    This had to be done to follow up on "The Guitars of Jimmy Page" video so I thought to do it while the gear and music was fresh in my mind. I was aided by some great players on this one and the generosity of some of the best known people in the amp business as well.
    It's always hard to balance covering them "all" and doing a level of detail without going too long. I did my best but don't hesitate to add what I missed in the comments.
    I hope you like it. All the best,
    Keith

    I saw Led Zeppelin 5 times here in Seattle from just after their second album on. Jimmy Page was absolutely phenomenal and is truly a special player. He was the main reason I bought my first Les Paul which was a 1971 Cherry burst Deluxe. Thanks for the upload Keith!

      I'm a tone chaser as well and understand you pain. These day I help guitarists by using my 20+ years in production to help them find their tone. Doing so, though, can take days as it requires a perfect combination of pickup, neck material, strings, amp, cabinet and effects. It also requires me to warehouse and service a very large number of guitars, amps and effects.
      Not a bad way to spend my retirement though :)

      "Tone Chasing" is a dangling carrot you'll never catch.
      Those guys weren't drooling over gear from yesteryear while they were making their music - so why are we?

    • @JordanSeal
      @JordanSeal 10 місяців тому +5

      ​@@shaft9000 First, for the record: they were drooling over gear from yesteryear. The late 50s Les Pauls, even then, were "vintage" and considered way better than the guitars Gibson was releasing at the time.
      But to your bigger point: for so many reasons.
      Because I love them and want to be them but can't. Including because they are a product of a time and place that is gone and never coming back.
      Because I'm addicted to an elaborate role-playing fantasy in which playing the guitar, writing music, etc., makes me feel more connected to art that's moved me, and the people that made it... notwithstanding that I'll never meet them, or even seem them perform that music.
      Because I'm not worrying about whether I'm going to eat today, so I can worry about whether my vintage fuzz sounds just like Jimmy's did in How Many More Times.
      Etc. etc.

    The JP Hiwatt was largely a DR103 with an additional switched gain stage (the big XLR connector) and it essentially gets you to where Gilmour > Power Boost > Hiwatt gets gain wise. A glorious thing.

      most people don't even know what it really sounds like - the royal albert hall show isn't a good representation IMO. sounds to me like it was one of the last shows he used the tonebender at. if you listen to bootlegs from 70 and 71 his tone is a lot cleaner and closer to his early marshall tone that would follow. the marshall has a certain high midrange thing that the hiwatt isn't as pronounced in

    Hey Keith, thank you so much for helping me get a better Page tone from the gear I already have. Great to lean how the delay, octafuzz and phaser for use in those epic songs. Loved this series. Got to agree with you after seeing this. His pedals played a huge role in his tone. It reminded me of this comment Page made on the film "It might get loud", when he mentions he's got this Les Paul with huge sustain and he wanted to add an extra punch. He engages the pedal and starts playing, and right then and there the classic tone come out. It makes so much sense now after seeing both your videos. Thanks for all the hard work!

As I remember the PA went out a couple of times so Page and Plant sat down in chairs down stage center and played and sang acoustically till the PA was restored. Everyone got quiet and I was about 100-120 ft back and could hear clearly!! What a night!!! I own a Sound Production Co and still love all kinds of music to this day.
