people who say that don't understand that sloppiness is part of jimmy's appeal. it's rock music, and he intentionally plays things sloppy to add to the intensity of the song. honestly, jimmy's style just wouldn't be the same if he played every note with perfect clarity
@lizdiamond1070 it's like people saying Kurt Cobain wasn't a great guitar player. Really... His guitar playing completely changed world culture and spawned Nirvana into a half billion dollar brand playing simple riffs and chord structures but he's NOT a great guitarist. Same idiots think technical prowess = great music
@@SuiGenerisMan exactly! i think cobain is an amazing guitarist. sometimes less is more. for example the guitar part on the verse of teen spirit is just two notes, but i think it's one of the best and most effective guitar parts of all time. maybe he could only play a couple power chords but he spawned and entire generation of kids who wanted to emulate him
@@RAinteractive Absolutely true... and he knows it, too, because he's done the work his whole life. He is that unfortunately rare (at least in contemporary popular music) blend of mystic and musician. It's no great surprise that he fashioned himself as a wizard or fire magician through much of the glamorous Zep years. "Zoroaster's Telecaster" haha
@@bkrbyex4339 Yeah! He did turned 77 years old in January 2021! Yes! I have seem video concert on UA-cam! All kinds of Rock and Roll concerts 🎸! I did saw him on concerts played in the year of 1967, 1970 and 1988 and so on, on the UA-cam! He was like "WOW" nice looking tall guitar 🎸 player! And the singer's vocals was amazing, Robert Plant! The bass player was great too like thunder roll, John Paul Jones and the drummer, John Bonham played like there's no tomorrow. They were the greatest musician and others, Rock and Roll players! They were cute and young back then especially, with curly and long hair 😍! If I was born in those days and years back then when they were young! I would've made my rounds 🤣 too! JK!🤣🤣
When he was clean this is the perfect example of how magical he was. And that is the best word to use magical. His scales and tuning variations are unreal. Some people don’t understand the words master musician. The music gift and knowledge this man possessed is brilliant. So glad I grew up with this music and am also glad he cleared all the addictions and in his late 70s and still going strong. Watching this video should inspire any musicians to keep playing learning and enjoying music. Without it life would be a mistake
D'accordo!! Ma a me sembra che Jimmy sia sottovalutato come chitarrista 🤨🤨 probabilmente per tutte le varie dipendenze che ha avuto. Un vero peccato 😡😡😡
Yeah... Its really easy to screw up on an acoustic... on an electric with distortion or crunch you can cover all the little mistakes... on a clean sound? hell no.. Amazing performance...
Tuning is the D modal DADGAD, a sitar-inspired tuning invented by Davy Graham in Morocco. The Celts didn't have guitars in their music, as far as we know, so for those thinking the mode is Celtic, head east and south to Central Asia and north Africa and then listen again. You can hear Kashmir lurking around in some of the chordal playing Page gets into here. 😃
@@guitarplayer2846 that was true until it got the better of him, and ruined his playing. By the late 70s he was terrible. Early 70s he was the greatest though. One of the greatest ever.
Jimmy had a gonzo approach on stage with an electric. Always! Check out Yardbirds and early Zeppelin live videos. I have always felt his greatest work was on acoustic. Check out the video of Jimmy with Roy Harper out in the country. It was made in the mid eighties. That in not a junkie playing guitar on that hillside.
@@Tyrell_Corp2019 I agree. However I think you would also agree that by the late 70s his playing had crossed the line to truly sloppy, and I think that is what a lot of people refer to- his playing in the later years when he was out of control, and I don't think he ever really got the magic back. But certainly in the early years his playing is what I would call edgy and raw, as rock and roll should be, but not sloppy. He was one of the greatest ever back then, and that is why other guitarists paid him so much respect. It really wasn't until later that people were going on and on about him being sloppy, probably because by that point he was.
This incredible performance seems really rare. I don't know of any other live solo performance of Page at the time Led Zeppelin began. Completely brilliant, so grateful to be able to see this now.
Putting this song before Communication Breakdown on LZ1 was brilliant, but I like it even more played as the lead-in to Kashmir on the '77 tour. Best guitarist ever.
David Orelj actually it’s a folk song Bert Jansch covered, and jimmy saw it, and that it was credited as “traditional” and decided to do his own rendition of the song. Thus, Black Mountain Side(White Summer) was made.
Jimmy is at his best unplug. For all the heaters , if you don't like Zepp live stay home and listen to the albums. One person put it right, a live ZEPPELIN show is VERSION of the albums. Who plays for 4 hours any more like Zepp did. RIP BONZO......
@Mihir S K- A lot of the time they were, but Jimmy's addictions bit him in the ass playing wise later on, and Robert was all sung out some nights. Even to the end though, everyone in Zep could play like no other.
@@josephandrews1174 Matt is talking about the occasional note that sounds like a bass. I don't quite hear the drumming part but I'm going to assume it's because it's a percussive kind of song
You're probably referring to the live version from Page's 2003 live dvd's, but on that recording of Black Summer/White Mountainside, he played a 1959 Danelectro that he had tuned to the equivalent of an Indian sitar, B-A-D-G-A-D to be precise. He also had Jones and Bonham back him after a certain portion of the song was over.
