I think the strength of Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones for that matter, is that they were both session players. That gave them so much experience playing different styles of music and experimenting with different sounds and techniques.
This was only the first few minutes of a 20+ minute solo, the last 12 minutes of this 28 minute performance is the greatest guitar solo ever recorded.
I agree from the moment he flips the bow over his shoulder, it's proof that he is not of this world.
😂🤘
Yeah, and that final jam towards the end give me goosebumps!
Yes but there are times during this very long song that he overdoes it. Let's call a spade a spade. I love him to pieces, but...
I agree! Ive always considered the 2-3 minutes after the bow interlude to be the most intense minutes of rock music ive ever heard. Page was in an alternate universe during that recording. I dont think he opened his eyes once. 😊
The point is not to say whether Jimmy is better than others. He is simply incomparable. He is different, no other, no matter how good he is, has Jimmy's unique magic. Led Zeppelin is the only band I listen to every day, that is, I listen to Jimmy every day. Great reaction but too bad you didn’t hear the whole solo
Exactly how can you say that 1 great artist is better than the other when they are so different. I rate guitarist on originally creativity and technical capability. So many guitarist are pedestrian and gimmicky stealing riffs from great guitarist.
@@mykecoburn9974 I agree all are Unique and God GIFTED.
preach it girl
I feel the same way you do different people have their own style and to say one is the best ever really is just an opinion of that person. Also I feel the same about The Lynyrd Skynyrd Band pre Oct 77. Every day I listen to them
Jimmy Page is better than others. All of them.
That entire concert is mind blowing. Dazed and confused could be the greatest guitar performance ever recorded. The very end of the song Bohnom goes absolutely nuts. Greatest rock band ever. And will be forever. 😎
I am 73 this year and was one the many lucky ones to see this group live in 1975 at Long Beach Arena in Calif. after my woman and I hitch hiked to Calif. from Indiana. Long live Led Zeppelin!! Peace & Love America, especially those fine people that gave us rides across our amazing country. Thank you from Rory & Vicki and their future son and daughter, at the time. : )

Here you go.
I was there for that concert. Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Jon Bonham were unstoppable. All together it was magical. I saw them again in ‘75
James Patrick Page is without doubt, One of The Very Best Guitarist in the World. He still plays Beautifully. He's a wonderful Producer and Songwriter as Well as being a multi instrumentalist to boot !!!
Pure Genius
The Achilles Last Stand at Knebworth was truly awesome, one of the best live Led Zeppelin performances.
I gor wet that evening but really didn't care
75 Earls Court performance of Stairway is up there with the very best of the best - of the GOAT rock n roll band! It was a great tour - saw them at LI Colosseum in 75; St Patricks day Massacre. Find it on YT its a great performance and really good sound quality. Epic version of Stairway as well. Achilles Last Stand likely my 2nd favorite song/Zep song followed by Rock n Roll. Yeah Zep has 7 of my top 10 songs. Since I've Been Loving You, The Song Remains The Same, Kashmir, Whole Lotta Love - The Ocean too so make that 8 of 10! Gimmie Shelter and 25 or 6 to 4 other 2 on Top 10. Next 10 likely only 4 or 5 from LZ!
Not recognized as much as it should be is how easy Page made it look, especially considering his "state of mind" at the time, and the enthusiasm he displayed as he pouted, posed, danced around in the middle of another lightning-fast intricate lead that he wrote as he was playing it. Were there faster guitarists? Probably, but Page's inventiveness and creativity were second to none, and you could always tell how much fun he was having. If that weren't impressive enough, let's also not forget that he wrote the majority of the Led Zeppelin catalog, and produced it all.
He Is A Virtuoso Genius
I subscribed for more Zeppelin!! You should watch this entire song! 28 minutes of pure magic!!
Appreciate it. This one was blocked for 30 days. Wasn’t sure it’d make it through TH-cam blocking it. Be patient and I’ll post more!
Jimmy certainly had his very own style, his own sound, and wrote/composed with the best of them.
I saw Jimmy Page in Worcester, Massachusetts October 1988. He was absolutely incredible in concert!
this track is 29 minutes long, and its pure unleashed GENIUS from start to finish! theyre WAAAAAAY out on a limb and its EPIC
You should check out their performance of Since I've Been Loving You at MSG from 1973.
