I speak as I musician. Back in those days this was like God´s playing guitar, not only for his ability but the whole emotion on each note. Today I get easily bored by perfect solos without phrasing and dynamics like this. Blessed Jimmy Page forever.
Why do people always equate sloppy blues playing = emotion, but if someone else perfects technique, and or plays fast it equates to no emotion? Its quite annoying. I enjoy guys like Eric Johnson or Guthrie Govan. They play clean and fast but also have phrasing and dynamics like you said.
WalkingBlues Im 26. I don't not view sloppiness the same way you do, probably because I'm also a classical musician. Had Jimmy not been on drugs and or alcohol, it would have not been sloppy. Look at guys like Gary Moore, Steve Morse, Eddie Van Halen. All great rockers too, and they aren't sloppy. But like I said, I do enjoy Jimmy Page too. But he's just not a clean player.
I didnt see them in their prime, but at what turned out to be their last show at madison square garden, 1977. even then it was FUCKING BERSERK. all that stuff's so long gone - ppl today dont know what concerts were really like. & no fones!!!! only joints.
Saw them at CAp Center. 5 th night of a sold out 5 night stand. My second concert. Amazing! I scored the tix for $ 9 from a kid @ school. My big bro said, little bro if you get these I’ll take you. Gave me a &20. Couldn’t drive yet, so it was , needless to say, absolutely Amazing. Still @ 3 hrs 45 min one of the longest shows I’ve ever seen . Page played his guts out! AMAZING
There is? Do you supposed the concert promoters pay him to show up everywhere? Or is there some company with a bunch of them that hires them out? And how is the "250 pound guy" different from everybody else in the crowd yelling "YEAH"? Is this a "fat shaming" thing? "Obesity" is BAD, right? WRONG even. Right? Want to see a whole bunch of "morbidly obese" people who are in better physical shape than you'll probably ever be based on what they do for a living and how demanding physically it is? NFL linemen, linebackers, tight ends and even some quarterbacks.
DEEREMEYER1 No fucking shit NFL linemen are over 250 lbs. Many highschool linemen break that barrier aswell. You probably think you're real fucking clever for using sports facts on a video like this, as if nobody knew because the target demographic that would typically reside here would be clueless when it comes to sports. And come on, look at how old that comment is. It's honestly quite sad to see somebody commenting like that. Also no, it's not "fat shaming" just because somebody made a joke about it. Honestly, if that was the stipulation, you'd be shaming yourself right now, which you definitely are. So...I guess...you're right? I'll concede, if it means my argument was also correct. TL;DR, I think you're overthinking this a bit.
Was lucky enough to have a hippie dad who loved zeppelin, I got to see them live 5 times in my life starting when I was 7 in 1971, always at the LA Forum. My ears are still ringing lol
@Mike Limas He was amazing in the studio, I love him in the studio, he’s fine live when he’s not high or drunk, then his style completely falls off the rails
This is what zeppelin is about to me. Living in the present. If you don't start dancing now, you won't have time to catch the groove! And why wouldn't you be dancing? The music is so invigorating. Dripping sweat, Page doesn't have time to dwell on a missed note or an open string, just like you shouldn't worry about your life mistakes, as they are in the past. Keep dancing!
I am happy that I was born in this generation. I can listen to Led Zeppelin anytime and watch footage for free. It's all there and that's what I appreciate. Yeah, it sucks that I will never see this band live. But, I can always see them in their prime here
I was born and raised on rap and r&b and even I can appreciate the talent of Mr Jimmy Page. It amazes me how he did what he did. I swear I got goosebumps

