@@jbranum3087 singling out Page for doing that is tantamount to saying ' my knowledge of the UK blues rock scene consists of what I've seen on two or three RUclips videos about Led Zeppelin' . What exactly do you think the Stones Animals Yardbirds Jeff Beck Group Fleetwood Mac Small Faces Hendrix Mayall and every other noteworthy band from the UK were playing early in their careers ? At least Page added something new to the blues instead of trying to emulate the sound of the old players. Whether or not he credits the original artists is a legal or perhaps ethical issue but it has nothing to do with the quality of the arrangements or the musicianship displayed on Zeppelin's recordings
what surprises me about this whole series of reviews is how well all of these guys knew very well what was out there and who was who and when was what, they knew alot more about the music scene that I imagined, I would have always believed that they somewhat insulated themselves from everybody else but obviously they didn't
They could not have developed into great musicians themselves had they not been saturated in and inspired by what others were playing and what came before them. I imagine the British 60's bands living holed up like cave dwellers and spending the vast majority of their time spinning old records that most never heard of on their phonographs. That's how I spent most of my youth after age 11. Unfortunately what I was able to acquire in knowledge and music appreciation I could not duplicate when it came to talent.
We all appreciate that Page was an outstanding guitarist. Interesting to hear his views and breadth of knowledge about the artists reviewed. It was absolutely no shock at all to hear him worshipping Les Paul, though
And Page mentions that he and Jeff Beck were both fans of Les Paul… Check out Jeff Beck‘s tribute to Les Paul at the iridium on DVD, with Imelda May! Awesome stuff
He really does pull the specifics out of these recordings. This is an invaluable record of a musical mind encountering different levels of talent. Many thanks for this one!
Page is often compared to other guitarists, like Hendrix or Van Halen. But tbh, i always compare him to Brian Wilson, George Martin, etc.... Because this man is literally the PRODUCER of Led Zeppelin. Remember that. He controlled every aspect of production.....down to the way Bonham's drums sounded. That was all Page.
Liege and Lief is a must listen to album before you die. Sandy's Swan Song with the boys was far and away their Magnum Opus. Her rendition of Reynardine and Maddy Groves are recording gold and this track "Come all Ye"...1st on the album is a spiritual experience. Glad he liked her. Probably influenced their decision to hire her on their song, "Battle of Evermore". Pete Townsend said her voice had no vibrato(which wasn't entirely true). It was just Pure and Easy. RIP Sandy
Jimmy’s like a savant. He can recognize the smallest detail in a recording good or bad. I don’t know if he was born that way like a prodigy or he just had a capacity to absorb and learn about any music he heard on the radio, records or in the studio sessions. Quite remarkable.
He's had so much experience in the studio as a session player and working with producers and sound engineers that he knows it all. I also believe its a factor contributing to the success of Led Zep.
@@weeooh1 I totally agree. I just find it so fascinating that he was recruited for session work and while there took in every aspect of the producing and engineering of the music and at such a young age. Some guys might have gone in done a great job and when it was over it was over. I wonder if he had any inkling before that experience that he had a knack for that? Maybe there was a clue in that early, early television interview he did as a kid when he was doing skiffle. He said he wanted to get into “biological research”. He had an interest in curing cancer and was therefore interested in quite an intensive discipline of study and discovery. Maybe it tells us what kind of unrelenting, inquiring mind he had as a young person.
Just recently learned thanks to Terry Reid, Jimmy found a pretty good heavy drummer so that his guitar could explode! Well initially it was to check out Robert but Terry said you gotta hire the drummer too! And the music world changed forever. Thank you Terry!
Page is one of the few true geniuses in rock music. He didn't think or play or write like a typical rock guitarist because he is not typical. I wish he would have been more prolific after Zeppelin . I always thought the film score ( not the soundtrack , the actual score ) he made for the Death Wish 2 film is a good example of his understanding of creating drama , tension and moods with music. Not many could stir emotions in the listener like Page could.
Not speaking necessarily about this clip, but these videos have opened my eyes to how different the lists of top pop songs were in the UK and the US during the 60's. Most of the songs reviewed here I've never heard of.
Many of those singles featured in all those Blind Date sessions weren't really top pop songs in the UK, though. Many of them never charted, they were only singles that had just been released that week and the artists were asked to review them.
@@YesterdaysPapers it's still a facinating journey to the other side of the pond having grown up in this era. Having said that....Liege and Lief was an absolute masterpiece, even for this American
I've listened to a bunch of these in this series and Jimmy Page - so far - is the most informed and makes intelligent comments, but then again, they gave him more interesting records to comment on than the top 40 of the day.
I really liked this. Jimmy is positive about everything here. Since he started as a session musician his analysis down to every detail is really something.

Very nice that he admired Les Paul and reacted to one of my favorites, "Little Rock Getaway". Mary's voice, however, will never be dated; it is timeless.
I got to meet Les Paul, because of my Jazz guitar instructor (an old buddy of Les) In 1976......it wasn't a big deal but I can always say I had a chat with him.
I consider Liege & Lief the kind of album you shoot off into space for the aliens to enjoy. Yes, at one time the human race was capable of making something this good.
