yeah i like it when jimmys wasted hes cool the funniest concert he did though has to be the live aid concert because when hes playing the stairway solo he forgets where he is and just keeps going on and on and eventually robert has to start singing over page its really funny
comprehend that metal musicians said themselves they were influenced by Zeppelin. who are you to to tell us differently? get that through YOUR ignoramus head.
@lntimidating I'll tell u who I am. I'm th 1 who's repeatin th tru stance/sentiments of page&plant since i've hrd it sed in interviews by th guys thmslves. They nevr likd th term "heavy metal" as applied 2Led Zep. They alwys considerd wt they did 2b far broadr thn tht. Besides, whn they "became part of th scene" it was known as "heavy rock" back then. &Just cos metal bands were influenced by them doesn't mean that's wht they were ! Page&Plant were influenced by RockNroll, Blues &folk &more
I wouldn't say that they did heavy metal, ( they might have influenced it) but the majority of led Zeppelin was normal rock. I have all their albums and have Listened to them many times, barley any hard rock. Then again, heavy metal was different back then, not even ac-dc was heavy metal, just hard rock
how can u not love jimmy page the best guitarist in my humble opinion, hes so mesmerising i never get enough of watchin r listenin 2 him play, never stop rockin' jimmy page
hes playing in dadgad, the same tuning as kashmir, thats how he morphed the song right into kashmir, if you look up a how to play kashmir, its pretty easy as long as the tuning is right, i learned it in about ten minutes.
It's interesting what he's on about here. The concept of "Heavy Metal" was entirely different 30 years ago. Metalcore, Numetal, Black Metal, Death Metal, Deathcore, Blackcore, & all modern sub-genres of metal all came about because of "Heavy Metal", which was in all honesty, a lot "softer" than today's metal.
I could sit back, play guitar with him. If brought over a six pack of New Castle Brown ale... Oh wait. That was my friend yesterday, who is just as great of a guitarist. Good men, James? Do not your sour son James!
no matter what, there is always a Led Zeppelin song being played somewhere on this planet. That will not change until the world stops turning. Trust in that
Can't decide if he had some to drink or not or smoked a joint or something. lol His movements seem like he's feelin good. Seems very mellow and very cheery. More than usual. Always like his insights about music.
One of the demos originally named 'Swan Song' recorded during the Headly Grange Sessions sounds EXACTLY as played from 1:32 to 1:58. 'Mignight Moonlight' was a combination of more than one of the unused riffs from those sessions.
This was my first exposure to Jimmy Page back when I was an impressionable youth. Consequently I ignored Zeppelin for about 15 years. Silly. Now my favorite band.
Ltl bit pished aren't we Jim 'ol boy??? The begining is definately White Summer written during his Yaredbird days there's a live version of is on How The West Was Won.
I remember this was on fairly late at night around Christmas in 1989. I've still got it on video, I think.
I think it was the first time I'd ever heard him talk. From this I learned how to play White Summer and Kashmir (quite badly but they're fun to learn).
No in my zeppelin book it say's "jimmy started to lay off of smack around the beginging of 79'. He told me " Richard i think i'm addicted". it began to become a problem but he got of off the drugs before i did. we went to his daughters dance party and that was the last of jimmy's heroin taking's."
I love Jimmy...BUT he really hasn't done anything creative since 1975! Thats a long time to be regurgitating a DADGAD tuning for the 8,000th time..He was the best ever...Most adventurous,best tone, GREAT ideas and execution.Too bad he died musically when Bonham checked out.
@johnnyd63 not to be rude mate, but i think you'll find that Bonham is alot more dead than page is at the moment if you get waht i mean. But yes, it would be great if jimmy reminded the world just how good he is with a new album
This IS the whole of it. Just 2 short clips, which I edited together, minus the 1969 Led Zeppelin coverage which WMG objected to (eventhough the whole thing is on YouTube somewhere). If you want to see the whole Arena documentary, search for 'badwolf1973'. All 6 part's are on his channel. Thanks