The GOATS...PERIOD! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely.
For this MSG live, I would highly recommend the Page's guitar solo on "No Quarter". The song should highlights John Paul Jones' playing, but Page's solo was spot on and It's just one of the best Page's solo recorded live.
That's actually my favourite Page solo largely because it is a genre of his own being not really rock, blues, jazz, fusion or anything else that makes him comparable with others. When he was in the zone he was simply untouchable.
The longer version of the solo on the original soundtrack album instead of the shorter re-mastered version is his very best solo imho. The feeling and fluidity of it is simply beautiful...
Bonzo was definitely intense but if you watch a little closer you'll notice him and Jonsey sharing a little laugh and smile together. Oh, what the heck, I found it for you...check it out at 4 min 10 sec mark. Brings back seeing them in person.
Jones tells bohnom oops when he comes in to soon.
I always liked their music but never saw them live.Jimmy was a great one.I will have to watch some live videos of them so I can see more of what Jimmy was all about.Thanks Travis for this.Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays whichever you prefer.
Merry Christmas to you too!!! Looking forward to what 2023 has in store!
Jimmy IS a great one!
It was recorded for the movie The Song Remains the Same
Which I watched about a dozen times in the mid 70s at the midnight movies,
'Dazed And Confused' is Jimmy Page 101 right there, lol. Straight, no chaser.
So many millions of miles ahead of the other one you did last week !!! Cheers my friend from you #1 fan in Toronto, Canada - home of RUSH. You are helping me so much dealing with my depression which is much worse this time of year
100%
@@ChasingAnthems this didn't even show Jimmy with the bow!! This was a short segment from Dazed And Confused! You need to see this entire 28 minutes of this to see Jimmy FIR REAL!!
As good as he was on guitar his producer role was equally was good. Vastly underrated as a producer but invented a lot of new techniques in the studio. “ orchestra of guitars”… the guitar army he called it. You are right boy could they improvise. Greatest ever
I've broken several remote controls trying to play this solo when I was a kid, If you know what I mean 😉 Jimmy is such a legend
Greatest guitarist on the planet! He produced all their albums too!! Genius!! And Zeppelin was the greatest band to grace this world!!
Really?? Both greatest guitarist and greatest band?? your opinion, and I respect your passion for your fav band, but I would have to say no on both counts!
@@dougreed2257 I would say she's correct on both counts!
I agree, at their best no others come close...
@@javlohudzlin4829 thats ok,but i wouldnt,as long as you think they are amazing then thats whats important to you😊
Total Agreement !!
Oh how many times I went to the "midnight movies" to see this before video tape. I saw them in '78 in Oakland.
Great video.. thanks!
Led Zeppelin played 3-nights at Madison Square Garden and one of those nights was the best live performance of this band ever. If you find the right night of 'Since I've Been Loving You' is worth a reaction. :) Otherwise, the live performance of 'In My Time of Dying' from their Earl's Court Concert is a better example of Jimmy's magic with a slide guitar. Studio? 'You Shook Me', 'How Many More Times' , and 'Dazed and Confused' from the first album titled 'Led Zeppelin' are worth a reaction.
Great commentary! ☮
Jimmy Page was a session guitarist in the sixties before joining The Yardbirds. He played on many hit records including It's Not Unusual by Tom Jones, and A Little Help From My Friends by Joe Cocker.
Just imagine if Jimmy had been allowed to play on AND produce ALL of that Cocker LP. It would be even MORE legendary than it is. A missed opportunity.
And Goldfinger (bond movie) and Sunshine Superman (Donovan) and on and on
Just have to throw in
Van Morison's Gloria"
He did all the guitar work"
This got cranked through headphones back Christmas time 1977, I was 11
Jimmy Page is the man!!!!
The first time I heard them live was in 1972. Though I've heard many great Jazz, Country and Rock guitarists over the years, there was a " certain something " that distinguished Page from the rest: a kind of "Rock Star-swagger" that combines the energy of " out of control-slop " with the creative abandon required for great Hard Rock.
