Props to the piano player for bringing the tempo right down. That was Layla on speed, Charlie Watts' face was a picture! Soon after, a benefit concert was held for the gong.
It seems like Jimmy's always drunk the way he plays. I seen this show to me Jimmy sucked and beck too Clapton sounded good like he knew his stuff compared to the other two.
Ray Cooper... the luckiest session guy in the world! He's been flown all over the world first class, roomed in the best 5 star hotels, dines in the classiest restaurants, played on hundreds of multi-million selling albums, and is seen on every all star fund raiser for the last 40 years. All for hitting a tambourine and bashing a few gongs and triangles. No surprise he can't keep the smile off his face.
C'mon man,, Ray's done more than that & you sound a tad envious.. I seem to recollect him playing on some Elton discs & other studio work Beck is in his own league with so much Diverse styles & players over the decades. Very few can play jazz, blues, rock (softer melodic, & harder + soul,, funk, fusion, you name it e/ such fluidity, &. potency. Of the Yardbirdss Big 3, he's in a class by himself. .
@@marcsalzman8082 of practically all electric guitarists, he’s in a class by himself, and using “practically” might be cheating him. I saw him Sept 2019 and was just blown away.
Jimmy brings his majestic persona to the stage, hunting and feeling the music as though for the first time; Prelude is soulfully dramatic, Who's To Blame riff is monstrous with Simon and Ray on percussion, and Steve Winwood deserves kudos. Stairway for the people is sublime-So emotional!
I agree ,I was at the cow Palace show in Frisco and felt beck was the smoothest of the 3 ,page was great but beck held his own... either way the show was nearly BIBLICAL!
There's a video of Blind Faith, live in Hyde Park, 1969 with Steve Winwood singing Can't Find My Way Home - my jaw dropped the first time I watched that video. I could not believe his voice sounded so good. Much better than the album track. I get it's a bit rough around the edges, but it's rawness is appealing, one of the greatest vocal performances of all time imo
Let's give a round of applause for the mix of this show, the mix is superb. To get a group like this sounding so tight is a Marvel. In my humble opinion this is one of the better All-Star shows that I've ever seen. Too bad b e c k was slightly intimidated they should have given him a few moments but then they only had so much time. Everyone was the happiest I've ever seen them. I miss Charlie Watts r i p.
I saw Zeppelin once, Page Twice, Clapton Twice, and Beck Twice, each with their bands in full concert and in an Arms concert! Each blew me away at times. But only Jimmy Page Blew me AWAY, EVERY TIME, EVERYTHING HE PLAYED! ONLY JIMI HENDRIX SURPASSED HIM, AND ONLY BECAUSE, WELL...YOU KNOW!
@jcbluze...god how i agree with you! I've been playing 38 plus years and Page is just a god of the instrument, I've always practiced his songs...but what is completely out of reach is his songwriting. Page's from another realm

Relax. Just a misunderstanding. But the reality is Page never recovered from his drugged out junkie booze days. He hasn’t been able to play for shit for a long long time now. Probably since 1974. But at least he’s still alive.
This was 1983. He was the guitarist for the Yardbirds from 1963 to 1968, thereafter Jimmy Page formed Led Zeppelin. A legendary career lasting from 1968-1980 (reunions: 1985, 1988, 1995, 2007).
I read your comment before I saw it happen .... I was STILL not prepared! Wyman had a good laugh at it, he couldn't even believe it! (starts around 33:50)
The first time Jimmy played a Led Zeppelin song in public since John's death in 1980. The man was facing serious demons at the time, he'd been arrested the year prior for having cocaine and would be arrested again a year later in 1984, and was probably still in the grips of heroin addiction as well.
I remember he was walking in a London park and was searched by police and got caught the other one was on a plane to america and got caught smoking a cigarette in the toilet
This is the best thing I have ever seen. After battling depression, heroin and cocaine addiction and alcohol abuse, Jimmy Page came back hard with class and style. Absolutely blown away!
It's a benefit for the Ronnie Lane foundation and the list of musicals is unbelievable . Even Watts and Wyman joined the band for a while , brought tears to my eyes .
