+C moore You're right there. I'm glad we've had ol'slow hands & Jeff Beck allthese years. I regularly imagine how Hendrix might have evolved in his playing.
I was fortunate enough to be at woodstock. When he played 90% of the people had already gone. Personally, I think he would've been something like Clapton and gone back to blues. His idol was Buddy Guy. In the early 90's Buddy's drummer lived in Tulsa and was a friend of mine. His name was George Nicely. I am saying was because he isn't with us anymore.
I personally do not like Robert Plants new band or it's music or his hack job on Led Zeppelin's Music with his fellow noise makers. I think he got too big for his own britches and is not respectful as a work that Led Zeppelin did, but that's my personal opinion.
@@FredBTs They are in thier 70s, so I guess Robert wants to slow down and Mello out. I noticed that he can't hit the high notes like he did when Led Zeppelin was at the top of thier game. There's no crime in liking Robert Plant's new music, but for me, it's too mello, not hard driving and doesn't move me except to turn him off.
This is an incredible interview. Finally an interviewer who gets out of the way and let the the guest have his time answering. This is rare. Page is humble despite his towering talent and achievements. His artistry is inspiring.
Ahhh, Jimmy Page. No other guitarist ever grabbed hold of my heart and soul like him. From the very first time I ever heard a Led Zeppelin song on the radio as a kid (I won't tell you how long ago *that* was) I was blown away by the power and expression of his playing. Jimmy Page, a genius on so many levels, and always my very favorite guitarist!!
goopah, I agree, being from the US I am not familiar with the interviewer but he did do a great job ! Just think of Jimmy Fallon doing a interview with Page , the HORROR ! Pull up the interview of Fallon trying to talk to Roger Waters, on The tonight show , so sad.
One of the things I love about musicians back-in-the-day, as they say, is their depth of intelligence and oft times class. If you listen to many from the epic 70s bands (Floyd, Zep, Queen, ELP, Rush, Genesis, King Crimson, etc.) you often hear very well thought-out analysis and insight, so much of which is lacking today.
Check out The Mars Volta's De-Loused in the Comatorium, Arcade Fire's The Suburbs, The Killer's Sam's Town, Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion, Tame Impala's Lonerism, and tUnE-yArDs w h o k i l l
Any Song On Acoustic Guitar Sounds interesting. I'll check them out. In recent years I haven't heard much that is even half decent other than the occasional, like Muse. Thanks much.
Maybe but it is a totally different era now. Back then you had the really big top-tier bands and limited mediums on which to listen to them. So I think that they seemed more larger than life as opposed to today's bands which exist in a more watered-down environment. Also I don't know if you noticed but every band you listed are British...except for Rush. Maybe the Brits are more well-spoken? A lot of younger Americans don't respect or appreciate the English language and don't sound as insightful as a result.
what a wonderful spirit jimmy page is. i hope he lives a very long life. too bad they dont show the pictures being shown on the big screen during this interview
Hi. I had a small music shop. I used to sell cassettes. I'm 53 now. They were the most important famous people I met in my life. They were so normal, sincere and gentlemen. No complimants or anything. We talked for about 20-25 minutes and drank tea with Robert.After the concert was finished I tried to learn where do they would stay in.Next day I waited by the hotel.When Robert went out I kissed him and hugged him. He Asked me about the previous day's concert performance.I said time passed so fast like a dream. I said I came about 1000 km from my town to İstanbul for the concert he said please drive carrefully. I took LZ 3 LP and they signed the LP's.While I was waiting for Jimmy, he was shopping at a peddler who sold cheap imitation watches near the hotel street. I talked to him for 5-6 minutes. He was also gentleman, sincere like a normal person. I loved them more because they are the most important band of history (according to me) and so normal people like a teacher or friends. Sorry for my poor english. LZ is the most honorable band of history because when Bonzo died, they finished Led Zeppelin in the most popular period. They could find another drummer but they didn't choose this way because some things are more important than money. I am proud of myself to meet these priceless people I met.Thank god for creating Led Zeppelin and Ahmet Ertegün (the Turkih Manager who discovered them) Hope they will live long and happily I wrote this in about 30-40 minutes. Bye.
Back in the late 90's bizarrely I found myself sitting next to Jimmy on a grass bank backstage at WOMAD in the UK whilst watching Hossam Ramzi's Egyptian orchestra, just me and him with no one around us realising it was the great man for a good 20-30 mins. Had the pleasure of chatting to him about what would become the Page/Plant phase. He was slightly cagey but polite and friendly. Eventually people started to realise it was him and he could tell he was becoming an attraction so he shuffled off. 10 years later I bumped into Carman Jones ( Plant) whom I 'd got to know loosely , I had my 1 year old son in a baby sling around my front and I looked up to see Robert standing next to her. I joke with my son now that he's met Percy but was too young to know! Just need to bump into Jonesy and contact Bonzo with an Ouija board and it'd be a full set.. Life certainly can be pleasantly strange sometimes!
Just another example of how the media does a different job in Europe as opposed to the US where I live. This is a fantastic interview with much respect given to Mr Page.
And the audience. I just tried to watch a similar interview, filmed in the USA but the audience kept whooping, clapping and cheering. It's not a sign of respect, it's just a bit weird.
Britain does it differently from continental Europe, very different style of people mate,.we are so different in mindset on almost every topic, our approach is different , they are far ruder and humourless east of the English Channel,🇬🇧👍🇺🇸
This is most likely the best interview I have ever seen in my life. Here we have the single most influential person in rock and roll history (my opinion of course). Telling the most complete history of his professional life. Very few artists get the opportunity to tell a front to back story of their lives. This is fantastic to say the least. We were blessed that Terry Reid had other things to do.
He is just a really nice genuine guy with lots of stories. It just makes me smile to see this legend who I look up to so much be so down-to-earth and humble.
Well, he has been known to dabble in magic, mysticism, and the black arts. He bought a castle that once belonged to late satanist Aleister Crowley, and was a member of The Golden Dawn ,which was an occultic special interest group.
The magician himself sitting there chatting it up. One of the most interesting musicians of the era. The photo montage lives up to the hype. Everything JIMMY PAGE has a mystique.
Its the astrological symbol for Saturn, which rules Jimmy Page's birth sign. The symbol comes from the sixteenth century book by Gerolamo Cardano - look it up, and you'll see it.