No Quarter from this same live album/concert is the best live guitar solo in rock history . Stairway to Heaven live off this same live album and Comfortably numb live off Pink Floyd's Pulse DVD are a very close second !
Totally
Zeppelin's ability to improvise and turn a 5 minutes song into a 20+ minute masterpiece was incredible
At about the 4:15 mark and on, I can see you just start to get mesmerized. Dazed and Confused live from this film has always had that effect on me. It is just epic.
For a quick runaround of my fav Zep live stuff - msg73 since I’ve been loving you (there are several versions of the different dates), msg73 jimmys solo in no quarter, earls court75 acoustic set and knebworth 79 Kashmir
1973, July 28th I believe. It was a Saturday night and I was at this concert with a girl I had met 2 days before. A very good friend had 4 tickets he had won from a radio give away. He called me and I flew in from Dallas. The girl was the cousin of his Ole lady. We were 3 rows back from the band.
When I was two I remember the first 45 I ever listened to was Nowhere Man by The Beatles, out of dozens of 45's I remember the Capitol emblem, then in `68 remember see them on The Smothers Brothers show. But when I was attending first grade and heard the Immigrant Song? That flipped me on my head, my older brother bought all three albums Zep I -III, the world was never the same.
I never saw them live, but always seen them individually. What a legacy. I wish Jimmy gave us more after Zep, but he gave us more than most people will ever no before Zep. He was always involved with greatness at the ultimate levels.
I was old enough to see Zeppelin in concert, I just never did. I DID see "The Song Remains the Same" in a theater when it came out. Then you get the DVD, which after a while you can watch about once a year.
Its amazing how great page was and is. Not even technically speaking. Just his phrasing and melodies he created were really breathtaking. Add to it the technical prowess and we're lucky he took up guitar. Very very entertaining.
I was at secondary school in the UK when I first heard Led Zeppelin. It was probably 1970. I could not believe the music I was hearing. The impact of it is hard to describe at that time.
There were lots of very, very good lead guitarists around at that time, but somehow to me (and musical taste is a personal thing) Jimmy Page was just better than the rest.
You identified that he played with a freedom and even hit wrong notes from time to time. And I agree that is part of what made him great. IMHO he had a 'loose' style and didn't lose any sleep over hitting a wrong note. It was the overall picture that was important to him..
A friend once said to me that when he decorated a room, he wasn't too bothered if all the edges were perfect or everything else wasn't pristine. He said noone looks at that when they enter a room. All they see is the overall effect.
Anyway, regardless of what musical taste anyone has, I wish a Merry Christmas to all.
I taught myself to play the drums listening to Led Zeppelin in 1976. No quarter is most mesmerizing studio or live to me, thank you.
Saw Zep 7 times.some shows were beyond belief.i,m still in awe.
You are blessed.
He’s on fire with that riff pure power.
Saw them live in 77 on my Birthday for Free ! BD Present , Freaking Awsome!!
Saw them in 75 & 77. They were born for live shows. The first time it took me two songs to realize that's really Led Zeppelin! They project a real force from the stage. I have seen everyone back then and never felt that anywhere else. And Bonham is front and center in every song. Enjoyed the reaction.
I saw them in 75 & 77 as well. My first ever concert, Feb 75 in St. Louis. Still to date the best show I've seen. 3-1/2 hours, no breaks, 3 encores. Worst seats I ever had (way up, slightly behind the stage backdrop, looking at Page's back, occasionally Plant, and Bonham through the backdrop), but best show ever.
Unfortunately, the 77 show was in Chicago and was the night they cancelled about 20-30 mins into it. Official story, Page was sick. Semi-official story, Page was strung out on heroin. Being there, I observed non-stop fireworks over the heads of the people on the floor (indoor arena), even as Plant begged them to stop. I observed the band get progressively more pissed off about it, and less involved in their performance. Last song, a roadie through a chair out behind Page, and he finished the song seated. Then, they took a "15 minute break", and never came back.
Thing about the Page sick/heroin stories, is I've heard from people at the other nights (around 4 total, I think) in Chicago that time, with all reports being outstanding. In other words, a normal night for them. The show I attended (2nd of the 4, but I'm not sure) was the only one affected. My opinion, the crowd and the fireworks may have not been THE reason, but I'm pretty sure it was a contributing factor.
