Could listen to Jimmy talk about Zeppelin forever.
LZ is Jimmy's baby. Now in his later years he is settling in to perfect their legacy. A wise and wonderful decision. Thank you, Jimmy!
I totally agree after all these years he still lig hts up speakin ov the dayz gone by a dying breed im sad to admit🎵🎼🎶🎹🎸🥁🪘🪈🎤
Led Zeppelin really was his baby, & he has every reason to be proud of everything he did for the band. He gathered the other 3, funded the first album, produced mixed & edited it. He produced etc. the other albums too, his dream or desire to create this amazing band, has brought mind blown joy to millions & millions of people. Jimmy Page is an absolute music genius, & I thank him so much, the greatest guitarist ever.
His memory and enthusiasm are impressive.
1,000 years from now, jimmy will be remembered.
I'll raise that to two 2000
1000 years from now NO ONE will be remembered because by then, humans will have been extinct for probably 800 years. There won't even be YEARS anymore.
You know your music is good when you’ve got fans from all generations 🥰
So glad to see his daughters photos of Jimmy. She really knows how to get joy and pleasure in her photos.
I love the way Jimmy talks. He’s so interesting. Musicians usually stay cracking sharp. No losing track or forgetting here and he’s 75 at least. I can’t believe the detail he remembers. He must look back on those days as the greatest experience he ever had. He loves music so much.
Yup! As old as he is now he does remembered back in his young days! How he performed in his music and guitar 🎸 playing! He talks about it like it just happened yesterday! He does love his music and little girls! Oh! What a man! Oh! Wondered if he ever thinks or talks about his own way of life he had back in his day or he just getting old with it! Black Magic ⚫ is with him! Blessed 🙌 him!
Jimmy used to be very shy in interviews when he was young.
Now he' takes much more place
in the conversations. When someone tries to interrupt him he just raise his voice. LZ was the peak of his career, Robert Plant at the other side rather speak about his career after Zeppelin.
Jimmy was my favourite rock guitarist for a while..nowadays i do not have a single fave,,but Jeff comes close
What an intelligent man.and a superior musician and human being.thank you for led Zeppelin.
What a great belated 25th birthday gift Jimmy got ...the release of their first Led Zeppelin album
Jimmy is truly an artistic genius . I’ve been listening to LZ for several decades and never get bored
i have yet to hear anyone do Stairway as well as Jimmy...with the Jimmy vibe and feel..and Since I Been Loving You is a Minor key blues Masterclass..with the classic turnarounds!
I love Jimmy Page . His memory at 75 is great! I'm much younger and can't remember what happened last week! He's had a great life to remember.....
I think his many interests in life keep his mind sharp and also his body even after his reckless lifestyle in the 70s and early 80s...he's probably very clean living like Eric Clapton nowadays....
Wow everything About Led Zeppelin is mesmerizing.. Hearing the greatest Guitar player who ever lived speak about it in detail is so captivating.. Thank you whoever put this here for me to see.. Thank you
And this interview was done pre-pandemic
And my homeland the little Iceland was visited by Led Zeppelin in 1970 and Robert came back 49 years later with his band.
Absolutely love James Page. Thank god he left the yardbirds, didn’t use terry Reid and created the almighty Led Zeppelin. Those other bands and players including Beck can’t touch Page and LZ.
@UA-cam Türkiye Müdür of course he doesn’t. Great people let other people say how great they are. No one great needs to self proclaim it.
Jeff Beck : what song did he write ? Nothing compared to Jimmy, that's for sure
Pretty sure Jeff beck is “technically” a better player, but Jimmy page was a rock god....and an amazing producer and composer. He was the whole package, which is why he achieved greater heights. I mean, let’s be honest....literally every single one of my friends and family is familiar with Zeppelin’s music. I’d say less than 2% are familiar with Jeff beck’s music.
@UA-cam Türkiye Müdür elaborate. What was your experience
@@RK_peace
But according to Ritchie Blackmore Jimmy knew that he was good without beeing arrogant in any way.
Superior musical genius! And from what I see and read a gentleman to his fans!
Incredibly sharp and talented man , just wow 🤩 yeah I’m a fan
Class Act human being plain and simple
"He did. He jolly well did". I love Jimmy Page
me too he's got such beautiful green eyes.
