i saw the firm back in 84 in nj. whenever jimmy page comes out on stage the place always goes nuts. saw him with the blackcrows in nj also same thing, place wents nuts.after zeppelin when jimmy did his solo stuff it was always magic. this guy is a rock legend..
i remember my friend not caring much for Page until i played this for him. i had it on a large 45 with this and city cirens on one side and a long version of radioactive on the other side. still have it. don't play it anymore since the turntable is put up. i do get in my nastalgic moods and hook it up sometimes. i imagine i'm back in time and jammin' out to this on the turntable. miss the teenage years sometimes. what's happened to music these days?
I'm a huge Jimmy fan...I remember hearing the studio version of this when it came out and thinking that it was the best solo that Jimmy had done since Zep. He always knew how to structure his solos, to the point where even if he was sloppy, he still took you on a journey with it.
Saw the Firm in Atlanta in 1986 . I laughed when my young wife asked why was he playing guitar with a bow . They were awesome as was Jimmy on Raleigh NC in 1999 with the Black Crowes .
agree...i saw The Firm in Houston, Tx in '85 and '86...my first two concerts respectively...the 85 show blew me away. I was such a Zep Head at the time...5th row floor seats, Houston Summit...unbelievable experience. Not Zeppelin, but to me, a goofy 17 year old kid, it was as close as I ever got to the mighty zep.
i'll never forget a friend of mine not very much into Page because he was into the 80's hair and metal bands. then he heard this solo and said "man! he's good". this is about the time when Page started to have a slight chinese look about him.
Here's what kills me, tickets to see the Firm went on sale in Canada way back in 1986 and before i had a chance to buy them the concert got cancelled. I never did see them live but man i sure would have loved to have seen them. I wish they would have stayed together as i think they were really great. At least we got two albums out of them!!!!
a masterpiece. There is to thank Paul Rodgers for having persuaded Jimmy to get back into the game, and since today is his birthday happy birthday Mr. Rodgers!
yeah, you're right. but Paul Rodgers take him to the studio, and a new album. Beck and Clapton are real Jimmy's friend, and yes we have to say thanks to them both ;)
Thank you for putting this and the other Firm vids on the tube....Awesome and underrated band. Some of Jimmy's prettiest playing is on those 2 Firm discs and of course Rodgers delivers on vocals and Slade and Franklin are great musicians!
They should've been huge! they made great music and yes...For gods sake...Paul Rodgers voice and Jimmy Page on guitar and Chris Slade on drums!! Freakin Awesome sounding!!!
@doable1 You want "old"? My earliest rock memory is seeing The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. They made such an impression that I remembered the video when I saw it a couple of years ago on RUclips!
I've seen Jimmy 3 times, Arms tour in 83, first firm tour in 84 and with Robert in 98 I got lucky and Jimmy burned each time of course all of them were in the LA area and he likes it here. I love this version Jimmy is tortured and his guitar is bleeding- wonderful passion. Yeah Paul used the outro from a Bad co song for this one even on Mean Business but I forgive him.(he plagerized himself on piano)
@elcherner I also saw them at the Byrne Arena. Remember the laser beams all around Jimmy when he pulled out the bow & did his solo. That was awesome. I also remember he had to sit down as I guess his legs were real bad at the time.
They did not play Dazed and Confused. Jimmy did what was the later years Zeppelin version of the bow solo from Dazed and Confused. Their standard setlist didn't change much night to night. No Zeppelin and no Bad Co.
I tried to enter a one character comment and youtube doesn't allow it. Let me answer the question posed by the title of the song as succinctly as I can... $ and that's the answer to nearly every question.
Page/Paul made some great music. Midnight ML was a masterpiece. However, I feel they had no on-stage chemistry and remained aloof. Plus Paul has a Big ego. However, I can see Paul being a part of the New Led Zeppelin ;)
Paul doesn't look anything like this anymore, he's got a fake piece on his head that's colored completely wrong (as well as his beard), I don't understand it. He is AWESOME! I don't know why he wants to look like someone who is trying so hard to look young.
Money? lol.. What world do you live in? Money is the reason we can't live in peace? Not even close. How about religion? My God is better then your God. That is why we can't live in peace. Has nothing to do with money.
I'll have to say I was not impressed with the show I saw. For one thing, Jimmy was so wasted they had to bring a chair on stage because he couldn't stand up, and me and a friend were pushed against the stage, and my friend had to be pulled out by security because she couldn't breathe. We spent most of the show at first aid....I'll enjoy on here and on cd; I will not pay to see them again in any capacity.
that page solo was one of the best i ever heard. page just has this magic when he gets into his solos.unreal guitar playing.
Yes, what a great band and a great tune. The message is current 20 years later, unfortunately. Simply magic. Page is the man.
I look around the world today and from the first time I heard this song "Live In Peace" back in 1983 the lyrics still haunt me.....
Kids, this is why Jimmy is Jimmy, and Jimmy is the man.

i tell ya i listen to this and posted a few times. jimmy solo is just so moving. i cant get enough of this song. firm rocked.
I'm a huge Jimmy fan...I remember hearing the studio version of this when it came out and thinking that it was the best solo that Jimmy had done since Zep. He always knew how to structure his solos, to the point where even if he was sloppy, he still took you on a journey with it.
I saw the Firm in "86" Ther best concert I ever saw! They even did Dazed and Confused! Amazing!