Zoso is a sigil. Along with the other three symbols, one for each member. A sigil is used in magical workings, mostly black magic. You conjure demons by placing the sigil of the particular demon in front of you and hold the image in your mind and say the incantation; putting it simply and incompletely.
my uncle worshiped the ground that Page! walked on! he was my uncles favorite guitarist! hands down! and my uncle was THE Reason why i chose LED-ZEPPELIN-I(One) as my very first vinyl-record-album and as a six & a-half year old boy listening to that album for the very first time! it just simply blew my little! F'N! Mind!!!.. so much so i asked my uncle for more ZEPPELIN! and the next morning he gave me his old copy of LED-ZEPPELIN-II(Two) also on vinyl-record! as-well! and of course that one blew my F'N! Mind!! too! and so i've been proudly listening to LED-ZEPPELIN!!!.. Ever-Since-Then!!!.. and even though my uncle is no longer around in this life! some strange way ZEPPELIN's Music! keeps me in touch with my uncle every single time that i listen to them no matter what song it is by them!... so nogt only is ZEPPELIN great! awesome! F'N! Music! but it's able to keep me in touch with a dearly loved one who's been deceased for just over! #8-year's! now!... which as sad as it is for me! is also amazing! to me! as-well! at the same time!... So THANKS!!!.. LED-ZEPPELIN!!!.. For! ALL! The! GREAT! Music! That You Guy's Made!!!.. For ALL US FAN'S!!!.. You! Guy's! ROCK! In Sooo! Many! Ways!.... : )
I don't know about "best" guitarist ever and truth be told, find that label plain silly! Can't be defined!!! What I DO know is this: Jimmy Page is the TASTIEST guitar player ever! He innately knows how to design riffs(especially-his riffs are complete ear candy and just contain mountains of swagger, attitude, imagination, authority, groove, beauty....) and solos that always completely captivate and show an absolute command, solos that "tell a story", savage one minute, beautifully melodic the next! Listening to his production on Zep's albums.....MASTERFUL! A rainbow of sound drenching the air with exotic chords, notes, rhythms...GUITARCHITECTURE is the term used to describe Jimmy's production method, and it fits! I stand in AWE!
He is "the best" in all the terms you've laid out. In those regards he's my favorite. But I'd be in complete denial if I couldn't grant other guitarists are "the best" in other ways.
There’s nothing like Led Zeppelin. Majestic, bombastic, elegant, wistful, spectacularly beautiful, crushing rock guitar. Jimmy is one of the most innovative musicians of all time. Pure genius!
Page is my template for what a musician, creative, & smart business person should be. Ever enthusiastic, always humble, yet obvious in his fierce intelligence & calculated approach. Perfection.
I don't know if members of Led Zeppelin will get to see my comment or not, but if so I want to thank them for the 02 Celebration Day Concert. I bought it on Blue Ray. After the tragic death. After John Bonham died, it was a feeling of unfinished work. So, it was so good to see Led Zeppelin go out on a high note under thier own terms and not being forced to do so. You gave us all 50 years of top notch Rock n Roll. Today's so called Rock Music totally sucks. I can't stand what they are doing. It's noise.
Jimmy page is my favourite rock guitarist of all time. I can honestly state that I do not like every led zep/yardbird’s songs but have always been in awe of his creativity and integrity along with huge talent. He has inspired countless guitarist to work hard and listen to and learn from the guitar greats from all genres. He is also a perfect advocate to speak with students from the creative arts.
I went a very very long way to go to Live AID (in Boulder, Co Wash DC/MD-& was on TV News (NBC 4 6:30 for that feat, going to get the 4 Tix- I called for final directions, then They must've called NBC 4 'cause a van was there, SAT DISH was up 'n ready as a local Pal & I pulled in- total surprise). I didn't care about that so after I had the 4 Tix to L.AID in hand "Sure, first things're first." They cut out my comment re "I came from Boulder Co for this." to clarify what mattered to Me (Really‽) ARE YOU KIDDING ME [GRRR] A LED ZEPPELIN REUNION‽ I WOULDN'T MISS THIS FOR THE WORLD [👉 🌎] & I repeated myself as I was on a mission. I'd driven MD>>NYC for A.R.M.S. at MSG & I know hindsight is worthless; you could ask the Friends who denied the pleasure & that RUSH of being in a part of that HORDE of Male-to-Male Devotion. AS YOU WATCH THE MSG PAGE SET, IT'S NOT THE FULL APPLAUSE TO JIMMY THAT MADE IT TO THE MIC ON STAGE; ADD, I'D SAY ANOTHER 45secs- 1:00 to whatever you can hear, read 'timed' & it was louder than L.AID, but for Jimmy not to be free to speak openly re phil's plans & indifference beyond his own life - I think it's a slander, defamation thing re BRITISH LAW & He wasn't free to speak clearly on the subject until what - a Decade ago? I still read that poor lil guy said 'If it wasn't that - it'd be (ie, HE'D BEEN BLAMED¿ & STILL) for something else.’ that spoiled the picnic. I don't know where that quote from JP was from, but I want to find it. To keep quiet for so long, has to have been a legal situation or a matter of taste/keeping up appearance. From the News then we drove later to Philly & ultimately back to CO, I think only stage people went further distances). NBC ✂️.y "A LED ZEPPELIN REUNION‽"✂️ Out & then on- the interview- I really sounded like a big fan re 'We Are The World' I LOVE that one when Jimmy says the truth about Mr Colons: 'He used that/Zep to promote his own, him self' & he didn't have any other comments on that fact for a few Decades so I wonder if he was just legally liable to wait until some amount of time passed before the truth could have been laid out re wee man. A lot of people are in this we are the world deal & attitude re Phil, but it was a BENEFIT, HELPING OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE STARVING & I THINK I'D BE PREPPED FOR THE OCCASION KNOWING THE FUTURE OF BOXED SETS: CASSETTES, LPS, VHSES>>DVDs, CDs, EPS, DIGITAL FILES & STILL UNKNOWN FORMATS IN THE FUTURE NOT SELLING AS MANY SIMPLY 'CAUSE hE HAD GOTTEN ON THE SAME RISER- DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE 3 SONGS BUT ACTED LIKE A KID WHEN MOON PASSED OUT & THE WHO ASKED FOR A LINE "ANY DRUMMERS?" TO FORM- IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE 🎼, STAY SEATED. YOU'LL ONLY MAKE PROBLEMS! THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING ON ALL NEW & INTERNATIONAL 🌀🌀🌀🎹&🐄💨. IT'S TENS OF MILLIONS THAT WILL NEVER BE ACQUIRED FOR L.AID BECAUSE HE HAD TO NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS EXPECTED TO KNOW. ANYONE KNOWS WHAT SHOW JP's ON WHERE HE FULLY OPENS UP RE THAT SITU' SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL PLEASE?
