- A rare TV appearance by Jimmy Page on the Julie Felix Show from April 23rd, 1970. Jimmy performs a beautiful acoustic version of White Summer.
This is the best and longest version I can piece together. This was taken from two sources. The first few seconds are from a lesser quality audio but it does get better. Enjoy.

There's something very special about Page's music, it takes me somewhere no other musician does
I'm with you Matthew - I think he's channeling some from a bigger picture and still is in 2022.
@@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
@@RAinteractive I agree. The only other Guitarist that does that to me also is the Great Pat Metheny.
This is an old folk song that he reworked so not his. At least not entirely
Mr. Page is really something else.
Acoustic Page is insane. Every note so clear!
Ir sounds like the spanish guitar Masters
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...
@@armandocamacho6829 it's DADGAD tuning , Irish guitar.
tuning is based on old celtic style music
@@daveofbakersfield47 I thought another name for it was the "Nashville tuning."
He was 26 years old there. He is now 74 years old!! My, how time flies when you're havin fun!!!;-)
76 now!
77 in 2021
Yes 77. 01/09/1944
@@MissPepsi-pc5ox if you're reading this now,....he turned 77 on January 9th....he was cute when he was young...in the late 60's
@@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!🤣🤣
he was so young im gonna cry
So good looking, he can make air raid sirens...go off....Lol!
did u see the new skiffle video from 1957? Now that's young.
you mean, "I'm gonna crawl"...
@@dojoguitare 😂😂 yep..i am
yup, everyones enemy,(father time). seeing him young again brings me fond memories!
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 😡😡😡
What tuning is he playing here?
@@JimmyDevere dadgad
@@johnlo1966 Thanks!
Fair enough. Guess that was good for a lifetime. And Page was still on the tele then 😊
That smile could kill
Julie Felix died 3 days ago. Rest in peace!
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.
He performed an electric version of the same song at their 1970 Royal Albert Hall DVD.
Oh to have been locked away in Bron-Y-Aur with him (with a tape recorder)!!!
so weird to see him introduced on television
GriefTourist ALONE!
Rest in peace Julie Felix
I wish this was better quality! So I can see his cute young face! In color!
Thank you for your efforts to restore this to this level
The audio is great
The video exists
That's awesome
Couldn’t agree more
So glad to be able to see this finally. THANK YOU. Maybe a computer expert in CGI can work on the image problems.
@@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.
PSYCHEDELIC IMAGE, MAN! AWESOME !!
I just had an eye operation and with the crazy video but amazing song stylings of young esquire JP Page, it looked pretty interesting!
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.
Captain Morgan i agree, probably my favorite use of White Summer
This is ripped off of Bert Jansch you dummies !!!!!
but a thousand times more complex and better
That must have been epic.
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......
I totally agree👍
4 hours?
@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.
@GIL Favor must've been early on...
Exactly!
Come on, the original film is out there somewhere. Someone restore it please!
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.
Maybe a restored version will be included in the new documentary, "Becoming Led Zeppelin".
I agree but hey the audio is fantastic over all!
@@terrililly1957 There's rumours saying that they found new tapes.
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 Page...always played with a healthy dollop of grit and well balanced sweet and sour. A monster guitarist.
Jimmy page is a wizard
THE Wizard "...
…The Sorcerer Supreme, master of the acoustic arts…
To bad this isn't even his song. Just another ripp off ......
@@tricklenova the original was learned by a session guitarist who then taught jimmy page. Still a hard song to play which is the basis for my comment
Jimmy Page: the greatest acoustic guitar player in rock and roll who ever lived.
Apart from Steve Howe?
@@humandroid53 love Steve Howe!
Gallagher on the resonator was better imo
Look at his rte sessions
@@seanrafferty2178 Rory was awesome no doubt, but what about SRV on acoustic?
When Jimmy Page ruled the world.
Jimmy Page still rules MY world.
Oh! It was the dinosaurs 🦕 that ruled the world 🌎! He ruled in the musicianship!🤭
this is so beautiful...and makes me very nostalgic for my lost youth......
Brilliant playing. So talented xxx
If you´re alive, the youth´s inside you. You can do so many things with it.
Beautiful
For anyone who doesn’t know already, this is a sort of tribute to Bert Jansch. Jimmy is much more of a virtuoso….but the style basically comes from Bert’s Jack Orion LP ~1966
Leo kotke,6 and 12 string
Davy Gram, most likely invented this concept.... The main theme is from his version of "She Moves Through the Fair"
Hardly a tribute. More like theft!
That's Your Opinion and not really true .. Every guitarist takes a little from here and there and builds his own style .. Even Django did he listened to Eddie Lang and the guitarists of the day which were many .. Charlie Christian
The question we need to ask ourselves is “does it elevate the original material?” Time and time again with Zep the answer is hell YES
So damn good. Love how it's just Jimmy playing by himself, and yet it sounds as though there is a drummer and a bassist playing also.
I call that 'mental EQ'.
Matt you hear drums and bass? What are you smokin? Pass me some this way.
@@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.
@@peterkarabin1147it’s DADGAD not badgad
Nice job Mr. Page. Thanks for caring enough to be great!
Nicely put, well done indeed.
Greatest guitarist of all time 😎🎸
This is pre-drugs Page when he was flawless, no "sloppiness" at all
Zepron yep from 68-73 Page was amazing till that heroin busted through the door 74-85 was one hell of a trip holy fuddruckers
Page was better than everybody else whether he was on drugs or not.
@@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.
@@houdinididiit 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.
He is something else! I love this! Thank you so much. RIP Julie Felix.
Please read my post right above yours.
To me the best live perfomance of Jimmy Page, by far!!!
Microbends and a fanastic "Indian" influence. Only one word for this.. Respect!