I saw the first show in San Francisco at the Cow Palace. The day before a coworker ask me if i liked Eric Clapton. Yes. 1st set watts drumming. Couple others. Clapton then he brings on Beck. Then they bring on this guy to start things off. Joe Cocker. Sings his 5 6 classics. Gone. Clapton plays layla. Cocaine. Bell bottom blues. I always forget last 2 ill recall in half hour. Lay down sally was rocking. Then beck played 5 6 songs. Never knew hissongs but i knew 5 out of 6. They leave and i say to my friend. That was a great show. 1 and half hours. He says noits not over. Next set. Page. Brown from badco. Not might taste but good musiscians. Great show. What not done yet. Then all came out 13? And played yardbirds best tunes. Then they Creamed it. White room. Strange brew. Crossroads. Tales of brave ullesdys. Sunsine. Swalbar. Last set was best 1 hour of music. Stones. Who. Petty. Santana dead. Bowie. Fogerty close. Zztop. Page was not the master. Beck an clapton were trading back and forth. Page just seemed to pout.
All you critics bad mouthing jimi this comes straight from the soul, so raw, so beautiful and from such a difficult period battling heroine and dealing with the death of Bonham. Be grateful! Especially for that broken heartfelt playing!
Jimmy page i saw him so many times live there was no one more alive and blessed by the hole to the source it was open and it picked him .god bless james page the most electrfying player ive seen with eyes on a stage his oneness with the music was fascinating to witness i dont give a dan whom says it was this or that in belittling the true magnifagance in this soul in a live performance just truley mezmerizing i photographed him many times had to stop to watch give my full attention it was such a greAt time to be alive and well as he was evidently there are no words . And hes not my idol as i have none but by the grace of God that man sweated more water than ive ever drank in a day and won every bet j.p. on getting through stairwY on the trps.people said he had a hose water was coming out i said bs. Man it was like nature he was lightning thunder rain and the greatest show ever to be before and bewilder mine own eyes and it was consistant amazing noman was even close look closely and you will see an amazing rock that will not roll wow he danced as if pan was in front of him just so much emotion and heart .clapton and the rest good as ( it) gets page move over man like paul said jimmy page.there was music there was led zep?***a journey.
@@davidkenneth3983 in your opinion!!!! Page was sloppy as normal and allowed his addictions to ruin his performances! I feel more sorry for the audience that paid good money for a supposedly top notch performance and they didn’t come close to getting that from Page! I was a HUGE LZ and page fan up through Houses of the Holy and he seemed to go to crap after that! Not even close to what Jeff Beck could do on guitar!
September 20,1983 My 11th birthday I Born September 20,1972 I Remember this as Kid 3 of Great Guitar 🎸Players on Stage First time After Led Zeppelin Brake up
Damn !! Jimmy was in the zone. 100% A true master at his craft. That Telecaster sounds amazing to say the least. Double neck Gibson SG. 12 & 6 six string. on "Stairway". Clapton, Page, Beck, Winwood, Bill Wyman. You could tell Charlie Watts was having a good time. It dos not get much better than this. Man I would give my left nut to be at Royal Albert Hall to witness this incredible performance by some of the best ever.
Don't forget the late great Charlie Watts! So the best three guitarists from Britain, or anywhere else for that matter, backed by the Stones rhythm section, and Stevie Winwood thrown in case that's not awesome enough!
What a line-up! Half The Small Faces, two thirds of The Stones, all The Yardbirds' guitarists, not to mention Steve Winwood and Andy Fair-Weather-Lowe. Don't see that much talent on stage all at once
Great!!!From Top of Peruvian Andean Mountains... Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow ...And did you know...Your stairway lies on the whispering wind...Thanks for sharing!!!! God and Dear Lady Queen Mary Bless You and Our families Too!
Well..If his playing is off the rails anyway than he can't fall off...C'mon guys...Page was an absolute disaster at these gigs.From the best(and my all time favorite) to THIS in a few years time is really incredible.
I heard some bad notes, sloppy chops, and repetitive filler. I want it to be great but it really isn't. His stage presence is pretty embarrassing too. I hate this performance so much.
