Arnold) and was built almost identically to Schwarzenegger made me the man I am today and made sure I was equipped to handle myself when he left for basic training.The one guy that bullied me as a 10yr old & that was 3yrs older got a rude awakening when i hit 13yrs old and my strength caught up to my size.My brother took me to his house after a dispute where I was in a 3 of them on1 situation and made me fight him and it was the best thing that could've happened as a middle schooler going into highschool because after everyone had seen what I had done to this prick, Matt the bully,the next day at school.Not only did nobody ever try to test me again but I ended getting all the girls older than me that the prick used to try to get with.Needless to say I just listened to the extended version of Freebird during my heavy Back & tricep workout just last night so the music has always been apart of so many different aspects of my life.And yes,I know this video is about Zeppelin & J.Page but all the music from that area sends me to a happy place full of vivid memories that I'll always cherish.Sorry for the long rant but just hearing this takes me back in a time machine.Peace and blessings to all that appreciate the best time in music history on my timeline of life....🎸🎤🎶🎵
