A fact: Led Zeppelin was Jimmy Page. Everyone contributed but it was Page that was behind everything.

I listened to Zeppelin - even on 8 tracks. But since I play guitar now, and went back to learn their music, I have a new appreciation I didn’t have as a teen. It’s an incredibly complete “band” with three musicians. Their live performances show how good they were with improvisation. Jimmy played three different guitars on some recordings, but was able to get that feel by himself during “live” shows.

And I thought I new a lot, but then I bought Jimmy’s book last year... “Jimmy Page” and realized I didn’t know that much. I have read it front to back a few times and referred back to it often. I recommend that.

Ann Wilson is another guitarist from that era who knocks it out of the park. I found her again. She’s one of the best rhythm guitarist easily. Go watch her live performances of Crazy On You. That is some serious skill right there. She can destroy guitar strings pretty quickly. .

If Zeppelin was Page, then they should have been able to continue following Bonham’s untimely passing.