Three Thrived Yardirds, brilliant. The whole YB Trinity is historic in the rock pantheon as those tree branches would grow out and up and create famously wild rock n roll music paths of their own creation, much respect to *Clapton/Beck/Page* and the entire band here. What a HOT and historic early-80s Rock show!
This concert really shows how versatile Jimmy is as a musician/guitarist. I get that it was this period he was coming off heroin and he had not been playing in some time. His playing is a little sloppy at some points and has been better. I do have to give him credit though for creating a completely different solo for each song. In terms of technique, I think he really does shine on Tulsa Time. He plays two outstanding solos that are quite better than Clapton and Beck. I must say that his versatility really shines at the end of the concert where they all perform Goodnight Irene. His solo there put me in awe. Yes, it was sloppy, but the use of the B-bender and volume pedal really made it sound similar to pedal steel. I could tell that he knew he was not perfect at it but was also not afraid to do and give it his best. Here I can hear all of his influences from James Burton to Hubert Sumlin. This is quite fascinating to watch.
I totally agree with your words. And I add: I think that in certain things, in terms of technique he was always kind of Sloppy, and that's just one of the things I love most about his style. Regardless of anything, he always sounded sincere and frighteningly raw, visceral. He's a guitar god.
I thought he did quite well. Other than his own song, which he's probably played in ever permutation he can think of , and it bored him, I'm sure. I've read and heard about how his playing wasn't all that great in this. I disagree. Fascinating, or very interesting is what it was to me. Not perfect, but that kind of makes it so interesting. It's human. It's organic, and you really can't know where he was going to go. Note perfect is fine for some. For me, it's more of the interest in where he's going to go. Fail or succeed, it was interesting, for sure!
I watched this several years ago, and absolutely hated how crappy Page sounded at the time. But watching now, I see how much the drugs and grief had affected him, and his playing was very fitting for the state he was in. To even pick up a guitar again after losing your best friend and drummer is a feat in itself I think.
omg im so glad to have found this thank you so much for uploading this here . i have this on a vcr tape the qualitys nothing as nice as this fer sure . years ago me and some friends went to see them at the LA forum its a concert i will never forget
Page did a lot of session work and was well known in the industry, more so than the public prior to Led Zeppelin. He played all sorts of styles in those sessions and obviously has that intuition for what the right piece will be for just about anything. One of the record execs who signed Led Zeppelin to a record deal even before they were fully formed said something like 'You say Jimmy Page is putting together a band? That's all I need to hear, I know it will be great'.
I met Page back in 1977 coming on the elevator going to the concert...Peter Grant was right behind him at the time. I managed to get him to autograph Zep 1 and Zep 2 before that contact ended. He was very humble.
Genius of guitar, legendary icons ✌️🌿🌿💚 Excellent concert, fascinating Prelude No.4 and Stairway To Heaven , great Jimmy Page of yesterday, today and always ✌️🔥🔥😍😍
@@nellymartinez2110 I’m glad you feel that way. It’s also a pleasure to have you here. well I decided to reply you privately because I appreciate your support towards me and the band
This is amazing. The interaction is priceless. Particularly love when at 30:34 Fairweather Low tries (with I'm not sure how much success) to herd some pretty freakin' talented sheep.
It's really hard to define what genre of Page's guitar playing, not like EC, obviously, EC is blues guitarist, or anybody else, metal, country or punk, you could easily tell who is who, every guitarist has their own “finger print”, but Page does not. Page looks like he just played whatever he wants or whatever occurs to his mind. His improvisation seems messy, but also magic, like black art, glamor.
In his best times as a guitar player he creates a feeling of a big stone that's rolling down the mountain. And also there's absolute masterpieces of his guitar playing like Hummingbird, Since I've been loving You, Prison Blues, Don't leave me this way - there's everything - feeling, dynamics, drama. And Mr Page's playing has much in common in my opinion with painting rather than with playing itself.
Page is Like a skeleton in a suit making music speeding away. Today's JIMMY is great. Love how each player's style is different while melding together.
@@michaeltw1000 Jimmy has already contributed more great things than most people would in a 100 lifetimes. The man can play checkers for the rest of his life for all I care.

