Jimmy Page discussing the equipment he used in Led Zeppelin at Abbey Road Studios.
From the "Play It Loud" exhibit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC York City, April 2019
We need a Led Zeppelin museum.
We can name it Houses of the Holy. 😎
We can go in through the out door.
I bet booking tickets would be a Communication Breakdown tho!
(that was awful! 😖)
@@allanmills6540 only when the levee breaks. 😊
You got that right...The only iconic guitarist between Jimi Hendrix,,Jeff Beck,,and EVH...!!$!!
I need more Jimmy Page in my life. It's always good to hear from him.
He’s so inspiring
👍💯
Me too!! When he exclaims I love this guitar… I completely get that.
Its from 2019
@@paulmcgillowayJimmy at Abbey Road studio in 2019.
Wish this was 2 hours! Jimmy Page is so much more than just a guitar player.
absolutely !!! this was a serious disapoinent it was so minimalstic. he is a joy to listen to: playing, talking. What an inspiring individual! 🙏
Yep it's in row of 5 best FZ Jeff Beck Jimmy Hendrix
Well said. He's an unassuming genius who changed music forever and for the better.
What, like a piano player?
@@Pimp-Master How many watts does a piano have ?
Jimmy was a creative wizard. Those Zeppelin albums are timeless.
Right!
He was a plagiarist is what he was.
@@prophetsnake The Rain Song stolen from JS Bach.
@@prophetsnake Not everything was, but he sure has a lot of stolen tunes. 26 in all.
I still Love what they created more than their plagiarism tunes. But if hadn't been for Jimmy Stealing all of those old forgotten tunes they would have been lost and forgotten in history.
Jimmy Didn't steal, No Quarter, Kashmir, Misty mountain hop, Fool In The Rain. Ten Years Gone, Black Dog and countless other tunes.
Not to mention how Jimmy Page is one of the best all time music producers. Led Zeppelin sounds just as good today as all the digital recordings and I believe even better.
@@thebluesrockers They weren't forgotten. And he gave them no credit at all. None, zip. He's a thief.
He still got that style where he leans back almost like he's levitating. As if he was caught midway through a trust fall by an invisible person. Such a strong balance of unique style and elegance in playing and writing. 🤘
behold this mighty guitar
I reckon that'd be the air from his speakers pushing him back hahaha
Lul
@@bjlatter yeah, with those old amps, when you get them really loud and with distortion, it legit feels like you can lean back into the sound like a big, fuzzy pillow.
"i managed to make my passion my hobby, and my hobby into my livelihood." If you can do that, in any field, that is truly a blessing.
I love all the greats from Chuck Berry to Van Halen and beyond, but for me Page is number #1. There will never be a more iconic archetypical rock star guitarist. He may be a little loose but his skill set is so well rounded, his writing is superb and everything he does has such an aura of ease and class.
I agree completely
well said
Agreed! Hes my fav n I consider the best, above Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Blackmore,EVH,SRV Etc just my .02
Totally.
He’s been the biggest influence on MY style. He taught me alternate tunings.
OMG, we need a slightly longer version of this... 3h would be the minimum. he is a delightful genius
5 hrs minimum 😂
47 year old now and playing for 37 years , Jimmy Page is still my all time favorite hands down. Nobody made me want to play more than him. Love this man.
I just got back from a rehearsal with a newbie guitarist. I'm on the drums, and he's a random company 'for a jam'. It was his first time out his bedroom, he really sucks at... a lot of things, but that's ok for his under 1 year of learning. He actually showed a little progress during those couple hours, so he'll be fine. Didn't ask his age but he looks like 15-17. When i asked him, "what got you into guitar? why are you doing this?" he just said: "Its Led Zeppelin".
Same here. He really is beyond words. I could watch this stuff all day long with him 😎❤🙏
Please stay with us Jimmy. I love hearing him speak about his process, his mindset. He’s such an elegant, creative artist.
I love the way these old guys gave each other guitars to help with their craft.
It was all new and I guess the guitars were cheap.. :)
@@paulmcgilloway yes you're probably correct, imagine today's bands, they'd be like, I got this guitar that might suit your needs, but I'm going to have to bill you 4 thousand quid, hahaha.
They were young then. Does that speak to YOU as loud? Get off your arse!
@@paulmcgilloway I don't think Les Pauls were cheap, from what I understand the reason Jimmy didn't have one his first few years is he couldn't afford one? Thankfully he was given one in time for Zep 2, and the rest was history.
@@martinemesguitar He had his Black LP Custom when he got the burst from Walsh.
Oh to see the man who created the most iconic riffs in the history of rock n roll actually playing those riffs on the gear he used in the original recordings...damn what a rush!
Coolest thing I've seen on UA-cam in 2023.