Can't disagree with that. I didn't really get off on the first album, with Judy Dyble on vocals, but like a lot of bands, they then put out the best three albums of their life, (What We Did On our Holidays, Unhalfbricking, and Leige & Lief).
@@ClueSign I guess I'm talking about putting Clapton or Hendricks ahead of him. Not even. And Clapton is the man! Clapton might just be the greatest guitarist in history....but Page is better for so many reasons including the little things he learned in sessions.
@@SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand You're talking about rock guitarists. I'm talking about 100% of every guitarist who ever lived. Page is number one of all time.

@@JoeandAngie It’s not only irrelevant but incorrect. Travis was born and raised in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky and his career began in Kentucky. He died in Oklahoma, which means nothing.
A bunch to (re)discover on that one. I like what he says about Bukka White’s song, you can’t separate music from the instruments and recording gear used.
Jimmy Page is a very controversial person in my mind, for many reasons. This review scored him some bonus points. Musically he'd obviously done his homework from very early on. I do love that he reacted so positively to Fairport, I absolutely love that record.
Not that my opinion means anything compared to Jimmy’s, but I completely agree about Chet Atkins. It’s honestly a very dry sound he has. It’s kind of the musical equivalent of those 50s TV shows like “Leave it to Beaver” or “Father Knows Best”…..
It's funny that Jimmy at first doesn't recognize Sandy Denny in Fairport since Zeppelin would collaborate with her on Battle of Evermore for Zeppelin IV.
It is interesting to me that the older recordings he was so knowledgeable about were only max 40 yo, yet 1969 is now 52 ya and everybody knows about then. We are lucky. He was dedicated.
"...[the late] Sandy Denny...Merle Travis...Django Reinhardt..."--Jimmy Page. I've said it before. I'll say it again. Page is and was and will be the greatest guitarist who ever lived - for many more reasons that just plucking the strings - and I've heard 'em all from Paul & Ford to Hendricks to Manitas de Plata to Mark Knopfler to Andrés Segovia to Reinhardt to Clapton. Bar none. Case closed. Next case.
He hadn't heard of Eddie Lang. Interesting. We often expect proficient musicians to be familiar with everyone prominent on the same instrument. But it just isn't so.
@@heinrichvon It's a wikipedia world. People now enjoy the illusion of wide-ranging knowledge without leaving their chairs. Don't have to go to the right record stores, dig through import stacks, or actually spend their cash on the few bits of wax transported to their part of the globe.
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 I learned about Eddie Lang through jazz CD liner notes before Wikipedia, and by borrowing jazz guitar CDs from the library. And I wasn't trying to say I was smarter or more knowledgeable than Jimmy: we're human and we all have gaps in our knowledge: filling them in is the fun part.
Wow! Never heard of Eddie Lang and didn't listen to much Charlie Christian. Along with Django, they were the most influential early jazz guitarists, and often played with a rock guitarist's touch. Nearly all of Charlie's notes were down-strokes, which emit bigger tones than up-strokes (think Rory Gallagher and Eddie Hazel). The strings that Eddie played on were so heavy that the tension sometimes broke his guitars. One of the great things about mid-and late-'60s British rock was its freshness. They players weren't comprehensive or Byzantine in their knowledge. They heard things with fresh ears, and with their inspiration and England's own rich musical traditions, created songs, grooves, and sounds that sent shock waves that are still reverberating around the world.
Mr. Page produced one of the scariest albums ever in Lucifer Rising. I'd no idea Come All Ye was a single release. Jimmy's old mate Robert Plant would go on to record a Bukka White song. I can't agree with Jimmy on the subject of The Peddlers, Lok shen Pudding and Tell The World We're Not In are class. Sorry Jim! Eddie Lang sounds like early Stones, I bet Brian had heard of him. Lol.
You Left One Out, He Reviewed Simply Orange, No Pulp Orange Juice. He said "Wow, I've Never Had Orange Juice Without pulp. I can tell it has none, is it Simply Orange? Yeah, I could tell pretty good considering it has a more sugar than the stuff you get at the farmer's market. I could be wrong, but it feels more like Simply Orange. It Is? It's pretty good, but to sugary. But if you hate pulp I'd suggest getting it. Pulp doesn't bother me, and once I was able to get some no pulp Orange Juice at a Market. But I prefer normal Orange Juice."
Wonder which Pretty Things track with a wah wah organ Page meant . There might be a lot of sound experimenting going on in 'SF Sorrow' ,but even there I can't recognise this Peddlers organ ... .....more like in this link from "Locomotive - Mr. Armageddon"👉🏼ruclips.net/video/KPcpijwo7hg/видео.html
That's a really cool song. I wasn't familiar with it, great stuff. I'm guessing Jimmy meant "Defecting Grey". You can hear a weird wah wah organ in certain parts of the song.
Knowing how Jimmy speaks in this day I could have heard him in my head as I read the paragraphs. Unfortunately this guy speaks nothing like Jimmy. But I suppose it’s nice to have somebody read to you.
3:37 I used to say the same thing about modern days guitar heroes, Satriani, Vai... they have too basic rhythm sections, utterly boring... you can tell they didn't care much about arrangements.
