@thezepplinfan100 couldn't agree more. It's also good to know there a Led Zeppelin fan as young as I am and would give any thing to go back and see one of there concerts
@dave55 Are you kidding me? Led Zeppelin was known not only for redefining rock music but were best known for having the most amazing live performances EVER. They are so interactive and feed off the audience. They all have such charisma. Each band mate can flow off of one another Sure they had their rough patches like any band but if you make that statement according to all their live performances, I would be shocked. And I could guess you don't know the true meaning of LED ZEPPELIN. <3
@shelleshockxx thanks for the essay dickhead, do you really think this is as good as the studio version? yes there an exceptional band but not live...<3
@dave55s What are you saying, im 15 and i wish i could see them live. Id do anything. Whats wrong with this, how can you like zeppelin, but not like them live? They put on the most amazing shows ever. Seeing Jimmy Page live is like to see jesus in person. How could you not like that, you are obviously not a true Led Zeppelin fan if that is your case you raphead. SUCK ON THIS ESSAY!!!!!!!!!
...and for all you little newbies just so its clear I am a huge Zepp fan. this is from Knebworth 1979. I had this video back in 1989 on VHS even back then at age 13 I knew this sucked
this is pretty much the end of Bonham here........he is so tired here and uninspiring and as for jimmy heroin ruined him in the later years of zeppelin....
I hear ya, I hate the fact that I have to watch all of this amazing concert footage on youtube instead of actually getting to see them in person..now we have to be stuck in this stupid generation with god awful music.
best way to listen to anything from that era IS GO on FKN strong drugs N PUT this musIC ! ur gona listen it like the first time in ur life n ur gona LIKE it more ! daaam
@DrunkenLeprechaunPro You know nothing >.> Robert Plant's kid died when he was 5 years old, john bonham choaked on his own vomit in 1980, and jimi page was always drugged or drunk. These 3 things ultimately led to the end of Led Zeppelin. The greatest band of all time, but they still had their flaws.
On this night, Colleen Stan was locked in a coffin-like box under that sick &%$#'s bed and she'd be there for another 4 years until she escaped. If I could go back in time, I'd go get a posse of people together and some guns and go rescue that poor girl and probably kill that fool in the process (of course I'd only be about 7 years old, but I'd know what I as doing cause I'd have a 37-year-old's mind). After we took care of business, we'd go watch zeppelin play and warn them about Bonzo.
@WhatsAscope nottt neccessarily, page hardly mentions hendrix not sure if hes even the slightest influenced by him, they have nothing to do with eachother
Jimmy Page, 2:54 to 3:40 brilliant, and toneful. For whatever reason.. the rest was sub-par.. the studio version blows this away. Apparently, Page was blasted and/or exhausted, and/or just sick of the routine. (any or all) Plant does a good job compensating for his lack of range.. and I realize the studio version he sings is a tough gig to follow in an extended tour. JPJ and Boham got little credit when Page/ Plant stunk up the stage. Bonham is Brilliant!!!!
@CavenEdwards I understand your admiration of the grit and slop; however, a musician of Page's caliber does not need the grit and the slop to give the performance color...it's beneath him...look at other blues/rock guitarists, like Clapton, Beck, or Slash, who have impeccable precision and musicianship and still get the color and the rhythm, and the pure sexiness of the genre...
Was he one of the first to use a double neck twelve and six string, an I did see JPJ playing a triple neck guitar on one battle of evermore, it had a twelve, a six string, and a mandolin
One of my favorite things about seeind Zepplin and the Who's live videos is see Pete anf Jimmy playing those nice and simple guitars and then seeing John and John playing these huge outlandish basses
@Seanwashere6 not that they're hating on jimmy is just, come on you can see the guy isn't what he used to be. The mark of a true fan is to note when their favorite artist is not doing good and not be blind.Freddie mercury once in 1974 asked a fan how a queen show went, the fan said "you guys were amazing" freddie said "wrong answer" because it wasn't. No one stays on the top forever.
I do see a difference. Page isn't as fast or accurate as he was in 70' til about 75'. in 77' he started to wind down a bit but that's just a combination of drug abuse and age. by 79' 80' zeppelin wasn't what it used to be. Even by fans' accounts and biographies all say that by the zeppelin over europe tour of 80' bonham wasn't playing that good and page's guitar playing had deteriorated.
no don't get me wrong to this day i enjoy his playing because he was a trailblazer a legend in music. Always innovative, coming up with stuff. So I see him as an original source in his style of playing besides you can still learn a few things from him I think.
@fairyfellermaster...he wasn't nearly as original as you may think....the Bow stuff was done before by Eddie Phillips, his style of blues/rock was done better by Peter Green, Tony Iommi is pretty damn similar as well, just cleaner...and lets not forget Blackmore!....The Theremin is pretty unique though....but as far as guitar....not really that ground breaking, just the most remembered cuz they wrote the most radio-friendly songs of that arena of hard rock.
@scottelliottmusic Just tell it like it is, Jimmy Page made better songs period than Tommy Iommi, Peter Green and Ritchie Blackmore, that's why they are played more than any other band.
@MerkinMuffly thats what I said....he wrote the most radio-friendly songs of that era of hard rock. They were the first group to have their entire catalogue in the top 200 at the same time.
Well, from what I can tell, this clip is from one of their last performances, maybe in chicago at 80, An maybe they've rehearsed a bit here, i dont know, but it sounds good.
You have a few times in 77 when I think Jimmy is just stoned out of his mind or something, and some accidents at Knebworth 80 that might have affected his playing (equipment, stings snapping, etc.)
But the worst I have seen of Jimmy, is one of the Stairway performances at the ARMS concerts in 83
was that the one where he played it solo? And Beck and Clapton saved him at the end? If so, I've been catching a ton of flack from people on here for saying it was horrendous....which it is, he sounds like a 1st year player or something
Yeah, It's the one where he played a tour with jeff Beck and Clapton..They all started semi together in the Yardbirds.
It is, without a doubt, the worst I have seen of Jimmy Page, but hey, everyone has a worst.
One thing I like about Jimmy though, is his stage energy, hes running around, smilling and having fun, while the others are just standing there, Mopin around..
Yeah...I would def. say he is one of the top Rock Stars of alltime, but I wouldn't put his guitar skills in the top 10...or 20, speaking strictly live. Studio, however, he's a masterfull hard-rock arranger. Def. one of the best hard-rock writers and recorders. Plus he has a lot of studio time with other artists..im pretty sure he even played on some Stones stuff early on.
@scottelliottmusic Whoa, I disagree with you wholeheartedly on your opinion with his live playing. I agree that he's one of the top rock stars of all time, he's been a great pioneer of his time.
But Jimmy Pages' live playing is in my opinion something of the best I've heard, from what I've seen, his abillity to make good improvisations on stage started taking a downfall round 76, probably from drugs or something, but anything before that is nothing short of extraordinary/amazing.
I know.....I'm terribly un-popular for my take on Page. As player, I just don't find him that difficult to emulate, where as some other players, I can hardly get down half a solo. He is just really sloppy so it sounds like he's doing a lot, but as a player, I know hes just hitting a mess of notes as quick as he can, but w/ out much fluidity or melody. But in the studio he has the melody and more fluidity. Listen to some Tony Iommi live to see what I mean.and he has fake fingertips!
Check one of my earlier posts and you'll see that i corrected myself from the statement where i said that it might have been chicago in 1980, but said that, " oh wait, this is actually knebworth"
Not to be rude, but if you're going to correct someone, at least read everything before you start commenting, since I already had corrected myself :)
@Lundolf My apologies mate, the way the comments are laid out, with some as direct replies to people, means that others can be missed. You still got the year wrong though, ha! No offence intended. James.
How many people do you think are plastered and out of it? ha. Yeah. This kind of reminds me of a T & Nail band I saw. The band members were fighting. Ruff tour? Check out how he flags down the drummer before the solo. . . wait my turn. haha. So much is going on...its fun.
Well you gotta keep in mind that he was probably plastered and/or stoned like a mofo. The only person that can play as well as he did with that many chemicals in his body that comes to MY mind is Jimi Hendrix... Or if we're talking just alcohol then Alexi Laiho. That guy doesn't even RECORD sober. that in and of itself if impressive to me. Haha.
what bothers me is that if this was any other no name guitarist every one here would have said the same thing as me. the only reason all of you people like it is because its jimmy.
Listened to many versions fo this song live. The best solo if from How the West Was Won. Page flubs the hammer-ons, as several have said. I'm an MD- he appears to me to be withdrawing on stage during this performance, and using cigarettes which he is smoking during several songs to control withdrawal symptoms.
Despute his drug use, Page is one of the greatest guiarists of all time. His enormous talent and musicality shows even when he is in such poor shape.
At this point, Page was so smacked out on heroin. It's a wonder he is keeping his composure let alone playing guitar up to par somewhat. Even his sloppy performance sounds good, but could've been better if he wasn't so drugged out.
@thezepplinfan100 couldn't agree more. It's also good to know there a Led Zeppelin fan as young as I am and would give any thing to go back and see one of there concerts