@@LyraKeltica61
Brown eyes
Green. I have his photo book, his passports state green
I love the pictures of Jimmy in Oakland…I was there, unfortunately the last American concert.
p.s. I’m watching and Jimmy’s six days into being 80 years old!
Den bästa som finns ,jag menar världens bästa gitarrist,naturligtvis Jimmy Page, så mycket love till dig ! !!!!
Happy birthday jimmy 🎂
One of best interviews of Jimmy ever. ❤
James can live in the past all he wants, it was a great time for him and many others..
True, but he shouldn't have lied and lead people along that new material was coming.
I love listening to him tell the chronology of how it all started.
0:02 che pezzo d'uomo ancora 🔥🔥🔥e la sua voce così dolce! Anche un uomo di classe, ma cafone non lo è mai stato nonostante fosse un chitarrista dannato. Anzi, IL chitarrista per eccellenza 👋👋👋
I´m lucky and maby one of few alive today to have been at the Albert hall in late September 1966 and seen the Yardbirds, Rolling Stones,Ike and Tina Turner, Long John Baldry and more on stage.
Nice to have a new interview from James
But james isnt really saying anything new right?
@@leostone4624 I'm afraid so... Jimmy remasters everything, even interviews! 😜
@Alfa Mail did I comment on this?
@@leostone4624 You did lol
@@111littlesisterful lmao, haha. That's a great one lol
lt's always interesting to get fill-in-the-blanks information. lt was at my cousins' house in Orinda CA that l first heard Led Zeppelin l. Beginning of summer '69. Orinda is across the Bay east of San Francisco. Previously l didn't know about the cluster of Fillmore West concerts. Now l know why my cousins had an album that l had no knowledge of. lt was love at first listen.
JP & Zeppelin & Peter Grant... Trailblazers, Boldly going forward
Interviewer tip - when you have an articulate speaker and story teller like Jimmy - do not talk over him nor butt in and get in his way - you need a very light touch. Jimmy is having to raise his voice and sometimes rush to stop this interviewer getting in his way - we want to hear Jimmy - the interviewer is simply someone for him to talk to.
Agree! I have no clue who the interviewer was but he was annoying to me. The 1976 interview was excellent! He asked just enough to get Jimmy talking then shut up and let him go & was very interesting.
Thanks for upload
Great interview! And nice video, too, with the pics!
Thank you for uploading!
Pretty cool listening to this. I like how Jimmy had Robert over to his house to see if Robert got what he was trying to do. Babe I'm Going to Leave you by Anne Braden got them started..I think she is Canadian!!! I can just imagine how exciting and fun that time was back then. Hendrix was coming along ....Beatles had put out Sgt. Peppers. Pink Floyd was starting. Just the musical environment would be awe inspiring in trying out new ideas and sounds. King Crimson for instance. I like how Jimmy compliments John Bonham on his professionalism. I play at open mics and blues jams sessions locally in town ..and even at that level its hard to find people to connect with musically. What he says about JOhn Bonham actually listening is great. Funny ...the pre-cursor to the White Stripes with him and Tim Rose......wonder if JImmy told Jack White about that?
Pink Floyd was already huge. Not mainstream huge but they were huge. By 1970 they were already touring most of EU and USA
Glad things never worked out w Terry Reid. Robert was destiny
Never has been never will be another Jimmy Page( A Musical Genius a gentleman and a living legend) Jimmy Hendrix is the only other if he was alive would have been a BIG.
The world has been lucky to have 50 years of his gift giving❤ I hope he lives as long as is possible so i dont have to miss him
Jimmy Page is the greatest guitarist ever to be.🎸
Boy Jimmy is looking first class in that dark gray suit (without a tie) at the very beginning of this video. He looked so terrible from 1977-1996. He was either stick thin or bloated. He's clearly minded his health since 1997 or so. Working out, eating right and cutting down or dropping the "homeopathic" Jack Daniels. I wish I looked that good at his age!
Jimmy couldn't look terrible if he wanted to. Jimmy is the sexiest man on earth!
