  • it's called white summer and it's on coda in the complete led zeppelin or the led zeppelin box set it's aldo on the first disc of the led zeppein dvd only that was a better version from 1970 and it was done with his danelectro

  • a wonderful piece

  • must get such a rush playing like that.

  • he's great! no doubt.. really cool classic piece

  • Jimmy Page perform in a broadcasting like that is fantastic.

  • Don't forget JP was a studio/session musician before he was a superstar- he paid his dues!

  • Wow, he is playing for ten and a half hours!! :p

  • That. Was. Awesome.

  • He's just a man playing his guitar.

  • i have always thought led zeppelins acoustic music was brilliant and (thankfully) underrated and (thankfully) under played. i really don't want to hear this on crappy fm radio

  • Comment removed

  • I keep expecting to her Jon start thumping in as they bring that huge sound wave at you. Ahh when the were relevant!

  • @markbeatlesyeah I would say that they are still very much relevant. Arguably still the most relevant band ever??? There are a few others that might claim it, but my opinion is that Zep is right there among them.

  • Sounds like he was hanging out with George Harrison back in the day.

  • @TheAxis456 fucking oath

  • Comment removed

  • This is "She moved through the fair" in various manifestations. Check out Davey Graham's version for a nice comparison.

  • it's kinda pass the hat for derogetory hell lets see you do it or better yet your own compilation

    that can match just about any zep song. dam he's hard to play school is in session especially when you use what they had in the 70's to go on

  • Happy Birthday Jimmy!!Rock on!!

  • Happy B-day Jimmy!!

  • is this a Gibson J-200 that he's playin'?

  • damn heroin destroyed him.....

  • For those who may wonder, this is based off White Summer/Black Mountain Side, which can be heard off their album "CODA." Great song, combines sheer energy with amazing elgance. Plays out like a touching novel, with it's high and low points, all leading up to a climax which leaves you stunned. Imperfect Perfection if you will.

  • @UlrichTriplets69 Coda? No, this was originally on the Yardbirds Little Games album from 1967. By the time of this performance on this show he combined it with Black Mountain Side from Zep's first album as he did for all their shows. It is also the last time Jimmy ever performed this until the '77 Zep tour.

  • what tuning is he in?

  • 2:48 - 2:57 the intro of Kashmir live :D

  • how is it spelled? collideoscope?

  • Too me Jimmy was a better acoustic player than solo electric.

  • love watching some good old acoustic solos. Too epic!

  • Somehow the video bars add to the magical coolness of this song....

  • Page managed to become a guitarist's guitarist & at the same time a favorite among the non playing community. It's that magical combination of technical prowess & songwriting genius.

  • pages later acoustic works were better, " the rain song" and " bron-y-aur" to name a few.,,( no sign of bert jansch or davey graham in those compositions either)

  • Have y'all heard Billy Fury's Nothin shakin...the b-side to 'I Will' ; it features a blistering solo played by a young session guitarist...yeah Jimmy Page! (1964)

  • the people who dont like this need to explain why they dont like it

  • Page is not that great

  • @MrDavidh1111 lol

  • @MrDavidh1111 Your Mom's pretty great.

  • Dale Earnhardt Sr. turned 19 on this day, just so ya know! Led broke down before Dale started collecting championships.

    I love Led, and I love NASCAR.

    I miss them both, as todays music even tries to suck, and there are no cars in NASCAR anyhow, anymore.

  • wonder if he stole this solo, too...fucking arsehole

  • Reminds me of Rory Gallagher. It doesn't matter at all who's the best; just enjoy the music or not.

  • Jimmy here playing his acoustic as if he were playing a sitar.

  • Great song....but I'm waiting for Bert to come in singing...lol.

  • If mushrooms could play guitar... 

  • Technically, page isn't the best guitarist. His genius is in his composition,his originality, and

    his talent as a producer--that's what makes him great.

    You'll find very few popular guitarists who don't list him as an influence...

  • I mean if you had music lessons you cannot say this is good guitar playing.

  • como on people, lets demystify these guys, I mean Page, Hendrix, etc. They are good song writers but play very basic things. Musically speaking he is not doing anything here. Rock guitarist in general are pretty basic and narrow, any classical, jazz, bossa nova, tango or flamenco guitarist is 100 times better than Jimmy page.

  • @loombaron you really dont get it.

  • Jimmy is good but come on, he is not a god of guitar. What he plays here is a monotonous and fast progressions of chords. Any jazz musician can play something more melodic and rhythmic than this. Most rock guitarists know major, minor and a few seventh chords and of course just some positions of the pentatonic scale and thats all, they cant go musically further but because of the clothing, the mysticism of the band people call them gods.

