Eric Clapton & Jimmy Page - Miles road (1965) (Audio only)

[cgabler91191]

What a cool duet! I wish to hear more of this and more Page playing as well.  Maybe Page, Beck and Clapton, with Robert Plant doing a vocal.

Thank you!

[domtsmith]

I grew up listening Zeppelin, now I have bought a house in Miles Rd, Epsom.

Anyone know what number he lived at?

p.s. I have a friend with ginger hair who lives at no. 69

[GuitarPhi1]

and Eric Clapton is always going to be in a top 1-3 top guitarist catagory for 100s of years hes just so easy to get lost in his guitar solos now Jimmi Hendrix i wouldn't play at my grandmothers funeral or a wedding but I could find songs like stairway to heaven , thank you , the rain song , wonderful tonight , layla and wonderfultonight. Purplehaze wouldn't fit littlewing might but alot of his work about that special effect not his playing which was still great I still love Hendrix hes #3 to me

[GuitarPhi1]

Listen I like Hendrix and all but musically I think more people were connected to Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton's guitar solos more soloful and not about just getting effects and saying wow that guy must be on alot of drugs cool! But seriously tho Page is my favorite guitarist in his PRIME he was untouchable he made so many great songs and live he made it a new song everytime you could sit on youtube for hours looking up stairway to heaven live an it will sound diffrent everytime

Jesus & God

[moonlightsea8]

Oh, I agree, Page was sloppy...Hendrix third?? hmmm, ok. And I guess the Soft Machine wasn't so "soft!!!

[moonlightsea8]

Sloppiness is part of what made these things magic. Blues is not about "clean" or "different" or anything like that. True blues is a musicians music, an expression of the soul, never quite the same, always slightly different...

[TOOMUCHTlME]

@moonlightsea8 As I mentioned in my original comment, Page was indeed a studio musician, but was considered by his peers to be a sloppy musician. It's all in print. I was not knocking Page, just commenting. I've been lucky enough to have seen Clapton, Hendrix, and Page live. While you can't judge exclusively from one certain show, I'd place Clapton at top, Page second, and Hendrix third. In fairness, at Hendrix's show, the PA had been damaged by the Soft Machine, the opening act.

[TOOMUCHTlME]

@moonlightsea8 In terms of their lasting impact on guitar playing, I'd place Hendrix first, Clapton second, and Page last when considering strictly these three.

[murmeltier651]

Blues vom besten! Thank you Bob!!!!

[zeppelin1996]

Clapton's tone is amazing.

[TacomaPaul]

I used to have a FOUR-Track tape of Anthology of British Blues !

Looked like an Eight-track tape... but Channel one played left speaker of Channel two (full sound) and Channel four played right speaker of Channel three (full sound).Channels 2 and 3 were basically side one and two of the album.

Crazy.

[GuitarPhi1]

My two favorite guitarist

[monkspriestsandhorse]

ERIC AND JIMMY CAN SHINE ON THE SAME PAGE..

[shiegers]

I listened to this record everyday in my youth. Very nice!!

[weavermomo]

Jimmy Page is so riveting & charismatic to watch live, like no other guitarist has ever been IMO.

[ward1957]

OOoh this is damn sweet......love Jimmy Page...:) ♥

[grizzlytomahawk]

You know Jimmy is probably my favorite rock guitarist but sometimes his playing can sound a bit sloppy.

[groovy56]

@grizzlytomahawk Yes; my favorite too, and yet in concert I agree he can be sloppy at times but I always wondered if it was perhaps that he came on stage really wasted or something.

[tylerduncan1089]

@groovy56 honestly i think it was sloppy cause everynight it was different. He could of learned how to play it one way and made it clean.

[london2z]

Clapton was good at basic blues- type chords and melodies, wheras Jimmy could play more diverse and complex styles of guitar. Jimmy was and is above the rest.

[mrXXrauf182XX]

@london2z jimmy is better then clapton but clapton is way more blues then jimmy and no one will top hendrix . jimi hendrix is a guitar god .

[stage462]

Comments like these just degenerate quickly , why not keep to music. its just jam session.

[beachbum4166]

@stage462 No, you just don't get it. In the third bar, Eric plays a dominant flat 5th to counter Jimmy's dominant flat 3rd. So, obviously Eric wins this battle by two notes. Eric 1, Jimmy 0, end of story.

[rollingstopp]

not bad for a white boy

[rollingstopp]

love can be found anywhere: Even in a guitar

[rollingstopp]

Eric Captain & Dimmy Page

[loman1956]

wow , Clapton and Chuck Norris in the same vidoe

[almudjk]

would this album be on CD or digitally available?

[caesarcerf]

i'm not entirely sure the entire lead part is clapton.

