Damn, that sucks. Well it's an epic vid, thanks very much for uploading it again and perservering so I can witness the awesomness that is Led Zeppelin.
@abester22 no its not a gain switch. what is happening is he is turning up and down the volume knob which controls the amount of signal going to the amp. his amp is on the distorted channel and when signal (volume) is sent to the amp, the amp in turn distorts more or less according to the amount of signal.
LED ZEPPELIN!!!! What else can I say.... The best band of all times, they really has perfecting music as an art form, and they really made a difference in the music world..... Their geniouses and massive influences as well as their tremendous legacy should be obvious to everyone.....
@TheRisingSunshine - in fact, the Bach I was thinking of is this very video. What distinguishes Page from Iommi, above all else, is Page's ability to improvise. It didn't always pay off, but somehow Iommi's solos sound too prepared and, as a result, I tend to spend them listening to Geezer Butler's superb bass playing instead.
I can just imagine Robert blowing smoke rings with Bilbo as they talk long about quests and wizards and shit. Robert will take a drag on Bilbo’s Longbottom Leaf while Bilbo tokes on Robert’s Acapulco Gold. And the forests of the Shire will echo with stoned laughter.
@TheRisingSunshine - hmm, I think Iommi could give him a run for his money. Not as much a showman, but technically even better (Page got sloppy). Mind you, Pagey's way of coming up with such goddamn catchy riffs betters Iommi's - and Page often incorporated vastly diverse things into his solos (even Bach harpsichord music on one occasion!). Hmm...
Richard Harrold I don’t think iommi is better than page when he plays properly. As much as I love heartbreaker, the solo is literally just pure slop and that’s what it’s been since the day it was recorded. He has better examples of him playing properly