@TheEvilWeed Hey EvilWeed, Hows it going? I'm In New Zealand. You say this piece is from a doco? Can you post the whole part wih Page? Cheers LOL I didn't see your credits til the end of course, and I agree
Its the opening sequence from a song called Midnight Moonlight by Jimmy Page on the first album with The Firm (Paul Rodgers et al). I believe he had been developing the idea since the Physical Graffitti days.
I must admit that album version is absolutely stunning
@diaghilev Uncle Jimmy has his guitar tuned to (from the low E-string) D-A-D-G-A-D. which was popularised by a guy named Davy Graham who wrote the tune White Summer which you can hear in the first part of this clip. Try tuning your guitar this way and I'm sure you'll learn the song in no time. Oh! And thanks to TheEvilWeed for this clip. I hadn't seen this since since the original Arena program was broadcast in the 80s and I always remember the words. "And then then." :-) Class stuff.
@DrewWlliams As far as I'm aware it was invented by Davy Graham - He observed Sitar players on his travels and was the first man to think of trying to imitate a Sitar tuning on an ordinary steel-string guitar.
there was a time when jimmy wouldn't reveal what tunings he was playing in......this sounds like a minor tuning...................it's nice to see he's mellowed a bit
@TheEvilWeed no actually its was swan song demo form physical graffiti or outtake what ever you would like to call it first which became midnight moonlight firm
do you have the rest of this documentary, i remember watching and taping it, iirc it was on bbc2 around Christmas time, they also showed the docu-movie decline of the western civilization pt 2: the metal years, would be cool to watch this again
Well, at least he wasn't sweating all over the place like he does some times when he's "sick". At the end when he's talking I'm just staring at his cigarette the whole time waiting for him to flick it before it falls off! Thanks for this post even with the slight cringe factor involved.
@HuggyGraves - what follows is 'How Many More Times', from the Led Zeppelin performance recorded on Danish TV in 1969, which is available to view on YouTube from the ledzeppelin channel. There was no other 'lost performances' of Led Zeppelin in the Arena documentary.
@coal1987 - White Summer is on the Yardbird's albums 'Little Games' and 'Cumular Limit', Midnight Moonlight is on The Firm's self-titled 1st album, and Kashmir is on Led Zeppelin's 6th album 'Physical Graffiti'
To bad he's floating around up in the rafters somewhere. Somewhat lackluster performance. I wonder how much better some of these guys would have been if they weren't high all the time.
WMG stands for Warner Music Group. Now I don't know the exact history of there record labels but last i checked they were with Atlantic Records until like Physical Graffiti.
@someone180 Yeah, they were with Atlantic Records til about 1973, then started their own label 'Swan Song Records', which has the parent company 'WMG'. And I'm well aware what that stands for, thanks.
@scottelliotmusic To me it doesnt matter if you get lost on stage as long as you can get found and come back quick enough. I also think the sloppieness adds to his sound. He is a very good player and arranger either way.
scottelliot seriously if you think thats a mess then you this is just, "my opinion." dont exactly have a correct view on things. Seriously Jimmy Page is one of the best musicians of the 70's hands down. Not the best cause there never is a best just a better then most. Because some of the greatest are different from each other
@90zosoman09 Hes a great arranger and writer, but also one of the sloppiest live players of the 70's, or any era given his success, meaning that for the primary guitar player of a massively successful band, he is notoriously sloppy. I have yet to find a video of Zeppelin live that is not over-dubbed where he doesn't make a mistake. Sorry if thats an incorrect view to think a guitar god should be able to play his own music clean on stage.
People tend to confuse sloppy with frantic and soulful...the mistakes tend to make the sound raw and more personal, which is a quality many people like, and came to like with grunge too (most notably Kurt Cobain's style - he was a fan of Page too)
I think most people just throw the term "sloppy" out because so many other people who aren't as good as Page say that, and they just jump on that train
