Jimmy Page - Julie Felix Show, White Summer 1970 (Best Version) 

I'm with you Matthew - I think he's channeling some from a bigger picture and still is in 2022.

@@RAinteractive Absolutely true... and he knows it, too, because he's done the work his whole life. He is that unfortunately rare (at least in contemporary popular music) blend of mystic and musician. It's no great surprise that he fashioned himself as a wizard or fire magician through much of the glamorous Zep years. "Zoroaster's Telecaster" haha

@@RAinteractive I agree. The only other Guitarist that does that to me also is the Great Pat Metheny.

This is an old folk song that he reworked so not his. At least not entirely

Mr. Page is really something else.

76 now!

77 in 2021

Yes 77. 01/09/1944

@@MissPepsi-pc5ox if you're reading this now,....he turned 77 on January 9th....he was cute when he was young...in the late 60's

@@bkrbyex4339 Yeah! He did turned 77 years old in January 2021! Yes! I have seem video concert on RU-vid! All kinds of Rock and Roll concerts 🎸! I did saw him on concerts played in the year of 1967, 1970 and 1988 and so on, on the RU-vid! He was like "WOW" nice looking tall guitar 🎸 player! And the singer's vocals was amazing, Robert Plant! The bass player was great too like thunder roll, John Paul Jones and the drummer, John Bonham played like there's no tomorrow. They were the greatest musician and others, Rock and Roll players! They were cute and young back then especially, with curly and long hair 😍! If I was born in those days and years back then when they were young! I would've made my rounds 🤣 too! JK!🤣🤣

Ir sounds like the spanish guitar Masters

Yeah... Its really easy to screw up on an acoustic... on an electric with distortion or crunch you can cover all the little mistakes... on a clean sound? hell no.. Amazing performance...

@@armandocamacho6829 it's DADGAD tuning , Irish guitar.

tuning is based on old celtic style music

@@daveofbakersfield47 I thought another name for it was the "Nashville tuning."

So good looking, he can make air raid sirens...go off....Lol!

did u see the new skiffle video from 1957? Now that's young.

you mean, "I'm gonna crawl"...

@@dojoguitare 😂😂 yep..i am

yup, everyones enemy,(father time). seeing him young again brings me fond memories!

GriefTourist ALONE!

Rest in peace Julie Felix

D'accordo!! Ma a me sembra che Jimmy sia sottovalutato come chitarrista 🤨🤨 probabilmente per tutte le varie dipendenze che ha avuto. Un vero peccato 😡😡😡

What tuning is he playing here?

@@JimmyDevere dadgad

@@johnlo1966 Thanks!

Fair enough. Guess that was good for a lifetime. And Page was still on the tele then 😊

He performed an electric version of the same song at their 1970 Royal Albert Hall DVD.

Oh to have been locked away in Bron-Y-Aur with him (with a tape recorder)!!!

I totally agree👍

4 hours?

@Mihir S K- A lot of the time they were, but Jimmy's addictions bit him in the ass playing wise later on, and Robert was all sung out some nights. Even to the end though, everyone in Zep could play like no other.

@GIL Favor must've been early on...

Exactly!

Leo kotke,6 and 12 string

Davy Gram, most likely invented this concept.... The main theme is from his version of "She Moves Through the Fair"

Hardly a tribute. More like theft!

That's Your Opinion and not really true .. Every guitarist takes a little from here and there and builds his own style .. Even Django did he listened to Eddie Lang and the guitarists of the day which were many .. Charlie Christian

The question we need to ask ourselves is “does it elevate the original material?” Time and time again with Zep the answer is hell YES

Couldn’t agree more

So glad to be able to see this finally. THANK YOU. Maybe a computer expert in CGI can work on the image problems.

@@alanosterman7130 Seems to me like they just need to clean and better align the reading head on the player. The digital information on the tape itself seems fine... it's just the reading of it that's the problem.

PSYCHEDELIC IMAGE, MAN! AWESOME !!

I just had an eye operation and with the crazy video but amazing song stylings of young esquire JP Page, it looked pretty interesting!

Brilliant playing. So talented xxx

If you´re alive, the youth´s inside you. You can do so many things with it.

Beautiful

Captain Morgan i agree, probably my favorite use of White Summer

This is ripped off of Bert Jansch you dummies !!!!!

but a thousand times more complex and better

That must have been epic.

David Orelj actually it’s a folk song Bert Jansch covered, and jimmy saw it, and that it was credited as “traditional” and decided to do his own rendition of the song. Thus, Black Mountain Side(White Summer) was made.

Zepron yep from 68-73 Page was amazing till that heroin busted through the door 74-85 was one hell of a trip holy fuddruckers

Page was better than everybody else whether he was on drugs or not.

@@guitarplayer2846 that was true until it got the better of him, and ruined his playing. By the late 70s he was terrible. Early 70s he was the greatest though. One of the greatest ever.