So, which shows did you see in 75 & 77?
@@brolinofvandar The 75 show was at the Richfield Coliseum near Cleveland OH. In 77 I saw them at the Pontiac Silverdome. Your description of the show in Chicago was similar to this. A lot more people got in than tickets sold. Some say 77,000 people. I think there were many more. Sorry your show got cut short.
@@Cashcrop54 My one consolation is the show is actually documented in the books, like Hammer Of the Gods. So, "I was there" for an event worth a specific mention. I'd rather have the show, but I got a "story"...
The Chicago show was better seats than the St. Louis show, but still off the side of the stage. I did finally see Page play from the front, in the 80's in Jax, FL with the Firm. Great show, all members of the band had great solos.
Jax was a great place for a concert. General admission, and you could show up five minutes before the show, walk right down, front and center and pick your spot in the near empty venue. Then turn around five minutes into the show and see a packed crowd. Everyone showed up at the last minute. Made it easy to get your optimum position for the show.
@@brolinofvandar I have not looked but your shows may be on the Led Zeppelin Boots site on TH-cam. Both shows I went to are there. Not the best quality but still amazing.
@@Cashcrop54 Thanks, I'll have to look into that. I've actually ran across recordings of the 75 St. Louis show on TH-cam a couple of times. First find was saved to my favorites, but it disappeared before I had the 3+ hours to listen to the whole thing.
Would be nice to have my own copy of that 75 show, given how good it was and that it was also my first ever concert.
This isn't 'music'.... this is a collection of the galactic themes of humanity... a perpetual exploration in creativity....wow
jimmy's solo of 'white summer' on that cheap guitar is awesome too.
p.s. Listen to the solo from No Quarter off the sa,è live album. I learned alot of my country licks from Page. Saw Zeppelin’s last American concert in the USA, Oakland, 1977!
Just a little anecdote about Zeppelin - I attended The Bath and West Jazz and Blues festival near Shepton Mallet back in 1969 (sorry if I got the name wrong). This was the precursor to the Glastonbury music festivals. And - here I saw Zeppelin for the first and only time live. But my pal, Wayne Lancaster, feeling that Zeppelin had 'sold out', refused to listen and buried himself in his sleeping bag. It was a great festival over three days, I think. Floyd were there along with Santana, Canned Heat - and - many other 'greats'. Donovan gave an hour and a half session in the sunshine to fill in because a band had failed to arrive. I remember the clouds.
stumbled across your site,that intro is epic,nice to see you were rockin out to it,seen zeppelin 3 times at the Garden in 77,The anticipation walking out of port authority and the electricity in the air,no joke,man ya could of cut the electricity of this mysterious band w a knife with the smell of hot pretzels in the air,it was dusk making that walk to the Garden,unreal.
I believe this may have been filmed at Shepperton Studio and not live . I remember hearing they changed directors because they didn’t like a lot of the concert footage and the new director wanted to reshoot some performances . Live or studio it’s a brilliant performance.
Unlike the Beatles who had George Martin the so called 5th Beatle produce & a host of other musicians participate Page also produced all of Zeps albums & he was tapping a decade before EVH. To me they were the greatest Rock band head & shoulders above all else. Floyd was up there & the Beatles were probably the top vocal group, melody hit makers of all time
I was lucky enough to see Zep live 9 times. Then I saw Pagey solo, and with The Firm. They were all about the groove and the swing. It is such an amazing thing to play with musicians who allow one-another this freedom. To interact with one-another in the moment and chase the dream together. Having a great drummer, first and foremost, is the bedrock cornerstone of any great band (if you don't have a GREAT drummer, just forget about it). Having a mature and wise rhythm section that can groove and swing with that drummer is next on the list. A keyboardist who understands and fully grasps dynamic arrangement is next. As a guitarist/composer, I can't tell you how many times having this type of musician with me has taken my compositions to an entirely higher level. And it is just so much exciting fun when you are all deep in it together! A roller-coaster adventure through the universe on the knife's edge. Your next stop on your video adventure here is Jeff Beck's live version (Ronnie Scott's) of "Where Were You?"
