Jimmy Page playing at Closing Ceremonies

[gr8whtnorth]

He just played "whole lotta Love" on top of a London Bus.

Very cool!

I love Page. I can't wait for the closing ceremonies. For my money he's top 5 greatest guitar players of all time.

I know Led Zep got back together for a show in England with Jason Bonham on drums. I got to see Page in the mid 80's with Paul Rogers when they were with the Firm. I also got to see Plant and Page when they toured together in the late 90's. I'd love to see these guys get together for a world tour. Plant just turned 60 a few days ago, if they are going to do it they better do it soon.

I thought it was kinda weak also and I'm a huge Zeppelin fan.

I agree. Rolling Stone ranked him 9th. I'd have to rank him higher than that.

I'd have Hendrix on top (as most would). I think I'd have to put Page #2. Others I'd definitely have in my top 10 would be Stevie Ray, Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Duane Allman.

Here's Rolling Stone's list: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/sto...s_of_all_time/

[garth]

He's at the Arts Festival every year and plays sometimes at the OCU Jazz Lab.

He played at my middle school back in the day

He's pretty damn good!

I don't remember much about the late 60s or early 70s but I remember vividly the first time I ever heard "whole lotta love" in 1969. I was driving somewhere in east Texas (I don't remember why ). but I do remember marveling at the merger of rhythm and blues and rock and the revolutionary new musical direction that Zeppelin created.

Here is my short list.

Eric Clapton

Stevie Ray. Got to see him with Jeff Beck as the opening act.

What, no Eddie Van Halen guy's?

Richie Blackmore

Tony Iommi

Jimmy Page. I do like Page but he plays a little sloppy at times.