The greatest rock guitarist? I think so!
no he isnt.. he is great on acoustic but electric..never..
I am not a fan of guitarist ranking. But well, I think Peter Green, Rory Gallagher and Jimi Hendrix are above him.
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. :)
Not at all.
So who is better?
Never heard him play white summer on an acoustic before
Jimmy Page putting on a master class in acoustic rock guitar. Sensational!
It's just too bad Jimmy Page didn't do this a Woodstock! It would have been so very awesome!
He is awesome here! WOW! This sounds great!
He wasn't at Woodstock.
Barry Miller yeah read the comment again dumb ass
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
@@eSSEPAPIRET1 You are correct.
However, he was at the 1970 Bath Festival and I was there.
Musical genius at work. My all time favourite guitarist ever.
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..
Yep. But, he was also great with HIS Led Zeppelin! Jimmy founded the band.
This is pure perfection. I love the tempo changes.
LEGENDARY. Thank you Jimmy Page for providing me the soundtrack to my life. I am grateful.
Love that bend behind the nut he does at the very end!
Good lord! And Pagey was only one of four musicians of equal talent in a single band.
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
Very sad what that s*** did to him
Amazing how he gets his guitar to sound like a sitar.
DADGAD! try it out
When I first listened to this song when it came out, I thought it was at least two guitars and a sitar.
yeah, thats the tuning.. i sounds good, but its really easy.. This is not fantastic, it starts off great aber after a while its shredding without any insiration..
He stole it. It is Davey Graham's version of "She Moves Through the Fair"
@@MrBrungers boi u stupid
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!
You're confusing "White Summer" with "Black Mouontain Side"... they don't sound the same.
@@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.
@@alexanderbpriceinteresting
They should call the song Creditless at this point. No one cares to give its credit apparently
He was and still is so beautiful ❤️
Never get tired of this!! Genius!
WOW!
Brilliant.
Outstanding
Wow that was brilliant
I've seen the movie about zep today in Venezia with Jimmy present. A lot of standing ovations! AMAZIIIING
Beautiful
Fabulous
Rest In Peace Julie Felix
How do you leave a comment that can possibly do this performance any justice, albeit to say , perfection!!!
The call and response was really nice
The BEST ever!!! My legend...My hero!!
Amazing!!!
No denying the man’s talent
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.......
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
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
He was so young here. Just beautiful ❤
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
Thanks for sharing this. I had seen Mr. Page and his bandmates at a show in Memphis about a week before this from the 3rd row and still consider it the best of times.
How very cool!
Speechless. Absolute maestro.
Awesome performance sounds like 2 guitars shredding on acoustic no less!
Most versatile guitar player to ever.
Thanks for this .. absolutely precious !
Nice work thank you Mark Zep
This is great clip... Audience met a virtuouso they would've never seen before...
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!
Beautiful Performance ;-)
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.
Jimmy is so gifted!
master of vibe
And panache, stagecraft, showmanship, and the talent to back it up! And let's not forget 'attitude'!
The greatest living rock guitarist!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY!
Wow Jimmy couldn’t play 1/2 this good by the 80’s !!!
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.
🇨🇦✌🏻🎶🎸✍🏻♥️🇬🇧✨🌍💫
Zeppelin was formed in 1968. These people had no idea how much there was to come...
you are awesome, Mark! thank you very much for this gem. Janis, Singapore
Never seen and heard this version before. It's really best.
very nice
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!
As people say not sloppy! a little secret he played sloppy when he wanted to play sloppy because if he has played clean he can play clean case closed the only reason you hear sloppy is because he is playing in the moment not to many guitarist can think on there feet during a long solo the ideas keep the solo fresh and exciting sometimes he misfires but not often there were better technical guitarist but as for feel and sound he’s the best no doubt about it
Absolute Guitar Genius.
Stumbled into this. Wow. Rare clip. He looks so healthy.
that start....
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).
Just perfection.
God, please please send me down a time machine!!!!! I want to go back! 🙏
It’s great, but I don’t like when people say he’s better at acoustic than electric. He’s electric guitar playing is the closest thing we have to magic in my opinion.
God, he looks like such a baby. I wish this video could be restored somehow.
In the presence of overwhelming brilliance, our vision is struck, to see only horizontal distortion, while ears reach into the cosmos.
What a gift!
Thank you🙏🏻
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.
Thanks for posting this. Just wanted to note: at 2:16 begins “Black Mountainside” (derived from Bert Jansch’s “Black Water Side”), so this is a “White Summer / Black Mountain Side” medley :)
And “White Summer” is a note for note copy of Davy Graham’s “She Moved Through the Fair”. Kinda shameful.
It would have been nice if Jimmy didn’t fake songwriting credit for it
Love his guitar playing. He is really the greatest.!
Absolutely fantastic! ❤️
thank you so much for the upload!!! plleeeaassssseee keep it up pal,,cheers!!
Hilarious how Julie is making goo goo eyes during her whole introduction of Page, which become really pronounced by the time she gets to his name.
I’d be doing the same thing haha
Who could blame her? There was absolutely no one more gorgeous, sexier, more charismatic, more compelling than Jimmy Page in his Led Zeppelin years. I introduced a friend of mine to the movie The Song Remains the Same. She's never been a Led Zeppelin fan and couldn't understand why I had a lifelong love of Jimmy Page. When she saw the movie and they did a close up of Jimmy playing a solo, she gasped. She said, now I get it. That is the most beautiful man I've ever seen. Yep.
What a rarity. Thanks for uploading.
Acoustic Jimmy was a different breed
And here’s me struggling with Wonderwall
Lol
Here's me struggling to hold the damn thing
Lol I'm thinking wonderall requires a capo
@@Longhorn.Rock_Roll61 It actually does require one