For all the haters out there: What you are watching is a musician playing to the limit. Improvising, on the spot and it was much more prevalent in music back in the day. But nobody except Hendrix did it to this extent. Had Jimmy died early he'd have the same acclaim and had Hendrix lived he'd earn the same hate. But nobody else dare, then or now to stretch themselves in this way. Not a single musician today would dare put themselves out there like that. Even the great Clapton sticks to a script. And everyone who plays guitar hangs their head low in Jimmy's presence because they know, they don't have his balls. If you listen to music purely for entertainment, you probably hate this. But if music is an emotional experience, you love it! Or you need to let yourself relax and give in to the ride. Smoke a blunt and lay back and enjoy! Remember, Jimmy had a job "counting crows on the telegraph wire", he quit it when he was the best in England. If you think this is anything but On The Spot Expression In Music, why watch or listen or comment? You clearly do not get it. I don't like Miles Davis, but that doesn't mean I don't respect him. He's just not my cup of tea. So why would I want to visit RUclips Videos of Miles just to bash him?
He's a great player but wouldn't put him in top 5 or probably even top 10 of all time guitarists like he is often credited as being. I guess there's just been so many amazing guitarists that it's hard to say. The more music ive discovered the more guitarists like Clapton and Jimmy have fell down on my list. Guitarists like Rory Gallagher, Roy Buchanan, Johnny Winter, SRV, Buckethead, Frank Zappa would probably be my top 5 right now in no particular order except for Rory. Not only is he my favorite guitarist but probably also favorite musician in general. I think him and Jimmy has similar style of guitar playing. Not only was Rory the best electric guitarist, but was proficient at acoustic, mandolin ,ukele, harmonica, saxophone,etc. He had folk song like Bob Dylan and then the next moment could tear the house down with Hendrix vibes. He even played one of his best Guitar solos along with a stellar sax solo in the same song; Can't Believe it's True... not to mention he was a great songwriter and the most humble artist in the industry. Not trying to take anything from Jimmy and his phenomenal playing, just trying to shine some light on other amazing artists that were never in the limelight
@@theherbpuffer I kinda feel the same way as you. All these classic rock icons kinda fell down on my list the more I learned about guitar players. My current top 3 are 3- Guthrie Govan 2- Shawn Lane 1- Buckethead
The sound he gets out of that Les Paul is just unbelievable. I don’t know if it’s reworded or what but it’s just so unique. And his playing is insane. Always was.
Last year i was walking by The Tower House in London, when Jimmy Page came out. I was like ...oh MY GOD JIMMY PAGE!!!! he's the God of rock. I couldn't even say "goodmorning"
@@PhDrSeuss I had tickets to see them in 1977 at LA Forum. Then Robert's son accidentally died and your was cancelled. They came back the following year in '78 then got to see them. Besides seeing the Who live the Zeppelin show was a close second. They rocked!
What a lame excuse. You don’t have to be sloppy and imperfect to have soul. A lot of players are perfectly accurate and technical and they still have soul
Firstname Lastname Not very much, but I do consider them some of the best guitarists of all time, and MILES better than Jimmy Page. The playing in this video doesn’t even have much soul.
Firstname Lastname Ever heard of Guthrie Govan?? Miles better than Jimmy Page in everything, including melody, skill AND soul. Ever heard of Buckethead? Same thing.
I am 66 years old. I was fortunate to be able to see Zep in 1972, the first U.S. tour in Tampa, at the stadium. People camped for three days to be in line to get tickets. It was great. Dale Mabry was lined up with cars on both sides of the road. There were OD stations on both sides of the stadium. There were only 20 arrest. It was great! Now I listen to them daily. BABY I'M GONNA LEAVE, is my favorite. ✌