[marbleheadband]

clapton is lukewarm next to jimmy, will never realize the artistic heights to which the mad sorcerer had taken the magic ship way above the clouds to look down upon mere mortal men.........

[TOOMUCHTlME]

@marbleheadband Your description here is personal, and you have a right to your personal opinion. In truth, Page was always known by those in the business as a very sloppy player. He made up for his lack in skill with intensity, effects and tricks, but was no virtuoso. Clapton was technically miles above Page. Not saying Page was terrible, as he did make a living for a while as a studio guitarist, he just wasn't well respected skill wise by his peers.

[SmelOdies]

@TOOMUCHTlME It's not as black and white as that. Page went down technical avenues Clapton was incapable of or uninterested in exploring. I agree that Page was not able to play the pentatonics as smooth and precise as Clapton was, but there were other dimensions to Page's playing, apart from the effects and studio tricks, that were more technical and knowledgable of musical science than Clapton ever attempted.

[smokestanklightnin]

@SmelOdies ; I'm glad you are speaking in the past about Page, as he flamed out years ago. Eric, while still releasing crappy cds, can still deliver the goods live.

[nabullshitmate]

@smokestanklightnin your disgusting jimmy page is everything pure and amazing about guitar, you have no point

[smokestanklightnin]

@nabullshitmate ; if you like Page';s solo stuff like outrider you are delusional and need to get back on your meds. he is a hack. its all a matter taste. i like chocolate ice cream,,,you like dogshit

[nabullshitmate]

@smokestanklightnin your just talking shit kidd go listen to your gay music lol

[stacy208]

@smokestanklightnin I think you are the one who is delusional. Page is a virtuoso at guitar. You probably need to go look that word up. Not to mention that Zep is the second most successful grossing band in history. So he's a hack, eh? Right...

[Hutzjohn]

@stacy208 Don't give this guy a second thought, he does not have the slightest clue what he's talking about. Page was one of the all-time best, maybe not THE BEST but he was right there with them.

[TOOMUCHTlME]

@SmelOdies I respect the right to your opinion. Clapton was more of a spiritual player. He never attempted to impress with tricks or virtuoso. He played straight from the heart. Every note meant something. I saw Page in concert with Zeppelin on their first American tour. It was a good show, but Jethro Tull pretty much kicked their butts. Plant never forgave Tull for that. I've never been a Tull fan.

[Cincinnatus1869]

@SmelOdies Clapton had and still has a tendency to obsess over certain artists for a period of time . He has been Robert Johnson , Muddy , JJ Cale , Albert King etc . at different times . Page is his own animal , a guy whose playing is distinct no matter what he is playing .I don't think EC has as broad a palate for different types of world music as Page has .EC is a bluesman first . I would love to be able to play like EC or Page but I'd really love to think like Page .

[SmelOdies]

@Cincinnatus1869 I agree with that. Both them and Hendrix made big impressions on me in my formative years, sometimes one guy over the other two, at different times.

[ndb1971]

@TOOMUCHTlME I feel sorry for people as ignorant as you, you probably dont even play guitar and if you do im sure you suck, if I where you I would get my ears removed because you just dont get it.

[TOOMUCHTlME]

@ndb1971 I've been playing guitar for nearly 45 years.I own over 20 instruments and numerous amps. I don't have to defend my skills to one with your limited comprehension. I've played in many groups over the years. I am smart enough to know there is good and bad in every musicians skills and abilities. Obviously, you are without benefit of that observation. So go on. Believe Page is the greatest there will ever be. It somehow fits in with your mental capabilities.

[ndb1971]

@TOOMUCHTlME why dont you post a video of youself playing, of course you wont because you suck

[TOOMUCHTlME]

@ndb1971 Why not post a video of you trying to feed yourself without poking yourself in the eye with a fork? That would be something particularly challenging for one such as yourself, and we'd all enjoy the entertainment.

[ndb1971]

@TOOMUCHTlME yah thats what I thought, a loser who doesnt know the first thing about guitar playing has the audacity to pass judgement on Jimmy Page, you are the definition of a moron

[TOOMUCHTlME]

@ndb1971 Awww.... now see.... You've surprised me once again. I hadn't even entertained the idea that you were capable of thought! Will wonders never cease? Can you do any tricks? Fetch? Roll over, maybe? Lick your own balls without a hint of self conciousness?

[stacy208]

@TOOMUCHTlME Page's sloppiness is a STYLE. It's not because he can't play cleanly! Just look up on youtube sloppy guitar playing. There are numerous videos of people trying to emulate that sound. If you actually believe that Page cannot play cleanly, just listen to his acoustic guitar work! And he's not respected skill wise? Are you kidding? He WAS a virtuoso. He spent years doing studio work before Zeppelin. The one who was not a virtuoso believe it or not was Hendrix.