@@GarrettChelberg-Yeah, plagiarize The Rain Song, Ten Years Gone, The Song Remains the Same, Kashmir, Ramble On, The Ocean…wait a minute, you must be wrong!
I don’t know where to begin , as a teen I turned on to Zeppelin, as the years went by I gradually had become possessed by their music. Zeppelin will live on till the day when the sun finally goes into a red giant stage 🤘🎸 1:21:02 1:21:05
Better than Satriani, Van Halen, Paco De Lucia, Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, John Williams, Andreas Segovia and various accomplished English/Spanish Classical/Flamenco players...
@@Maguirearch He is the best riff maker not overall guitarist. Players like Roy Buchanan and Hendrix. Were far more impressive on the fret board. And more innovative in technique. What page had was the ability to craft catchy but SIMPLE riffs that were memorable. Like on Communication breakdown and Whole lotta love. The whole thing with page is simplistic but unforgettable riffs. Keith Richards had this same ability. An even more basic player. But then you hear riffs like on JUMPING JACK FLASH and START ME UP. And theyre unforgettable.
Bravo to Jimmy Page. It is so good to hear Jimmy Page doing all these recent interviews and sharing his incredible story of his career through an official autobiography. Amazing little peak at this mysterious legend. I do hope that Jimmy does come back to Los Angeles very often and will do more book signing! Led Zeppelin the greatest Rock Band was truly Jimmy Pages' baby and you can recognize it by the twinkle in his eye whenever he speaks of it. So much groundbreaking done for music and the industry. Pretty much AOR FM Radio was because of them! Thank you Jimmy Page for giving us so much. I will always love the burst Les Paul because of you!
The moderator is sharp in keeping the narrative moving nicely. Touches personal and musical and stylistic high points throughout. Just brilliant. Jimmy page really delved into the whole nuts&bolts of the LED ZEPPELIN creative side.
Probably they want the people actually paying to be there (or got there free as fans) to feel even better about themselves that they got exclusive looks at the pics instead of someone not there seeing them on a video later.
The first time I heard Led Zeppelin, I was 14 years old, and my friend played me his older brother's album. It was the fourth album and hearing Black Dog crank through those speakers changed my life. Best rock band ever! Jimmy, in my opinion is tied Jimi Hendrix for best guitarist of all time. Both are/were masters of their craft and did things never done before, profoundly influencing all subsequent guitarists. Mr. Page, however, created Led Zeppelin by picking Robert, Bonzo, and Jones to creat the band of all bands. Really wish Robert old agree to one last World tour. Jason deserves the opportunity to play for his dad, and Bonzo would expect his friend to do it.
You got it! and then Morrison and Jeff Beck and John Mayal and Alvin Lee and all the bar bands that played so well and never got known. God music was good then. I try and try but just cannot get into the groove of the music of today. Thank God for bluegrass music that is still liberated!
Who in the 20th century is more musically/commercially accomplished? He co-wrote most of the songs, produced all the albums, was the 2nd best rock guitarist of all time, and sold well in excess of 200 million albums. Literally no other person in the 20th century had that kind of musical impact, influence and success from that many aspects. Nobody.
Said it all , when the interviewer said: "..Ladies and Gentlemen, the Great Jimmy Page..." I feel blessed by GOD to have been alive as Led Zeppelin Evolved from obscurity into Eternal Legend..
Throughout the music of Zeppelin I've often thought that maybe Rob was the genius or JPJ was or Bonzo or Jimmy and now I realise that it was all of them. Thanks for posting....
After Jimmy was talking about choosing Plant, you could tell he wanted to continue talking about him getting Jones and Bonham into the group, but the interviewer cut him off. Too bad. I would've really liked to here about that. Mr. Page, such a class act. He looked pretty uncomfortable doing this but, I think, in his older years, he's figured out that people want a more inside look. Hence the book. He's always been a master at keeping his audience at arms length, so to speak, and 50 years later he can garner a whole concert hall of people just to here him talk! It is refreshing, in this day and age, he doesn't use his fame as a political platform. It's all about the music!
Awesome watch. Zeppelin is part of music history, and being a teenager when they were in their prime was a privilege few understand. We would argue about Judas Priest being better than Sabbath, Van Halen being better than Boston, but when Zeppelin was mentioned, there was no band close enough to even compare them to. The greatest bands all worshiped these guys, and knew that the level of talent they had could never be recreated......... nor will it ever be. Like Jimmy said.... Devine Intervention.
I have grown to respect the hell out of Page, but there are many big bands from that era that actually think the opposite and think they were hacks. Perhaps it was Jealousy, but these are the facts and they are undisputed and verifiable.
I met Jimmy once in 2006 just me and him standing in the streets of south Kensington in London, had a lovely chat just a nice man.. simply the best. A true rock legend! 🔥🎸
It is just neat to see how BRILLIANT Mr Page is...... this is real enlightening, and has driven me to explore more or the Led Zeppelin catalog........ seeing more now, why I was so drawn to them........
This interview is really worth watching, I'm personally glad that we have Jimmy to speak about these years and elucidate on so much relating to some of the most interesting points and questions. One of the best 'sit down' format interviews I've seen with Jimmy Page in decades. Thanks.
Great and excellent interview! Really enjoyed hearing the stories and, how astute and concise Jimmy is about every detail in his amazing musical career! The interviewer was very classy and respectful to let him speak freely as well. Congrats to you Jimmy for all the beautiful music you brought to the world! All of your fans thank you for it! Led Zeppelin will live on throughout many generations to come!
Jimmy we love you and your musical talent. You gave us a great experience and love for four master craftsmen in their prime. Thank you so so much for all the great music. You are definitely one the greatest guitar players of all time!
Saw LZ in 1969. One thing that struck me, there was a organ on stage with the big long pipes like you would see in a church. JPJ used it just to play the beginning of "Your Time is Gonna Come". It was unforgettable.
First time I heard Led I was about 5yrs old and heard whole lotta love, and the middle part scared the shot out of me it sounded to me a little kid like the bottom of hell very Erie!
