@@md.taufiquerrhman240 Imagine writing what is considered one of the best guitar solos in the world and at the same time not even being to play your own damn solo. lol
alexi shanto this isn’t the same jimmy page as the one who wrote stairway to heaven. This is a dude completely baked out of his mind, who also happens to be an absolute beast on the guitar when sober. Of course he can play it, quite easily might I add, but his brain needs to be switched on first.
lets not forget he was getting over a heroin addiction so from the late 70s all through the 80's he hardly picked up a guitar he literally had to start from scratch thank god he found his way back.
Stroppy Paws he knows. That’s why he’s done his best to hide all footage of him from the 1980s. Not possible in the age of the internet, but before the 2000s, nobody who saw this at the time didn’t know it existed
say what you want but I honestly believe this was one of his more emotional solos, you can hear it in his guitar playing, the way the solo sounds and has the echo behind it. especially this concert being one of the first times he played again since bonzos death, the separation of his band, heroin and depression I just feel it all unfolds with what and how he plays here.
Watching it and listening, it sounds like he's just trying to find his way back...feeling it out. At 4:10, shit got serious. You can tell once it was solo time and he starting flicking the knobs, it was time to get to work. Even his body language changed and he really laid into the solo hard. I'm with you totally, you can feel the emotions pouring on out in this one.
You can say what you like about Jimmy but he had and still does more talent than most guitar players. He was innovative and without him and the other 3 LZ members music would not be what it is today.
6:16 With all the events around his life at the time. The way the guitar echos without Roberts Plants voice or John's drum solo it really sounds like a cry and less like a normal stairway to heaven ending
Jimmy is a true artist!!! Always throws a little something different in everytime! People say he isn't great??? Wtf??? He's definitely one of the greatest of all time if not the greatest! Look at all the songs and riffs he created!
God love 'em. He was in serious limbo at that time but still had the guts to get back up there and play. Missing Bonham and that chemistry. Can't ever get over them days. But- you fall off your bike ya gotta get back on and ride that bastard!
I saw Jimmy Page performance stairway to heaven in 1988 from front row. The singer walked off the stage the crowd is the one that sang the song. Being one of 15,000 people singing the song was an incredible experience.
I know people will say I have no idea what I'm talking about, but I think this is an incredible performance. The emotion that radiates from this version of stairway is unparalleled. It sounds like the song is weeping as it struggles to stay alive and pull itself together. The pained playing with the repeating statements truly makes this feel like jimmy is releasing all of his anguish through his guitar. It's truly hypnotizing.
I can seriously relate to his playing/feeling just coming off of a long time heroine addiction myself and finally having some clean time ( 3 years) and (I'm 35 years old i was a user my entire adult life) playing again I'm nothing like I was in my early 20s but it's coming back note by note scale by scale.......
I'm so happy that you've gotten your life back! That's wonderful. But Jimmy was still heavily addicted here. Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck invited him to do this in hopes he would see for himself just how far he had fallen. But he wasn't completely straight until the early 90s. Bless him, he kicked it all finally. And bless you. I hope you have continued success!
Thank you! I surely will! And that's interesting I thought that he had kicked his habit at this point I guess that's why he is so skinny here he doesn't look very good but maybe it's the kick he needed 🥺💝
When page was on top of his game 1973 see song remains the same movie. dazed and confused and whole lotta love no one can deny he was the greatest ever!!!!!!!
Jimmy just disappeared. There was very little news about him and really no photographs. The only way you could see them was to go to the midnight movies. A lot of people didn’t think he was going to survive. I remember when these concerts came out in 83. It was so sad to see him in such bad shape. And it was so hard to watch the greatest guitarist in the world play so poorly. But he still generated that unexplainable excitement. and it was really cool to just actually see him again. Rolling Stone magazine said that Jimmy was “the very picture of wrecked rock ‘n’ roll elegance”.
Not really - Simon Phillips (the drummer) was promptly asked to replace drummer, and they he didnt even had a chance to practice this...Simon is amazing drummer by the way, plays (produces, composes etc) many songs in a way that nobody can mimic, one of the best drummers of all times.
Grunge Boy I’m sad, but not because of the missing band. I’m sad because heroin took away one of humanity’s greatest musical talents in a long time, for over 10 years.
When I was a child my idol was Eric Clapton but when I was watching RUclips I type Best guitarist and I see Jimmy page was kinda little bit for me but, when I saw his band and his led zeppelin other music I say, oh God wow, and so Jimmy was my idol now
Ayham Shaheed It was 7 years but may as well been a decade. I listened to Zeppelin bootlegs in the 70s, bought their albums from Physical Graffiti on when released and saw them three times in 77 at the Forum. Closing night we sat 9th row right in front of Jimmy and he was terrible! We ditched school half a dozen times to see TSRTS when it was released and we're so ready to see them live! Opening night was good, the third night was ok but closing night sucked! My brother had his camera with a telescopic lens and Jimmy's wrists and fingers were like bones. He's skinny anyway but I heard he didn't eat food, just drank alcohol while he was slamming. It was so disappointing, tragic after the movie was so great and the albums are legendary. I'm lucky to have seen the ARMS Benefit for Ronnie Lane in 83 at the Forum and he was clean. He had a skip in his step again, was smiling and did an amazing job playing "Stairway" solo. We all stood mesmerized and gently swayed as he began. At the end we all sang the last line still entranced by Jimmy.