[bobrock44]

@stacy208 You are so right on pointing out Pages acoustic playing how clean and accurate he plays those passages

[billmelc]

Page is by far the best and he has class.

[socrates1818]

@billmelc Yeah he had a lot of class by ripping off al those songs from other, unpayed artists. If that's your definition of class my friend

[billmelc]

"Zep's just a studio band"...Hahaha...obviously Dakeqyxw never ever saw them live. Clap was good but, cames close to Page & Beck but NOT better by any means.

[MixxMasterKid]

@billmelc JIMMY PAGE IS GOD

[ndb1971]

@jackgingeranderic just a "studio band" dumbest comment Ive ever read, to bad cream didnt have a real producer like JP and their studio LP,s sound like shit, ginger sounds like hes playing wet diapers on fresh cream

[Jesuisartiste]

Who cares about who you like more as a guitarist just enjoy the music for what it is.

[jackjls]

its cool how the jimmy's guitar is completely dry and fuzzed out while clapton's has that reverb. give it an interesting dynamic

[MixxMasterKid]

jimmy page is MUCH better than Clapton

[Eltalstro]

@MixxMasterKid Better at putting me to sleep now days.

[MixxMasterKid]

@Eltalstro fuck off

[johhnyringolevio]

@MixxMasterKid you don't know shit bud

[MixxMasterKid]

@johhnyringolevio your a fucking dumb shit so shut up

[johhnyringolevio]

@MixxMasterKid that's why clapton deferred to him and told him to play lead on this session so that he could study his technique. sorry shithead but your desperate attempt at fandom has failed.

[MixxMasterKid]

@johhnyringolevio where does it say that? oh no it doesnt, paage is goododododo

[johhnyringolevio]

@MixxMasterKid nice argument, too bad you're not capable of the subtle technique of inference. hope you pick it up someday chum

[Dave17541763]

GREAT!

[Dakeqyxw]

Those two are way out of our galaxy :=) I prefer Jimmy Page ( probably only 'cos of Led Zeppelin) but Eric Clapton is also a hell of a guitar player. No.1 & 2

[impala327]

what is "Santa Barbara Machine Head"?

[GuitarPhi1]

my two heros

[janeythebrit]

the SOUND of human emotion !!!

[wmprokipchak]

this hauntingly restrained cry-in-the-echoey-night wail is all about the bitter+sweet experience of the blues. I Thank God for the worldwide creators and/or subsequent interpreters of this aching beauty of the blues black white or neither or both. Anyone who is alive & feels anything will resonate with this sound. This is the sound of a baby crying out for its mother in the night..or a man uttering his last gasp of breath. This music represents what it is like to be human (to me). THAT's heavy

[jody24ful]

@wmprokipchak nicely put

[jody24ful]

@wmprokipchak nicely put

[groovy56]

@wmprokipchak Yes! So beautifully and poetically stated. Thank You!

[Rafterman123]

Wow! I wish I knew this exsisted! I used to live on Miles Road in Epsom, UK for a while - The same road Jimmy Page lived on - this song must be about it! Cheers!

[MichaelHansenFUN]

there needs to be a list of what songs and who plays on them together...

[ggarciaiutubiu]

duka!

[Arlindo444]

Gorgeous



[GabrielBecker100]

[sontos1]

Put the needle on, sit back, relax, and enjoy!

[kimsanleanne]

stoned?????



[Pikalikasq]

Audio ONLY? you realy need anything else?

[zepher1494]

@413kristianna really comparing? god people like you need to fuck off i hate seeing people fucking comparing two guitarist when we should just enjoy the fact that two guitar gods got together and played!!!

[TheGibsonman1959]

@zepher1494 AMEN.

[1m2a3t4t5]

the picture of clapton with tele and page with paul is strange because it would normally be the other way around

[413Kristianna]

Page>Clapton

[BoomBoy13]

@413Kristianna There's no better than the other, just different. Now if Page is your preference over Clapton then that makes sense, but one is not more skilled than the other.

[HuntersMoon73]

@BoomBoy13 Yes, but if you were to compare them overall (as musicians), Page is more impressive because in addition to being a great guitarist, he's also a brilliant producer and composer.

[Kseyfull]

@413Kristianna Yeah, you're right, I think he's taller...

[fleetwoodbrawm]

my old band in high school's name too! cool jamm!

[sweettee26]

I cant believe only 2600 people have heard this on youtube

[impala327]

@sweettee26

Well, how many folks really will listen to this raw shit? Over folks heads, me thinks...

[jspina1]

Named our band after this little known tune.
