I was lucky enough to attend both Greek theatre shows. Drove up from San diego. got lucky and found Jimmy page at hotel the afternoon before second show. He was kind enough to take a pic with me.
Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucky man :D
Jimmy should have joined the Dead Boys in 1980
@@gabevachon326 Bonham joined that year.
Loomi
He liked the damned
Jimmy Page is not just another guitarist on that stage. Even the other players are intrigued.
That's correct!!no one rocks a guitar like Jimmy... And sounds to there Vocalist is trying to sound like Robert Plant
One of the top 5 guitar players in history standing there who they have been listening too long before they were even in bands. Hardly suprising.
Well that is something you don't see everyday; Jimmy Page playing a strat.
+ottolohr He played a fender from 1966 - 1969. He used it on LZ 1. He switched to a Gibson because he wanted a fuller, richer sound on stage when he played live. The sound equipment wasn't as good as it is today, and he liked the double humbuckers provided by Gibson Les Pauls.
+Zep Man right... but he was playing a telecaster with early Zep.
I don't think I've ever seen Page with a stratocaster.
+Jim Linehan He played one quite a bit in The Firm and on the last Zep album.
+Jim Linehan he played one in some later Zeppelin tracks and always used one live for "In the Evening".
In the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevening :-)
The crows made huge ticket sales with page , then got miffed the crowd was more into hearing the zeppelin stuff then theirs and some of them started dissing him after the tour, , HEY LET'S GET PAGE ON OUR TOUR THAT WILL GIVE US SOME SERIOUS STREET CRED, they play a Zeppelin song the crowd goes wild for Jimmy, hey WTF.. huh imagine that who could of foreseen that coming... duh
You said it!
it was only 2 shows and then it soured? thats crazy
Rich turned down page to help with recording he was insulted and hurt . Don't blame him those two brothers are so egotistical and self centered. Rich ruined a great collaboration
@@chb8037 more than two shows, they did a whole tour.
Such total bullshit your talking..the black crowes didn't need to play led zep covers and Jimmy page was damn lucky to get Chris and rich to agree to help his old ass have another shot at the spotlight ..
Page always seems to understand the other bands and players that will mesh into his style
Agree. I never cared for the Black Crowes because they are too affected, but musically they do have a certain rawness that Page seems to seek out. I'm blown away by their arrogance though. They literally insulted Page a few days into the tour, which is why it was cancelled. "Hurt back". That was Jimmy gracefully exiting an ungrateful band that will never come close to ever working with such a genius again.
Being in the presence when the creative juices are flowing is truly mystical and fill's the spirit lined body with floods of joy and the loss of time when immersed in vibrations from the souls creating a song.
Some of the most creative moments in a famous musician’s life are at the pre-show soundchecks during a big tour! Some of the
best music ever gets played! And these people are doing it for the money but they also love the opportunity to jam their heart’s desires! We should feel honored to have these recordings!
Anybody watch this and not understand Steve Gorman being, easily, the most under appreciated member of the band?
T R
Gorman is such a good drummer. Plays with a lot of swing-feel.
Gorman single Handedly made this collaboration a success. He personally ensured it.
SpinalTap coulda used a drummer like Gorman. Much like Charlie Watts he was always there ready lay it down. I can dance to anything he’s behind.
He is really like my favorite drummer modern day him and Chad Smith are tied for first. Sure you have Tony Royster Junior Pridgen Blackwell spears I could go on forever but those two guys just have great pocket control and are true band drummers. Play perfect for the song never over play just in my opinion perfect drummers
Probably very influenced by Bonzo. Similar style imo.
Jimmy's the only modern dude who has that authentic Robert Johnson feel.
Robin Trower
The only one? That's silly.
@@ChrisLawton66 I was being rhetorical and focusing on the major famous rock guys.
Of course it is subjective; I do not know everything or every guitarist.