So true! All musicians are influenced by other musicians but to steal and not give credit says a lot about the character of a man! I mean Dazed and Confused for instance! Jesus! Jake Holmes got his day in court not long ago! They nicked lyrics from 3 different songs for 1 track! Ridiculous as they were a good band
@@jamesfitzgerald6636 also stairway to heaven was nicked from spirit's taurus. randy california's estate tried to get their day in court, but they lost. jimmy page (and robert plant) were notorious grave robbers of other people's material. usually it was poor black musicians who couldnt afford to take them to court. the lemon song is basically the killing floor, just named something else with jimmy page and robert plants name on it

The Peddlers made one super record, the Irving Berlin song, “What’ll I Do”.
Very surprised he didn't know Fairport Convention from the off.
Sandy Denny would later appear on Zep IV on the tune Battle of Evermore. Wonder if the inspiration derived from this Blind Date.

I can't agree with Jimmy on the subject of The Peddlers, Lok shen Pudding and Tell The World We're Not In are class. Sorry Jim!
Eddie Lang sounds like early Stones, I bet Brian had heard of him. Lol.
which Les Paul song was that?
Can't you upload newspaper with The Doors and Deep Purple?
You Left One Out, He Reviewed Simply Orange, No Pulp Orange Juice. He said "Wow, I've Never Had Orange Juice Without pulp. I can tell it has none, is it Simply Orange? Yeah, I could tell pretty good considering it has a more sugar than the stuff you get at the farmer's market. I could be wrong, but it feels more like Simply Orange. It Is? It's pretty good, but to sugary. But if you hate pulp I'd suggest getting it. Pulp doesn't bother me, and once I was able to get some no pulp Orange Juice at a Market. But I prefer normal Orange Juice."
Wonder which Pretty Things track with a wah wah organ Page meant .
There might be a lot of sound experimenting going on in 'SF Sorrow' ,but even there I can't recognise this Peddlers organ ...
.....more like in this link from "Locomotive - Mr. Armageddon"👉🏼ruclips.net/video/KPcpijwo7hg/видео.html
That's a really cool song. I wasn't familiar with it, great stuff. I'm guessing Jimmy meant "Defecting Grey". You can hear a weird wah wah organ in certain parts of the song.
Jimmy Page hadn’t heard of Eddie Lang??
Shame on him
Knowing how Jimmy speaks in this day I could have heard him in my head as I read the paragraphs. Unfortunately this guy speaks nothing like Jimmy. But I suppose it’s nice to have somebody read to you.
his voice during younger days were even softer😂
I love jimmy and i love this series and i love les paul, but that particular track , umm no.....alot of great artists in this episode tho
3:37 I used to say the same thing about modern days guitar heroes, Satriani, Vai... they have too basic rhythm sections, utterly boring... you can tell they didn't care much about arrangements.
Only the best 'frontline' players get the Likes of
Marcus Miller 5str bass
John Pattitucci 6s bass …
Where was this music released, Mars? Never heard any of it here in the US.
all released here....problem was radio airplay
dont get me started on that
Girlie was a big hit...Delia Morris
“She sounds too old to be singing. Maybe around 18, 19. Get her off the speakers.”
Pô, não tem graça, cada canção mais esquisita, do que a outra!
3:05 sounds like Yes rejigged this song to make The Clap. I wonder if Jimmy was annoyed that they beat him to it LOL?
WHOA!!! Jimmy is a damn historian! He misses nothing!
as a side note, after listening, jimmy page lifted and "borrowed" the riffs and arrangements from these records...
😂
So true! All musicians are influenced by other musicians but to steal and not give credit says a lot about the character of a man! I mean Dazed and Confused for instance! Jesus! Jake Holmes got his day in court not long ago! They nicked lyrics from 3 different songs for 1 track! Ridiculous as they were a good band
@@jamesfitzgerald6636 also stairway to heaven was nicked from spirit's taurus. randy california's estate tried to get their day in court, but they lost. jimmy page (and robert plant) were notorious grave robbers of other people's material. usually it was poor black musicians who couldnt afford to take them to court. the lemon song is basically the killing floor, just named something else with jimmy page and robert plants name on it
@@ryrythefryguy4645 no it wasnt. Stairway is nothing like the spirit song - if you listen past the first four notes
@@richardsinger01 yeah the people who say it was a rip off just completely forget about the LYRICS, MELODY ETC its ridiculous, stairway to heaven is a masterpiece
Washboard? Did he mean a washboard played as an instrument? I can’t hear it.
Yes.
@@YesterdaysPapers Thx. I'm still surprised. I didn't expect him to comment about that.
I'm sure Jimmy enjoyed listening to other people's tunes. A great library to steal from.
Who is it that Jimmy sez will never top Les Paul ?
The peddlers are not peddling anything that Jimmy Page wants peddled (pedaled?)
disappointing there's no Paco de Lucia amongst his fav records, obviously not his type of music
These are not his favourite records. They are just records he was asked to review.
Being a guy who does not care about anything, i like ducks but wish they wouldn't shit every place, i had a few over for a party and they just let it go, no more.
