page is better at his sloppiest than anyone else ever was or will be bb king buddy guy david gilmore santana prince on stage together yea baby now imagine a playoff who'd b the last man standing? page plays so effortlessly i love all these guys but page wins in my opinion
OOhhhh thank you really for addin´ I love Page and Plant most and Michael Lee with Charlie Jones - most humble guys who really plays not for gettin better their individual reputation but for all people around. Michael Lee - most humble drummer
This is the cherry les paul he used as spare in the 73 tour (you can see it in clips in the song remains the same video).I think it was orinally a gold top the re sprayed the fitted with the b bender after zep days(he used the tele with b bender then).If you watch black dog on srts you,ll see it at end shot and it don,t sound as good as his 59(obviously!!).Also Page damaged his little pinky twice from about 74 and his playing has never been the same(watch how he uses it in srts)sad but true!!
If they had included Jones, it would have been Led Zep with a different drummer which I think they were trying to avoid. Not to mention that the drummer and the bassist were a pair, a well tried built in rhythm section...:)
in my opinion, while page and plant themselves are amazing, jones just brings that real feel and groove to the song, which this version lacks severely. Page is phenomenal in this recording, but the bass is just missing in my opinion.
Off course he makes a lot of mistakes during the whole song. Lets be honest. He is sloppy. But still you can hear that 1) he has an own sound and 2) there is still some of that magic guitar playing of the 70's.
my opinion will never change, Pages playing was his best in 1969-1971. His songwriting reached its peak after zeppelin2, but his guitar playing on the bbc sessions is fantastic.
i disagree i dont think his songwriting reached its peak until he was too fucked up to write anymore. the rain song is one of the best written songs, so is ten years gone.
Pagey...he's so erratic like here he is awesome all though the song but then when it comes time for the solo...well it's just ...well it's hard for me to say this but it's not so good, but damn he tears up the rest of the song!
jimi is really good but his playing hurts my ears a bit way out of key blues stuff.i aint dissing his playing but hes like dave mustaine in the mechanix just sounding to wild and leaning to sloppy sound.i prefer blacmoore way smoother and also prefer eddie more and al thos others.this playing sounds pretty yuck compared to hendrix eddie clapton jeff beck etc.
Steve ray von had way too more dynamics to this type of songs. it is said with great respect to LZ, although, in my opinion, G Page is an overrated guitar player.
