Jimmy Page Live at Madison Square Garden - The A.R.M.S. Concert - 1983.12.08 

I Am Too, What a Show ⚡️🔥👊💪😎🤘 My First Concert 🎹🥁🎤🎸⚡️🔥👊😎🤘

Same here. Seen the firm at the old Boston Gahden.15 yo as well. Thought The Firm was incredible and still love those 2 albums.. Got to see him w the Crowes as well later on in 2000. It really was like seeing an alien up close. Magic is the right word. Incredible.

I saw Page in both shows at the LA Forum in Los Angeles. Everybody pretty much was there to see Page. I remember when Page came on the stage on both nights, the crowd went crazy. Our guitar god was right in front of us, and if I remember correctly, the crowd rushed the stage when he came on. Man what a moment those nights were.

Wow Johnny, I went to that concert and Jimmy Page definitley looked like he was stoned, and worst of all, I always had the feeling Page and Clapton never really got along, When I was at the show Page looked like he was drunk or whatever and when Clapton appeared on stage, Page patted him on the back (pretty hard) and I remember the look on Claptons face, I thought he was going to let him have it

79 to 85 was rough on jimmy There is this picture of him in 79 were he was just skin and bones wearing cut off sleeve the junk was eating him alive And the then the live aid spectacle.

Truly shows how professional Clapton and Beck are , and kind in this moment.

@@jukedar Yeah, he's in pretty bad shape here : ( I didn't know he played the US shows for ARMS

indeed

You don't know the difference between 'of' and 'have'. What do you know about Chopin? Not a lot I'm guessing!

Yardbirds Reunion missed...

Good friends are hard to find. He was so lucky to make it threw hard times.

Say adores one more time.

Funny thing, when the Dallas concert was reviewed by Pete Oppel, he wrote about the rapturous adulation that Jeff Beck received as he finished his set. But, what was really happening, was, shortly after Jeff Beck finished his set, the video screen showed Jimmy Page walking to the stage, and that alone, created the rapturous response, that Pete Oppel mistakenly attributed to Jeff Beck.

No, this wasn't his first show since Bonham's death. His first show, or the 1st ARMS show was in Royal Albert Hall in Sept of that year. This is in America, at the beginning of the ARMS Tour.

@@telmaetlouise RIGHT ON ANN I COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER HE IS HANDSOME TALENTED👊

@@telmaetlouise WTF?! Lori Maddox was 14 and he was 26!

Page was 28 and Lori was 14. Disgusting and inexcusable.

@Jerry Sparks Get real! This is awful!

Mr. James Patrick Page 🎸 ⚡️ 🔥 Mr. Eric Patrick Clapton 🎸⚡️🔥 Mr. Jeffrey Arnold Beck 🎸⚡️🔥 Simply 3 🎸sss All Times ⚡️🔥👊💪😎🤘

If Page had had the chops at that time, it would have been fine by me to have the organ play the vocal parts, with this set: Heartbreaker, Over The Hills And Far Away, TSRTS, and STH.

@@HardRockMaster7577 But he had Jeff Beck to back him up if wanted to go there. Would have been a better perfomance. But I think poeple just wanted to see Jimmy no matter what disheveled state he was in. I was 12 at the time, and I didnt understand depression and heroin abuse, then. But I was happy to see the guitrist of my favorite band playing again. In hind sight, I agree, it was a shit show. But it was for a good cause. And I'm glad that it led to The Firm. Did you ever hear his earlier "XYZ" project with Chris Squire?

Luther Stevens the birth of the Firm!

Get a life Davesworld!

Clearly you are deaf!!

The only person killing it here is Simon Phillips. Page isn’t fit to be onstage. Sorry, but this is shite.

@@stormbringercoming8105while his playing isn’t what it was, it’s more about the fact that he’s back on stage. I’m sure everyone watching live back then was just happy to see him alive and trying. Again don’t get me wrong it’s ROUGH in some spots but the rhythm work is fine

@@anastasiagvalia1217 Only now have I seen your post. I loved! Jimmy is wonderful, thank you very much!

That's cause its Simon Phillips brilliant

They could have been major had they kept with it.

Radioactive song did nothing for me, but each to his own I guess.

bummer wild bill

WILDBILL212 why did you wait so long! It was a great night!

Shoulda said fuck that bitch. At least you left her my man. Any girl that says no to anything fun is jus an obstacle like Jimmy pages heroin playing but he's insane without it. At least we have footage of the good old days

You make it seem like they failed. Im sure he enjoyed the ride despite the potential you think he didnt live up to.