Imagine being in a band and having Jimmy Page walk into the room and asking to join your band?
@@Taylor.Dude. I also saw somewhere Page had some riffs he had written for Zepp or Plant and Plant wasn’t interested in doing anything so he offered to collaborate these riffs with TBC and Rich said to him no thanks lol
We were lucky to have attended the Roseland Ballroom show in New York city a week earlier, seating capacity 3,200 !
Yea I saw them both , awesome
Great video. A glimpse of what preparation goes on before a live concert. I'm often amazed bands can remember correct lyrics, notes, musical parts for 2-3 hours during a show. Not to mention the physical, mental and emotional stamina required

A,

I quick

Bbb
It’s not like they’re hanging drywall for 12 hours
Try being a stage hand and having to unload trucks, arrange the road cases, un pack them, put the truss in place, bolting all together, mounting the chains and motors, connecting all the lights, building the video screens, building the stage and risers, running all the cables to the foh setting up the speakers and the pa, putting all the curtains and rods in place, then after the big stars play and have fun for a couple of hours, putting all that stuff back into the cases and loading it all back on to the trucks. I also am an artist and I know what it takes to play a show as a performer. The crew are the hardest working people in show biz.
Finally after 12 minutes Audley gets shown. Great video.
My beloved Jimmy !!! 🎶🎸😍
Dude on drums is filthy
Stormin' Gorman.
Kinky . . . .
Drummer is a madman
Jimmys T-shirt is epic...I want one
Steve's drums sound GREAT !!
Page is great just jamming around
man if only this could have lasted
I love the Zep covers they did with all the guitars sounds like the albums
Every rock musician envious!
Most fun noodling around by anyone I've seen 8)
At 4:19 the camera work morphs into many peoples memory of what a Zep show was like...we used to pay for that effect.🤣😂😂What happened in the seventies stays in the seventies.
You can always count on Rich to look bored in every situation.
Nobody looks particularly thrilled. Why single him out?
@@ChrisLawton66 Because he’s not wrong
Rock and roll bored
I remember when Danelectro made a comeback in the late 90's with their plywood guitars. I wanted one so bad but i was a poor teenager and thought that blowing money on a pos guitar would be too frivolous when i already had a great Epiphone Les Paul standard and a tricked out Mexican Stratocaster. I did however spring for the Danelectro Daddy'o Overdrive pedal and a small portable amp called Honey Tone from them as well.
Dano were cheaper even then
I had one of those late 90's Danes. Mine always seem to break the high E at the bridge. Wish I had the Japanese Squire Tele back that I traded for it.
Nice stuff. Thanks.
I can’t reconcile myself with TBC’s. I like their vibe and a lot of their music is quite good. The drama between the two brothers and getting kicked off of their tour with ZZTop is disconcerting. If there wasn’t money and all of the trappings that go along with being a rock star would they still do it? Who knows? Jimmy Page is amazing. I never get tired of Led Zeppelin.
was at the first show , amazing they were meant to play together
Danelectros for everyone!!!!
DADGAD
Where's mine?
Still got the tagger on it that one does
@@garthgundy Don't touch it. Stop looking at it.
I love Dano’s
That's a really nice groove Jimmy, Ron, et al are laying down.
then lost the gut and the hair dye, looks like a distinguished older rock star deviant, mystic, charmer....
Yeah!! Love watching Jimmy get into it.. that's when the magic starts happening! The Master is moving like his Zeppelin days.. they sound great as a unit, I can see why he picked this band.
Yeah but Jimmy also exited after a few shows because they are knuckleheads too. Musically, they cut it. But not in other ways. They really weren't worthy.
@@Tyrell_Corp2019 hit that nail firmly on the head
What heights this already great band would’ve achieved, if the brothers weren’t complete misfits as people.
Well he played well again in the 90s, but he made himself with session in the 60s, didn't he? . Point is he's from a different time and influence- vintage, virtuoso, multi genred and just sweet joy to listen to.