Saw the Firm in Atlanta in 1986 . I laughed when my young wife asked why was he playing guitar with a bow . They were awesome as was Jimmy on Raleigh NC in 1999 with the Black Crowes .
Never understood why they did not get become huge. Page and Rodgers together were awesome!
Jimmy is beyond musical genius.
Great song from a great band
agree...i saw The Firm in Houston, Tx in '85 and '86...my first two concerts respectively...the 85 show blew me away. I was such a Zep Head at the time...5th row floor seats, Houston Summit...unbelievable experience. Not Zeppelin, but to me, a goofy 17 year old kid, it was as close as I ever got to the mighty zep.
Saw them in 85 and 86 in Landover, Md. All were amazing and Tony Franklin was sick.
Saw them in Cleveland...Awesome Group, Awesome Show!
i'll never forget a friend of mine not very much into Page because he was into the 80's hair and metal bands. then he heard this solo and said "man! he's good". this is about the time when Page started to have a slight chinese look about him.
I saw them live in LA. Wow, incredible. Such talent.
man just watching jimmy getting ready to do a solo is mind blowing.
Here's what kills me, tickets to see the Firm went on sale in Canada way back in 1986 and before i had a chance to buy them the concert got cancelled. I never did see them live but man i sure would have loved to have seen them. I wish they would have stayed together as i think they were really great. At least we got two albums out of them!!!!
Comrick317 , I saw them in the old Boston Garden in April of 1986. The poster of this video is wrong about the timeline.
a masterpiece. There is to thank Paul Rodgers for having persuaded Jimmy to get back into the game, and since today is his birthday happy birthday Mr. Rodgers!
Actually it was J Beck & E Clapton who got Jimmy out and back in the game, To play for the Arms Concert in 1983, Then he went to The Firm
yeah, you're right. but Paul Rodgers take him to the studio, and a new album. Beck and Clapton are real Jimmy's friend, and yes we have to say thanks to them both ;)
I saw The Firm in Detroit in 1985 and 1986.
I saw this tour.
Paul Rodgers was amazing.
Love this tune!
Yes, this is an original song by Paul Rodgers...equally great on his solo album Break Lose. Amazing!
Man does jimmy and Paul have an amazing musical connection genius Indeed!
One of the greatest solos by anyone!
This is a great guitar solo.
Thank you for putting this and the other Firm vids on the tube....Awesome and underrated band. Some of Jimmy's prettiest playing is on those 2 Firm discs and of course Rodgers delivers on vocals and Slade and Franklin are great musicians!
The Frim, was a hit or miss group, but when they did good work -- it was damn good...
They should've been huge! they made great music and yes...For gods sake...Paul Rodgers voice and Jimmy Page on guitar and Chris Slade on drums!! Freakin Awesome sounding!!!
Fucking incredible. Seen this live way back when.
So good.

@ZoSoRecords
They had an opening act at Kemper in 86. I can't remember who it was but they were playing when I found my seat.
I read or heard an interview with Page that the Firm were only supposed to do about two or three albums. It was to be a short project.
HE JUST STANDS THERE AND JAMS , FUKIN A !!!
wow,thank you for such a rare masterpiece
Go Jimmy! Luv it!
Listen to Paul's Guitar solo in original version.
@elcherner I also saw them at the Byrne Arena. Remember the laser beams all around Jimmy when he pulled out the bow & did his solo. That was awesome. I also remember he had to sit down as I guess his legs were real bad at the time.
Happy Birthday Paul :)
Greatness
Jimmy Page is the greatest!
The best thing the Firm ever did... Potential unmet unfortunately!
Studio version is on Paul's solo lp Cut Loose but the Firm Ep version is better.
Does anyone have the lyrics of this song? I liked it when paul rodgers did it on his solo album Fragile and played on all instruments.
Why do Firm's albums has to be so freaking expensive in Sweden?! I'm going to look for them once I get to NEw york :)
One problem.....this song and the album 'Mean Business'weren't released until early 1986. Your timeline is wrong!
Correct.. this was done live before it was released 2 years later on Mean Business :)
Jimmy at his best, add paul Rogers, yeess🎶🎶🎶
They did not play Dazed and Confused. Jimmy did what was the later years Zeppelin version of the bow solo from Dazed and Confused. Their standard setlist didn't change much night to night. No Zeppelin and no Bad Co.
@sbridgefield
Page used a chair for ONR song....the beginning of MIDNIGHT MOOLIGHT....just as he did when he was tenty five with WHITE SUMMRT
*Smirk*
Correction: "THE FIRM..."
The Firms concerts were sellouts;album sales were slack.
this song is bad ass fuck''
@hazor777 Maybe they'll be ripe for rediscovery some day.
I tried to enter a one character comment and youtube doesn't allow it. Let me answer the question posed by the title of the song as succinctly as I can... $ and that's the answer to nearly every question.
the camera man seems to be avoiding Jimmy! and more fascinated with the bald head
looks like the drummer from AC/DC
It is
Seek help. :-)
Page/Paul made some great music. Midnight ML was a masterpiece. However, I feel they had no on-stage chemistry and remained aloof. Plus Paul has a Big ego.
However, I can see Paul being a part of the New Led Zeppelin ;)
Paul doesn't look anything like this anymore, he's got a fake piece on his head that's colored completely wrong (as well as his beard), I don't understand it. He is AWESOME! I don't know why he wants to look like someone who is trying so hard to look young.
