Coverdale - Page - Rehearsal (Japan Tour 1993)

[JimmyPageAddict]

I am not a violent woman, BUT, every time I see Coverdale I wanna slug him.

[jonsilence]

Without trying to be a clone, Carmassi is the closest thing to Bonham we'll ever see.

[RoamingTheBiosphere]

This is classic stuff. These two guys were perfect for each other. I have to say - I wish they had stayed together rather than seeing Jimmy get back together with Robert. Take it as a statement that this guy liked the NEW and FRESH sound these two created. OK, the middle eastern thing was pretty cool for Page and Plant, but it was not like this stuff here with Coverdale. Either way, we won, but I just think that these two had more stuff in them than what we saw.

[weavermomo]

Best guitarist ever!

[55Diddley]

Jimmy Page is so cool.What great timing. If you were to put him together with Jeff Beck you would have a great guitar orchestra of a show.

[Cincinnatus1869]

david coverdale has really played with some fantastic guirarists thru the yrs .! blackmore sykes page bolin campbell etc . thats amazing

[morleygrey]

He is 49 here....And it's only a "REHEARSAL"....Holy crap!!!!!!

[Alxscode]

C'mon guys cut Coverdale some slack. He's awesome too.

[freedomboy2006]

Fuckin hell, Jimmy is on fire......... what a fuckin legend!!!!!!!!!! Biggest mistake he ever made teaming up with Coverdale........ he's like a Robert Plant Caricature! This footage is legendary though. Nice one.

[MrAndersoncouncil]

@freedomboy2006 Robert 'Spinal' Tap.

[theplanetking]

Hey look ladies, David Coverdale's LEGS !!

[PEDROCLASSIC]

the first song is called "feeling hot"... in my time of dying ...Robert is much better fit for this song..david rocks too

[corr279]

Awesome stuff

[tammysyl]

Great performance! And David is undoubtedly the best. Yes, even in a rehearsal and dressed like that, he is the best.

[davemis40]

Page is playing well in this. Great video, a real treat.

[vracan]

Page gave me shivers(the good kind) when I was 12 and he still gives me shivers now at 45. I picked up the guitar then and NEVER let go of it!

[prestonm19]

@vracan oh yeah, I get those shivers too - n I'm a Mom of 4.........rock me baby!

[prestonm19]

@vracan

[myhorse3]

Enchanting ^_^

[90zosoman09]

Jimmy Page is my favorite and hes playing real fucking fast hehehe. I dont always like the fast shit but when he does it it kicks ass and its kinda funny to hear people say it needs to be slow. Well guess wut it needs to be slow sometimes and fast sometimes, and you need to start doing the fast the right way.

[vracan]

@90zosoman09

Page is a master of this fast/slow dynamic playing!

[coltsuperocean10]

Mr Page is on very good form here, Ive never seen him use that many marshalls before!!

[pcollenYT]

haha..do you REALLY think he is 'using' all those Marshalls, except as a backdrop.

[coltsuperocean10]

pcollenYT, its called sarcasm you dickhead!!

[henrytdsimmons]

i think he is because from what i can glean about his personality as a mere mortal i think that he is quite a modest person who doesn't want to show off too much

[kaykay524]

Jimmy Page RULES

[SacramentoSalmonator]

Gibson Cherry Sunburst and Marshall stacks = NO SUBSTITUTE......

[vince33450]

Cool la Danelectro :D

[rocknrollman1234]

LOL!!!!

[ritchie63]

blackmore is by far better than page

[incubus990]

every one was talanted by his own right !

[scarfacedan09]

Blackmore and Page are both INCREDIBLE musicians but until they start copying each others styles dont judge.

[da324]

my dad can beat up your dad lol!!!

[FeanorLives]

Plant was much better in his day than Coverdale was in his.I saw both in concert and Coverdale couldn't keep up imao.Coverdale kept screwing up throughout the whole show while Plant was smooth and on target with his stuff.Both have different styles but I prefer Plant over Coverdale because when Plant was in his prime,NO ONE COULD TOUCH HIM!!!

[2bullitt]

ok. at this stage of the video, its rehearsing. jimmi is on and replacement doesnt have a freikin clue as to what the next word is. i bought this album, and it was good. pagey had to put up with this stuff and others. now comes the time when all in zep are available, and jason is at his best. no brain. i know robert is tied to another tour and he will tell you,he cant go on. allison,please let him tour. people tell me that chris robinson will take on the lead of this tour. if it gets going.

[boldvar]

Awesome

[MeanMrMustard99]

The Coverdale/Page album was amazing. I wish Page did another album with Coverdale rather then re-hatch the same old tunes with Plant.

I thought Page and Plant was a great fit and would love to one day hear the tunes that didn't make their album.

[NJFastEddie]

Forget about the Plant/Coverdale comparisons...just listen to Pagey in rehearsals! This is just fantastic! I could watch this kind of stuff regarding Jimmy Page all day! He is the best...period! I would rather take a tad sloppy over boring (did somebody say Clapton??? Yikes!) PS I like Clapton but Page has offered much more in terms of guitar styles so let's just leave it at that!

[rockerbestial]

FOR THOSE WHO SAY THAT COVERDALE's STYLE IS BASED ON PLANT's STYLE : LISTEN : MISTREATED,SAIL AWAY,BURN,Might JUST TAKE YOUR LIFE,STORMBRINGER,SOLDIER OF FORTUNE ,HERE I GO AGAIN ,IS THIS LOVE etc and you will see that Coverdale has his own style,and you will also understand that plant will never be able to sing those songs .

[dinkydao]

DIO sure nailed Mistreated on the Rainbow live album though. I prefer that one over the Coverdale versions.

[loudflowr]

Pagey's awesome axe slinging, DC's blues-chilling voice & sexy gams...Mercy, gurl needs a cold shower!