I was introduced to Led Zeppelin by a friend on a road trip to the pacific ocean back in 1972. I remember it was on an 8 track. We listened to that album non stop to and from the Pacific. I later went on to see them live in the Seattle Kingdome 1977.
Not taking away anything from the Stones, but Jimmy is a far more interesting and witty interviewee than Keith Richards, who these days is just a caricature of an image. Jimmy exudes authenticity. Kind of like Mark Knopfler, just aging gracefully.
+John Barry Whoa there! I have to strongly disagree. Jimmy is my hero on guitar (I play guitar) but Keith Richards is one very interesting guy. He doesn't speak quite as well as Jimmy does but there isn't much bullshit or artifice in what he says when he realizes that an interviewer is serious. He's an exceedingly down to earth and honest guy and he seems to have no penchant for blowing his own horn. Of course, Keith Richards image is one of a drug war survivor, but he's also the straight shooter in the band. He's got a certain realist sort of sincere morality that belies his image.
Something that Jimmy touched on or indirectly stated a few times during the course of the interview, and especially towards the end, was that Led Zeppelin's totality was greater than the sum of its parts. What a masterpiece of rock immortality they were and remain!
I'm watching this in the time of Corona virus. With so much time on my hands, one of the few pleasures available is listening to Jimmy Page talking about his brilliant career.
Thing that I think is amazing about jimmy page is his level of skill on electric and acoustic guitar there is no drop off usually a person excels on one over the other but not jimmy page
Wow!! There is a you tube Neil Christian audio only " Jet Black". You Must hear it. Lol at 20:00 time or so Page corrects the Book stating the photo was NOT from the first album session but rather the Second album!!!
Master of ceremonies,Mr,James Patrick page, the greatest guitarist in my opinion,no one else will ever match led Zeppelin, stairway to heaven is the best song of all time
Well, many people talk about how great Jimmy Page is, for a multitude of reasons. Listening to Whole Lotta Love today, loud, I came to the conclusion that this is the greatest rock song in rock history. It has everything. Totally groundbreaking in terms of style and content. It heralded in a new era in rock music. Lately, I've been watching the DVD Celebration Day. My estimation of him as a guitarist, already very positive, has soared. His soloing is about what guitar solos should be about - the song. There is a looseness, an edginess in his playing style that is far more effective in expressing feelings and emotions than any of the note-perfect, catalogue-of-super-fast-lick playing guitarists that have emerged since the days of Led Zeppelin.
I always read it as zofo. Lots of mystery around rock music in the 70s. Would occasionally see it appearing as painted on somebody's school haversack or graffiti on a wall. Couldn't happen today with the Internet. Then it was mystery now it would be disinformation.
Chris Hyde Well you can keep on wondering because that’s not the only meaning. Jimmy has said that he will not reveal the true meaning of the symbol. To this day nobody knows what it really means to him. Plant has said that Jimmy pulled him aside one day and said something along the lines of “I am going to tell you the meaning of my symbol once and you mustn’t tell anyone” and Robert says that he has since forgotten what jimmy told him and he won’t tell him anymore. Jimmy says that he won’t ever say what the real meaning of the symbol is, at least not for a very very long time.
Just found this, great interview. Wish they would have cut closer to the pictures that they were talking about as well so you could see more of the details in them.
Absolutely amazing interview but insanely frustrating that the producers of the video were so inept that they rarely showed the actual picture that was the entire subject of each incredible interview segment 👍. Just Mind-numbing
Gandalf Greyhame The movie is superb. Zeppelin live in HD as well as giving a look into their personal lives and Jimmys magic beliefs? How is that not awesome?
A genius before his time. He was right when he said "the critics didn't understand what we were doing". Thank God the rest of us did!!
I think that he's a genius at the exact right time. Imagine how things would have been had he been lost to another era.
+Mark Thuaux At least we still would have had Clapton, Beck, and Hendrix.
+C moore You're right there. I'm glad we've had ol'slow hands & Jeff Beck allthese years. I regularly imagine how Hendrix might have evolved in his playing.
I was fortunate enough to be at woodstock. When he played 90% of the people had already gone. Personally, I think he would've been something like Clapton and gone back to blues. His idol was Buddy Guy. In the early 90's Buddy's drummer lived in Tulsa and was a friend of mine. His name was George Nicely. I am saying was because he isn't with us anymore.
Xavier Marroquin Thank you sir!
"I went to see Plant's band and he had 3 or 4 guitar players and I thought 'wait a minute, I could do all that on my own'" HAHA! Right on Jimmy.
Great interview.
I personally do not like Robert Plants new band or it's music or his hack job on Led Zeppelin's Music with his fellow noise makers. I think he got too big for his own britches and is not respectful as a work that Led Zeppelin did, but that's my personal opinion.
Joseph Tabar I like his new stuff, but not as much as Led Zeppelin.
@@FredBTs They are in thier 70s, so I guess Robert wants to slow down and Mello out. I noticed that he can't hit the high notes like he did when Led Zeppelin was at the top of thier game. There's no crime in liking Robert Plant's new music, but for me, it's too mello, not hard driving and doesn't move me except to turn him off.

Props to the interviewer for letting him talk and finish his thoughts. A rarity these days.
I agree. Just imagine what it would have been like if Graham Norton or Jonathan Ross had interviewed him.
Jeers to the editor for not showing ONE of the photographs.
Agreed! It is rare form of interviewing these days.
copyright clearance and all that on the 'net is already a problem. This would have put Jimmy and the Guardian liable.
goopah, I agree, being from the US I am not familiar with the interviewer but he did do a great job ! Just think of Jimmy Fallon doing a interview with Page , the HORROR ! Pull up the interview of Fallon trying to talk to Roger Waters, on The tonight show , so sad.
One of the things I love about musicians back-in-the-day, as they say, is their depth of intelligence and oft times class.

how does king crimson make it into that list? lol....
what a wonderful spirit jimmy page is. i hope he lives a very long life. too bad they dont show the pictures being shown on the big screen during this interview
jimmy is great.
strange that the point he makes about writing the book and the thrust of the interview is photos .
Just playing devil's advocate: perhaps they couldn't for copyright reasons, or maybe Jimmy didn't want to "give them away".
and the sound man can't even EQ the mics, they should have had Jimmy look at the board to get rid of the feedback.
@@TippiGordon those things come into play - the publisher wants to sell the book.
