This song and performance is what solidified jimmy as a guitar god for me. That solo gets me every time. People bash his live technique but shit man he's the greatest guitarist that ever lived in my book.
Seen him second row center with the band " The Firm " he played the guitar with a bow string. Always heard about it, and got to see it live ( Missed Led Zed because of my " Pride " in the UK. A friend got tickets, and we were supposed to go, but he invited his G/F instead. They broke up and he invited me but for some STUPID reason i said NO. Yes i kick myself to this day. He even told me that the fans charged the field and everyone didn't need a ticket that was in that group as they got in free )
Yeah I'm spoiled. Whenever I hear any other guitar player I think "he's good but he's no Jimmy Page." And that just makes me want to listen to him and nobody else most of the time.
This is not a band of just dome men playing instruments. These are Rock n Roll Gods, that while having fun playing and singing they left a mark on modern music that still echoes through time. These men recorded dongs that started entire social and musical movements years later. We shall never see the lines of Led Zepplin again. Compare , how would it be to sit and have Beethoven play? This is History and the soul of millions of people.
@1:48 where bonzo comes in w/that drum pattern, that would throw me off if i was playing jimmy's part. it only shows u the genius of zeppelin, how they were able to come up w/such complicated shit. the greatest band that ever was!
I’m a guitar player of 38 years and I 100% agree like just think about jimmy when your guitar hero’s hero is jimmy that’s saying something. All those riffs came out of one mind it baffling to me
In person, you not only saw and heard the band, you "felt" the band. 4-Dimensionally... that most live recordings can't absorb. Translation--- It's always different --- if you were there... I wasn't at Knebworth or Earl's Court, but those that were, they got something out of it I'll never have.
@@ezrapyne69 70's was good for getting girls all the way up to about '86. Then the 90's hit and the girls were there again. They had a cool sexual revolution going on. I was getting high school age girlfriends and people are mad because I seized on the opportunity. I WOULD do it again but even more. Nowdays? People are acting like the 80's again. I MISS the good Ole days. 🤣
@@ezrapyne69 I got true stories you wouldn't believe. In the 70's and 90's up to around 2018, I was getting girlfriends all the time. In the 90's, I'd meet those young young barely legal girls, and I as humping from 30 to 40 chicks a day. I thought, wow I know it won't last forever, so I'd better do it. People are passed off about that. Oh well.😁
Lol reading comments. First Jimmy Page was known throughout the music business as the go to studio musician. As far as live technique, any artist willing to stand on stage and create deserves your respect. Critics are people who cant do. Lastly, in respect of my African brothers and sisters and those who became slaves, then survived in another world.... Yhos song was not written by Led Zepplin. More than a couple said this, enough that it needed corrected. Like many 60s Rock groups most inspiration and alot of songs came from the Blues of early 20th century America." Nobodys fault but mine" is an old song , probably written before Robert Plant was born. BUT, the arrangement, tempo , lyrical elaboration and scat singing belong to Plant and Page. There will be Peace when the hungry are fed
