[AstonnMartin2003]

Well it's a live and who knows what Jimmy may had been "drinking." Jimmy is much more than just a guitarist, he's a God!

[SIXCONSECUTIVETIMEZ]

[ambereyes46]

I was there and it was incredible!

[jipak93]

How did the place not implode from so much awesomeness?

[marebrillante]

UNO DEI PIU BELLI PEZZI DELLA MUSICA ROCK

SENZA OMBRA DI DUBBIO!!!

[22skid00]

I was there at M.S.G. in "83.That is Jimmy's voice and It is not a tribute band.

[mickygee50]

ITS A BIT MESSED UP SHAME,IT AINT GETTING THERE !!!

[mason0316]

I love Jimmy Page and I am a BIG Led Zeppelin fan, but this sounds like SHIT! SAD..... I'm glad he came out of his addiction!

[gtarczar]

I was there!

[Dougdenslowe]

No video?

[TheBrucelog]

I was there. Didn't know this existed. Me, my brother, and Tom A. I do believe. We were in the Navy at Moffett Field, VP-9.

[dan32113]

@TheBrucelog there is a DVD of this concert on Amazon

[mamamia11296]

@TheBrucelog Wow that makes more of us, just found this on the tube, I was there , Most impressive show I have ever seen live! People there had an incredible vibe ....

Like it was just ment to be... I remember an old blues song "going down" Jeff Beck did, with company, just blew me away...

Rock on all....

[nachoisone]

So The Yardbirds play stairway to heaven?

[marcotte521]

12 people are taking the stairwell to hell.

[AceKing47]

Guys, you need to see the videos of Page for this concert, especially for the one on the 8th at Madison Square Gardens. He was doped out of his mind, and I'm sure he was this night too. /watch?v=x9uDEstVpX0&feature=r­elated to see the video of it, it's the very last song, starts at around 1:33:00. Anyway, I'm sorry to say it, but Page sucked at this solo. He was not being inventive or artful by being sloppy, he was being fucked up with heroin. This was absolutely pitiful.

[MrGarrington120]

@AceKing47 Get a life you sad bitch

[millerhighlife2112]

BEST SONG EVER

[kimmycurious2626]

Do you people ever get along?

[79tazman]

3 guitar greats how awesome is this

[claptongroupie]

I've got this dvd and this doesn't sound like it....

[daDuke42]

best version of this song ever

absolutely perfect

[ColtonSaylor713]

thank goodness for erics play at the end or the solo wouldve been a complete loss. even though you can barely hear it at times.

[TheJRHINTON]

You are listening to a junkie. Drugs are very damaging, wouldn't you agree?

[goshawk1974]

@TheJRHINTON It might sound like I'm going "FULL RETARD" here, but I'm glad heroin was invented. Some of the best music was a result of the product!

[KingJulienDavid]

@goshawk1974 This song was written way before Jimmy Page started with heroin, and this concert was 3 years after it completely fucked him up. On the last 2 Led Zeppelin albums John Paul Jones and Robert Plant did almost all of the songwriting because Page was a wreck at that time. And Page hasn't written a good song since.

[goshawk1974]

@KingJulienDavid Sure, I agree.

[DetestProtest]

I've always sort of held with the idea that in music, if you wrote the damn song, then you can't produce any mistakes. You may slander those who use variations under the presumption that they're trying to live in the shadow of the recording. But in reality, the only mistakes are empty notes witch aren't attached to any particular aim or emotion, and that doesn't depict Jimmy's playing by any means.

[MrJeffnagel]

This show was not at the Cow Palace it was at the San Francisco Civic. Now called the Bill Graham Memorial Auditoriam.

[bmtink]

@MrJeffnagel cow palace

[faltenpitt]

3 Gods of Guitar on the same stage. Ahh, I've got riff orgasm..

[Grovesgeo]

i was there in awe of all the talent had seen them all at 1 time or another this is the only song that gave me a headache. and yes jeff beck put on the best performance.

[scottduncan44]

since the old Led Zepplin days I have not heard Jimmy Page play anything that wasn't sloppy and full of mistakes. Its like he just doesn't pick up the guitar very often. His hands seem to remember some of the parts but not all of them. Its to bad. Beck is better than ever and Clapton is still on the road with Steve winwood playing the blues. Jimmy who was the most succesful of all that generation of great rock guitarists just doesn't seem to care unless he's ill.

[muchohucho]

this was such an awesome concert, wish I had a video of it, or even a bootleg, or anything, like this... such an incredible experience, from about row 20, will never forget (and yes, Beck blew them all away!)

[130762joelaso]

joel solis from monterrey mexico

[130762joelaso]

wow...........................­....Iloveit



[liberatedanimal]

Somebody actually said to me the other day,"Jimmy Page is not one of the best guitarists of all time." Mo fo almost got smacked.

[ambereyes46]

I was at this concert! It was incredible...and at the Cow Palace, no less!