[corr279]

fuckin great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Smoothways]

Jesus f***** Christ - wonder how much of the Marshal Tower he is really using - still Led Z without Jon Bonham is just not the same...

[cesarzepp]

David CoverPlant..

[Onewhoislove]

Great post and find. If Plant could only see what was going on for himself at that time he would've known that he didn't have anything to worry about with David, because they're really miles apart.

[maddmannik]

hoooooooly shiiiiit!!!!!!

[JRMX250]

Jimmy sounds really great in this rehersal. Hope I can find a live version of this on here. Shame Coverdale Page didn't take off in the states. I had tickets, but was 1 of the few who bought them. The tour was canceled.

[Jasong9573]

Kick ass. Where did this come from?

[PurplesnakeSite]

Jasong9573, from Purplesnake Site.

But the site is not available by now.

[warmambereyes]

awesome

Jimmy you rock my world!!!!!!

[sinatraandaerosmith]

I heard the album today for the first time: it's amazing. As good as Zep basically, but the cover may be what held it back.... until now!

[roverboy4]

sounds sooo sweeettt!

[LoganUpABongHit]

Sounds pretty damn good to me!

[gomame67]

Mr.Page is GREAT !

[chilliwhiggerE]

Sykes who? Somebody pass me a paper towel there is some excess moisture in my pants. In my time of dying #1 tour de force of tempo chances. Page is an immortal genius.

[jacelep]

Hmmm lets compare Sykes in his prime v.s Page in his prime. No Comparison!!!!! And while sykes is more technical, he has no soul compared to Page

[muckybyrd69]

Jim should never have done this. Coverdale is not Plant and John Sykes would piss all over JP as a guitrist

[quathar]

Exactly, Coverdale far surpasses Plant as a vocalist, atleast judging on power and tone of voice, where Coverdale sounds like a man, and Plant as a hysterical schoolgirl. There is no comparison.

[vettezeppelin]

Oh spare me the comparing Coverdale to Plant..Coverdale is a copy and Plant is the original. Plus Coverdale writes simple schoolboy cum in his pants lyrics and yes he can scream while Plant sings plus Plant knows when not to sing unlike Coverdale who always has his hole going in live shows. That doesn't mean I don't like Coverdale he's just not Plant. Plant, Mercury, Rodgers are the top rung of vocalists...Coverdale is a distant second tier singer.

[oliviaangel02]

Coverdale is not a copy, since when is it a fucking crime to sing someone elses songs?? They are two different singers, both equally good. Just different. Coverdale rocks. Plant rocks. Listen to WS's new Album and tell me he writes schoolboy cum songs. Grow up and speak like an adult.

[Priole2000]

There's simply no way Coverdale surpasses Plant in ANYTHING as a vocalist...not his voice, not his lyrics, not class, nothing. I actually like the Coverdale/Page album A LOT more than most people do, since it wasn't rated very highly, but that doesn't mean I'd ever prefer Coverdale in Plant's place...no fuckin' way.

[oliviaangel02]

Where the fuck is Plant, is he touring for the last 5 years??? Does he have another top charting album out?? NO he is singing country fucking songs!! Get a grip will ya? COVERDALE IS THE BEST-JUST DEAL WITH IT.

[Priole2000]

Wow, are you really that stupid, OliviaAngel02? Plant's album with Alison Krauss went Plantinum and hit #2 in the charts both here in the States and in the UK. They're currently on tour for it. Before that, he was touring with Strange Sensations for the 'Might Rearranger' album. Please, research your shit before opening your big dumb fucking mouth.

[oliviaangel02]

What the hell Plant went country what does that tell ya!! Hes a sell out he should of stayed w/good ole rock n roll. So whatever makes you feel better. WHITESNAKE RULES. GROW UP!!!

[Priole2000]

Oh ok...so Plant has a successful album out and that makes him a sell out?! Hahaha, oh jesus freakin' christmas, this girl is insane. What does that make Coverdale then, a fucking loser? He's hasn't been near the top of the charts in YEARS! Hahaha!

[DirtyDeck]

He's not just singin his songs man, his whole singing style is based on Robert Plant. I'm not gonna say rip-off but its obvious to anybody with an ear and some sense that Coverdale is mainly influenced by Robert Plant - he even looks like him! But I spose its flattering for Plant - imitation is the first sign of greatness.

[oliviaangel02]

I agree he may have looked up to Robert Plant. Your right its a great compliment. David has his own style too, but its a Plant song & yes he is singing it the same way. I like Plant a hell of a lot, but for me Coverdale just moves me. Different era's, different times. Its all good, ITS MUSIC!!! WHO DOESN'T LOVE THAT. LONG LIVE THEM ALL.

[da324]

Yes, many riffs stand out to me that Sykes came up with, NOT! Fucking funny dude!

[JimmyGianlu]

JIMMY I LOVE YOU!!!

DAVID I LOVE YOU!!!

[dockaiser]

awful

[carlos13fred]

fantastic

[CraterAE]

Five stars for Page

[ZoraPan1985]

Great version of the classic zep song. Great performance from Sir Page. Stunnig vocals from David Coverdale one of the best screamers in the fuckin world.

[Zboots]

Awesome find, credible effort by the band but I do so miss Bonzo's heaviness.

[Zboots]

I mean incredible 8)

[enlightening]

Love Coverdale singning In my Time of Dying!!

[zeppo20]

mastering the slide, Man you are the best.

[rokarolla]

Best I've heard Coverdale sing ever.

[81percy]

I think I see leg warmers. What a douche.

[DaveSargent]

Is Coverdale wearing batting gloves and hi-tops? Where'd he come from, the batting cage?

[b8ey5]

Awesome!

[vdbdg]

amazing Page, fantastic video