  • @loombaron You're right and wrong. The reason this isn't that crazy is because it's a rip off of Davey Graham's "She Moves Through the Fair" and Bert Jansch's "Black water side." Both of those originals are pretty, brilliant ground breaking pieces. But ripping them off doesn't get you any guitar god cred.

  • @loombaron while you're right about page being overrated, it's clear from your writing that you don't know anything about this piece or what it entails

  • I can´t know it all dude, human beings have been writing music for centuries so there are million songs out there.

  • All I´m saying is that I studied guitar and people overate rock guitarists.Most of them just play major and minor power chords, rock riffs and pentatonic solos. I love Rock and Zeppelin but it annoys me when people say things like Jimmy Page the best guitarist of the world, that is ignorance. At least they should say it this way: Jimmy Page is one of the best ROCK N ROLL guitarist. He has the rock technique, he cannot go further. Check some classical guitarist, Page can´t play like that.

  • @loombaron Look, that's all fine. All I'm saying is that you shouldnt' talk about this piece if you don't know what it is (thought if you studied guitar I'm surprised you don't; ever heard of Davey Graham and Bert Jansch, or DADGAD?). Technically speaking there are no proper chords in this piece, and he certainly isn't using the blues scale to solo. Page was a lot more versatile than you're giving him credit for. As far as rock guitarists go, he certainly belonged to a class of his own.

  • Im from south america and Im sure you ve never heard about Cacho Tirao, Juanjo Dominguez, Athaualpa Yupanqui, Eduardo Falu and Luis Salinas whiare are world recognized guitarist.

  • @Bigkahkistan thats what im trying to say

  • @Bigkahkistan he was a great acoustic player for sure , he wasnt just about rock , country,blues,british folk ,middle eastern ,bluegrass, hes my fav all time guitarist...

  • and Im sure you ve never heard of Juanjo Dominguez, Cacho Tirao and Eduardo Falu, three amazing argentinian guitarists.

  • @loombaron Im argentinian and I can say you are mistaken. The feelling that Jimmy has cannot be compared with any of those guitarrists... He is a MASTER of feelling... we are talking about rock,blues and jazz music where feelling its all about it.

  • thats different, gilmour and Gustavo Cerati and the best

  • @Bigkahkistan: treu dat!

  • @loombaron ignorance is saying that any guitarist is 'the best of the world" . Who is the best painter in the world ? Depends what you like to look at , right ? Sure there are different levels of technical skill , but I don't think that is a factor to most fans

  • @loombaron Agree, in the same way some classical guitarists won´t play Black Dog. That´s why I PREFER versatile guitar players, like Howe, Hackett, Morse, Page.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @loombaron yes he cannot play like them, but others cannot play like him also.

    every guitarists have their own technique. jimmy page is not technically very good guitarist(for me of course), but he is very creative guitarist. so this the point, no matter how you play or how much technique you have, if you can give the emotion that you wanted to the audience, nothing else matters...

  • I agree with that, if you play perfectlywell but you dont transmit anything then is useless.

  • @onur7373 well if you can give emotion into your music and thats all the matters which is what page does, wouldn't that make him good?if you didn't sense emotion from hendrix's work then would he be the greatest of all time? or clapton, van helen, and etc..?

  • @loombaron you dont get it as has been said already......try starting with british follk music, roy harper for example to even understand where jimmy page was coming from ...

  • why would I do that? With Paco de Lucia Im fine, I dont need that british shit

  • @loombaron like we dont need your tacky south american shit.

  • at least we are not murderers and we dont steal territories like you.

  • @mojopin70 your dumb uneducated comments are not wanted on a jimmy page guitar video piss off.

  • @loombaron let me guess - home schooled?

  • There are a lot of videos on youtube of guitarists of other genres that play 100 times more than Jimmy Page. Nothing against Jmmy and Zeppelin, I like the band but I dont like that rock n roll exagerated marketing.

  • @loombaron, do yourself a favour. Don't underestimate or belittle other musicians. I would be very careful, when it comes to a judging the skill of a musician who gives credit to people who influenced and inspired him by playing and interpreting their music. The influence of Jansch and Graham are clearly audible behind one of Led Zeps best known songs: Kashmir. Also, there are a lot of rock guitarists out there with a classical or jazz background and a degree in music.

  • after watching Paco de Lucía everything sucks for me XD

  • @loombaron I don't care if he's not musical, technical, classical, sophisticated or if he's allegedly overrated. He makes me feel because he feels. Be it Mozart, Page or a little kid whistling with a blade of grass, they share emotions like no others, and that is why for me they can be the best, even if they don't play your fucking tango.

  • the day you listen tango it will open your mind. Anyway I dont want to fight with you.