Kills me how most people never understand how good Frank Zappa was. Go back, watch and listen. We have the technology. But best in my humble opinion (besides Jimi) was without a doubt was Johnny Winter. Didn't have all the hits, but he was the shit. Just one time, go back in time and watch Johnny, brother Edgar and Rick Deringer play Frankenstein. Mind Blowing. If you like music and guitar work you will never regret it. Johnny, so underappreciate d
stop bashing jimmy! why everyone wants to talk shit about him? this is not his best!jimmy and whole zeppelin as band were at their peak in 1972-3. they got tired after touring too much and plant lost his voice. this was at the end of the 3 hours and 30 minute show !fans wanted one more song so they decided to play this and plant mentioned before the performance they never played this before live! respect jimmy
I don't agree at all. Knebworth's rendition of Achilles Last Stand and Whole Lotta Love would be examples as to why. I don't think you need to make excuses for him either. He played with his heart every performance. Pushed himself to the point of no return. No other artist living can make that same boast. Now, in his later days Jimmy is much less inclined to do so. Watch his Page & Plant performances and they are what many think a performance should be, mostly repetition of the Studio Album Version. Nothing wrong with that, but nothing wrong with Improving either. The only part of his career that tarnishes his legacy, and lends credence to the negative impressions of the early work, is 77/78. And not making excuses but he was a Junkie. Straight up Junkie that left him a fidgety shell throughout the early 80's. As well it should be what tarnishes his legacy because that's what Junk does to you. He cleaned up in 79 for Knebworth, but after John Bonham died, it's a miracle he lived with all the Junk he poured into his veins. And even as a Junkie, he was still better than many others, he'd just go off into what he called Avant Garde, but that's code for a Junkie's Tangent.
@@joonffs7800 Thanks. I recently came across this video and it kind of makes me a liar. The first Page and Plant tour they did New Orleans and with improving all over it as well as a bit of a different set list. A great watch if you have the time. ruclips.net/video/bwtRnEchl88/видео.html
Omg, my baby is just the best! After almost fifty years he still sends chills up and dwn my spine and touches my soul. U r all heart,feeling,emotion,and soul when u play Jimmy!! I feel it in my own soul. What I wouldn't give to have just 5 minutes to sit,Hav sum tea and chat. Is that asking too much? Probably,but I wld give my life for those few minutes w you!
@@eog5217 there are no wrong notes in a real guitar solo. If you can you Just Use every fret on your guitar, without thinking about scales. If it Sounds good it is good.
Happy 76th bday Master Jimmy Page. 9th Jan 2020. You shaped many peoples life with your guitar playing and songs. Thank you for being the soundtrack of our lives.
People always want to judge a guitar player on "Is it hard to play?" I don't agree with that mentality. Maybe it plays a small part, but more importantly is that did they create? Did they create something that sounds great and has some complexity to it. Just because you are great at copying someone else's music doesn't make you great. Sure any mid-level guitar player can play Jimmy Page, but they didn't CREATE it, which is what makes a great musician.
+Tony Gambino I dont completely agree with you. Its just that the definition of hard and good is wrong in most peoples minds. Good does not mean fast or with difficult techniques. It is a lot of timing, its a lot about the overall concept. If it sounds nice it's good. Music is all about personal preference. Thats why there is no such thing as the best Band/guitarist/musician ever. And you can play two notes a minute and it can be hard. You have to nail a vibrato to make it sound awesome. And while a lot of intermediate players may can learn play Pages stuff, to sound as good while doing so it a different matter. Sure I can learn The Black Dog licks and play them. But I wont sound nearly as good as Page.
+Illuminator. Finally some sense from someone that sounds like they actually play. Yeah, with a full band behind me I can sound similar to page though. get me to do those tricky chords where he takes one note 1/4 tone up to give a chorus feel, and I'd need alot of practice. Also, with an undeveloped ear, you need a tuner to let you know when you hit the correct pitch. All takes time. But hey, I can play something similar to starway to heaven, that I'd be embarrassed to play on stage, but hey, zeppelins music is easy and page isn't that good. Right.
Fred Smith I like some Led Zeppelin Stuff and some I dont. Sometimes I think he's a virtuous player, sometimes I listen to something and his timing is sloppy at best and he sounds like a rookie. I really dont know what to think of him overall. Maybe thats beacause Zeppelin did so many styles, maybe it's just Page. He really is the only player I dont really have a final opinion on. Gilmour is really really good with blues solos, with phrasing, vibratos, bending and putting feeling in solos, while Moore for example also like to nearly shred sometimes and Slash really knows ho to use that distortion and they are all great in their domain, but thei also stay in their domain. Page has done pretty much anything at one point and some of his stuff is really good and some is close to amateurish. And yeah I play since first grade and started studying a year ago.