For me too :)
He must have the strongest back ever, a senior citizen that still lowslings his Les Pauls after all these decades!
When I was in my late teens Jimmy's chord sequences & lines in RAIN SONG on Song Remains the Same were so beautiful they would reduce me to TEARS. ...TRUTH 😔
🫡
Yes he has some incredible melodies.
Supposedly the same chords that George Harrison used in the song “Something”. Possibly, but maybe not exactly how the story goes is that George said Jimmy’s playing lacked melody so “Rain Song” was Jimmy’s response.
@@realledbetter5015 I thought the Rain Song was in open tuning?
@@realledbetter5015 George’s Something has possibly 3 chords in sequence which sound a little bit similar to the start of Rain Song but the rest isn’t…and as a chord narrative I personally think Jimmy’s Rain Song is more beautiful. But that’s not to denigrate George’s songwriting….George wrote some fantastic songs…but I don’t think he had Jimmy’s technical proficiency as a player nor his experience with different artists in sessions. But George wrote ICONIC stuff.
Still has the coolest moves when he plays God I love Jimmy!
When he finally decides to auction his guitar collection, especially the 3 showcased here, he will certainly take the record for most money paid for a single guitar. And in fact, he may take the top 3 positions lol. Those guitars essentially created the foundations for modern rock music! And the provenance, oh the provenance!!! You have his Tele which is also connected to Jeff Beck, the Les Paul connected to Joe Walsh, and the double neck associated with THE most iconic song in all of rock music, Stairway to Heaven. Just incredible.
@soyburgler, that tele is a reproduction by Fender based on the original which got paint stripped by a "friend" who thought he was doing Jimmy a favor. He never played it again after that stating it didn't sound the same.
Ahhh, I see. Yeah, I didn’t realize it was a repro. I was doing other things while watching the video, so I missed parts here and there lol.
@@soyburglar1878 It's not in the video, although Jimmy relates the story about the guitar as if it was the original.
@@skoneal007 It's his. And he's Jimmy Page. You're a pedantic waste of breath. Sit down.
He might pass them on to his kids
Love Jimmy Page, a total living legend.
And a pedophile
Jimmy Page is a treasure which we need to protect at all cost 🙌
He's also a pedophile that gets protected by his fans
My first experience with Led zeppelin was when my brother played Whole Lotta love on 45 on the record player. I was jaw dropped! I'll never forget hearing it for the first time. Been a huge Led Zep fan ever since. He inspired me to pick up the guitar. Learned many of their songs. Can't say enough about Jimmy and his guitar playing influencing me greatly. They are a part of my life.
The first time I heard "Whole lotta of love" was at a Pool. I was 7 ish and some "big kids" (probably 14 year olds) had it playing on a flip top cassette player or a Transistor Radio as we walked out, about 1973/74 I thought "wTF is that, it was the "Oh wa Oh Wa" part but I do remember that incident probably because it was that part. That's the first Music outside of the car radio and Elvis albums I can remember.
Yeah they brought rock music to another level. Got to actually see them live in April 1977 from the 6th row Chicago stadium. Was so glad to have been able to see them like that. No doubt the highest point in my concert going, with right behind them the Eagles several times, fantastic, Boston, fantastic, Joe Walsh separately several times and with Glen Frey fantastic, as well as many others.
My brother had the same 45 heard it on a old vacuum tube console hi-fi with built in Gerard turntable. Those were the days!
I've heard thousands of people over the years play zep cover but when u hear the master it's so raw no distortion sooo different luv luv luv it
Glad the master is still jamming. What a class act. Long live Jimmy Page!
I could watch this all day . I was lucky enough to be in New York when they had the guitar exhibition and that was just too much. To be in the room with all these history making instruments was a dream . Thank you Paul 👍
Hey Jude, yeah I know what you mean.. I must have made 20 visits.. I’m pretty sure I spent so much time hanging around Jim’s #1 LP that the Met had a file one me 🤣
Damn, I'm jealous!
Love the sound of Jimmy playing the Les Paul through the Rickenbacker Transonic amp. Led Zeppelin II right there!
WOW!! Jimmy page!! Maybe the
Best guitar player of ALL TIME!!🎸🎶🎵 I’ve been listening to Led Zeppelin for 40’ years plus.. Thank you Jimmy!! Always listening.. 🎵🎶🎶
I could just hear the stairway solo in my head when he got up to that point. It made me think to myself how truly legendary Jimmy is! Seems like its been eons since we last heard from him. They sure dont make em like that anymore!
To stand there for a short while and listen to this man reminisce and play these timeless bits and pieces of music would be life-changing.
This is EPIC!!!! We need more of this!!!
One of the all time great guitar players - ever
My favorite!