Everyone blaming the drummer has no idea what they’re talking about. He’s widely regarded as one of the best rock drummers ever, and he’s seen here desperately trying to simultaneously do three mutually exclusive things: play the parts, keep time, AND stay with Page, who simply isn’t listening to anyone else he’s playing with. It’s an impossible task. Page’s timing is so wildly erratic, no drummer in the world could have pulled this shit-show out of the fire. He must have been shitting himself every night.
Yes, You are right, but You have to know that that everyJimmy Page fan don't accept ANY critique of him. They will tell you that , well, he was not sober, the drummer couldn't "feel" his "timing", performance was bad captured by the recording team. At the end they will tell You: "Are You better than him"? As for me, yes i am better then him, because I was playing in so many PROFESSIONAL (!!!) situationans that amateur like Jimmy Page would be fired!!!! Is he a legend, Sure, he is, but as , being a "legend" he is still a very average , not educated, guitar player.
@@stefangolubek8219 shut the fuck up. If you were as good as jimmy page people would actually know who the fuck you are. I bet your guitar sounds like absolute shit
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.
Barney McGrane I have the original vhs I've been looking simon isn't in the crebits ??? I wonder ?? maybe he came late in the tour . I saw the cow palace show early eighties it was All over that Kenny Jones was drumming
Barney McGrane OK I talked to my friend in england Steve. he said they were both on the tour Kenny Jones. Simon Philips . and yes it Simon on the drums for stair way I got it now
Jimmy looked off his rocker the whole performance...but, at 4:10 when he hit the knobs and switches on the guitar...he totally transformed. Shit got serious!
What a lot of people don't understand on this thread is that Jimmy Page Never ever played the same solo twice. Each time you hear a Page solo it's a one off, an original, never to be played again a tangent on a framework, so therefore you are going to get some nights where it's unbelievably brilliant and some not so great. It's so easy to play the same notes over and over again. Pink Floyd, The Eagles and so many others have made a career out of it. One show is barely discernible from another, but that's not Page's way. There are only two other guitarists that dared to play like that and they were Frank Zappa and Jimi Hendrix. It takes guts and real genuine genius to be able to play that way. So before you criticise and bleat about it not being as good as the one on IV ot TSRTS just bear this in mind - it was never supposed to be. I think it's a brilliant performance for the record.
Actually this is pretty good guitar stuff from page., most of the people with negative comments doesn't even know half the struggle of playing guitar, let alone coming back from addiction
he may not be the best in the world at playing guitar bust he's definitely the best at writing songs with it... you can be the best player that ever walked into a guitar center but man to write all the riffs this guy wrote...GOAT
He is a master guitarist,he was a successful session guitarist and u have to be very precise when playing. Playing sloppy and improvising was just his style,similar to hendrix
One of my friends was a sound engineer at this concert. He said that Page was totally out of it. His playing was so bad that Clapton agreed to over-dub some of his playing for the film.
Easily the best stairway to heaven solo he has ever done. Though there are sharper sound setups in many other versions of his this has notes and creativity from another planet. Illuminati, the golden Dawn, black magic or not his guitar playing is all time. Hate the song and all the Satan shit but can't get away from that mystical solo
Lets not forget even the guitar gids on their worst nights are better than everyone else. I enjoyed this version of the original jam. I'm giving it a thumbs up :-)
Simon Phillips was the drummer, and was actually playing with Jeff Beck. On the night of the show he was asked to play with Jimmy Page. So prior to this perfomance they had maybe run through it once or twice before going on stage. I'd say he did a quite solid job - especially considering the state Page was in. *Source: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/drummer-simon-phillips-interview-mick-jagger-jimmy-page-toto-1115962/
È Jimmy Page. Probabilmente il più grande chitarrista mai esistito. Ma qui suona quasi come un dilettante 😔😔 l'eroina lo stava mangiando completamente, è come se si stesse portando via anche il suo incredibile talento.... Fortunatamente poi non è stato così, il suo talento se l'è ripreso e ci ha regalato altre meravigliose performance, come lui solo sa fare 👏
Re: posts below debating Page kicking dope @ this time. I'll say this- you don't show up to a concert of this magnitude while dope sick. The 12string is way outta tune, Page ain't the same guy gliding around the stage @ MSG in SRtS, but just because its him... it's fantastic. Keep in mind, at this time he'd been a recluse for years.
How's it a rip off? One of the best pieces of music ever "written" overplayed yes, but how is it a rip off? Jimmy page is a pure genius! From guitar, organ, lyrics and drums this song is ICONIC.
I've never seen someone playing a two-neck guitar in my country, so I have to ask: What's the purpose (goal) of two necks? When do you use the upper neck? Instead of a two-neck guitar, wouldn't it be more interesting a second guitar player in the band ?
Stairway to Heaven was recorded on 3 guitars, a harmony 6 string, a fender 12 string and solo recorded on a telecaster, the Gibson EDS1275 (The doubleneck) has 1 neck with 6 strings and a 2nd neck with 12 strings, the 12 strings were needs to play the song live and as jimmy page has said before, why take 2 or 3 guitarists when you can have 1? But to summarise it was basically to make the song possible to perform live
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.
This solo is actually better than his stairway solo which sounds like mumbling in the 1973 concert, the only imperfection of this version is just Simon Phillip doesn't know him as well as John Bonham.