Adore Jimmy and his voice! So interesting that he’s so soft spoken and laid back until you put a guitar in his hands! I could listen to Jimmy read the phone book to me all day & night and never lose interest! I have no clue who the interviewer was but he was annoying to me. He should have planned better and then he wouldn’t have kept interrupting and/or talking over Jimmy,. The 1976 interview with Alan Freeman was excellent! He asked just enough to get Jimmy talking then shut up and let him go & was very interesting!!
1. Amazes me that Jimmy will still discuss and share these experiences, which must be incredibly dull after having told it so many times. This indicates a deep-seated need to give an accurate account of events as he remembers them.
2. These stories have recounted by probably hundreds or even thousands of music journalists and writers throughout the years, this story has of course fallen victim to embellishments and omissions. Or where they introduce elements of drama that may deviate from the actual events. From trivial details they mostly get wrong like the distinction between a "boat house" and a "house boat" to significant matters such as determining true responsibility and initiatives who formed his band. Jimmy seems a reliable source in contrast to the often manipulated narratives.
3. Intriguing details surface, such as the discontent of both Keith Moon and John Entwistle at a certain juncture within The Who's history
4. A noticeable thing is Jimmy's apparent detachment from the realm of social media. Which suggests a lack of comprehension regarding the enduring allure of these stories among younger generations who still have ongoing fascination with all this.
LOVED THIS MAN GROWING UP IN MY TEENS POSTERS ALL OVER MY WALL I AM A ZEP HEAD FOR LIFE ✊🏾 LORD WATCH OVER JIMMY JOHN AND ROBERT KEEP THEM SAFE LET THEM LIVE TO SEE 107 😂😂 LEGENDS SHOULD LIVE FOREVER
That's what I wished for.I don't want them to Pass on before I do because then I won't experience the Grief I know will come 1 day❤
Go with keep the faith. Blessing of musicians ! What do you want Def Leppard; ROCK AND ROLL LIKE KED ZEPPELIN. OUT OF SIGHT FROM DETROIT.
And MAJIC music was born!
Amor eterno ❤️
Hahaha look at the bottom left at 2:09! Someone covered the a-n in Orange so it would spell Orge. That's great! Lmao
He's [Page] done that for awhile now. He did it in his days with the Black Crowes, even. I think it's got something to do with endorsements and legality, really. I think he prefers Orange amps but they [Orange] weren't going to pay him enough to show he uses them live. That, or Marshall still has him under contract. Lol. ... Just a theory of mine :)
Zeppelin rehearsing The Shangri-Las "Walking In The Sand" in 1968?
Please tell me that rehearsal was recorded and survives.
zen babaloo Was
Interviewer not paying attention at 9.08. The visit to the US in '65 is an important part of the chronology, as it meant Page was known to US record companies, which helped when they got signed in November '68. Good interview otherwise though.
35:16 Jimmy, Iggy and Ringo walk into a bar...
Jimmy's voice is like Honey or listening to a Calming stream of water.Just the sound is enough....Then the words spoken are just a bonus.Genius one off
led zeppelin's 150th anniversary.
32:01 beautiful and glamorous photo.
I'm 15 and i have never had the chance to go see Led Zeppelin.
Does somebody know which possibilities there are too see them? Like I know Robert still does tour. Please respond if you have an Idea how i could get to see one of my heroes. I'm the biggest Zep fan ever!!
Julian ,(Munich, Germany)
Robert and Jonesy are still pretty active on the music scene. Jimmy is an eternal question mark. Will we see him play ever again? Who knows. Jimmy is a rock wizard and you never know what to expect from him...
@@111littlesisterful do you know on which Dates Robert and jones play? Or where I can get tickets?
@@nebelbro5102 I don't know their touring plans to this date but you might want to check sites like ledzepnews.com/ that regularly give that type of information.
There's no LZ without Jimmy Page. To see Plant or Jones perform without him would likely be anti climatic for a guy looking for a LZ vibe.
When you get to heaven you are issued 2 tickets in the 3rd row
One of the best musings in recent memory offered by the Dark Lord. Nice!
He was never a dark lord. He had to go to court to prove it. Do some research will ya before you start calling names.
What, no Plant nor Bonham
That bloke isn't listening to jimmy.