This is amazing. When Jimmy starts playing whole lotta love its blood perfect just like the album. I was always under the impression that tone was a lot to do with mic placements and other mystery myths but its all in that gear and Jimmy's fingers
EXACTLY what I was thinking..... Every song sounds RIGHT ON and every cover sounds OFF.
nobody really has access to a Vox UL4120 heads and Transonic cabs these days, which is why we never hear an authentic WLL tone
3:00 Rock and Roll, still making grandmothers nervous since the 1950's
Anybody can play whole lotta love. Nobody will ever play it like JP. The master.
Some of the greatest, most memorable guitar licks in music history.
@3:00 "You're making your grandmother Nervous" 😆
😂
All I can say is 1975 Feb.14th Nassau Coliseum,N.Y. The best show I have ever witnessed!! They got the Led out and some.
My friends and I were truly bessed for the rest of our lives!
I could watch Page talk about his guitars and gear all day. Speaking of rig rundowns, I was thinking how cool it would be if they had Premiere Guitar rundowns back in the 60's and 70's with all of the iconic bands in their prime. Led Zeppelin would surely be a highlight. If only the internet and youtube were around back then.
I’d love to plug in there and see what it all feels and sounds like when you’re connected. That Les Paul is special. And his big old Superbass
That time was great because there was no internet utube or social media, can't you see that social media is slowly eroding humanity as we know it.
For Rig Rundowns, we had to rely on interviews in Guitar Player Magazine and photographs in other magazines!
@@nickmartin812 Exactly what I think!!!!
@@bb_lz9790 Hit Parader magazine was the first !
He always sounded/seems to be such a mellow guy during interviews. It’s hard to believe he was into such dark stuff, years ago. Youth and curiosity, I guess… What a wonderfully inventive guitarist he was/is.
It would be great if Jimmy got a band together & played some gigs… hearing him play those iconic riffs makes you realise what we’re missing!
We're watching a music legend in our lifetime.
I could play this over & over ✅👍🤘❤️
For me, he is the greatest!. He would be the only man in the world I'd be starstruck and wouldn't know what to say if I met him!. A true, real star!!!!
When you meet Mr Page just say thank you.
Man I could watch this all day 😭
Jimmy has only played a guitar in public a handful of times since the O2 Reunion in 2007. This is the most recent footage, and to my knowledge, the last time he's played in front of anyone. Thanks for posting.
He played on Tour With The Black crows. That was outstanding..
Great stuff. " It might get loud " is essential viewing
Underrated! He has such a unique playing, influenced lots of other players, his tone is the result of several magic tricks and the list goes...
Overrated
who by?
Page underrated 😵💫😵💫?? How can an all time top 3 guitarist be underrated
It's just lovely to see Jimmy play again in front of UA-cam too. Who can believe it!!!
Even Jimmy Page can’t escape the ever present shrill voiced woman who won’t shut up when a guitarist is playing.
I thought she said, "this is your grandfathers favorite song'. Talk about throwing a performer off.
Ever had a women say, “It’s me or the guitar”??? Don’t let the door hit you! And take the garbage out along with yourself.
don’t even get me started
Where did that audio come from? Even Page can't escape Yoko.
It almost seems inevitable to me.
She’s probably single,etc…
Love Jimmy Page. He’s provided the soundtrack of so much of my life.
For me, as a guitar player, the most inspirational rock musician of my generation
You need to get out more
I went twice to this exhibit at the Met. I love art and have been a member for years. All of their guitar exhibitions have been one of my favorites. These was on on jazz guitars too, but his one allowed me to see the instruments of the artists that have impacted my life. Jimmy Page seems like a genuine gentleman. A true genius that just loves what he does, no airs or pomp.
His fills and transitions are equal to the riffs themselves. Astonishing player.
I can't believe how cool this was. Thanks for the vid!
Great upload thank you so much🤘
Thank you!
My most favorite guitar player of all time.
i think it's so cool that he makes videos like this... it's a very friendly and interesting tour of what he does so well. He's so relaxed and chill.
Wow, this is golden. Idk what to say? Thanks for the UA-cam platform. You'd never see this on regular television. Going to watch/study this post. Big fan of Led Zeppelin.
I love how you, Jimmy, clearly speak to the compositions with guitars and easily play the riffs as tho it was yesterday🙌🏼🎶
Great video, thank you! 💚🎸
And thank you Jimmy and Zep for the fantastic music! Life is so much better with your gifts!
79 and still hitting the notes .
I wonder if he's still a nonce?
wow this is a real gem. thanks for recording and sharing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most Excellent. Thank you, Jimmy
Such a master guitarist , sound engineer and artist, thank you for the music 🎶
I've watched 90 minute rig rundowns, but for 3 minutes this is top of the heap.
Thank you so much.....