Wow, I can't believe I came across this video. I met and stayed with Julie Felix back in the late 80's. She graciously let me stay at her cottage with her out in Herron's Gate. She gave me some 45's of her music. I didn't realize how famous she was until we went out to eat in public! I also worked on her Les Paul for her, installing a Solid Post bridge/tailpiece, replacing the pin-Post saddle. Memories.......
@@alanosterman7130 Seems to me like they just need to clean and better align the reading head on the player. The digital information on the tape itself seems fine... it's just the reading of it that's the problem.
I read somewhere that the boys LZ wasnt very happy with Grant's decition about not appear on Woodstock. Imagine blasting communication breakdown for those hippies
Jimmy’s guitar prowess was a combination of his knowledge,imagination,creativity and technique with his right hand. This video is proof of that right hand!
Yeah, I used to think so too, but if it exists it would've surfaced by now. We'll just have to be grateful that at least this footage exists and has been shared on the web. Pagey is as much of a maestro on the acoustic as he is on the electric, and that's saying a lot. I'm too young to be familiar with Julie Felix or her show, but I love how fresh and innocent she is when introducing Page--like he wasn't just another performer they snagged for the show, but someone she was genuinely excited about featuring.
Strong rumor has it that the new ZeppeIin documentary, 'BECOMING LED ZEPPELIN' which film makers just announced it's completion, will have this performance in it's entirety with full audio/video restoration.
Jimmy at his best ,in his best time and place. Rave On JP. We love you madly.The lads hair is a bit lighter now , but "The Jimmy" still walks this Earth!
In 1970 an ex-Vietnam soldier high on spliffs told me he had just seen a "genius English guitarist on the Julie Felix show". Then I found this. I love UA-cam!
I had my guitarist phases - loved Hendrix for a while, then Jimmy, then Eddie. After a careful and thoughtful review of 30+ years, I put Jimmy at the top. :)
If I'm not mistaken this song started out as a warm up routine tune for Jimmy and then evolved into White Summer. I've got a great version of this from bbc 1069
Thank you kindly for Posting this Video. J.Page is using a Gibson J-200 on the Julie Felix weekly TV show version, borrowed off Record Producer Mickie Most. He also used this same guitar to record the version that's featured on Zep 1's first album. Circa '69 -'70. 🎉 🇬🇧 😊.
In the early days of led zeppelin there was nobody better . Its mind blowing to listen to this version and then listen to the smacked out versions from 1977 and 1980
One of the most beautiful guitar jams of all time. This is the kind of stuff legends are made of. Jimmy took Bert Jansch's tune to a whole different level. Thanks a ton for the upload!
@@michaelcarey9359 He starts with White Summer then goes into Black Mountain Side, then goes back to White Summer. To @socketofdavis point, Page adapted Bert Jansch's riff from Black Waterside, the central riff of the song, repeated many times, which was fine, but didn't give Jansch any credit, which wasn't. White Summer is a version of Davy Graham's arrangement of She Moved Through the Fair; also no credit.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL.. JIMMY PAGE IS ALOT BETTER HERE.,BY HIMSELF.. THIS IS THE KIND OF JIMMY PAGE THAT I ABSOLUTELY ❤️ LOVE ❤️ LOVE ❤️ TO WATCH/HEAR.. I COULD WATCH THIS A MILLION TIME'S AND NOT GET TIRED OF IT..THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS VIDEO..

Unbelievable concert on my 16th Birth day. 3 bands for $7.95. US currency. Unbelievable tune. love it. Finger jam and a half. so loved to relive this today. ps. I'm 70 now. also listen to Mandolin Wind by Rod Stewart or The Beck Ola album with Stewart and Jeff Beck. Happy Tunes to you all. ps. Eric Clapton and many others were part of the Yardbirds before joining other bands.
I'm a die hard LedZepHead and this is the first time I see this Master Musician play this masterpiece. I'm so grateful to be living in the time of James Patrick Page and Led Zeppelin! Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦✌🏻🎶🎸✍🏻♥️🇬🇧✨🌍💫
“The J-200 used on Led Zeppelin I belonged to Mickie Most, the producer of the Yardbirds,” Page told Guitar World in 2014. (This is the guitar used here for this show!) “It was an amazing-sounding instrument. He graciously let me use it for the first album but didn’t let me use it for the second album, because, I think, by then he knew he wasn’t going to be the producer.” "It was a beautiful guitar, really great. I've never found a guitar of that quality anywhere since. I could play so easily on it, and get a really thick sound; it had heavy-gauge acoustic strings on it, but it just didn't seem to feel like it!"
One of the few good byproducts of technology that has been offered to mankind is UA-cam. 50 years later to the day here I am because the greatest moments can be digitally archived forever. P.S There's still never been a band like Zeppelin or a musician like Jimmy Page since.