My God I love how a 1960 Gibson Les Paul sounds when played by Jimmy. Awesome just awesome.
In fact, it is a 1959.
Gee wiz... the vid cut b4 the most jaw dropping part of the solo.. involving a violin bow. 😞
Dang sorry about that. I have seen that clip and it’s amazing!
The reason it look that way is most of the close up was taped in a studio in London in 74.
When asked about his playing style I remember him saying something like " I'm not a technique player, I'm an emotion player."
Page is the legend his signature is that cello bow he plays on the guitar.
this is total improv, they never played the same song the same way twice!
Saw them in 77...unforgettable...
I think that the essence of Page was in driving the narrative of the song. Not much room left for brilliant solo work yet he managed it sometimes. He had a few memorable solo moments but Led Zeppelin shined the brightest as a Whole.
This is the most extraordinary music I listened to as a young kid. Music, rock music, guitar playing reached a place with Jimmy Page that I’m not so sure has been achieved by anyone else. Others were great at what they did, but maybe their styles weren’t as expansive as Page’s. Just look at everything that happened in this piece of Dazed And Confused.
im not sure what was in that orange juice back stage but jimmy was on fire in this concert,
Have you checked out the original line up for Ten Years After with Alvin Lee?
I can't believe you are reviewing after the violin bow solo. That is one of the guitar solos of all time.
Been into Zep since a kid in the 70's. Always brings goosebumps. Glad to see others enjoying it. If anyone hasn't heard of 'Mr. Jimmy', he's probably one of the few who've managed to nail Page's unique techniques. Watch him here play "The Song Remains The Same" on double neck. (same concert). Especially note the hybrid picking Page used extensively. Imagine playing this live and jigging on the stage! th-cam.com/video/bhdj9CDTj6M/w-d-xo.html
Thank you I’ll check it out!
@@ChasingAnthems Enjoy!
BTW: He has 2 accounts. Check out this live version of "Rock n' Roll" too. He nails the solo with all it's scratchy and percussive elements.😉 th-cam.com/video/mmV3_MpwzJI/w-d-xo.html)
All of the footage used in the concert movie was filmed during three consecutive nights at the end of July 1973. Yes, they're all wearing the same clothes, although they were not thrilled about it.
Nice reaction but it's a shame you didn't listen to Page's entire solo, the ending minutes of which were fricking incredible. The man was in a different zone.
I saw Zeppelin in 73, 75, and on two consecutive nights in 1977 when they played six nights at the forum here in L.A. As far as I'm concerned they are simply the best band I have ever seen. The second best band would be Rush.
A lot of this improvised. The RHCP's start all there live shows start with an improv. Zepp go on a long makin it up as they go and it can have some misses but the hits are at the heights of music creation.
You seem to love a good guitar solo so maybe you should check out Andrew Latimer of the band CAMEL and their song ‘ICE’. There is a great live version periodically available on YT. Also no sign on the channel yet of ‘Comfortably Numb’ by Pink Floyd (Pulse concert version is the GOAT solo by the unassailable David Gilmour). Both of these are truly EPIC
You should do a vid on Jeff Beck who played with Page in the Yardbirds
while you can probably find better/ crazier performances from mag and earls court, my favorite is probably the one from royal albert hall. So young and raw sounding. And the filming of it was kinda like this one.
epic....what year was this performance???
Check out Johnny Highland, and Brent Mason, Working man Blues.
I am a HUGE Jimmy Page fan, but if you've never spotlighted Led Zeppelin as a band, focusing on solos (a chunk of song interlude from a live song, essentially) really has you missing the forest by looking a one individual tree (i.e. you have no context). Check out "When the Levee Breaks," "Immigrant Song," and "Kashmir" for some Led Zeppelin context, then the solos will be impressive as their own thing. Their music isn't about solos or having 3 master musicians playing with the best front man of the 70s (Robert Plant). The sum is greater than ANY of their individual parts.
I read an interview with Page in the '60s where he said he had to play every day because he wasn't a "natural guitarist".
