Page was like a composer, to ask that he perfectly reproduce live what he created in the studio is asking a bit much for a band with one guitar player. You're right most Zep songs had at least two guitar tracks some had as many as five and Page would bounce around between the parts which always amazed me like in "Celebration Day", there are five guitar tracks in that song. Page had the magic, no doubt. In many songs there is variation everytime a riff repeats itself which is quite intriguing from a player's point of view. He also had "The Tone", guitar players are still trying to emulate the "Whole Lotta Love" tone.

No kidding. I'd give anything to know how he got that compressed sound for the lead in "Whole Lotta Love."

I do know that the song was recorded with a Telecaster (as the first two Zep albums were) and not with a Les Paul (as is always assumed).