Wonderful, thank you Mark :)
Yes Jimmy Page is a master of the Stratocaster too
I read somewhere Jimmy wanted to write new music with the Black Crowes when they said no thanks Jimmy disappeared, and they cancelled the rest of the tour, don't know if that's true
That's what Gorman says in his book. He says Jimmy wanted to contribute to the next album and Rich said no.
@@silat13 thanks I need to find that book.
Thats what i heard. Jimmy used the back thing as a way of movin on.
Nah they were set to tour to tour together & Jimmy Fell thru a hole in the stage and hurt his back..& needed 6months of therapy
Sure is.....Uses one playing In the Evening
Had tickets to see them and they canceled because of Jimmy’s back. Never had the chance again totally bummed back then
Me too...Black Crowes with Page opening for The Who at Madison Square Garden.Promoter subbed The Wallflowers for Black Crowes.Jakob Dylan was booed off the stage.
Jimmy Page's solos are always tight, precise, and original. Never once in my entire life have I EVER seen a sloppy Page. MY GOD! I wish those jealous haters would stop that shit!
I'm a big Page fan and admit that his playing is typically sloppy, especially onstage, but that's part of his style - with emphasis on emotion instead of technical virtuosity. He's a pioneering rock guitarist, not a jazz guitarist. Having said that, as a studio musician in his early days, he was trained in the ways of discipline in the studio when accuracy truly counted.
@@DDEENY You're jealous of him
Yeah it’s a bit complicated. Pagey knows his shit tho!
@@andymelendez9757 True.
@@DDEENY Oh mealy-mouth this and mealy-mouth that! Page has never been sloppy. You're jealous because you could never do what he did.
Now read Steve Gorman's book....gives you a whole new perspective on Rich and Chris Robinson attitude during the Jimmy Page tour
enchilada 500 good or bad?
Ive heard they hated it
Correct and I think this was the day Steve says the performance fell flat... hard to believe.
That's because the Robinson's have a rotten attitude most of the time.
They forgot all about...dynamics....the blues is never blasting all the time.......
Would have liked to see more of Audley tbh but I love these guys and of course love jimmy
this is soooo cool, just watching Jimmy jam. it's a lot of time you have to spend being a rock star. being on the road all the time. geez, no wonder they get the bucks, you have to spend your whole life in it.
There are a lot of traveling salesmen out there making 60K/yr. The amount of work or travel has nothing to do with it. They get paid to draw crowds and sell records.
page plays that strat like a pro!.............
that strato probably is the first guitar he had...he talk in ''It Might Get Loud'' about a sunburst strato and the history about
@@fabianbjunior yeah I saw that too.
U r so on spot geez, love it man
time and tech fly - they had the lyric video monitors back in the 90's.
Those Black Crows thought they had made it, didn't read the devils fine print
Even shot on an 2G phone cam it sounds better than any of the crap put out today. Sad.
nice one thanks!
Legends
Page with a Strat. Pretty rare except for In the Evening.
And "For Your Life."
@@arthowardmusic3209 i think he also played a strat at on No Quarter in one of the Earl's Court shows
Played a 12 string Strat on Stairway.
Donovan plays a strat?
During You Shook Me, Rich is so confused as to the greatness that is happening, he has to switch guitars.
Rich should have graciously apologized maybe page would have stayed. Such a missed opportunity was a great collaboration saw the show in Camden nj lucky to be there
This drummer reminds me of my old drummer that I used to be in a band with. Just playing relentlessly and not listening to dynamics. Pisses me off just watching this.
He’s good enough for Page. Nobody cares about your poopdick ass band or music anyway, so it really doesn’t matter anyway
Jimmy had a Strat and Tele long before Joe Walsh introduced him to the Les Paul
Can I have some of what your having?