I hate that he along with Plant and Jones will die in my lifetime

Same. I knew someone who met him and apparently he was quite nice.
love his shyness/nervousness
Since I'll never get to talk to him myself this is the next best thing....thanks youtube and thanks to Guardian Membership.
Just another example of how the media does a different job in Europe as opposed to the US where I live. This is a fantastic interview with much respect given to Mr Page.
And the audience. I just tried to watch a similar interview, filmed in the USA but the audience kept whooping, clapping and cheering. It's not a sign of respect, it's just a bit weird.
Britain does it differently from continental Europe, very different style of people mate,.we are so different in mindset on almost every topic, our approach is different , they are far ruder and humourless east of the English Channel,🇬🇧👍🇺🇸
Jimmy Page is a genius! I must say “The Rain Song” is one of my favorites! The artistry of it is absolutely incredible!
This is most likely the best interview I have ever seen in my life. Here we have the single most influential person in rock and roll history (my opinion of course). Telling the most complete history of his professional life. Very few artists get the opportunity to tell a front to back story of their lives. This is fantastic to say the least. We were blessed that Terry Reid had other things to do.
Best interview ever! I could listen to Jimmy all day, amazing story teller. Thank you for bringing this together.
He is just a really nice genuine guy with lots of stories. It just makes me smile to see this legend who I look up to so much be so down-to-earth and humble.
he is like a wonderful old wizard, with magic still dancing at his finger tips
+Shift Z Channel He is.
The greatest rock composer of all time. And such a beautiful soul.
Well, he has been known to dabble in magic, mysticism, and the black arts. He bought a castle that once belonged to late satanist Aleister Crowley, and was a member of The Golden Dawn ,which was an occultic special interest group.
The magician himself sitting there chatting it up. One of the most interesting musicians of the era. The photo montage lives up to the hype. Everything JIMMY PAGE has a mystique.
Looks more like Golem.
"Will you ever reveal the meaning behind zoso?"
"No."
Its the astrological symbol for Saturn, which rules Jimmy Page's birth sign. The symbol comes from the sixteenth century book by Gerolamo Cardano - look it up, and you'll see it.
@@tektoniks_architects yes, it's based on those things, but he made the symbol himself, didn't he?
@@lucaskywalkermusic7697 Yes he made. We never know why he done it and what it means, until Jimmy's autobiography I think
I feel blessed getting to listen to his life story.He's so down to earth.Thanx
Zoso is a sigil. Along with the other three symbols, one for each member. A sigil is used in magical workings, mostly black magic. You conjure demons by placing the sigil of the particular demon in front of you and hold the image in your mind and say the incantation; putting it simply and incompletely.
my uncle worshiped the ground that Page! walked on! he was my uncles favorite guitarist! hands down! and my uncle was THE Reason why i chose LED-ZEPPELIN-I(One) as my very first vinyl-record-album and as a six & a-half year old boy listening to that album for the very first time! it just simply blew my little! F'N! Mind!!!.. so much so i asked my uncle for more ZEPPELIN! and the next morning he gave me his old copy of LED-ZEPPELIN-II(Two) also on vinyl-record! as-well! and of course that one blew my F'N! Mind!! too! and so i've been proudly listening to LED-ZEPPELIN!!!.. Ever-Since-Then!!!.. and even though my uncle is no longer around in this life! some strange way ZEPPELIN's Music! keeps me in touch with my uncle every single time that i listen to them no matter what song it is by them!... so nogt only is ZEPPELIN great! awesome! F'N! Music! but it's able to keep me in touch with a dearly loved one who's been deceased for just over! #8-year's! now!... which as sad as it is for me! is also amazing! to me! as-well! at the same time!... So THANKS!!!.. LED-ZEPPELIN!!!.. For! ALL! The! GREAT! Music! That You Guy's Made!!!.. For ALL US FAN'S!!!.. You! Guy's! ROCK! In Sooo! Many! Ways!.... : )
I don't know about "best" guitarist ever and truth be told, find that label plain silly! Can't be defined!!! What I DO know is this: Jimmy Page is the TASTIEST guitar player ever! He innately knows how to design riffs(especially-his riffs are complete ear candy and just contain mountains of swagger, attitude, imagination, authority, groove, beauty....) and solos that always completely captivate and show an absolute command, solos that "tell a story", savage one minute, beautifully melodic the next! Listening to his production on Zep's albums.....MASTERFUL! A rainbow of sound drenching the air with exotic chords, notes, rhythms...GUITARCHITECTURE is the term used to describe Jimmy's production method, and it fits! I stand in AWE!
Treff Bennett , Good God Bro, You frickin called it!!! How eloquently put, couldn't have been done better!!!
He is "the best" in all the terms you've laid out. In those regards he's my favorite. But I'd be in complete denial if I couldn't grant other guitarists are "the best" in other ways.
Well said!
There’s nothing like Led Zeppelin. Majestic, bombastic, elegant, wistful, spectacularly beautiful, crushing rock guitar. Jimmy is one of the most innovative musicians of all time. Pure genius!
I so love this man. He's so beautiful, sweet, and humble.
Page is my template for what a musician, creative, & smart business person should be. Ever enthusiastic, always humble, yet obvious in his fierce intelligence & calculated approach. Perfection.
Ese es concepto preciso para Jimmy ... PERFECCIÓN 🎸✨️🙏✌️
Best interview I have ever seen with Jimmy Page. Please tour or something buddy...3 years since this was posted.
Legend has it that every time he moves his hand, somewhere in the universe a theremin can be heard.
Seth Adams that’s awesome!
Hahaha yesssss!
So perfect!!
The level of recollection this man has of minute details from the very beginnings of his career is astounding.
Jimmys doing well! Good to see.
I don't know if members of Led Zeppelin will get to see my comment or not, but if so I want to thank them for the 02 Celebration Day Concert. I bought it on Blue Ray. After the tragic death. After John Bonham died, it was a feeling of unfinished work. So, it was so good to see Led Zeppelin go out on a high note under thier own terms and not being forced to do so. You gave us all 50 years of top notch Rock n Roll. Today's so called Rock Music totally sucks. I can't stand what they are doing. It's noise.
Jimmy page is my favourite rock guitarist of all time. I can honestly state that I do not like every led zep/yardbird’s songs but have always been in awe of his creativity and integrity along with huge talent. He has inspired countless guitarist to work hard and listen to and learn from the guitar greats from all genres. He is also a perfect advocate to speak with students from the creative arts.