@@jimmypatterson7987 okay this is a comment section, drop me a mail or message me on Google hangouts at jimmypage957@gmail.com and make sure you let me know I shared you this myself.
Jimmy page , Hendrix , Brian May, Robert Johnson and Eddie van Haley are my favorite of all time. Jimmy page was the God of guitar. He's feeling what he's playing and it's incredible. He may be the most versatile guitarist ever. Hats off to jimmy page
i hope you are not one of these people who say robert johnson just because its cool to say robert johnson....i have to think you are really lame if you dont know eddies last name-plus van haien and brian mays name should not even be mentioned with rj and jp
I loved Jimmy so much in the 70's. In my dorm room in C.U. Boulder Colorado I had a number of Led Zep posters, but also smaller pictures of Jimmy and other members of the band. I used to cut them out of magazines like Creem and Rolling Stone. Some of them were the size of stamps. I would put them up and ask my roommate if he could find the new Jimmy Page pic. He usually found them. When we moved out at the end of the year I discovered that I had 129 pictures of Jimmy Page on our walls.
I'm 56 and grew up hearing the mighty Led Zeppelin, but I never got to see them perform together. They became my favorite band while I was in highschool. I still feel fortunate to have seen Page perform with Power Station, and I saw Plant during one of his solo tours.
I've been playing for a decade and Jimmy Page was my first guitar hero. Through the years, I've listened to a lot of great players with great technique and creativity: Jeff Beck, Guthrie Govan, Greg Howe, Yngwie Malmsteen, Marty Friedman, Nuno Bettencourt, Steve Morse, and now it's more difficult to feel amazed by someone's playing, you can easily listen to a pentatonic run and imagine how it's played, but in this video Jimmy plays some licks that are very interesting and his playing never turns boring. His phrasing is very tasteful and I think that has a lot to do with his influence of country music because his note choice is very different from other rock guitar players from that era. You know a player is good when he still impresses you after having listened to several other guitarists from other genres.
The world was in a much better place back then i miss them days, now its hell, wish i had a time machine cuz id just go back to the early 70's and take that ride again

2 x live here... in Pittsburgh of all places. First time in Three Rivers Stadium is still the best concert I've ever seen. This dude was not the best guitar player I've ever watched... But he was by far the most fun! Once they finally came on... He controlled the stage all night. What a player & damn what a show! My first big English rock band concert... And I will never forget it! Thanks Jimmy.
I love watching Jimmy Page play..... I also have the Rockdoc dvd “It Might Get Loud” of Jimmy Page, Jack White and the Edge play guitar together which was epic. Jimmy Page is so humble and really laid back. So cool!

Happy Birthday Jimmy! I adore him sooooo much!💗💋🥰💕❤️ He's one of the best guitar in the whole music history. He's an absolute God of guitar. He's solos are just inimitable, magnificent and unsurpassed. All of them are played tastefully and professionally. And his guitar improvisations are beyond words, just astonishing. I cannot say how fascinated I am listening and looking at him. Legend.🔥🌹😍💕❤️💞💞😍💋💗🥰💕
If I tune myself to the 70ies I've lived, this is immense. While with my current ears of a grown guitarist this is almost unhearable cacophony. To appreciate Led Zep you must immerge in a certain mood and atmosphere, listening to an entire album, or different albums for days. It's not music to hear casually from the radio or the hi-fi, apart Immigrant Song.
Jimmy Page and Jack White have I think made the most out of their limited technique. I could listen to Jimmy play all day long. Love it. My favorite guitar player. The riffs and the song writing Set the stage for thousands of guitar players that followed in his footsteps.
I think its really funny when people criticize Jimmy Page because even if what he is doing isn't very hard or complex and other people might be able to play it it doesn't make them better than him or just as good you may be able to play it but i would love to see these people try to create or make anything even close to how brilliant and Awesome what he created is its ridiculous to think that just because something isn't wicked hard it cant be brilliant. He is still one of the best guitar players to ever live and just because a bunch of people who are just looking to start stuff and hate on him say hes not good doesn't change the fact that he is one of the greatest.
Exactly... A lot people don't understand that it's not about technical ability, but the creation. People will never reach the musical level of a jimmy page.

