@@edrader what a load of BS! There would be no modern music, jazz, blues etc, without English Celtic music. Jimmy waz doing session work before Hendrix even picked up a guitar. Jimmy was far more versatile, and explored a wider range of genres.
Love those 3 for sure but I also would say the thank you song, how many more times, four stix, thats the way, in the evening ! The rain song is one of their most studio perfected songs !
I absolutely love & appreciate Jimmy Page's work and incredible talent. The first time I heard Jimmy Page was when he played the guitar solo on the song called I Pity The Fool, for David Bowie with The Mannish Boys. That was way back in 1965. I didn't hear it until sometime in the 1970's & loved him ever since. My favorite album of his is Outrider & my favorite Led Zeppelin album is commonly known as Zeppelin IV. Jimmy Page & Mick Ronson are my favorite guitarists of all time. They are the greatest. Sadly Mick Ronson is gone to Rock 'N' Roll Heaven, but I'm grateful that Jimmy Page is still with us. Love your work Jimmy keep on Rockin'!!! ☆☆☆☆☆
Led Zeppelin are quality, créative, have good riffs, tunes, melodies and virtuosity. 4 gifted musicians. All their albums are interesting. The better praise I can make is that I regularly listen to their music.
There was something about how Page and JPJ played that riff that was special. It was not just a cool part, but it had this... 'pump'... to it. Crazy to groove that hard before Bonham even started on drums - then when he did it was even better
My current 3 choices would be (in order of release) : Friends, Dancing Days, Achilles Last Stand. Current 'runners up' would be: The Ocean, The Wanton Song, The Rover. Or maybe Misty Mountain Hop, Hey Hey What Can I Do, In The Evening? Lets face it, if you're a Led Zep fan then you are spoilt for choice ! 🤔
Live the riff of KASHMIR sounded THE SIZE of a CONTINENT ! …I don’t think I have EVER heard another riff that size actually….And Bonham’s DRUMMING …..omg.
The DADGAD tuning he used for Kashmir is an open D suspended 4th chord, in case anyone was wondering. And Jimmy used an open G suspended 4th chord for the tuning to The Rain Song (studio version)
Can't argue with your choice, it's my all-time favorite Led Zeppelin song. Funny though, in the 70's I didn't appreciate how good the song was, but in the 90's, I started playing it more and more, and it quickly hit #1 for me!
Stairway is the song of a generation of guitarists.... No 1 to me. Iconic but played by too many maybe...I am sure, each LedZep fan has his own no1. Unique band at a unique time for R&R music history. We were so fortunate to experience this music as teenagers/young adults. I could have the same words for the Deep Purple (and smoke......)
To me Jimmy Page is the most unique,brilliant, genius guitarist and creative rock musician ever and he’s a living legend!!!! I love you Jimmy Page!❤❤❤🎸
1. Dazed and Confused LIVE 2. Achilles Last Stand 3. Dancing Days was the first Song that hit me, with the Sound and Style of Zeppelin... No one sounds like this. I saw Led Zeppelin in Oakland California on July 23rd 1977 up front and center in front of 77,000 people for a day on the Green. I was as close as you can be so close that John Bonham smiled at me. Dust from Jimmy Page's bow got on me, now I can't stop playing guitar.
I love so many of them. They all suit different times and different moods. But if I had to pick my favorite....the rain song. Watch the guys from Airplay Beats review that one. 😉
"Emotional Translator ..." Yes exactly. I've been searching for the words required to explain why I think JP is the greatest. Why he rips my soul from my chest. Watch his face during the MSG73 Stairway solo. Quintessential example of the ET phenomenon that is uniquely Jimmy Page.
1:28 ... Well perhaps if Page hadn't been too preoccupied with getting strung out on a particular substance intead of focusing more on ITTOD he might have liked it better. Which explains why the reigns of that album were handled by Plant and JPJ..
They really are a god like band ain’t they? Even their look was as good as their music, nothing weak, no passengers, all the best at what they did🇬🇧👍be lucky
As of June 2024, I've learned so much more about Led Zeppelin than I what's aware of over the last couple of years while I was learning to play music in the 90s, they were a group that I had a hard time respecting because of how often their songs were played in classic rock rotation. It's like I had to undergo a disconnect from them and explore them record by record in order to embrace what it is they brought to music. Beforehand, I could only relate to them through some of the musicians they inspired like Boston, Def Leppard, Sammy Hagar, Poison, Journey and Foreigner.
Kind of surprised 'When the Levee breaks' did not make his top three. Definitely on my top three but will defer to the master creator. Their body of work is so vast I guess it's like picking a favorite child, no win situation.
Always thought it would've been funny had Jimmy Page posed with The Osmonds as a prank in the 1970's... he'd blend right in... Love The Osmonds, love Jimmy!
I would imagine that it would be very difficult to play. Knebworth’s version I think is their finest moment. Achilles, Kashmir and the Rain Song are my favourites!
