Saw them live at Madison Square Garden around 1973. Garden had a haze of marijuana smoke rising. The solos for Stairway and Heartbreaker were deliberately played somewhat like the record, but greatly elongated and improvised. This was not a problem to the audience. Totally different seismic, visceral experience from the records and live films altogether. Not only could you hear the music, but you could feel it. Crowd went crazy. Blew the roof off the place!

J P Jones and Bonham were the entire show for me. J P Jones was a tremendous under rated addition, pure talent (not hopped up on Dope) To My Ear; all of Bonham's drums were tuned to the same pitch. He'd often Take a Turn around the entire drum kit, they all sounded the same in terms of Pitch. LED ZEP; LIVE? 1. not even close to the album sound track. 2. Bonham AND Page Live; freakin' hammered on dope. 3. Plant never ever put the Heart and Soul into his LIVE performance (comparable) 4. In total; sloppy flubbed notes Page.

Interesting hearing you mention that 70's guitarists were more like blues or jazz players. I don't know if that's really an apt comparison, especially in the traditional jazz genre with its complex phrasing, modulation, and chord melody arrangements. Even in the jazz-rock space, musicians were on a whole different level compared to 70's rock guitarists. I started playing guitar in large part because of Page, but when I heard Carlos Rios' solo on Gino Vannelli's song Brother to Brother (1978) I realized that there was more to the electric guitar than bluesy pentatonic licks. That solo blew me away!

You make an important distinction, but it doesn't take away from the fact that some really beautiful things were played on the guitar in the 70's using comparatively simple toolkits (blues and pentatonics). It's easy for anyone to 'take a stab at' soloing like that effectively but doing it well requires major talent and dedication. Doing jazz well requires even more dedication and my hat is off to those folks. Their music goes deeper, technically, but reaches a more rareified audience who can appreciate that. Blues rock, done well, creates a magic that can move millions.

I had the same thought, how did he struggle? If by struggling he means playing the trill at the end differently, then still no. Like you guys were saying Zeppelin was an improvisational band. They never played a song the same way in each performance. And that's the beauty of their sound. It would get boring, especially for the musicians, to play their music note for note like the album. They're more expressive improvising and trying new ideas to an already known song. I don't see him struggling in that solo, he played it masterfully.

You're working on the assumption that a solo is only 'right' or 'accurate' if it's exactly like on the record. Why on earth can't Jimmy plays his solo on his song any way he likes? There's no 'right' or 'wrong' or 'mistake' when it comes to improvising a live solo, it's about staying in the moment and keeping the creative momentum going. Simply replicating the solo on the record is for cover musicians (and boring to my ears), not someone with Jimmy's improvising abilities. Same goes for any performer in jazz & blues or any genre who can actually improvise, it's what make them exciting and different every night

Same here. I won’t write a part anymore that I can’t replicate live. Thing is, Page could replicate it live if the guitar was set up to play it properly. My main point was he missed the very last notes in the solo because the EDS1275 has no upper fret access. You can reach the 17th fret or beyond making that a minor triplet run impossible. So the limitation was the guitar. Not Page himself.

I think it was just all about the approach of the band in question. You mentioned Lynyrd Skynyrd..... those guys (like the Eagles) played every song and every solo note-for-note live. Zep was more improvisational and Page wasn't trying to play the Stairway solo note-for-note, but he'd revisit certain themes. When live, I think the solo section would go on for many more bars than the studio recording anyway. Personally, I prefer the improv approach to the note-for-note method.

Led Zeppelin were an intentionally improvisational band. There are interviews with them where it's said they often wrote their songs with "jumping off points", that allowed an easy transition from the core song into an improv session (which often included rock and roll medleys), then back to the core song. I challenge anyone to find two live recordings of Led Zeppelin in which they play any song exactly the same, much less like the studio recording. A note for note reproduction was never the point, the jam was. Also, if you listen to Led Zeppelin's studio work, you should notice that there's more than one guitar track. Live, it's just him and the one guitar around his neck at the moment. Which ultimately means, he's playing rhythm and lead pretty much simultaneously. I've seen others comment that it takes a certain amount of musical genius to know just which notes from each to actually play, to get each part across without it feeling like anything was left out.

For me, Page's live playing was great all the way thru Physical Graffiti. I love the Presence record, but the smack and other drugs did him in from 1977-1983 or so. But man, he came back with a vengeance in the late 90's. I went to several of the "Clarksdale" gigs where I have not seen Pagey play as great since 1975. Unfortunately, a nostalgic audience hit the hot dog and beer stands whenever they played a new song from "Clarksdale" (which is better than several of the LZ records), and that wasn't going to be tolerated by Robert Plant who is about the here and now. The two have not made a record since because fans are too scared to be challenged musically by something new. "When The World Is Young," "Walking Into Clarksdale," "Burning Up," "House of Love" and several other cuts from "Clarksdale" are as great as LZ in their prime. The fans ruined it. I actually screamed at a fan who went for a $15 beer when they broke unto "Burning Up": I screamed "Do you fucking realize this could've been on Physical Graffiti? All you're going to do is make Plant a solo artist. We won't tolerate this from fans."

But that is what makes Zeppelin so cool because of their ability to jam live. Pay close attention to Bonham during Page's solo - amazing as he is improvising from the studio sound as well as accenting Page's riffs, really pushing the music to whole new dimension...I love it, and don't forget about Jones as he is masterful with the bass - or in this case Jones is on the keyboards - so groovy. truly unique and I hope the fans that night in the garden appreciate what they heard and witnessed because it was special.

He didn't struggle- the live solo was always an elaborate jam (only later on post Zep did the solo revert to more normal). And you can do the last lick but it is not easy. Barre the E and B strings with your index finger at 17 and hammer on E 20 with your middle finger and release the index finger off 17 so you can move your hand to move leverage and do the bend on E at 20 with the middle finger. It takes lots of finger strength to get the full bend but it can be done. I've always found the harder part was going from the 12 to the 6 heading into the solo.

Alvin Lee was a great shredder of the '70s, with Ten Years After, I think.

I have the Epiphone 1275 and it's the same exact thing. There's just no way to get into the A minor position in the upper octave.

Yep it’s a great guitar but you gotta play that last riff down an octave :)

4:43 recently saw this video and it seems more interesting now that Gibson are doing a new limited run of the double necks. I bought the recent Squier Paranormal Jazzmaster xii and its a pretty good affordable 12 string for my amateur purposes.

I had no idea. I kinda wanted to add the double-neck Gibson to my collection, now I'm not so sure anymore. How the heck did they release a guitar that can't go at least up to the 21st fret?

I guess they probably didn’t think someone would want to go up there lol. But seriously. No a minor pentatonic up there can be had. 😂

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker sorry I guess that came out rude. I removed it. More seriously, I'm surprised Jimmy Paige didn't have the guitar customized. 15 frets is definitely not enough. Thanks for the video.

For tone chasers, on my channel,. I replicate and build all the pickups used at Madison Square Garden in 1973, including the Double Neck Set which is very different to their modern set .They have all the "Chime" that is missing today.

When Jimmy Page was asked what was the song you hated to play live

At 3:11 I believe it's because guitarists of that era like Jimmy Page were inspired by Jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt more than the next generation of guitarists that followed.. But that's just my opinion... Nice upload BTW.