I went a very very long way to go to Live AID (in Boulder, Co Wash DC/MD-& was on TV News (NBC 4 6:30 for that feat, going to get the 4 Tix- I called for final directions, then They must've called NBC 4 'cause a van was there, SAT DISH was up 'n ready as a local Pal & I pulled in- total surprise). I didn't care about that so after I had the 4 Tix to L.AID in hand "Sure, first things're first." They cut out my comment re "I came from Boulder Co for this." to clarify what mattered to Me (Really‽) ARE YOU KIDDING ME [GRRR] A LED ZEPPELIN REUNION‽ I WOULDN'T MISS THIS FOR THE WORLD [👉 🌎] & I repeated myself as I was on a mission. I'd driven MD>>NYC for A.R.M.S. at MSG & I know hindsight is worthless; you could ask the Friends who denied the pleasure & that RUSH of being in a part of that HORDE of Male-to-Male Devotion. AS YOU WATCH THE MSG PAGE SET, IT'S NOT THE FULL APPLAUSE TO JIMMY THAT MADE IT TO THE MIC ON STAGE; ADD, I'D SAY ANOTHER 45secs- 1:00 to whatever you can hear, read 'timed' & it was louder than L.AID, but for Jimmy not to be free to speak openly re phil's plans & indifference beyond his own life - I think it's a slander, defamation thing re BRITISH LAW & He wasn't free to speak clearly on the subject until what - a Decade ago? I still read that poor lil guy said 'If it wasn't that - it'd be (ie, HE'D BEEN BLAMED¿ & STILL) for something else.’ that spoiled the picnic. I don't know where that quote from JP was from, but I want to find it. To keep quiet for so long, has to have been a legal situation or a matter of taste/keeping up appearance.
From the News then we
drove later to Philly & ultimately back to CO, I think only stage people went further distances). NBC ✂️.y "A LED ZEPPELIN REUNION‽"✂️ Out & then on- the interview- I really sounded like a big fan re 'We Are The World'
I LOVE that one when Jimmy says the truth about Mr Colons: 'He used that/Zep to promote his own, him self' & he didn't have any other comments on that fact for a few Decades so I wonder if he was just legally liable to wait until some amount of time passed before the truth could have been laid out re wee man. A lot of people are in this we are the world deal & attitude re Phil, but it was a BENEFIT, HELPING OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE STARVING & I THINK I'D BE PREPPED FOR THE OCCASION KNOWING THE FUTURE OF BOXED SETS: CASSETTES, LPS, VHSES>>DVDs, CDs, EPS, DIGITAL FILES & STILL UNKNOWN FORMATS IN THE FUTURE NOT SELLING AS MANY SIMPLY 'CAUSE hE HAD GOTTEN ON THE SAME RISER- DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE 3 SONGS BUT ACTED LIKE A KID WHEN MOON PASSED OUT & THE WHO ASKED FOR A LINE "ANY DRUMMERS?" TO FORM- IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE 🎼, STAY SEATED. YOU'LL ONLY MAKE PROBLEMS! THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING ON ALL NEW & INTERNATIONAL 🌀🌀🌀🎹&🐄💨.
IT'S TENS OF MILLIONS THAT WILL NEVER BE ACQUIRED FOR L.AID BECAUSE HE HAD TO NOT KNOW WHAT HE WAS EXPECTED TO KNOW. ANYONE KNOWS WHAT SHOW JP's ON WHERE HE FULLY OPENS UP RE THAT SITU' SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL PLEASE?
Pagey ,,,guitar genius and a damn hard worker,,,earned every penny he made,,,,
@Stroppy Paws what he plagerize
@@GarrettChelberg-Yeah, plagiarize The Rain Song, Ten Years Gone, The Song Remains the Same, Kashmir, Ramble On, The Ocean…wait a minute, you must be wrong!
I don’t know where to begin , as a teen I turned on to Zeppelin, as the years went by I gradually had become possessed by their music. Zeppelin will live on till the day when the sun finally goes into a red giant stage 🤘🎸 1:21:02 1:21:05
Jimmy Page: a living legend...
Page is a genius. Just listening to him talk, not only about music just in general. This man is incredible. A true true musician and guitarist.
Truly a genius James Patrick page is the best ever .
Jimmy Page is the greatest guitarist ever period. Also a great interview!
Better than Satriani, Van Halen, Paco De Lucia, Holdsworth, John McLaughlin, John Williams, Andreas Segovia and various accomplished English/Spanish Classical/Flamenco players...
....I don't think so...even page admits it himself....not to mention Hendrix, Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian, Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Doc Watson....
Blind Blake...Rev Gary Davis...
@@Maguirearch
He is the best riff maker not overall guitarist. Players like Roy Buchanan and Hendrix. Were far more impressive on the fret board. And more innovative in technique.
What page had was the ability to craft catchy but SIMPLE riffs that were memorable. Like on Communication breakdown and Whole lotta love.
The whole thing with page is simplistic but unforgettable riffs. Keith Richards had this same ability. An even more basic player. But then you hear riffs like on JUMPING JACK FLASH and START ME UP. And theyre unforgettable.
Absolutely
Back to watch this again. Outstanding interview
"Well, it's really interesting" - Jimmy Page
Well, he's not wrong
Bravo to Jimmy Page. It is so good to hear Jimmy Page doing all these recent interviews and sharing his incredible story of his career through an official autobiography. Amazing little peak at this mysterious legend. I do hope that Jimmy does come back to Los Angeles very often and will do more book signing! Led Zeppelin the greatest Rock Band was truly Jimmy Pages' baby and you can recognize it by the twinkle in his eye whenever he speaks of it. So much groundbreaking done for music and the industry. Pretty much AOR FM Radio was because of them!
Thank you Jimmy Page for giving us so much. I will always love the burst Les Paul because of you!
Light and shade, greatness and humility - I would fly to London, or anywhere else for that matter, for the chance to see him in person!
Thank you again for the full upload!
The moderator is sharp in keeping the narrative moving nicely. Touches personal and musical and stylistic high points throughout. Just brilliant. Jimmy page really delved into the whole nuts&bolts of the LED ZEPPELIN creative side.
I love to watch his facial expressions when he plays. :o)
That photo at the end with the light comming out of Jimmy Page's head is the best Led Zeppelin photo Ive ever seen sums it up.
thanks for publishing, but couldn't the camera operator have shown the photos that were being discussed?