Or Miles Kennedy!!!

I'm pretty sure Jimmy was in talks with Chris Cornell until he died.

Well, he was paired with Rodgers for two albums and a couple of tours, but it didn’t continue because Rodgers wanted to return to his first love, which was more blues based. Then Page did his solo album where he had several singers...including Plant...and then Jimmy had his partnership with Coverdale....successful tour and pretty well received album, but wasn’t huge. I think the world just REALLY wanted Jimmy and Robert together, and nothing else had the same chemistry. I think Jimmy would have worked more with Steve Winwood, but Winwood was into his successful solo career by then....Performing with The Black Crowes was also fine....but nothing could match the lightening in the bottle that was Zeppelin. Luckily, Page and Plant did work together again 1994-98 or so and gave us allot of great performances for the archives.

he never chased after plant. SMFH! get real, dude

Right

Jeff Beck.is the best

It's documented that he was using heroin at this time. He looks very thin and unhealthy as well.

True, but when he got word on the A.R.M.S tour he got his act together especially for the U.S. dates he was clean, well clean as possible for him at that time...@@rrguitar1

I’m with Tony here. Everything I’ve read about this was he was clean. It takes time, I know, to get the weight and other things back to normal. I was at this show and it was amazing! Thank goodness he’s still with us!

No he was fucked up and abusing a perfectly good guitar

I believe he was clean at this time. Looks like his normal weight to me, or close to it. He was a naturally thin man. Check out 1977 and it's no comparison, he was incredibly frail during that time. He looks a lot healthier here.

Agreed! He is drug fucked big time in this performance but he still has more class than most "guitarists" nowadays. And what he can do with that Telecaster is just outstanding. Paul Rodgers' voice is great too.

Yep, I got the album.

@@rock696900 2nd album's better than the debut!

Page fell in love with those cheesy flangers and chorus pedals in the late 70s.Absolutely dreadful when overused like this. I was at this show.Just couldn't believe how bad Pagey sounded.I saw Led Zeppelin in 75 and 77 at the same venue and it was almost embarrassing that he fell this far.

Finally someone who knows what there talking about

can't resist ur convenient...... it is obviously TRUE as ..... being that way..... really hope to see Page's new launching performance but still seeing him talking many past issues...... old timer really

I saw Beck for the first time a few years ago,and it was mind blowing.You would never think he was in his 70’s.He played w the same fire and precision as he did in ok’d videos I’ve seen.Always progressing and trying new things. As for Jimmy,his live playing was always a bit like this,kinda reckless abandon but that’s what made what he did cool I’ve always thought.The Deathwish soundtrack music he wrote was incredible imo.Beck is just the better player hands down,although he couldn’t write the songs Jimmy could.

You must be on what Jimmy had that performance. Jimmy was also stoned off weed/black glass out of his mind. Jimmy better than both

I’m a huge fan of Jimmy, always have been. But during this period after Bonham death, he was a mess, but trying. This performance was pretty rough, kind of painful to witness, but all the while good to see him back. Once the Firm got started he was sounding good again. By the time he did his solo tour promoting his Outrider album, he was in great form. He stayed that way right on up through the Zeppelin reunion at the O2. I’m a little worried now about him just due to his lack of appearances. He didn’t perform at either of the Jeff Beck tribute shows and I would’ve thought he wouldn’t have missed those for nothing considering he was Jeff’s oldest friend. I hope he’s ok.

You forgot me at 999,997

Yeah! Its the guitars fault isn't it!

I think Jimmy and the Dano were both outta tune.

fcking stupid, it is a B string bender. This is a modified Fender telecaster, when you pull down on the strap it bends the B string. Page used it on many tracks, especially with the Firm he is well known for that

No kidding. But most importantly he had the crowds adoration and full support. They love him. He’s just started a long recovery after YEARS of a horrific addiction(s), depression. Jimmys fans understand him and love him. Very few people have the love from his fans like Jimmy. It is unwavering. He’s charming.

ChefandGuitar InChrist couldn't have said it better myself. I wish I could play a guitar that good stoned or sober. He is greatest of all time

Boy. Your.. Spot.. On... There..

Speculation

Jimmy was never really that good anyway ashame.

@@mickchilly1112 Jimmy was brilliant before drugs and after when he cleaned up...the years in between were a mess..all subjective to how we rate him...

@@mickchilly1112 WHAT? I think you're nuts lol He is only the greatest ever.

@@sarahlbeeney1920 He is the absolute greatest and thats simply facts👍

@@mickchilly1112 idiot.