@demravager I can get what you are saying somewhat, but sloppy means missed notes, bad notes, off rhythm....I know it can add character but its not how most people play for a reason.And if its so much a part of his style, why are the records immaculate? Why would he record one way and,according to you, intentionally play another? Sounds like BS to me.The only 'train' here is one where Page fans saying his spotty live playing is just a style only certain people can understand.
@scottelliottmusic I agree with your insights. I've often wondered why there is such a difference between the recorded material and the live shows. I'm a huge JP fan, but even I have to cringe at some of his live playing. I think he was a brilliant composer and producer and probably a perfectionist in the studio. But once he got on the road I think he was probably wasted every single show - probably due to nerves in the beginning and then just living up to the Rock God hype/mythology later
@D0nRidah Um...one its not THAT impressive, and two, its over dubbed. Anyone who needs to overdub the solo from their signature song has some explaining to do
@scottelliottmusic Jimmy's "sloppiness" was due to the constant touring, and excess. This wasn't on purpose and no artist was impervious. Even so, Jimmy's sloppy playing is an exaggeration and can be refuted with multiple examples. In addition, Zeppelin was all about dynamics, the band was adamant to varying their performances every night. This variation cannot be considered spotty in any way. ...There were definitely some clunkers in this video, I do declare :p :p
@Grubbsy fair enough. Yeah, I know that raw emotion is a huge part of his signature sound, almost like the album is just the version they got during that session. But to be fair, I have heard him mess up in live performances more than any other guitar player at that level. Its just part of who he is i guess. Very off the cuff and if something goes wrong, you can be sure its not your eyes that catch it! He always LOOKS like the greatest guitar player ever.
I see now, it's the standards in which you are comparing. In comparison with other well known guitarists, Jimmy does appear to "mess up" more frequently. However, in comparison, many guitarists don't vary from their original arrangement as frequent nor as much as Jimmy does. Case in point this video. There are no smoke and mirrors in bootlegs mind you and I've heard much more cases of Jimmy not messing up than so.
@Grubbsy I guess thats it, he varies from the arrangement, but sometimes more successfully than others. He has problems with timing and fluidity. If you get too all over the place, the core melody and structure that make music (as opposed to sound or noise) get lost, leaving one to question the merits of such straying. I guess he would rather try to and fail than fail to try (I dont intend to say, by any means, that he always fails, he just a bit undisciplined)
Agreed, this is why I love Jimmy's way of playing. Most of the time (from what I've heard) he can pull some great things out of his butt, although not fluid in some cases, It's forgivable. I believe this is my main argument :) "it's forgivable". In my opinion.
@Grubbsy well sure, because the end result, like him or not, is that no one else sounds like him. Its part of what makes him original, and to some irreplaceable i suppose. And no one's got his swagger!
@scottelliottmusic There is no comparison with Page pre-73 to Page post 73. Get some boots. This guy was AWESOME. In this video he can't even sit still he is so screwed up from H.
@demravager Angus Young is 'frantic and soulful' whereas with Page, a lot of times its obvious he didn't quite play what he wanted to. Like a run in a solo suddenly stops dead, or Bonham tries to add light rhythm to a solo page piece and drops out because Page HAS no rhythm, or solos seemingly unrelated to the rest of the music.Its things like this that make him sloppy, not because he doesn't play the same every time or he bends differently.He just sounds amateur live many times.
I am moved by your reasons for posting this video, I believe even if you are not learning to play the song. I find any man who is worth his weight in "pardon my french" shit can see that this gives a knowledge wether you're a musician are not thank you for the post and the words in the description.