@@ahrimanic7 it's true.joe sold his Les Paul to Page.joe told page you really need a Les Paul doing your live Led Zeppelin shows to have a much darker sound and Bam!page was stuck on Les Paul's.
Back in the Skiffle days or was it the Goldfinger sessions?
Absolutely true. He is playing a strat on Stairway on LZ4.
That 59 lp is worth a fortune
wow...thanks
You have to be a minimum at least 6' 2 to be in this band, which is sadly why they couldn't keep Jimmy Page.... tru fact
he was actually around 6'2 with good posture... but hunching over here was only 5'6

Wow, a two-day soundcheck - that seems rather excessive
They better had got it right!
Yet I have seen pictures of him in his studio days with the Black Beauty so....? :/
Cypress Tree 2 years before Lions?
David Swanson I'm glad you picked up on that as well. I always thought that song had a strong Page influence.
Yeah; that song especially but even down to the sound of the LP, you could hear in the "vastness" of their playing how they were coming off the Jimmy Page experience all over the "Lions" effort.
🙏 ❤
Weird to see Jimmy playing a strat..
best asian guitarist barnone
bmf 456 jimmy isn’t Asian
Mike D i think they were making a joke because he looks like an old japanese woman now
Eddie Van Halen is no slouch either
Steve Gorman OMG, same as Chris took in Plant and remained Chris, Steve really rose to the challenge with Bonham in this tour. Unpopular opinion: I know this album and tour wouldn't have happened without Page, but I much rather have had an album of Crowes Zep covers WITHOUT Page (his playing in Live at the Greek is either meh or embarrassing, sorry) with Marc Ford.
Go away page hating troll listen elsewhere
Not true the whole reason the cd came to be was because of how good ihe was that nigh, I was there and he sounded as good as ever..
Ritchie is playing "Cypress Tree" riff at the beginning
Badass song from a great album.
This sounds like Jethro Tull warming up with no trumpet.
Trumpet? He played a flute
Sounds nothing like them
Jimmy’s got himself a little paunch.
These guys listened to led zeppelin with absolute awe then they get to tour with Jimmy Page must be so intimidating as a guitarist because nowhere near as good as Jimmy Page
C robinson said he didnt like the tour
So originally this is colour footage? 15:09
This is after Jimmy quit smoking and grew a gut :D
Fender?
Worse cameraman ever.
👍🇺🇲🇬🇧❤
I wasn't as lucky ,I had tikets for irvine meadows that got cancelled out cause he broke his arm! Mikee
anyone notice that Chris has to have teleprompters?? how the fuck does he not know zeppelin lyrics or care to learn them??? lmfao.
Only blue's #'s please it went down like the Hindenburg Zeppelin originals
Jimmy is trying to figure out guitar sound and they are creating Noise..
Wizh i was born. Haha
very clear page is having a blast while other miedocre rockers look sullen and pretentious lololol
Page actually looks better now than he did 22 years ago. Great songwriter/producer but his live playing went to shit once he hit the smack.
who the f is jimmy page ??
One of the roadies
Oh, arnt they cool, no Jeff Becks among em though.
Eye roll

Poseurs
Sound checks are the worst. You have to make all this forced non verbal communication with guys you got bored with 3 months ago
Why would you be bored of anybody??? Why is anything forced?????? You obviously don't know what it means to be professional.
It’s a bunch of fucking noise
Jimmy Page is ridiculously overrated.
John Ashton: yeah he definitely looks UP to you with envy he's soooo jealous.
John Ashton: loads of his fellow musicians were influenced by and have the utmost respect for his talent ....but wadda they know they havent heard you play or anything you have written so what do they know. lol
John Asheton, Your last girlfriend said the same about you.
John Asheton. Maybe so...but HE never overrated himself. Got it ?
That's why he was ranked best session guitarist available in London throughout the sixties before he joined the Yardbirds, and bands would be put on hold for weeks so that he could be recorded on their albums? Yeah, he's not that impressive at all.