No kidding, it's pretty pointless to watch a discussion of photos you can't see.
James Ellis Jimmy's neck has a cramp.
James Ellis Jimmy IS promoting his book......but if you check out the 92Y video posted to the right>>>>Some of the photos are shown...
How the F... did they manage to pull this of? Is there copyright on the photos or what???
Probably they want the people actually paying to be there (or got there free as fans) to feel even better about themselves that they got exclusive looks at the pics instead of someone not there seeing them on a video later.
I love how he never lost his sense of fashion. You can see he's still rocking that neckerchief scarf look
i really find him cute, even at that age...so adorable he is. :)
I'm certain he'd accomodate if you gave him a shot, as he did with soooo many.
Right Tessa? 🥰
Tessa Bella I’m just a bit younger and almost as adorable. I can’t play guitar worth a damn, though. 😐
A proper interview with Jimmy. Other TH-cam vids on this have uninformed people asking boring, uninteresting questions. Great job!
Jason killed it in that concert! Your smile back at him at the end of the show said it all.
What a great interview.
It would be great to see the pictures they are looking at.
Buy the book!
i know ANNOYING
@@4orrcountry lame corporate dickwod
Jimmy Page is such a legend! I could watch and listen to him talk all day
The first time I heard Led Zeppelin, I was 14 years old, and my friend played me his older brother's album. It was the fourth album and hearing Black Dog crank through those speakers changed my life. Best rock band ever! Jimmy, in my opinion is tied Jimi Hendrix for best guitarist of all time. Both are/were masters of their craft and did things never done before, profoundly influencing all subsequent guitarists. Mr. Page, however, created Led Zeppelin by picking Robert, Bonzo, and Jones to creat the band of all bands. Really wish Robert old agree to one last World tour. Jason deserves the opportunity to play for his dad, and Bonzo would expect his friend to do it.
Agree with everything you said dude
"Bonzo would expect his friend to do it" powerful!!!!! someone show this to the Robert
You got it! and then Morrison and Jeff Beck and John Mayal and Alvin Lee and all the bar bands that played so well and never got known. God music was good then. I try and try but just cannot get into the groove of the music of today. Thank God for bluegrass music that is still liberated!
Well, he did look for them, but Zeppelin created themselves. They fed off each other, and none of them could have done it with the other three..
Who in the 20th century is more musically/commercially accomplished? He co-wrote most of the songs, produced all the albums, was the 2nd best rock guitarist of all time, and sold well in excess of 200 million albums. Literally no other person in the 20th century had that kind of musical impact, influence and success from that many aspects. Nobody.
Said it all , when the interviewer said: "..Ladies and Gentlemen, the Great Jimmy Page..."
I feel blessed by GOD to have been alive as Led Zeppelin Evolved from obscurity into Eternal Legend..
What a great joy to hear Jimmy talk like this and really give his insight....what a background of experience did he have...and stuck with it.... bravo
Throughout the music of Zeppelin I've often thought that maybe Rob was the genius or JPJ was or Bonzo or Jimmy and now I realise that it was all of them. Thanks for posting....
Even Jimmy Page's air guitar is cool.
After Jimmy was talking about choosing Plant, you could tell he wanted to continue talking about him getting Jones and Bonham into the group, but the interviewer cut him off. Too bad. I would've really liked to here about that.
Mr. Page, such a class act. He looked pretty uncomfortable doing this but, I think, in his older years, he's figured out that people want a more inside look. Hence the book. He's always been a master at keeping his audience at arms length, so to speak, and 50 years later he can garner a whole concert hall of people just to here him talk! It is refreshing, in this day and age, he doesn't use his fame as a political platform. It's all about the music!
He got Jones in first,John called him and asked if he wanted a bassist
I luckily saw Zep in Knebworth twice in 79
These concerts will stay with me forever
Awesome watch. Zeppelin is part of music history, and being a teenager when they were in their prime was a privilege few understand. We would argue about Judas Priest being better than Sabbath, Van Halen being better than Boston, but when Zeppelin was mentioned, there was no band close enough to even compare them to. The greatest bands all worshiped these guys, and knew that the level of talent they had could never be recreated......... nor will it ever be. Like Jimmy said.... Devine Intervention.
" TO BE A ROCK & NOT TO ROLL"
I have grown to respect the hell out of Page, but there are many big bands from that era that actually think the opposite and think they were hacks. Perhaps it was Jealousy, but these are the facts and they are undisputed and verifiable.
@@teriakamoto name another one besides the who
Love to hear him speak!! LOVE YOU JIMMY!!
I think listening to Mr Page speak is just as brilliant as his music. He is an all around master, very interesting man.
I met Jimmy once in 2006 just me and him standing in the streets of south Kensington in London, had a lovely chat just a nice man.. simply the best. A true rock legend! 🔥🎸
It is just neat to see how BRILLIANT Mr Page is...... this is real enlightening, and has driven me to explore more or the Led Zeppelin catalog........ seeing more now, why I was so drawn to them........
This interview is really worth watching, I'm personally glad that we have Jimmy to speak about these years and elucidate on so much relating to some of the most interesting points and questions. One of the best 'sit down' format interviews I've seen with Jimmy Page in decades. Thanks.
Great and excellent interview! Really enjoyed hearing the stories and, how astute and concise Jimmy is about every detail in his amazing musical career! The interviewer was very classy and respectful to let him speak freely as well. Congrats to you Jimmy for all the beautiful music you brought to the world! All of your fans thank you for it! Led Zeppelin will live on throughout many generations to come!
Jimmy we love you and your musical talent. You gave us a great experience and love for four master craftsmen in their prime. Thank you so so much for all the great music. You are definitely one the greatest guitar players of all time!
Saw LZ in 1969. One thing that struck me, there was a organ on stage with the big long pipes like you would see in a church. JPJ used it just to play the beginning of "Your Time is Gonna Come". It was unforgettable.
Led Zep will always be a big band, history will show this, a fantastic, phenomenal Band... 🍁
First time I heard Led I was about 5yrs old and heard whole lotta love, and the middle part scared the shot out of me it sounded to me a little kid like the bottom of hell very Erie!
I was introduced to Led Zeppelin by a friend on a road trip to the pacific ocean back in 1972. I remember it was on an 8 track. We listened to that album non stop to and from the Pacific. I later went on to see them live in the Seattle Kingdome 1977.