  • @loombaron Oh my, you sound so sophisticated. I know a tango guitarist myself. I know personally know people who play in many styles and are, technically, much better than Page, for instance. But his composition and style, feeling and emotion are very much deeper. Anybody can play The Rain Song... but who makes it sound like Pagey? No one. It's the same with guys like Gilmour and Howe. There's people who match them in speed and complexity, but they sill are unequaled in colour.

  • @vicZeqqelin my thought is anyone can play something like rain song, but who else could write it?

  • @vicZeqqelin

    Playing guitar isn't actually very hard. Making it sound soulful is basically impossible. Maybe only 20 guitarists on the planet have ever achieved the feat in the last 50 years.

    Page being one of them

  • THIS is the great JImmy Page?

  • WHITE SUMMER/BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE :DDD

  • jimmy was wrong to claim writing credits but its not like bert jansch wrote the music either since theyre old folk songs

  • @jimmydanpage Yeah, but Bert Jansch's version is way different than the original or even Ann Brigg adaptation. Nobody said Bert Jansch was a brilliant lyricist for Black Water Side but the guitar work and composition is all him save for the basic melody.

  • Comment removed

  • How the hell do people dislike Videos with Jimmy Page in it?

  • The fact that the recording has a little bit of sonic bend make this performance even more amazing than it already is.

    

  • i am always surprised at just how much led zeppelin are a BLUES band right from the beginning, possibly more than a rock band

  • Maybe it's best I couldn't see his face clearly at the end. Would've been like staring at the sun.

  • dude everybodys been raggin on zep because they "stole old bluesmens work" well those old blues songs were sang in cottonfields, then churches, then once people started recording black artists thats when the songs got heard. you cant own music, it's meant to be shared and enjoyed, and it's about your interpretation of the jams. dont go to a zep video and start raggin on them. thats just douchey

  • @Thebluesman25 it is meant to be shared with proper credit, those bluesmen who were ripped off deserved both the songwriting credit and royalties.

  • This was masterfully performed. What an amazing guitarist!

  • Plant, John, Bonham were so lucky.

  • i can feel the music when Sir Page plays the guitar

  • I can see the person who recorded this got some LSD on the tape. ;)

  • Oh ok, I have more knowledge on electric guitars, but regardless of what it is, his music speaks through his soul, and this is a perfect example :)

  • wow, he sounds pretty good here, I gotta admit most of the utube on jimmy hes stoned or whatever and playing not so good....

  • complete shite.

  • looks more like a Gibson J-200 to me.  :D

  • @fogboys03 It is an SJ-200, I had one just like it!

  • @bluesnbob Looks and sounds amazing, you are one lucky person :P

  • listening god

  • yeah it really looks like a hummingbird,expect that "crown inlays"

  • Fucking love the Gibby Hummingbird :D

  • what s his guitar ? i mean which guitar he plays on acoustic most ? (like his gibson ems)

  • @thevergiox I'm pretty sure he's playing on a Gibson Hummingbird :P

  • Jimmy is painfully beautiful.

  • Jesus H this man is surgical with a guitar. Holy fuck.

  • How about fixing the video before posting?

  • @tuberez Its for your ears, not your eyes.

  • What an inspiration. Id always love to have met him...

  • Sounds like Jimmy had been listening to Davey Graham of whom many have been influenced - check him out. Love Jimmy's playing here though...

  • White Summer - The Yardbirds

  • The Master was simply ready to hold a practice session. And you know he had his way with the chick that introduced him before and after this.

  • *Zeppelin trip* 0_o

  • Good but not as good as ZAPPA

  • Look at the clock..... The Digits on the far right only go to 24 before 00 again ???

  • Gold Jimmy best acoustic track of all time you rule !

  • The best guitarist in the world after Jimi Hendrix !!!

  • @norranun

    yeah the best after p de lucia and then maybe jimi

  • @norranun No, for me Jimmy is the best !

  • it's worth noting he didn't invent this thing... Bert Jansch did it first.

  • Jimmy plays in a lot of open tunings. I think he's in open D here. Try it! Fool around in open tunings , you might surprise yourself with what you can do!

  • @luthierboy here it's DADGAD

  • those notes are not on my guitar :(

  • @theelectrifinggang no. they are in your fingers young one. do or do not. there is no try

  • best guitarist that has ever lived

  • 24p we meet for the first time...

  • Hey Glove man

    thx 

  • listen to this then listen to blackwaterside and try to tell the difference

  • @spacedragonsinspace

    i like this one better.

  • That was fucking intense.

  • "guitar solo"? shame on you! this is not a simple "solo" it's called "black mountain side"!

  • Jimmy is why i play Guitar

  • @Highways6 jimmy is THE reason why i picked up guitar :D

  • you can hear he's using the DADGAD tuning, very eastern

  • JIMMY IS WHY I PLAY GUTAIR

  • @mkmytholigiesfan jimmy is why i don't :P

  • Meh...