You can certainly hear how sloppy he is but he is also something that few modern rock guitar players and almost no metal players are. He is an improviser and happy to go off on tangents just to see where it takes him. Though I saw them three times by the time Led Zep II came out and loved them then I was not so much a fan by the time of this video. I still fully admire his adventurousness though
Aah! You've just started talking about him exploring. That's what he does.
I have attended 300+ concerts and seen most of the classic rock bands in their prime. Led Zeppelin remains the greatest live band I have ever seen - better than Floyd, the Stones, The Who, Black Sabbath with Ozzy, Van Halen, Rush, Aerosmith, Clapton, Jethro Tull, Yes (although Yes in their prime was outstanding)...all of them. Zep was the best.
Great commentary.."they let each other breathe"..Bonham didn't miss beats lol
It’s really hard to pick the “best guitarist”. Page is certainly up in the modern rock/pop era. But take a guy like Danny Gaton. Few could touch him. Or Chet Atkins, Django Reinhardt. So many styles.
Nobody could touch gatton he was brilliant as was Lenny breau Roy Buchanan Rory Gallagher Gary Moore Alvin lee frank marino and last but hardly least the great Scotty Anderson out of Cincinnati Ohio one of the best today playing a tele check him out!
Jimmy is a god , every solo different .
Jimmy pages style stems from being a great session player in his early days. He was in a few bands after his sessions day's but the man new from the start with Led Zeppelin were he was taking the band and the shear overall talents of each musician in the band that had mastered there own instruments made it easy and very comfortable for page to play the way he did. Zeppelin is and will never be touched as being the only assembly of great musicians to ever work together. To this day they continue to hold the world record for the most people to EVER attend any type musical concert. And they did it without social media or tv! Word of mouth!
Bonham, Jones, Page, best rythem section in the business when they were active. Further, I can't think of many guitar players in Page's caliber. You should check out Rory Gallagher.
Your analysis of Jimmy's creative freedom would have rang more true had you included the violin bow section.
I’m a half decent guitarist. Pub band sort of thing. It’s depressing to know that that’s probably my ceiling. However hard I work, I will never be fit to tie Jimmy’s shoes. Genius comes along so infrequently.
You should check out Robin Trower song called Bridge of Sighs
I think I requested this before but in case I didn't can you please consider reacting to RUSH - La Villa Strangiato - the Pinkpop performance. Thank you.
If you could send me a link I’ll add it to my list. Cheers!

Thank you !
Check out the song " Hotdog" for a little country flavor.
Suggestion: Bolaro...
Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page
Jimmy Page I heard went to school to be a sportscaster and at 5 foot 7 could barely look over the table thing in the studio if this is true at all.
I think they played 5 sold out shows at the Garden on that tour.
If i am not mistaken a lot of the guitar had to be dubbed in afterwards because of an issue with the original recording. All the same though it is Jimmy Page.
genius
Been searching the comments and header to find out which song/performance this was ????
Not the best guitarist from a technical point of view, but certainly one of the greatest composers in rock. "Songwriter" is too small a word for what Jimmy Page did .. he was a composer, arranger, producer and architect of the entire soundscape of Zeppelin.
He was a great improviser during solo sections and phenomenal at setting moods. This solo is an excerpt from a looong solo section in "Dazed & Confused" one of the large set-pieces of any Zeppelin concert up until 1975. In this section we can hear the band (Robert Plant) improvising a bit of Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco" into the Jimmy Page solo ... creating a truly eerie effect juxtaposing the subject matter of the hippie anthem with the subject matter of Dazed & Confused.
Perhaps a bad ACID trip combined with insanity.
Cool to see the younger generation reacting to grandpas music. Cheers man! 🍺
Did you noticed the drummer keeping time with the lead instead of the bass. And he also does a lot of triple notes.
Jimmy Page, The God of Rock Guitar period
Page played lead. And rhythm. And lead-rhythm. And rhythm-lead. And acoustic. He was above all great all-round guitarist (and producer obviously). And he was exciting rather than just technically good. If you want smooth, listen to Clapton (yawn!). The other thing to remember is that, subject to guest vocals on one track, Zeppelin was just the four of them. Forget these bands which have two extra guitarists, three keyboard players, two drummers and a choir of backing vocalists!
listen to Hot Dog..a bit of country in that tune