Love this. I'm a great Page fan. Thank you so much for this. Hate to be ungrateful but ..........with putting men on the moon.....cant someone fix this ...restore it to pristine....SOMEHOW?.....Thank you
That was a most enjoyable composition,this should be inspiration for any youth attempting music as a career as he quite clearly dedicates several hours a day to honing his skill and studying all musical generes available to him.(My old school master).
Julie Felix was good friends with John Paul Jones, who played mandolin with Julie at her 80th birthday bash. Julie passed March 2020 just short of her 82nd birthday after a short illness.
Absolute mastery here. And to boot… The hybrid of Indian sitar influences with blues and folk was probably done better here than most others who tried to blend those styles. People don’t realize how accomplished he was. He had already played on records by Tom Jones, The Yardbirds and as a studio musician over 60% of hits throughout the 1960s that came out of Britain. (Including guitar work for the James Bond film Gold Finger.) Also realize, this was 1970. Jimi Hendrix was still performing. Not too shabby when you compare them. They may have been different in some ways, but technically, Page was on par if not better in other ways.
Whenever some non-musician says Jimmy was "sloppy" - slap them across the face with this video. Absolutley flawless.

He was and still is so beautiful ❤️
I'm a die hard LedZepHead and this is the first time I see this Master Musician play this masterpiece. I'm so grateful to be living in the time of James Patrick Page and Led Zeppelin! Thanks for sharing.
🇨🇦✌🏻🎶🎸✍🏻♥️🇬🇧✨🌍💫
Nice work thank you Mark Zep
If only there was footage of when he first started and seeing his mess ups and improving. That would be inspirational 😢
Beautiful Performance ;-)
“The J-200 used on Led Zeppelin I belonged to Mickie Most, the producer of the Yardbirds,” Page told Guitar World in 2014. (This is the guitar used here for this show!)
“It was an amazing-sounding instrument. He graciously let me use it for the first album but didn’t let me use it for the second album, because, I think, by then he knew he wasn’t going to be the producer.” "It was a beautiful guitar, really great. I've never found a guitar of that quality anywhere since. I could play so easily on it, and get a really thick sound; it had heavy-gauge acoustic strings on it, but it just didn't seem to feel like it!"

@@BrianCarnevaleB26, never heard him talk about that guitar before now. Thank you 👍
Outstanding
Beautiful
Jimmy is a true master! He made me cry here. And that baby face ... 😍
You girls are so damn emotional ahah come and cry for me this time
Love that bend behind the nut he does at the very end!
One of the few good byproducts of technology that has been offered to mankind is UA-cam. 50 years later to the day here I am because the greatest moments can be digitally archived forever.
P.S There's still never been a band like Zeppelin or a musician like Jimmy Page since.
How do you leave a comment that can possibly do this performance any justice, albeit to say , perfection!!!
Zeppelin was formed in 1968. These people had no idea how much there was to come...
Brilliant work here....ty.
Awesome performance sounds like 2 guitars shredding on acoustic no less!
The call and response was really nice
No denying the man’s talent
very nice
I'm always fascinated by rock guitarist who has acoustic prowess
Bound to happen when you serve any amount of time recognized as the Uk’s top studio guitarist.
They all started out as a wee lad and an acoustic bought by a parent.
Jimmy's musical tastes are not restricted.
Actually, it was a guitar that was left by a previous tenant who occupied the Page family's new home. That made me believe in destiny.@@craiggoins647
Love this. I'm a great Page fan. Thank you so much for this. Hate to be ungrateful but ..........with putting men on the moon.....cant someone fix this ...restore it to pristine....SOMEHOW?.....Thank you
That was a most enjoyable composition,this should be inspiration for any youth attempting music as a career as he quite clearly dedicates several hours a day to honing his skill and studying all musical generes available to him.(My old school master).
Julie Felix was good friends with John Paul Jones, who played mandolin with Julie at her 80th birthday bash. Julie passed March 2020 just short of her 82nd birthday after a short illness.
Most versatile guitar player to ever.
Wow. didn't know about this performance. thanks for sharing this.
WOW!
Never seen and heard this version before. It's really best.
Absolute mastery here. And to boot… The hybrid of Indian sitar influences with blues and folk was probably done better here than most others who tried to blend those styles.
People don’t realize how accomplished he was. He had already played on records by Tom Jones, The Yardbirds and as a studio musician over 60% of hits throughout the 1960s that came out of Britain. (Including guitar work for the James Bond film Gold Finger.)
Also realize, this was 1970. Jimi Hendrix was still performing. Not too shabby when you compare them. They may have been different in some ways, but technically, Page was on par if not better in other ways.
Speaking straight facts
Facts indeed!
he stole these songs from davy graham and bert jansch
Really amazing
Really is a shame how few people who are Led Zeppelin fans are aware of this. I'm 33 and have been showing people this since I was 15.
Bravo jimmy
Speechless. Absolute maestro.
Just face it. Like there will never be another band like the Beatles, there will never be another Led Zeppelin. Both are in classes all by themselves.