Page obviously wouldn't like 'In Through The Out Door' since he was in a drugged-induced stupor and didn't contribute to it. The band was frustrated with what he'd done to 'Presence' (their worst record, in my reckoning) and Robert Plant and John Paul Jones took a solid shot at envisioning Zeppelin in the future 80s. John Paul Jones wrote the bulk of 'In Through The Out Door', and 'Coda' is simply John Bonham's finest moment *the record's wicked underrated btw* I love Page, and the accolade's this video's introduction gives him are deserved. But he checked outta Zeppelin after 'Physical Graffiti' in '75. All that said, Page's picks are supreme. Awesome. The smile his playing WLLove.. put on Edge and Jack White's faces was priceless. One cannot help. A great light -- which will go out soon. When I saw 'The Song Remains the Same', I was 16, and I never saw anything like it: it was like the guitar, a Gibson by chance, was around before the dinosaurs, and Page is the only alien on earth to understand its import. The result is his guitar epitome. Few do it better.
@@lilajagears8317 The Cobain butterfly effect pisses people off to no end and it's understandable to many. Grohl has two really notable drum tracks and three famous albums worth of drumming. Hardly comparable to John Bonham. I like Everlong and SLTS as much or more than anybody, but his opinion is inflated due to rock drummers dying off and Nirvana getting sucked off by everybody with a platform.
So what are you saying? Any highly successful and talented musician can’t share their opinions about Led Zeppelin’s music or members on a music documentary?
I agree partially with Jimmy. Whole Lotta Love and Since I've Been Loving you are the best, followed closely or tied with Ramble On and possibly Immigrant Song. Can't forget Stairway, either. Never really loved Kashmir. It went on too long and I did not like the orchestration, but hey, I am not Jimmy Page, am I? Just my 2 cents.
@@carlthomas3930 that there's some funny shit, it's not about liking or hating, it's about ability. Someday you will understand or may not get it at all, that's your prerogative.
@@carlthomas3930 an engine only works up to it's capabilities when the parts are quality and well maintained. This goes with all busines and doesn't take away from the fact that there's no comparing a classic Maserati to a classic Supra that's been going strong for 40 years.
Jimmy page a musical gift
Love Hendrix but Page could create an atmosphere that just draws you in.
Hendrix was very Basic.....Nothing Spectacular....Page had a Wider Scope...
@@leostawicki7283 there would have been no page without hendrix
@@edraderPage was producing and making music well before Hendrix ever arrived in England
@@edrader what a load of BS! There would be no modern music, jazz, blues etc, without English Celtic music. Jimmy waz doing session work before Hendrix even picked up a guitar. Jimmy was far more versatile, and explored a wider range of genres.
I don't want to rag on Hendrix, but his music depresses me now. I prefer Led Zeppelin.
When I listen to Since I've been lovin' you, I play it 3 to 5 times in a row because once is just not enough. Great rock blues.
Kashmir, Ten Years Gone, and The Rain Song are other worldly. I too am surprised Jimmy likes Whole Lot of Love.
The Rain Song is a masterpiece.
Ditto.
Love those 3 for sure but I also would say the thank you song, how many more times, four stix, thats the way, in the evening ! The rain song is one of their most studio perfected songs !
Ten Years Gone...EPIC
Rain song…..just lovely….
In the Light; What Is and What Should Never Be; The Ocean.
The Ocean! I learned the riffs from that early in my Zep journey in the early 2000s.
I was blessed to grow up in the sixties and seventies.......the music was unbelievably innovative rock and roll....so many bands, so much music
In the year 25 25, music historians will look back with awe on the composers Bach, Beethoven, and Page.
"If Man Still is Alive", (Zager and Evans). 😉
Jimmy wrote more iconic riffs than any other guitarist in rock history, and it ain't even close.
Agreed, I think Angus and Malcom Young wrote a ton of amazing, iconic riffs as well, but not nearly as versatile Page.
My favorite is No Quarter... not even a contest, that song rips.
Second goes to Over the Hills and Far Aaway
No Quarter is one my favorites as well! Unique and bombastic - a blast to my ears and I do get carried away….❤❤❤
Watching Jimmy Page play is almost a religious experience.
When I saw him solo, he came out with riffs that actually gave me goosebumps. He was incredible.
No.
A Jewish experience?
Watching the Foo Fighters is a religious experience too
They were phenomenal but the Satan stuff really bugged me. I pray Jimmy repents for dealing with it & comes to Christ.
All great songs BUT Jimmy would tell you his Guitar Army on Achilles Last Stand is absolutely his favorite. He said it many times.
Agreed. One of my favs also
Same here, I saw them play ALS on two different nights when they played six nights in a row at the forum here in L.A.
AS JACK BLACK SAID: BEST BAND EVER...
Yes and his work on Tea For One - A massively overlooked masterpiece - is equally stunning.
@@JustGuitarLive Yes it is, great song !!