J.S. Bach's Bourrée in E Minor for Guitar
Last year i was walking by The Tower House in London, when Jimmy Page came out. I was like ...oh MY GOD JIMMY PAGE!!!! he's the God of rock. I couldn't even say "goodmorning"
I saw them in 197 in L.A. Seeing them live was an incredible experience.The energy in the building was explosive. I'll never forget.
🤔What year did you see them in LA? You stated that you saw them in 197🤔
@@PhDrSeuss I had tickets to see them in 1977 at LA Forum. Then Robert's son accidentally died and your was cancelled. They came back the following year in '78 then got to see them. Besides seeing the Who live the Zeppelin show was a close second. They rocked!
@2:42 So Jimmy Page wrote the riff to Under Pressure haha
If anything, Jimmy is sounding a lot like Ogre Battle by Queen in some parts of this solo
I'll take heartfelt imperfections over soulless machinery any day...
Brian Conway very well put!👍 couldn’t of said it better myself
What a lame excuse. You don’t have to be sloppy and imperfect to have soul. A lot of players are perfectly accurate and technical and they still have soul
Arian Serrano Bet you live Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, lmao
Firstname Lastname Not very much, but I do consider them some of the best guitarists of all time, and MILES better than Jimmy Page. The playing in this video doesn’t even have much soul.

I am 66 years old. I was fortunate to be able to see Zep in 1972, the first U.S. tour in Tampa, at the stadium. People camped for three days to be in line to get tickets. It was great. Dale Mabry was lined up with cars on both sides of the road. There were OD stations on both sides of the stadium. There were only 20 arrest. It was great! Now I listen to them daily. BABY I'M GONNA LEAVE, is my favorite. ✌

My favourite guitarist of all time. i know most would say hendrix but i prefer him.
Steve Vai----------Really?
C'mon.
Kills me how most people never understand how good Frank Zappa was. Go back, watch and listen. We have the technology. But best in my humble opinion (besides Jimi) was without a doubt was Johnny Winter. Didn't have all the hits, but he was the shit. Just one time, go back in time and watch Johnny, brother Edgar and Rick Deringer play Frankenstein. Mind Blowing. If you like music and guitar work you will never regret it. Johnny, so underappreciate d
Nuno could do that. 😊

stop bashing jimmy! why everyone wants to talk shit about him? this is not his best!jimmy and whole zeppelin as band were at their peak in 1972-3. they got tired after touring too much and plant lost his voice. this was at the end of the 3 hours and 30 minute show !fans wanted one more song so they decided to play this and plant mentioned before the performance they never played this before live! respect jimmy
I don't agree at all. Knebworth's rendition of Achilles Last Stand and Whole Lotta Love would be examples as to why. I don't think you need to make excuses for him either. He played with his heart every performance. Pushed himself to the point of no return. No other artist living can make that same boast. Now, in his later days Jimmy is much less inclined to do so. Watch his Page & Plant performances and they are what many think a performance should be, mostly repetition of the Studio Album Version. Nothing wrong with that, but nothing wrong with Improving either.
The only part of his career that tarnishes his legacy, and lends credence to the negative impressions of the early work, is 77/78. And not making excuses but he was a Junkie. Straight up Junkie that left him a fidgety shell throughout the early 80's. As well it should be what tarnishes his legacy because that's what Junk does to you. He cleaned up in 79 for Knebworth, but after John Bonham died, it's a miracle he lived with all the Junk he poured into his veins. And even as a Junkie, he was still better than many others, he'd just go off into what he called Avant Garde, but that's code for a Junkie's Tangent.
nailed it. i think we all wish he had stayed clear of H.

The thing that makes Page so good is that he doesn't think...
He plays
And being wasted as fuck at the same time
Exactly! He’s having lot’s of fun doing so too !
... Wrong notes
@@eog5217 there are no wrong notes in a real guitar solo. If you can you Just Use every fret on your guitar, without thinking about scales. If it Sounds good it is good.
Unfortunately he ends up playing stuff like this. Maybe he should think a bit more