Not taking away anything from the Stones, but Jimmy is a far more interesting and witty interviewee than Keith Richards, who these days is just a caricature of an image. Jimmy exudes authenticity. Kind of like Mark Knopfler, just aging gracefully.
+MegaRaven100 ...so you only like one band at a time ... no room for both.....lol
+John Barry Whoa there! I have to strongly disagree. Jimmy is my hero on guitar (I play guitar) but Keith Richards is one very interesting guy. He doesn't speak quite as well as Jimmy does but there isn't much bullshit or artifice in what he says when he realizes that an interviewer is serious. He's an exceedingly down to earth and honest guy and he seems to have no penchant for blowing his own horn.
Of course, Keith Richards image is one of a drug war survivor, but he's also the straight shooter in the band. He's got a certain realist sort of sincere morality that belies his image.
+Andy X No my point is many artists have peak period of brilliance and then they decline and then lose my interest. See Paul McCartney!
+John Barry David Gilmour is another guitarist of that era who is interesting to see an interview of.
the coolest, most prolific of the Stones was Brian Jones, he and Page are the soul and gods of music forever...they were channels and prolific
He shares all of his experiences very detailed and clear. Thank you forever🌹
Something that Jimmy touched on or indirectly stated a few times during the course of the interview, and especially towards the end, was that Led Zeppelin's totality was greater than the sum of its parts. What a masterpiece of rock immortality they were and remain!
I have the book! 💜 all the photos. Love to listen to Jimmy’s stories He looks great!
Love listening to old Jimmy Page, almost as much as young Jimmy Page playing.
I'm watching this in the time of Corona virus. With so much time on my hands, one of the few pleasures available is listening to Jimmy Page talking about his brilliant career.
Confidence. I was talking to my daughter about confidence and casting fear aside just today. Jimmy is telling a story of confidence.
Thing that I think is amazing about jimmy page is his level of skill on electric and acoustic guitar there is no drop off usually a person excels on one over the other but not jimmy page
My hands down favourite guitar player of all time. Wonderful musician!
First time I saw Jimmy Page was in Neil Christian's Crusaders in Barnet (UK), I remember that in between songs he practised Hall of the Mountain King!
Wow!! There is a you tube Neil Christian audio only " Jet Black". You Must hear it. Lol at 20:00 time or so Page corrects the Book stating the photo was NOT from the first album session but rather the Second album!!!
Best interviewer - respectful and he let Jimmy Page take the time needed to answer questions. Jimmy is a true legend, a term I rarely use.
The humility of Jimmy is ENORMOUS and unmatched! ... and that brings him to a level of a saint!
if i ever get the chance to use a time machine, i'm going back in time to experience 65--80 so i can see Page in his prime.
i want to see the photos :(
Master of ceremonies,Mr,James Patrick page, the greatest guitarist in my opinion,no one else will ever match led Zeppelin, stairway to heaven is the best song of all time
Lol...you have a very shallow depth in music..
Well, many people talk about how great Jimmy Page is, for a multitude of reasons. Listening to Whole Lotta Love today, loud, I came to the conclusion that this is the greatest rock song in rock history. It has everything. Totally groundbreaking in terms of style and content. It heralded in a new era in rock music. Lately, I've been watching the DVD Celebration Day. My estimation of him as a guitarist, already very positive, has soared. His soloing is about what guitar solos should be about - the song. There is a looseness, an edginess in his playing style that is far more effective in expressing feelings and emotions than any of the note-perfect, catalogue-of-super-fast-lick playing guitarists that have emerged since the days of Led Zeppelin.
By the book and you can see all the pictures. I bought it and the pictures are great.
I'm just in love
James Patrick Page, what an amazing musician, arranger, and producer. Thanks for all the beautiful music!!!
"Will you ever reveal the true meaning behind ZOSO?"
"No."
Zen Of Sound Organization
I always read it as zofo. Lots of mystery around rock music in the 70s. Would occasionally see it appearing as painted on somebody's school haversack or graffiti on a wall. Couldn't happen today with the Internet. Then it was mystery now it would be disinformation.
"No, I don't think I will."
Stroppy Paws Thank you. I can now die a happy man. Fifty years of wondering what it was. I drew it all over my notebooks, anyway.
Chris Hyde Well you can keep on wondering because that’s not the only meaning. Jimmy has said that he will not reveal the true meaning of the symbol. To this day nobody knows what it really means to him. Plant has said that Jimmy pulled him aside one day and said something along the lines of “I am going to tell you the meaning of my symbol once and you mustn’t tell anyone” and Robert says that he has since forgotten what jimmy told him and he won’t tell him anymore. Jimmy says that he won’t ever say what the real meaning of the symbol is, at least not for a very very long time.
Achilles Last Stand is my favourite Jimmy, I wish you'd of ask me to go to Scotland with you. I love you Jimmy♥
An actual Musician and the Master of the Fretboard.
How lovely to see and listen to Jimmy Page!! ✨️💜
That is one cool dude.
The master. Thank you Jimmy, for all the wonderful music.
Legends ! Legends!
what a guitarist!
This was so nice, I had to watch it twice.
This may just be the greatest thing I have ever seen on youtube.........just sayin..............
Just found this, great interview. Wish they would have cut closer to the pictures that they were talking about as well so you could see more of the details in them.
Absolutely amazing interview but insanely frustrating that the producers of the video were so inept that they rarely showed the actual picture that was the entire subject of each incredible interview segment 👍. Just Mind-numbing
For anyone wondering, they start showing the pictures at 25:25
I disagree that the Song Remains The Same was a 'missed opportunity.' I have loved that soundtrack and LP since it was released.
Totally agree!
The movie wasn't anything special, but much of the soundtrack is really amazing! How the West Was Won beats it though in my opinion
In my opinion it's got the best version of stairway
Astrid and Renato Johnsson and The Ocean!
Gandalf Greyhame The movie is superb. Zeppelin live in HD as well as giving a look into their personal lives and Jimmys magic beliefs? How is that not awesome?
Page, Gilmour, Beck, Clapton, Knopfler. Very proud to be British.
Being proud please don’t forget about Blackmore.
Led Zeppelin has been my favorite band since I was 13. I'm 50 now. The Power, the Glory, that Is.. Led Zeppelin!
Superb'!The definitive JP interview Thanks for posting