Come on people give John Bonham some credit. He's an amazing drummer.

Every single Zep fan does Snw....It's just that this song was made to show Page's skill with the guitar, ;)

@MarkRigor17 cant imagine Led Zep without the two Johns, John Bonham and John Paul Jones ... most imaginative drum grooves and bassline.

How many people do you think are plastered and out of it? ha. Yeah. This kind of reminds me of a T & Nail band I saw. The band members were fighting. Ruff tour? Check out how he flags down the drummer before the solo. . . wait my turn. haha. So much is going on...its fun.

not gonna lie, guitar solo sounded terrible. i love page and i love zeppelin. but page really screwed up.
TheFlourescents1 2 years ago 2
Well you gotta keep in mind that he was probably plastered and/or stoned like a mofo. The only person that can play as well as he did with that many chemicals in his body that comes to MY mind is Jimi Hendrix... Or if we're talking just alcohol then Alexi Laiho. That guy doesn't even RECORD sober. that in and of itself if impressive to me. Haha.

Jimmy Page shouldn't have done heroin, he looks like a freakin' corps and his playing compared with 5 years earlier is bad. 2.38 - 2.43

what bothers me is that if this was any other no name guitarist every one here would have said the same thing as me. the only reason all of you people like it is because its jimmy.

Listened to many versions fo this song live. The best solo if from How the West Was Won. Page flubs the hammer-ons, as several have said. I'm an MD- he appears to me to be withdrawing on stage during this performance, and using cigarettes which he is smoking during several songs to control withdrawal symptoms.
Despute his drug use, Page is one of the greatest guiarists of all time. His enormous talent and musicality shows even when he is in such poor shape.

At this point, Page was so smacked out on heroin. It's a wonder he is keeping his composure let alone playing guitar up to par somewhat. Even his sloppy performance sounds good, but could've been better if he wasn't so drugged out.