Happy 76th bday Master Jimmy Page. 9th Jan 2020.
You shaped many peoples life with your guitar playing and songs. Thank you for being the soundtrack of our lives.
Happy 77th ,Jimmy! A true guitar god! A man, a musician, a mystic!!!! He is our overlord!!!!!!
People always want to judge a guitar player on "Is it hard to play?" I don't agree with that mentality. Maybe it plays a small part, but more importantly is that did they create? Did they create something that sounds great and has some complexity to it. Just because you are great at copying someone else's music doesn't make you great. Sure any mid-level guitar player can play Jimmy Page, but they didn't CREATE it, which is what makes a great musician.
+Tony Gambino Being able to create something good makes you a good composer. Being able to play something difficult makes you a good guitar player.
+Tony Gambino I dont completely agree with you. Its just that the definition of hard and good is wrong in most peoples minds.
Good does not mean fast or with difficult techniques. It is a lot of timing, its a lot about the overall concept. If it sounds nice it's good. Music is all about personal preference. Thats why there is no such thing as the best Band/guitarist/musician ever.
And you can play two notes a minute and it can be hard. You have to nail a vibrato to make it sound awesome.
And while a lot of intermediate players may can learn play Pages stuff, to sound as good while doing so it a different matter. Sure I can learn The Black Dog licks and play them. But I wont sound nearly as good as Page.
+Illuminator. Finally some sense from someone that sounds like they actually play. Yeah, with a full band behind me I can sound similar to page though. get me to do those tricky chords where he takes one note 1/4 tone up to give a chorus feel, and I'd need alot of practice. Also, with an undeveloped ear, you need a tuner to let you know when you hit the correct pitch. All takes time. But hey, I can play something similar to starway to heaven, that I'd be embarrassed to play on stage, but hey, zeppelins music is easy and page isn't that good. Right.
Fred Smith I like some Led Zeppelin Stuff and some I dont. Sometimes I think he's a virtuous player, sometimes I listen to something and his timing is sloppy at best and he sounds like a rookie.
I really dont know what to think of him overall. Maybe thats beacause Zeppelin did so many styles, maybe it's just Page.
He really is the only player I dont really have a final opinion on. Gilmour is really really good with blues solos, with phrasing, vibratos, bending and putting feeling in solos, while Moore for example also like to nearly shred sometimes and Slash really knows ho to use that distortion and they are all great in their domain, but thei also stay in their domain.
Page has done pretty much anything at one point and some of his stuff is really good and some is close to amateurish.
And yeah I play since first grade and started studying a year ago.
+Tony Gambino Well said!
Heartbreaker live was the solo that inspired Van Halen’s tapping technique

Jimmy in the middle of Heartbreaker: Plays Bach
I loved Jimmy so much in the 70's. In my dorm room in C.U. Boulder Colorado I had a number of Led Zep posters, but also smaller pictures of Jimmy and other members of the band. I used to cut them out of magazines like Creem and Rolling Stone. Some of them were the size of stamps. I would put them up and ask my roommate if he could find the new Jimmy Page pic. He usually found them. When we moved out at the end of the year I discovered that I had 129 pictures of Jimmy Page on our walls.
I'm 56 and grew up hearing the mighty Led Zeppelin, but I never got to see them perform together. They became my favorite band while I was in highschool. I still feel fortunate to have seen Page perform with Power Station, and I saw Plant during one of his solo tours.
I've been playing for a decade and Jimmy Page was my first guitar hero. Through the years, I've listened to a lot of great players with great technique and creativity: Jeff Beck, Guthrie Govan, Greg Howe, Yngwie Malmsteen, Marty Friedman, Nuno Bettencourt, Steve Morse, and now it's more difficult to feel amazed by someone's playing, you can easily listen to a pentatonic run and imagine how it's played, but in this video Jimmy plays some licks that are very interesting and his playing never turns boring. His phrasing is very tasteful and I think that has a lot to do with his influence of country music because his note choice is very different from other rock guitar players from that era. You know a player is good when he still impresses you after having listened to several other guitarists from other genres.
Hes one with his guitar
Jimmy page always plays a great solo, you can’t say one is better than the other, its all great
Wow that's awesome and I saw led Zeppelin concert in Dallas Texas when I was twenty years old in 1978...🎸🙏✌️🌎
What I really liked was Jimmy's songwriting, arrangements, and creativity.
The absolute best guitarist ever! Saw LZ at Tampa Stadium in the early 70’s, unforgettable!
Beautiful Jimmy Page...............
The world was in a much better place back then i miss them days, now its hell, wish i had a time machine cuz id just go back to the early 70's and take that ride again
I saw them. April 30.1977. 1/4 mile from my home in the suburbs of Pontiac Mi. Soooo good!!