Man the coolest. Period Thank you!
Hey Jimmy thank you for all the music you have given us through the years i love you music thank you
Thank you for sharing. You have great equipment and guitars 🎸 I'm a fan of Of Gibsons.Rock on ! Chow..lio Galveston, tx
Just like Fine Wine... he just gets better...The Man still has has every bit of it...!
Legendary interview
Gracias x todo lo que nos diste
SICK!! Thx for sharing
My pleasure
I was so happy to see this I almost cried
Awesome 1 and its about damn time.
Man that was short and sweet.
Page still in my top 3
I like to watch the reactions of people who’ve never heard of Led Zeppelin when they watched something like the live stairway or since I’ve been loving you or the cashmere from Knebworth. One of the comments that resonated more than any is somebody who had never heard of Led Zeppelin never heard stairway said that the solo gave him hope, and it was fascinating to have somebody else describe the emotions that floods roomy at certain points within this music and how more than any other guitar player or any other instrumental list, she has the ability to create and pull emotions through me. It is amazing. If we think of ourselves not as physical matter, but that of energy, light, and vibration, then it’s clear the frequency I vibrate that. Thank you for giving me a lifetime of brilliant emotions.
Love this guy since I was a kid, so many great songs and riffs. God bless him.
His sloppiness adds so much raw emotion to his playing. And the microharmonics and almost detuned sound of his strumming adds a whole other haunting choir dimension to his music. I think his playing is the most inimmitable of any guitarist I've ever heard. Right in the feels.
I found this fairly arousing. Many thanks.
Love it. Great video!
Very interesting. Thank you for giving us a view into the way you created your iconic sound. Thanks Jimmy. BTW . Still would like to see a farewell concert.
Because of some musicians , and specially that man, I started to play electric guitar at almost 60 years old. I always been playing acoustic guitar and always I saw the electric guitar from afar. There’s no time to start a new passion, a new hobby and who knows… Thank you, Mr. Page for your inspiration!
damn what an awesome vid, love the way jimmy talks about music and instruments etc
I had my picture taken with those Rickenbacker amps at the Rickenbacker museum in CA in 89! Purple/green woven front. Yeeha. Laid all- over them lol
Was with my good friend Eddie , who still rocks!
wonderful video..
I second more Page in all our lives! My favorite guitar player of all time:)
Thank you Jimmy for so many things.
Beautiful. Well said
Missing this exhibit is one of my biggest regrets, I had no idea it was happening and I live so close! I hope you have more footage to share!
Wow this is amazing, great behind the scenes stuff, I could listen to Jimmy Page all day, every day✌️💜😊
More more more please!
Super Cool ! These are the Rickenbacker Speaker cabinets he used shortly after the 1 st album. I saw them in a renovated bowling alley in Miami. They walked out and played Train kept rolling then played the entire 1st album. No wanking around and it was incredible. Next time I saw them they were famous and sloppy.
I wish I’d have seen them
Sloppy because he was drunk.
Thank You
One of the great things about Page is that he often strives to play beyond his actual technical ability, and that's a good thing, because he then... in a milisecond... incorporates 'mistakes' and compensates for them immediately. This can seem like he's on the very edge of falling over, unbalanced; but then he twists and straighten up, turning on a dime and he spins out of trouble again. This, balancing on the edge of chaos or potential disaster, is what made his playing so dynamic, the light and the shade, and so interesting.
I love his playing.. “a little left of heaven” and Robert Plant described it.
You know zero about what music is, don't you. He's an arranger and a composer, not only a guitarist. You need a rebore.
@@BlueBeeMCMLXI Calm down EV Hodge, a little harsh don't you think? Michael K knows ZERO about music? Really? Zero? Michael K's summary of Page's playing is an accurate assessment. He's choosing to talk about his playing, Im sure he's aware of Page's other talents and contributions, but even if he wasn't aware, his comment is about his playing.
As he often described it " we were loose, yet tight" ..." loosely tight"
Jimmy Page
@@BlueBeeMCMLXI Gosh. You seem a bit angry. Page is a great... producer, or was during Led Zeppelin. He really was, Led Zeppelin. It was his band, his concept, his sound. But, he wasn't an 'arranger' or a 'composer'. He couldn't read music. It's a skill required for arranging and composing. John Paul Jones, reads music and can arrange and compose music. Actually, I think we're proably talking about the same thing, but using different language.
0:22 that's THE sound. album recorded with that exact guitar wow
And that amp as well, that beaten up looking old thing. Is it a Vox? Sounds like he switched to Marshall once he got the Les Paul.
Supro Coronado 1690 I believe ✌️
Finally UA-cam suggested something I actually enjoyed
This is fabulous many thanks for sharing see you again cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video!
Thanks man!!
Love these gear storys