I've seen a boatload of Jimmy Page playing guitar in the last 40 years, and this is honestly the best I've ever seen him play! Rock guitar with killer improvs, nice complex rhythms, and very few flubs...
City Sirens sounds kick-ass. I always heard Chopin from this concert and Stairway but the songs with Winwood are really great. Sirens really gives an idea of what could have been if Bonzo had lived on.
Songs that have no video are from an FM radio broadcast of the show and were not included on the official VHS release. There is literally no video available for those songs.

Top notch performance by Jimmy, Steve and band
The first time Jimmy played a Led Zeppelin song in public since John's death in 1980.
The man was facing serious demons at the time, he'd been arrested the year prior for having cocaine and would be arrested again a year later in 1984, and was probably still in the grips of heroin addiction as well.
I remember he was walking in a London park and was searched by police and got caught the other one was on a plane to america and got caught smoking a cigarette in the toilet

Great to see the Faces Yardbirds and Stones with Winwood!
This is the best thing I have ever seen. After battling depression, heroin and cocaine addiction and alcohol abuse, Jimmy Page came back hard with class and style. Absolutely blown away!
It gets better every time I watch/listen...
It's a benefit for the Ronnie Lane foundation and the list of musicals is unbelievable . Even Watts and Wyman joined the band for a while , brought tears to my eyes .
Tears in my eyes too....
I saw the first show in San Francisco at the Cow Palace. The day before a coworker ask me if i liked Eric Clapton. Yes. 1st set watts drumming. Couple others. Clapton then he brings on Beck. Then they bring on this guy to start things off. Joe Cocker. Sings his 5 6 classics. Gone. Clapton plays layla. Cocaine. Bell bottom blues. I always forget last 2 ill recall in half hour. Lay down sally was rocking. Then beck played 5 6 songs. Never knew hissongs but i knew 5 out of 6. They leave and i say to my friend. That was a great show. 1 and half hours. He says noits not over. Next set. Page. Brown from badco. Not might taste but good musiscians. Great show. What not done yet. Then all came out 13? And played yardbirds best tunes. Then they Creamed it. White room. Strange brew. Crossroads. Tales of brave ullesdys. Sunsine. Swalbar. Last set was best 1 hour of music. Stones. Who. Petty. Santana dead. Bowie. Fogerty close. Zztop. Page was not the master. Beck an clapton were trading back and forth. Page just seemed to pout.
Charlie's smiling
@@shawnyoung8752,I was there too shawn and felt beck and Clapton were Phenomenal
All you critics bad mouthing jimi this comes straight from the soul, so raw, so beautiful and from such a difficult period battling heroine and dealing with the death of Bonham. Be grateful! Especially for that broken heartfelt playing!
I actually think its a great performance from Page. Ive always heard it was "bad".. I watch this vid quite a bit now after finding in here on YT.
@@jmo1366 it really is a legendary performance from those great musicians. God teir
Jimmy...jimi was Hendrix
Jimmy page i saw him so many times live there was no one more alive and blessed by the hole to the source it was open and it picked him .god bless james page the most electrfying player ive seen with eyes on a stage his oneness with the music was fascinating to witness i dont give a dan whom says it was this or that in belittling the true magnifagance in this soul in a live performance just truley mezmerizing i photographed him many times had to stop to watch give my full attention it was such a greAt time to be alive and well as he was evidently there are no words . And hes not my idol as i have none but by the grace of God that man sweated more water than ive ever drank in a day and won every bet j.p. on getting through stairwY on the trps.people said he had a hose water was coming out i said bs. Man it was like nature he was lightning thunder rain and the greatest show ever to be before and bewilder mine own eyes and it was consistant amazing noman was even close look closely and you will see an amazing rock that will not roll wow he danced as if pan was in front of him just so much emotion and heart .clapton and the rest good as ( it) gets page move over man like paul said jimmy page.there was music there was led zep?***a journey.
@@davidkenneth3983 in your opinion!!!! Page was sloppy as normal and allowed his addictions to ruin his performances! I feel more sorry for the audience that paid good money for a supposedly top notch performance and they didn’t come close to getting that from Page! I was a HUGE LZ and page fan up through Houses of the Holy and he seemed to go to crap after that! Not even close to what Jeff Beck could do on guitar!