you dont start from scratch once you have already learned how to play guitar,just takes a while to pick things back up,you can erase knowledge
I do not think that heroin erases a guitarist's knowledge. He may not have had the same energy but there is not a problem with cognition.

I love this version, even if Jimmy looks like he struggled just to hold up the double-neck--it sounds fantastic.

Simon Phillips was the drummer, and was actually playing with Jeff Beck. On the night of the show he was asked to play with Jimmy Page. So prior to this perfomance they had maybe run through it once or twice before going on stage.

Ma qui suona quasi come un dilettante 😔😔 l'eroina lo stava mangiando completamente, è come se si stesse portando via anche il suo incredibile talento.... Fortunatamente poi non è stato così, il suo talento se l'è ripreso e ci ha regalato altre meravigliose performance, come lui solo sa fare 👏
Too bad it's been so long since he's put any music out it would be great to finally hear a second solo album- I loved the instrumentals on Outrider
He was on double? Never seen it, only heard. Cool!
Re: posts below debating Page kicking dope @ this time. I'll say this- you don't show up to a concert of this magnitude while dope sick. The 12string is way outta tune, Page ain't the same guy gliding around the stage @ MSG in SRtS, but just because its him... it's fantastic. Keep in mind, at this time he'd been a recluse for years.
Yas! Simon Phillips on the Drums.
How's it a rip off? One of the best pieces of music ever "written" overplayed yes, but how is it a rip off? Jimmy page is a pure genius! From guitar, organ, lyrics and drums this song is ICONIC.
Untrollmasfino tell it to the judge
I've never seen someone playing a two-neck guitar in my country, so I have to ask: What's the purpose (goal) of two necks? When do you use the upper neck? Instead of a two-neck guitar, wouldn't it be more interesting a second guitar player in the band ?
Stairway to Heaven was recorded on 3 guitars, a harmony 6 string, a fender 12 string and solo recorded on a telecaster, the Gibson EDS1275 (The doubleneck) has 1 neck with 6 strings and a 2nd neck with 12 strings, the 12 strings were needs to play the song live and as jimmy page has said before, why take 2 or 3 guitarists when you can have 1? But to summarise it was basically to make the song possible to perform live
This is James Patrick Page, Jimmy Page. Anyone who knows his career knows the meaning of the word “GENIUS”
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.
Jimmy you on the 12 sides guitar. So great from you
the ramblings of madmen this is
Happy 77 th Bday Jimmy 1/9/2021
This solo is actually better than his stairway solo which sounds like mumbling in the 1973 concert, the only imperfection of this version is just Simon Phillip doesn't know him as well as John Bonham.
Beautiful
Monster 🤟🤟🤟

It's the sound of his guitar

One word.. goosebumps
без Бонзо распустил группу, без Роберта играл Лестницу без вокала. Благородный Джимми, гитарист от Бога. Главное не деньги, а высокий уровень.