Isn't he rude interrupting a legend like page
they never do, when they ask him a question he tries to answer but they just keep on asking questions I'm glad he's finally learned to speak louder.
I wish he would have shut up and just let Jimmy talk!
Barry Norman not Philip Norman! As it's you Mr Page, all is forgiven!
This is all very well to remember, but come on, Jimmy - it's not 1969 any more and we're waiting for new stuff!
He was friends with Jeff beck then...(Rest In Peace Jeff Beck ) 😢..also glad that he's Revived the dragon telecaster
If Jimmy would stop living in the past, we might get some new music from him!
I feel you but you have to give the guy a break in that he's sort like George Lucas.. no matter what he may or want to do is always going to drag up the thing that blew everyone's mind...a long time ago 😉
he has 100s of new songs he's created. He said if he still had a band to tour with we'd hear them.
I do think his recent work shows he's reminiscing on his glory days. I wish more than anything that he'd head to the studio and put some new material down. He has so many fans that have been waiting for over a decade for something...anything, from him. I hope to see some new stuff from him before he's confined to a retirement home
Once you've created the greatest band in the world, where do you go from there? He picked the musicians, the material, produced the records, and did everything with Zeppelin that he ever wanted to do. Led Zeppelin was Jimmy's band. He was creating the music that he wanted when the band ended. So....now what?
The old music will always be superior, unless you know something that I don't know!!!
Jimmy with a Strat? huh...never seen that i dont think
Plays the white one, a Lake Placid blue amongst other, but yeah, we usually see the Les Paul and at times the Telecaster!
Page's avoidance of questions/details re JPJ is embarrassing to say the least!
Who is this guy impersonating Jimmy? This is not Jimmy's voice, only the top layer of it is. Where is the rest of Jimmy? Jimmy has a soft top layer to his voice, with infinite depth under neath, that can make a bolt of lightning strike in a matter of seconds, ricochet off the air sound wave vibrations, only to strike again, a few more times, as he does with his guitar, both on and off stage. There is a very hidden sound board, up to no good here, who has just lost yet another bet .
it sounded like someone farted a couple times during the interview!!…………...
paul weston chairs makin noise on wooden floor. Duhhhhh
grow up
It's amazing to me just how uninformed some of these interviewers are... This guy didn't know about Beck's Bolero with Keith Moon and the naming of Led Zeppelin. He doesn't know about Becks Telecaster given to Page that Jimmy painted with a green red dragon... Just painfully ignorant.
I just wanted to know if this fella is still alive. If not then I apologize beforehand. However the fact that this entire band has stolen nearly all of it's music from other bands can not go unnoticed. It's absolutely fucking disgraceful to wear this ego around your neck and yet, you've given hardly even sort of realization that their we're people before you that you completely ripped off of in the hopes that it never become a thing because they way lesser on the totem pole than you. Just fucking gross, seriously it's gross. Congrats on your long career and your nice house.
first , if you believe the best work or most of what Zeppelin did was stolen, You need to listen to an album rather than repeat the shit you've watched or read on the internet.
Secondly , if you are not a fucking lawyer ,why would you even care about such a thing if it were true?
Thirdly , your extremely naive PoV while not really uncommon these days with Googling idiots who only scratch The surface of a subject and presume to know all about it ,just shows that your knowledge of this band , and the British Blues movement consists of a handful of videos about plagiarism ,and you've obviously never owned an album in your life. There's a reason you've never heard any of Zeppelin's peers make any such accusation. Any learned rock fan or musician laughs at your
idiotic PoV ,and this would include the best and most successful artists in the last 50 yrs.
Finally, what kind of miserable chump spends their time watching videos about artists they don't even like? 😸 Find a hobby , get a clue and stop with your sanctimonious horseshit
You clearly do NOT understand how music works do you? Perhaps sit down, actually read and LEARN. You sound like a moron.
Dude, troll somewhere else, or better yet just fuck off! When you can do .001% of what Jimmy had done for music history, go shred and f o again!
All he does is talk about the past. He completely abandoned his musical career some 20 years ago.....so sad he just gave up.
He's given up more than you will achieve.
Jimmie page is such sweet ❤!