Jimmy had a gonzo approach on stage with an electric. Always! Check out Yardbirds and early Zeppelin live videos. I have always felt his greatest work was on acoustic. Check out the video of Jimmy with Roy Harper out in the country. It was made in the mid eighties. That in not a junkie playing guitar on that hillside.

@@Tyrell_Corp2019 I agree. However I think you would also agree that by the late 70s his playing had crossed the line to truly sloppy, and I think that is what a lot of people refer to- his playing in the later years when he was out of control, and I don't think he ever really got the magic back. But certainly in the early years his playing is what I would call edgy and raw, as rock and roll should be, but not sloppy. He was one of the greatest ever back then, and that is why other guitarists paid him so much respect. It really wasn't until later that people were going on and on about him being sloppy, probably because by that point he was.

Yeah, I used to think so too, but if it exists it would've surfaced by now. We'll just have to be grateful that at least this footage exists and has been shared on the web. Pagey is as much of a maestro on the acoustic as he is on the electric, and that's saying a lot. I'm too young to be familiar with Julie Felix or her show, but I love how fresh and innocent she is when introducing Page--like he wasn't just another performer they snagged for the show, but someone she was genuinely excited about featuring.

Maybe a restored version will be included in the new documentary, "Becoming Led Zeppelin".

I agree but hey the audio is fantastic over all!

@@terrililly1957 There's rumours saying that they found new tapes.

Strong rumor has it that the new ZeppeIin documentary, 'BECOMING LED ZEPPELIN' which film makers just announced it's completion, will have this performance in it's entirety with full audio/video restoration.

I call that 'mental EQ'.

Matt you hear drums and bass? What are you smokin? Pass me some this way.

@@josephandrews1174 Matt is talking about the occasional note that sounds like a bass. I don't quite hear the drumming part but I'm going to assume it's because it's a percussive kind of song

You're probably referring to the live version from Page's 2003 live dvd's, but on that recording of Black Summer/White Mountainside, he played a 1959 Danelectro that he had tuned to the equivalent of an Indian sitar, B-A-D-G-A-D to be precise. He also had Jones and Bonham back him after a certain portion of the song was over.

@@peterkarabin1147it’s DADGAD not badgad

Jimmy Page still rules MY world.

Oh! It was the dinosaurs 🦕 that ruled the world 🌎! He ruled in the musicianship!🤭

He wasn't at Woodstock.

Barry Miller yeah read the comment again dumb ass

I read somewhere that the boys LZ wasnt very happy with Grant's decition about not appear on Woodstock. Imagine blasting communication breakdown for those hippies

@@eSSEPAPIRET1 You are correct.

However, he was at the 1970 Bath Festival and I was there.

Nicely put, well done indeed.

Please read my post right above yours.

no he isnt.. he is great on acoustic but electric..never..

I am not a fan of guitarist ranking. But well, I think Peter Green, Rory Gallagher and Jimi Hendrix are above him.

I had my guitarist phases - loved Hendrix for a while, then Jimmy, then Eddie. After a careful and thoughtful review of 30+ years, I put Jimmy at the top. :)

Not at all.

So who is better?

THE Wizard "...

…The Sorcerer Supreme, master of the acoustic arts…

To bad this isn't even his song. Just another ripp off ......

@@tricklenova the original was learned by a session guitarist who then taught jimmy page. Still a hard song to play which is the basis for my comment

Apart from Steve Howe?

@@humandroid53 love Steve Howe!

Gallagher on the resonator was better imo

Look at his rte sessions

@@seanrafferty2178 Rory was awesome no doubt, but what about SRV on acoustic?

How very cool!

DADGAD! try it out

When I first listened to this song when it came out, I thought it was at least two guitars and a sitar.

yeah, thats the tuning.. i sounds good, but its really easy.. This is not fantastic, it starts off great aber after a while its shredding without any insiration..

He stole it. It is Davey Graham's version of "She Moves Through the Fair"

@@MrBrungers boi u stupid

Very sad what that s*** did to him

You're confusing "White Summer" with "Black Mouontain Side"... they don't sound the same.

@@michaelcarey9359 He starts with White Summer then goes into Black Mountain Side, then goes back to White Summer. To @socketofdavis point, Page adapted Bert Jansch's riff from Black Waterside, the central riff of the song, repeated many times, which was fine, but didn't give Jansch any credit, which wasn't. White Summer is a version of Davy Graham's arrangement of She Moved Through the Fair; also no credit.

​@@alexanderbpriceinteresting

They should call the song Creditless at this point. No one cares to give its credit apparently

You girls are so damn emotional ahah come and cry for me this time

Yep. But, he was also great with HIS Led Zeppelin! Jimmy founded the band.

Bound to happen when you serve any amount of time recognized as the Uk’s top studio guitarist.

They all started out as a wee lad and an acoustic bought by a parent.

Jimmy's musical tastes are not restricted.

Actually, it was a guitar that was left by a previous tenant who occupied the Page family's new home. That made me believe in destiny.@@craiggoins647

Speaking straight facts

Facts indeed!

@@BrianCarnevaleB26, never heard him talk about that guitar before now. Thank you 👍