"My one regret in life is that I was born too late to see Zeppelin live in their prime." True!
2 x live here... in Pittsburgh of all places. First time in Three Rivers Stadium is still the best concert I've ever seen. This dude was not the best guitar player I've ever watched... But he was by far the most fun! Once they finally came on... He controlled the stage all night. What a player & damn what a show! My first big English rock band concert... And I will never forget it! Thanks Jimmy.
This solo performance gives me goosebumps. Best guitarist of all time 🔥
Not even top 3 but sure
God. No arguments. Him and Eric Clapton are musical gods.
Musical Gods in the 70s. Not now. They are hot trash compared to guys like John Petrucci.

Nice dude, I remember all this as it what happening. Led Zeppelin, and mainly Jimmy Page has had such an impact on my life.
I like he just felt like jammin in front of 100.000 people
oh well lets have a blast...
If you think that's a lot, go look up Metallica in Moscow 1991
Stfu
Thats a lot of people...
it was never about playing it hard,these guys have so much soul in their music,.....I can follow him humming right before he plays it 😻😻
The perfect homage to all the blues masters that went before.
If I tune myself to the 70ies I've lived, this is immense. While with my current ears of a grown guitarist this is almost unhearable cacophony.
To appreciate Led Zep you must immerge in a certain mood and atmosphere, listening to an entire album, or different albums for days.
It's not music to hear casually from the radio or the hi-fi, apart Immigrant Song.
Always was, always will be the master, we all love you Jimmy Page.
best solo from Page as far as I'm concerned is stairway to heaven live from the song remains the same!
my words mate
yessss.
vracan that one is godly
Ulysses M.
Yeah how they swing and sneak non-nonchalantly a tango beat in there is outstanding! Where in rock music do we get such versatility?!
For me it's thank you from the BBC sessions
He was jammin by himself way before anybody noticed !!!! The power of music
I don't know how Jimmy can play so damn good I'm convinced he's God and plus he's hypnotizing me with these riffs
Jimmy Page and Jack White have I think made the most out of their limited technique. I could listen to Jimmy play all day long. Love it. My favorite guitar player. The riffs and the song writing Set the stage for thousands of guitar players that followed in his footsteps.
I have to put Perry from Aerosmith in that category also. How can you go wrong with the pentatonic scale? You can't. It's impossible.
Watch it might get loud
Seen that a few times...its always enjoyable...
Happy birday Mr Jimmy Page you are the best rock lead guitar in this world thanks for your great music Victor Lisle.
I've seen them several times, Jimmy was always a treat, he always strive to be the best
The ultimate badass guitar hero - the looks, the locks, the chops, the whole package.
THE BEST.KING OF THE GUITTAR.
I think its really funny when people criticize Jimmy Page because even if what he is doing isn't very hard or complex and other people might be able to play it it doesn't make them better than him or just as good you may be able to play it but i would love to see these people try to create or make anything even close to how brilliant and Awesome what he created is its ridiculous to think that just because something isn't wicked hard it cant be brilliant. He is still one of the best guitar players to ever live and just because a bunch of people who are just looking to start stuff and hate on him say hes not good doesn't change the fact that he is one of the greatest.
***** Fuck what people say because he is considered an Overlord in music an ask those same critics how many albums the;ve sold are selling!Ha!!!
Agreed !
completely agree...great Jimmy
Exactly... A lot people don't understand that it's not about technical ability, but the creation.
People will never reach the musical level of a jimmy page.
Yeah, people are just jealous of the dude. Everyone makes mistakes, even the best of the best.
Can we just appreciate Bonzo and Jpj keeping everything on lock? Jpj was straight jamming with Jimmy.
Wow, just incredible chemistry.
It isn't just Jimmy's fabulous guitar skills that make this great. It's the unmatched sound of the Gibson Les Paul guitar he's playing!