Well, at least he wasn't sweating all over the place like he does some times when he's "sick". At the end when he's talking I'm just staring at his cigarette the whole time waiting for him to flick it before it falls off! Thanks for this post even with the slight cringe factor involved.

@HuggyGraves - what follows is 'How Many More Times', from the Led Zeppelin performance recorded on Danish TV in 1969, which is available to view on YouTube from the ledzeppelin channel. There was no other 'lost performances' of Led Zeppelin in the Arena documentary.

To bad he's floating around up in the rafters somewhere. Somewhat lackluster performance. I wonder how much better some of these guys would have been if they weren't high all the time.

WMG stands for Warner Music Group. Now I don't know the exact history of there record labels but last i checked they were with Atlantic Records until like Physical Graffiti.
someone180 1 year ago
@someone180 Yeah, they were with Atlantic Records til about 1973, then started their own label 'Swan Song Records', which has the parent company 'WMG'. And I'm well aware what that stands for, thanks.

@scottelliotmusic To me it doesnt matter if you get lost on stage as long as you can get found and come back quick enough. I also think the sloppieness adds to his sound. He is a very good player and arranger either way.

scottelliot seriously if you think thats a mess then you this is just, "my opinion." dont exactly have a correct view on things. Seriously Jimmy Page is one of the best musicians of the 70's hands down. Not the best cause there never is a best just a better then most. Because some of the greatest are different from each other
90zosoman09 1 year ago
@90zosoman09 Hes a great arranger and writer, but also one of the sloppiest live players of the 70's, or any era given his success, meaning that for the primary guitar player of a massively successful band, he is notoriously sloppy. I have yet to find a video of Zeppelin live that is not over-dubbed where he doesn't make a mistake. Sorry if thats an incorrect view to think a guitar god should be able to play his own music clean on stage.
scottelliottmusic 1 year ago
@scottelliottmusic
People tend to confuse sloppy with frantic and soulful...the mistakes tend to make the sound raw and more personal, which is a quality many people like, and came to like with grunge too (most notably Kurt Cobain's style - he was a fan of Page too)
I think most people just throw the term "sloppy" out because so many other people who aren't as good as Page say that, and they just jump on that train
demravager 1 year ago
@demravager I can get what you are saying somewhat, but sloppy means missed notes, bad notes, off rhythm....I know it can add character but its not how most people play for a reason.And if its so much a part of his style, why are the records immaculate? Why would he record one way and,according to you, intentionally play another? Sounds like BS to me.The only 'train' here is one where Page fans saying his spotty live playing is just a style only certain people can understand.
scottelliottmusic 1 year ago
@scottelliottmusic I agree with your insights. I've often wondered why there is such a difference between the recorded material and the live shows. I'm a huge JP fan, but even I have to cringe at some of his live playing. I think he was a brilliant composer and producer and probably a perfectionist in the studio. But once he got on the road I think he was probably wasted every single show - probably due to nerves in the beginning and then just living up to the Rock God hype/mythology later

@D0nRidah Um...one its not THAT impressive, and two, its over dubbed. Anyone who needs to overdub the solo from their signature song has some explaining to do
scottelliottmusic 1 year ago
@scottelliottmusic Jimmy's "sloppiness" was due to the constant touring, and excess. This wasn't on purpose and no artist was impervious. Even so, Jimmy's sloppy playing is an exaggeration and can be refuted with multiple examples. In addition, Zeppelin was all about dynamics, the band was adamant to varying their performances every night. This variation cannot be considered spotty in any way. ...There were definitely some clunkers in this video, I do declare :p :p
Grubbsy 1 year ago
@Grubbsy fair enough. Yeah, I know that raw emotion is a huge part of his signature sound, almost like the album is just the version they got during that session. But to be fair, I have heard him mess up in live performances more than any other guitar player at that level. Its just part of who he is i guess. Very off the cuff and if something goes wrong, you can be sure its not your eyes that catch it! He always LOOKS like the greatest guitar player ever.
scottelliottmusic 1 year ago
@scottelliottmusic
I see now, it's the standards in which you are comparing. In comparison with other well known guitarists, Jimmy does appear to "mess up" more frequently. However, in comparison, many guitarists don't vary from their original arrangement as frequent nor as much as Jimmy does. Case in point this video. There are no smoke and mirrors in bootlegs mind you and I've heard much more cases of Jimmy not messing up than so.
Grubbsy 1 year ago
@Grubbsy I guess thats it, he varies from the arrangement, but sometimes more successfully than others. He has problems with timing and fluidity. If you get too all over the place, the core melody and structure that make music (as opposed to sound or noise) get lost, leaving one to question the merits of such straying. I guess he would rather try to and fail than fail to try (I dont intend to say, by any means, that he always fails, he just a bit undisciplined)
scottelliottmusic 1 year ago
@scottelliottmusic
Agreed, this is why I love Jimmy's way of playing. Most of the time (from what I've heard) he can pull some great things out of his butt, although not fluid in some cases, It's forgivable. I believe this is my main argument :) "it's forgivable". In my opinion.
Grubbsy 1 year ago
@Grubbsy well sure, because the end result, like him or not, is that no one else sounds like him. Its part of what makes him original, and to some irreplaceable i suppose. And no one's got his swagger!

Toology83 1 year ago
@demravager Angus Young is 'frantic and soulful' whereas with Page, a lot of times its obvious he didn't quite play what he wanted to. Like a run in a solo suddenly stops dead, or Bonham tries to add light rhythm to a solo page piece and drops out because Page HAS no rhythm, or solos seemingly unrelated to the rest of the music.Its things like this that make him sloppy, not because he doesn't play the same every time or he bends differently.He just sounds amateur live many times.
scottelliottmusic 1 year ago
I am moved by your reasons for posting this video, I believe even if you are not learning to play the song. I find any man who is worth his weight in "pardon my french" shit can see that this gives a knowledge wether you're a musician are not thank you for the post and the words in the description.