The rhythym and the riff of Whole lotta love is absolutely intriguing ... IMHO it's "Whole lotta Love" ... the groove is haunting
it was a pop radio song that introduced kids the led zeppelin. it was LZs smoke on the water
@@edrader absolutely

i always loved Tangerine....
Going to Indiana University in the late seventies with albums like Physical Graffiti was unreal.
Page is to Rock music what Mozart was to Classical music; a quantum leap above and beyond... Genius.
Kashmir, In My Time Of Dying prove you don't need a $10,000 guitar to produce something amazing!
If stranded on an island with only one song to play: Since I’ve Been Loving You
Mine would be Kashmir. To each their heart's fave.
Tea for One
Greatest Solo Ever on Any Instrument Ever. EVER
On Tea for One He covered Every Emotion there is & Actually Invented some New Ones. Absolutely Incredible
Can't argue with your choice, it's my all-time favorite Led Zeppelin song. Funny though, in the 70's I didn't appreciate how good the song was, but in the 90's, I started playing it more and more, and it quickly hit #1 for me!
The answer is Ramble On, I'm Gonna Crawl, and Nobody's Fault But Mine.
for me
dazed and confused
heartbreaker
since ive been loving you
Stairway is the song of a generation of guitarists.... No 1 to me. Iconic but played by too many maybe...I am sure, each LedZep fan has his own no1. Unique band at a unique time for R&R music history. We were so fortunate to experience this music as teenagers/young adults. I could have the same words for the Deep Purple (and smoke......)
Stairway is also on par with the best backmasking done in music history...The Beatles are proud
To me Jimmy Page is the most unique,brilliant, genius guitarist and creative rock musician ever and he’s a living legend!!!! I love you Jimmy Page!❤❤❤🎸

I love them all ! They gave many a people many a buzz God bless led zeppelin
The orchestration of the song 'The Rain Song' is pure genius and I thank Jimmy and the band for influencing me musically in a profound way.
We are on this earth with music from Led Zeppelin. Stop complaining about anything…….
Mmmmmh……try telling that to people dying of cancer
I absolutely get you and thank you for speaking my mind!
@@indiakhetri my mother and father died of cancer, but thanks for taking it out of perspective
Led Zeppelin the Only Band
When Jimmy Page plays “Whole Lotta Love” White and The Edge just sit the F down and listen.
The Rain Song, No Quarter and Ten Years Gone are my top three............Not that anybody asked. : )
Ten years gone!
solid choices. mine are - Out on the tiles, The rover, Achilles last stand
The solo in Ten Years Gone is just sublime, note perfect
I love so many of them. They all suit different times and different moods. But if I had to pick my favorite....the rain song. Watch the guys from Airplay Beats review that one. 😉
I like thinking of Nobody’s Fault but Mine when I’m skiing.
Major Yes to ALL Three Songs! Add The Rain Song and that would be a Zep Fab Four!
All four members of Led Zeppelin have agreed that "Kashmir" is one of their best musical achievements.
Those are three of my favourites, but I would have picked When the Levi Breaks over Kashmir. Both great songs.
I agree . When The Levee Break is my pick over Kashmir.. barely✌️
Kashmir, Immigrant Song and All of my Love are my favourites.
Dazed and Confused, Kashmir, and Stairway to Heaven. Could listen to these 3 songs for years.
"Emotional Translator ..." Yes exactly. I've been searching for the words required to explain why I think JP is the greatest. Why he rips my soul from my chest.
Watch his face during the MSG73 Stairway solo. Quintessential example of the ET phenomenon that is uniquely Jimmy Page.
1:28 ... Well perhaps if Page hadn't been too preoccupied with getting strung out on a particular substance intead of focusing more on ITTOD he might have liked it better. Which explains why the reigns of that album were handled by Plant and JPJ..

