Happy 82nd birthday to Jimmy Page!
Led Zeppelin - How Many More Times (Danmarks Radio 1969)
Never the biggest fan but I grant you he has a place in the pantheon of riff kings I guess . . . once the third album came out I gave up . . . . . I have said though the effect the first album had on me when we ALL bought it when it came out . . . I hadn’t heard anything like it, with guitar drums or those soaring vocals which sounded like music from another realm to me
The work we shared recently with the Black Crowe’s shows he is one style heavy blues interpreter I suppose but not in Robert’s league in terms of spreading his talents wider . . . . . . . IMHO
I’ve got a bird that whistles, I’ve got a bird that sings . . . . . .

Think you sum him up rightly Andy. Never a guitar great IMHO but the timing was right and he fitted the band (or visa-versa maybe). Especially as he nicked so many people's stuff too. Still love them though. Unlike you, I kept with them until the end - went to Knebworth, where I thought they were pretty average. Rock on neighbour DD
Knowing your love for quirky guiatr-related things, thought you might like these. Incredible stuff IMHO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6ZHvUkuuBg