September 20,1983 My 11th birthday I Born September 20,1972 I Remember this as Kid 3 of Great Guitar 🎸Players on Stage First time After Led Zeppelin Brake up
Damn !! Jimmy was in the zone. 100% A true master at his craft. That Telecaster sounds amazing to say the least. Double neck Gibson SG. 12 & 6 six string. on "Stairway". Clapton, Page, Beck, Winwood, Bill Wyman. You could tell Charlie Watts was having a good time. It dos not get much better than this. Man I would give my left nut to be at Royal Albert Hall to witness this incredible performance by some of the best ever.
It was excellent for sure but i will keep my nuts thank you!
Don't forget the late great Charlie Watts! So the best three guitarists from Britain, or anywhere else for that matter, backed by the Stones rhythm section, and Stevie Winwood thrown in case that's not awesome enough!
I see now you actually did NOT forget Charlie!! My apologies sir!
Goodnight Irene is so classic !
It's at the heart of the birth of folk and rock
34:14, 34:30 when the cocaine finally kicks in, and you forget it’s actually a beautiful slow song. 😂😢
What a line-up! Half The Small Faces, two thirds of The Stones, all The Yardbirds' guitarists, not to mention Steve Winwood and Andy Fair-Weather-Lowe. Don't see that much talent on stage all at once
@Anthony Marks The Firm had 3 good songs. Solo on Live in Peace is great.
Dont forget James Arthur with the gong .
Awesome piece rock blues history, and line up of some of Britain most talented musicians thanks for shearing.👍🏾
Great!!!From Top of Peruvian Andean Mountains... Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
...And did you know...Your stairway lies on the whispering wind...Thanks for sharing!!!! God and Dear Lady Queen Mary Bless You and Our families Too!
When Page did Stairway he was just continuously playing with the timing pushing it this way and that, awesome to watch the master at work!
Page sounded like crap!!!!!! He was royally jacked up and it showed!!! SAD!!!!!
This concert was also done in NY at MSG - was special to be there and witness it.
I caught the Dallas show. 5th row!!!
I was there and can only describe it as magical
At times Page’s playing seems as if it’s about to come off the rails, but it never does and he never hits a bad note. Fantastic!
Well..If his playing is off the rails anyway than he can't fall off...C'mon guys...Page was an absolute disaster at these gigs.From the best(and my all time favorite) to THIS in a few years time is really incredible.
I heard some bad notes, sloppy chops, and repetitive filler. I want it to be great but it really isn't. His stage presence is pretty embarrassing too. I hate this performance so much.
H 💉
@@teddyz8138 he dont know you bro
Yes, good point.
I was at the MSG NYC concert that year! Great times!
That is a lot of rock and roll on one stage.
Part of this is blacked out. Still great to see Beck, Clapton and Page on stage at the same time!
Songs that have no video are from an FM radio broadcast of the show and were not included on the official VHS release
Three Thrived Yardirds, brilliant. The whole YB Trinity is historic in the rock pantheon as those tree branches would grow out and up and create famously wild rock n roll music paths of their own creation, much respect to *Clapton/Beck/Page* and the entire band here. What a HOT and historic early-80s Rock show!

Me I was lucky to see the Yardbirds many times so I got to see all three at one point or another.
The Surrey Mafia!
ALL WERE YARDBIRDS .. AND ADD STEVIE WINWOOD VOCALS? NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE .. IM RIVITED!
This concert really shows how versatile Jimmy is as a musician/guitarist. I get that it was this period he was coming off heroin and he had not been playing in some time. His playing is a little sloppy at some points and has been better. I do have to give him credit though for creating a completely different solo for each song. In terms of technique, I think he really does shine on Tulsa Time. He plays two outstanding solos that are quite better than Clapton and Beck. I must say that his versatility really shines at the end of the concert where they all perform Goodnight Irene. His solo there put me in awe. Yes, it was sloppy, but the use of the B-bender and volume pedal really made it sound similar to pedal steel. I could tell that he knew he was not perfect at it but was also not afraid to do and give it his best. Here I can hear all of his influences from James Burton to Hubert Sumlin. This is quite fascinating to watch.