Jimmy Page; often imitated, NEVER EQUALED!
Anyone know the source for the concert footage starting at 0:37? Is that from TSRTS?
Pretty sure it is from Earls Court in 1975
Best band ever no discussion
That's good stuff there. Great songs.
Battle of Evermore, Going to California (live) and Dazed and Confused (MSG)
Thank You, How Many More Times, Good Time Bad Times.
Stairway is a given, being a masterpiece.
My favorites have changed through the years, but currently my three are: In My Time of Dying, No Quarter, and The Rover.
Actually Page has been quoted many times as saying Ramble On is his favourite, highlighting the light and shade of his music
As of June 2024, I've learned so much more about Led Zeppelin than I what's aware of over the last couple of years while I was learning to play music in the 90s, they were a group that I had a hard time respecting because of how often their songs were played in classic rock rotation.

I'd have to say that maybe The Rain Song is my favorite, with a couple of dozen or more tied for second. 🤷♂❤
During thieir time they were a bit mysterious and that was part of the appeal. Always keeping us wondering.
You can see the respect and admiration in The Edge and Jack White's eyes.
The Edge perfectly described that Kashmir riff as "menacing."
good times bad times, since I been loving you, whole lotta love
Kind of surprised 'When the Levee breaks' did not make his top three.
Definitely on my top three but will defer to the master creator. Their body of work is so vast I guess it's like picking a favorite child, no win situation.
I got to wave hi to Jimmy Page when he was walking off of the stage when I was 15 in 1985.
Age 61 here. Kashmir is my ringtone. I like the looks it gets in the bank, lol
like his yardbird predecessors he is an able blues interpreter. there are dozens of them to chose from.
Jimmy Page will always be the absolute best guitar player to me !!!!
The Lemon Song
Trampled Underfoot
Black Dog
My personal favorite songs
YES! Genie Page all the way!
Sooo COOL🎸🤩Thx☮️🎷
Always thought it would've been funny had Jimmy Page posed with The Osmonds as a prank in the 1970's... he'd blend right in... Love The Osmonds, love Jimmy!
My top 3 would also have Whole Lotta Love, Kashmir, and then Ten Years Gone for me.
Hardcore Zep fan from the 70s here. Bought it all on vinyI. Know the albums note for note. I can agree with this.
I know it's Earl's Court , but I am not familiar with it too much . What song is it @1:00 please ?
dazed and confused
Since I’ve Been Loving You, Dazed and Confused, How Many More Times, The Battle of Evermore, Four Sticks
Sense , i've been loving you t 41 arkilies Last stand r My Favorites
For me, no song projected the mystique, style, and power of Led Zeppelin more than Four Sticks.
What is that first interview? I want to watch the whole thing but I can't find it.
I love Page, my favorite guitarist. I have to wonder what sober "In Through The Out Door" is in an alternate universe.
I would imagine that it would be very difficult to play. Knebworth’s version I think is their finest moment. Achilles, Kashmir and the Rain Song are my favourites!
I would love to hear from him 🤫
I love IN THE EVENING.
heartbreaking Jimmy sharing a memory of John Bonham a few weeks ago, his grief still very present.
Who gives a shit about Dave Grohl? All of a sudden he's the face of rock today.
I know, I don't get it
I agree.
Who gives a shit about Jimmy Page!
Who's David Grohl? Guess I'm out of the loop because I've never heard of him
really rather meh

Kashmir, Achilles last stand, which ever one I heard last.
The one true Rock God 🙏
Page learned much from Scottish folk guitarists Bert Jansch and Davey Graham who popularised the DADGAD tuning
In my time of dying,for your life, when the levee breaks.
Zepp fans know that Pagey's absolute favourite was Achilles' Last Stand.
Hendrix, the fire
Page, the embers ✌🏻
so many songs for so many moods but if I picked three : Thank You, immigrant song, fool in the rain !
Immigrant Song, Houses of the Holy, Night Flight

No "Achilles," huh? Welp, there ARE too many to choose from!
So you just made all this up... There is no recording of JP saying "My three favorite LZ songs are..."
Or did I miss something.
Is it just me that thinks Kashmir is also giving Iron Man vibes
Yes it's just you 😁