[O0Salmon0O]

Page always sucked doing this live with a 12-string electric.

He should have done it on acoustic.

[PBANDSNOW]

@O0Salmon0O No, actually he hasn't "always sucked" for the most part he was fantastic. Heroin is the only reason he couldn't play well from 1977-1983, and this is right after the withdrawl. Watch any Zeppelin from 69-75 and he can improv for 30 minutes without missing a single note, 12 string included.

[PBANDSNOW]

@67goldtops Do you even have a life?

Honesty, the nerve of some people.

[PBANDSNOW]

@67goldtops Actually, I don't read your messages, this is the first one I have, and I don't know what your talking about, I assume you want to hear a 30 minute solo.

Stop writing me, do something to better yourself that isn't wasting my valuable time.

Oh, and my proof is actually a 45 minute solo, not a 30 minute solo, look up "Dazed and Confused Earls Court 1975"

[Matthew9444]

@PBANDSNOW D&C at Earls Court was 35 mins at max usually with a bit of chatter included which wasn't part of the song, it never reached 45 in EC.

[O0Salmon0O]

@PBANDSNOW You missed the point. Jimmy Page is and has always been one of the sloppiest guitarists recorded in the studio and live. He makes errors every time he plays. But that is not what I was referring to. Performing STH using an electric 12-string SUCKS especially solo like this. There was no good reason not to use an acoustic. The song never sounded good using that 12-string electric. It SUCKS!

[PBANDSNOW]

@O0Salmon0O It sucks? Is that why it is by far the most famous song of all time?

[TheHopefullMusician]

@O0Salmon0O you should know that the only reason jimmy used the double neck was because he needed the six string electric and a 12 string without the trouble of switching between guitars during a concert.

[sainekan]

@O0Salmon0O haha it's true that he is a very sloppie guitarist, live and in the studio.

but its nog because he is a bad guitarist, it's because that is his style. he has a very loose style of playing which i think is very awesome. but it's absolutely not true that that makes him a bad player, having your own style is what distincts you a a guitarist. 

[sainekan]

and TheHopefullMusician is right: he only used a 12 string because the intro quote: "demanded" that sound and the rest of the song (especially the solo) required a 6 string.

[gtrrobster]

@sainekan

Wel....I like Page a lot. Especially his acoustic work which is pretty clean and even flawless. But saying:" but its nog because he is a bad guitarist, it's because that is his style."

Is like saying the guy that scorches and burns his his food does not do so because he is a bad chef, but that is just his stlye of cooking :)

Phys Graf remains one of my favorite guitar albums of all time. Slop and All.

[swlabr43]

This is YouTube, For all we know this could have been an audiotape of a tribute band,

[sueellen360]

@swlabr43 well, it's not

[nerdflanders8710]

@sueellen360 sounds totally gay

[DannyReggin]

@swlabr43 considering all 3 of these guys were in the same band, its not really hard to believe they got together at a fundraising concert to rock out on the most requested song of all time....

[toddlertom01]

@swlabr43 No, this is the one played by them mate. Only Page could make such a mistakes.

[greatcornholio]

@swlabr43 If you listen you can hear Robert Plant in short sections

[ahsdrumline2011]

@swlabr43 if you know anything about these three guitarists, which apparently you dont, then you would recognize their unique guitar tones. Its pretty obvious this is not an audiotape of a tribute band.

[Freakishd]

@swlabr43

It's not. If you dig around enough, you can find the video of Jimmy speaking into the mic at the very beginning

[terzolilu]

@swlabr43 yeah you're right. It's me on guitar

[ledzeppelin1023]

Jimmy was blown out of his mind lmao in his own world he thought he was being god but really he was putting on his worst performance of all time

[necklix]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­z

[bambhieblue68]

nice...

[SUAVE287]

your a lil bitch if you dont like this song

[xptwillie]

@SUAVE287 relax dude. even Robert hated singing this song at the O2 concert. Thus the joke about, "Hey Ahmet, we did it!"

[bamboosa]

Don't get me wrong - I love Eric (sometimes), Jeff, Jimmy, Zep. I hate this song.

[bamboosa]

Eric pulls off his bit, at the end, quite nicely.

[bamboosa]

How drunk does Jimmy have to be to play "that"?

[JimmyPage968]

This is at San Francisco, December 02, 1983 I believe. I have this concert recording.

[BROKENDOGG]

saw them in los angeles back then,, BEST concert i've been to. so much talent on stage, and no ego's. though jimmy was drunk and tryin to play with his bottle of beer. think eric and jeff unplugged him.

[rfsorrenti]

Thats one of the best concerts ever... The first one, at the Royal Albert Hall, as Eric Clapton himself wrote in his autobiography, was THE best... aftert all, they were doing something for a friend of theirs - Ronnie Lane - and there was no ego envolved.. Just music.

Thanks for uploading this awesome audio.

Sorry my crapy english!