I totally agree with your words. And I add: I think that in certain things, in terms of technique he was always kind of Sloppy, and that's just one of the things I love most about his style. Regardless of anything, he always sounded sincere and frighteningly raw, visceral. He's a guitar god.
Jimmy Page is not human .. he’s a god
I thought he did quite well. Other than his own song, which he's probably played in ever permutation he can think of , and it bored him, I'm sure.
I've read and heard about how his playing wasn't all that great in this. I disagree. Fascinating, or very interesting is what it was to me.
Not perfect, but that kind of makes it so interesting. It's human. It's organic, and you really can't know where he was going to go. Note perfect is fine for some. For me, it's more of the interest in where he's going to go. Fail or succeed, it was interesting, for sure!
@@rklewis2 - Agree. I loved it myself 🌟 But Jimmy to me always excites my soul 🙌🏻
I watched this several years ago, and absolutely hated how crappy Page sounded at the time. But watching now, I see how much the drugs and grief had affected him, and his playing was very fitting for the state he was in. To even pick up a guitar again after losing your best friend and drummer is a feat in itself I think.
omg im so glad to have found this thank you so much for uploading this here . i have this on a vcr tape the qualitys nothing as nice as this fer sure . years ago me and some friends went to see them at the LA forum its a concert i will never forget
happy to be reminded of this event, one of great gigs I was lucky enough to see back in those days
A young Willie Thorn on the keyboards playing Tulsa Time, marvellous, simply marvellous ...G...
Billy Wyman is super
Winwood al mismo nivel. Siempre humilde y siempre grande, inmenso.
Once in a lifetime gig. Rare
Charlie Watts on the stage keyboard that is awesome stairway to heaven with Jimmy page and him on the keyboards was phenomenal!
Bravo~ MAGIC 🪄
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Page, Clapton and Beck once recorded an album called "Guitar Boogie" that kids in the 70s disputed with hunger.
Jimmy just knows what to play I think that’s what separates him as a guitarist he knows when what and when not to play. Great musical instinct.
Exactly. He’s also soft spoken and kind in interviews. 💕
Page did a lot of session work and was well known in the industry, more so than the public prior to Led Zeppelin. He played all sorts of styles in those sessions and obviously has that intuition for what the right piece will be for just about anything. One of the record execs who signed Led Zeppelin to a record deal even before they were fully formed said something like 'You say Jimmy Page is putting together a band? That's all I need to hear, I know it will be great'.
Except for the Chopin which was pretty grim.
I met Page back in 1977 coming on the elevator going to the concert...Peter Grant was right behind him at the time. I managed to get him to autograph Zep 1 and Zep 2 before that contact ended. He was very humble.
Jimmy is also very good in copying music. He can play though.
Genius of guitar, legendary icons ✌️🌿🌿💚 Excellent concert, fascinating Prelude No.4 and Stairway To Heaven , great Jimmy Page of yesterday, today and always ✌️🔥🔥😍😍
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
Thanks for reading what I write, he is My idol, I love his music and I will always follow him, he is part of my life.✌️😍😍♥️
@@nellymartinez2110 Who might that be. It’s just me Eric & Jeff. Well I know you must be surprised to receive a message from me right?
@@jimmypage5750 Yes, I am surprised and I have no words to tell you now excited I am.
@@nellymartinez2110 I’m glad you feel that way. It’s also a pleasure to have you here. well I decided to reply you privately because I appreciate your support towards me and the band
Happy to say that I saw this name line-up play in SF when they toured together. Awesome show. Included
Joe Cocker as well.
I saw the SF concert as well! Memories and I still pinch myself that I saw so many legends together.
... with an introduction by the legendary Steve Windwood 😇
This is amazing. The interaction is priceless. Particularly love when at 30:34 Fairweather Low tries (with I'm not sure how much success) to herd some pretty freakin' talented sheep.
Jimmy was 39 in this video, and I was 1 year, 1 month, and 20 days old. Three months from today I'll be 39. Time is passing too quickly.