  • they use to do 10 hour shows those days

  • とてつもない。

  • a musical genius, and master of the guitar, i think only a guitar player can understand how deep his level of guitar playing is, to be a master at a young age of various styles, using open string tunings, when everybody else was playing 3 chord bar chord songs, LOL! people are still trying to figure out how he did some things, especially me!

  • DING !!!!  plz Now go to your Opposing Corners.

    Then Come Out Playing the Best Fuckin GTr In Our Generation !!

    lol peace out 4444jcm John C Michelson

  • Also, seems to me that, given music history (the history of art, really, which has always been about building on what others have created before since there aren't that many artists of any kind who can create totally new stuff), what the people who are upset about is money, not music. Or glory by association - it's not like people gripe about not being credited when the music isn't very good.

  • @NoAppend Nope, not contradicting, just adding some music history perspective. Fiction writer say there are no new stories, just new ways to tell the stories. It's no different with music. The issue isn't about new songs, it's about new ways to play the songs that have been played one way or another for a long time, since not so many musicians are also composers.

  • @NoAppend Your a fucking idiot if you think Nervous Breakdown sounds like communication breakdown considering THE MUSIC AND LYRICS ARE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.

    ICQYB-Credited

    HMMT-You fucked up here The song has no relations to that song by tha wolf it has lyrics from other blues songs but nothing substantial.

    You disgust me

  • @NoAppend Your an idiot is all I have to say.

    BIGLY is clearly credited(Page/Bredon/Plant) Meaning they WROTE a good portion of what appeared on the album.

    YSM Is credited

    D&C was a reworking sure Holmes deserves a credit but no full fucking credits.should be (Page/Holmes)

    YTISG.Ha! You coudn't come up with a song there It has the same chord progression as dear mr fantasy by Traffic which is hardly a big deal and its rumored Jimmt page played on it.

    BMS Trad

    Communication Breakdown -Original

  • @NoAppend

    I'd have to agree, but somehow he covers up the sloppiness of his electric guitar work and pulls it off. Somehow... XD

    Anyway, his acoustic playing is literally about 85% of my acoustic style. I love experimenting with odd chord voicings in alternate tunings just as he did. It seems like every day I find something new that I like. :P Page had the right idea. :)

  • @NoAppend Whole Lotta love was on LZ2

    Good Times Bad Times and Communication Breakdown and Your time is goona come are completely original.

    Dazed And Confused is a reworking Of some sucky ass song and not a c0ver

    You Shook me And I cant fuck you baby are the only 2 proper covers on there Ho I'm gonna fuck you was Credited (Plant/Page/Bredon) it used to be trad but Bredon iinformed page and he changed it.

  • @NoAppend I One of the original points of music was to copy and thereby spread and share not only the word message, but the emotion that provides the full and original emotion of the word message. In every other field of music people always play other people's songs. It's been that way since cave man days, and always it has been honor from the ones who best express the music to the composer just by playing the music so well. Just sayin'.

  • jimmy page oced said "look ma solo with no hands"

  • @NoAppend That's exactly what I was thinking. Every time I listen to Heartbreaker I cringe because of the solo. He can do great electric licks but he's far better on the acoustic guitar.

  • @lonewolf604 He left it the way it was instead of overdubbing it.

    Stop being such a technical puss bag It was a loose solo

  • @kildare97 What, I can't have an opinion? I'm tired of all of you hippies who are all "blah blah it doesn't matter if he's sloppy he has emotion". I wasn't insulting his technique, its just that I cringe at the solo.

  • @lonewolf604 I'm not even a hippy I mainly listen To Classic Rock and Punk.

    And how dare you cringe at it the solo in that and The Lemon song made me play guitar

  • @kildare97 Yes, I cringe because he played sloppy. I love the song, but that doesn't mean I'm going to pretend to like it because he "plays with feeling".

  • @kildare97 the solo*

  • His guitar playing destroyed the video quality with it's might

  • one of the main reasons why me and millions play guitar..Jimmy Page!

  • Epic.

  • Nice to see Jimmy at his best so much potential!

    My spelling is correct! Google sucks!

  • Nice to see Jimmy at his best so much potential!

  • he is like Igor .... 

  • @HeatonMG No sr. Igor is like him.

  • Lol comment fail.

  • If I had a Dollie for ever pixel this video has. I would have one dollar.

  • Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Mr. Page, and his bandmates... but please, PLEASE check out Bert Jansch and his song "Black Water Side." Page makes no secret of the influence this guy was on him.

    Music is the BEST!

  • @joshb23 True.

    RIP JANSCH