I absolutely adore all three of them, but my fav always will be Clapton
It's really hard to define what genre of Page's guitar playing, not like EC, obviously, EC is blues guitarist, or anybody else, metal, country or punk, you could easily tell who is who, every guitarist has their own “finger print”, but Page does not. Page looks like he just played whatever he wants or whatever occurs to his mind. His improvisation seems messy, but also magic, like black art, glamor.
@Tomi Igo 😆😆😆
In his best times as a guitar player he creates a feeling of a big stone that's rolling down the mountain. And also there's absolute masterpieces of his guitar playing like Hummingbird, Since I've been loving You, Prison Blues, Don't leave me this way - there's everything - feeling, dynamics, drama. And Mr Page's playing has much in common in my opinion with painting rather than with playing itself.
Page is a brilliant guitarist, versatile n virtuoso.
He needs to ease up on the B- Bender.
I think it maybe because of his session playing days playing different styles etc, who knows ?
Steve Winwood is just as important in music as Page, Clapton or Beck, if not more..🍷😎
Page is Like a skeleton in a suit making music speeding away. Today's JIMMY is great. Love how each player's style is different while melding together.

Jimmy has played 1 concert in 20 years. Lazy and all myth
@@michaeltw1000 Jimmy has already contributed more great things than most people would in a 100 lifetimes. The man can play checkers for the rest of his life for all I care.
@@michaeltw1000 The work he did getting the Led Zeppelin sound and story documented was phenomenal and time consuming HARD WORK. He deserves the time he needs for himself in this lifetime.
Heroin addiction does that to ya
Great recording. All at their best time. Smiling, happy and making great music together. Love it
Jimmy Page was definitely not at his best time!!
when Page is performing stairway I keep.waiting for Robert Plant to.jump in and start singing.something missing.
wow remaster is great... man Jimmy goes off!!
I was at the LA show! Incredible playing.
"Starway's to Heaven".. and more from the Leds.. I like Jimmy, he is a great musician..!! 💙💥🙏🎵🎼🎶💞
RONNIE!! Had the finest TRIBUTE he could have asked for! !Not only the mag. musos that could have been assembled!! But the 3 ORIGINAL "YARDBIRDS"STARS!!
JImmy's playing on Who's To Blame is great, great riffs, great solo, great song, quite difficult to play for the particular tempo's changes. I love this song, It would have been magnificent done by the Zep !
You're very forgiving. Quite a few bum notes in there, hard to be accurate when you are coked out of your mind.
@@TheNewzbreak - Wow.. so you were ‘coking’ with him? He wasn’t all ‘coked out’.. Over 30 years ago coke grabbed my ass for awhile... my husband saved me 💕
@@jayannakelley9051 actually he was. After watching the recording of this performance, Page was so embarrassed that he vowed to get sober
@@KingPandaTV - That’s good to know. I wasn’t trapped on it as long.. just over a year. Whew that’s been so long ago..
He’s still my top fave guitarist. I just missed finally getting to see them live when the devastating news of Bonzo came out.
Have a good wkend 🌟
@@KingPandaTV Source? Page's book?
I've seen a boatload of Jimmy Page playing guitar in the last 40 years, and this is honestly the best I've ever seen him play!
Rock guitar with killer improvs, nice complex rhythms, and very few flubs...
I agree
Ive seen better performances during the early Zepp years
Ahh whats to say that hasnt been said.
We must be listening to different concerts. His playing here is sloppy, with a few really bum notes here and there.
I think JP would cringe if he were forced to watch that performance. Awful
was at both of the LA shows, unforgettable
7:36 I love how Jimmy let the heavy and furious guitar sound burst out like in mighty Zeppelin days
City Sirens sounds kick-ass. I always heard Chopin from this concert and Stairway but the songs with Winwood are really great. Sirens really gives an idea of what could have been if Bonzo had lived on.
I saw Jimmy page with the firm, Jeff beck with Santana, and Eric Clapton with mark knoppfler. Great video
Steve Winwood could play the Electric Guitar with the best of them, plus every other instrument on stage
Steve windwood vocals are perfect for ,who’s to blame and city sirens.👍👍
Giants of rock guitar + Stevie Winwood. Thank you.
