Whenever I listen to Jimmy Page, it reminds me of listening to a polite, classic, English gentleman.

Kudos Mr. Interviewer on letting Mr. Page speak without interruption.

As much as I am not a Phil Collins fan and I am a Zeppelin fan, I have to say that the drumming wasn't the biggest issue when they played rock and roll at Live Aid. Robert was brutal and Jimmy was not prepared at all.

I really love Led Zeppelin. But on Live Aid Page was probably the most stoned person in the western hemisphere, no one to blame but himself.

The Jimmy Page SWAG starts at 10:06, ""wait a minute, 4 guitarists, I can do that on my own." Class !

I learn the guitar as a child because of this man! I play piano and drums because of Led Zeppelin! I could never thank Jimmy, Robert, John and JPJ enough for how they changed my life.

When he said everyone was doing “different things” during Live Aid, I thought he was talking about drugs...

Got to meet Jimmy and JP Jones and it was as cool as you imagine it would be. Completely genuine, funny, and gracious both of them were.

Jimmy page will always be the master of masters. I know there's Clapton, beck and many others, but Jimmy stands alone in the world of any guitar.

Jimmy so high in Live aid, he didn't need a stairway to heaven

Led Zeppelin 1968 to 1980 twelve years of musical masterpieces..

"You have to understand, this wasn't the day of twitting on the internet" :)

I remember watching their Live Aid performance as it was broadcast and my heart just broke. The 80s look they had adopted and the piss-poor performance were so sad. What I say to everyone is watch the Live Aid performance and see for yourself who is playing and/or singing badly. It ain't the drumming that is at fault! Page and Plant were truly appalling that day.

There are so many insainly good guitarists but only one Jimmy Page. My favorite, hands down.

I dont think the drummers were the issue for Live Aid, in fact it was everything else

I actually got to see Led Zeppelin in concert may 18th 1973 in Dallas TX in my opinion they were truly at the peak of their careers at that time. They put on an over the top show that night. My girlfriend who is my wife of 43 years now snuck around to the back of the auditorium to what looked like a loading dock with a high fence around it. There was noone else around so we sat there and smoked a joint then all of a sudden we heard some sirens in the distance. It was them with a police escort by this time a large crowd of people had gathered behind the fence there were two limos robert and john paul jones and another guy i didn't recognize got out of the first limo and then john bonham, jimmy page, and some girls got out of the second limo we were fairly close and the thing I'll never forget is we were all screaming like maniacs and jimmy was the only one that actually stopped for a few seconds looked up at us smiled and waved no autographs or anything like that but atleast he acknowledged us A moment in my life I'll never forget

Such a GENTLEMAN! I was fortunate to meet him when he was playing with The Firm. He was in a 5 star hotel bar, which we personally designed, and I said to my boss at the time, "I think that's Jimmy Page! And he said who? I said The Greatest Living Guitarist who played with the best rock band ever, that's who!" Then when i'm starring at him, he comes over to our table and he toasts our glasses and says hello ! Im like- Get the F outta here! I read and heard he is like this with everyone. He takes pics and signs autographs outside of his homes. I would love to sit and chat sometime with him. He would be a great interview!

The premature deaths of John Lennon and John Bonham robbed the world of music that can only be imagined.

Thanks for caring enough to present this terrific footage. I almost can't believe I was ever thinking it might not be interesting. I'm sure glad I watched! It's wonderful to see & hear things like this. You made it seem as if I was enjoying their conversation right in my own living room. You deserve to be proud of your inspired work behind the scenes. I've 'liked' & subscribed.

Still blaming Phil for Live Aid. Classy

I'd love to meet Jimmy, share a couple of bottles of wine and ask him a billion questions. Absolute legend.

Wasted at Live Aid yet still blames Phil Collins..

Jimmy Page and David Gilmour were my first _guitar heroes._ Listening to those two and Alex Lifeson, is how I initially learned to play the instrument myself. But that's only one facet of how all three changed my life for the better. The sounds and images, the feelings, their beliefs and convictions, all hold deeper meaning for me. To this day that undefinable element I call _musical mysticism_ that all three bands had in a big way, is still what I like discovering more than anything when listening to new bands.

A great band. Every member, great contributions. I was fortunate to see them play at the time of Blind Faith. So much energy live!

I was there and it was great.

Like how Jimmy says twitting instead of tweeting

" I could do that on my own....really" -Damn thing is, he could.! He really could!

Page has mysteriously turned into an elderly Chinese man.

Great interview, Michael. Great questions in such a short interview. And thank you, Jimmy, for taking your time with Michael and all you've done for guitar...

I was in a swanky hotel in London last year. Wanted a table for lunch, said can I have that one there. Was told no that's reserved for a regular. Turned out to be Jimmy Page. So sat at next table. What people say about him seems to be true. Was all old-school manners and staff loved him. I guess you are like that when you have nothing to prove. Nobody else seemed to recognise him - he clearly liked that.

Great job by Michael Hann here.

It's great an interviewer asks a question and then actually keeps his mouth shut and listens to the answer without going "hmmm", "okay", "yeah", "right", like so many "interviewers" do on KZfaq.

Page is so mysterious what a guy you could listen to him talk for days! Its unexplainable

I saw them in December, 68', fourth band on a four band show at The Fillmore. Played first obviously. They played the first album 1st cut to last. At the end there was about a 5 second silence. Then music changed forever.

I discovered zep when i was 12 or 13... led zeppelin the bbc sessions is a cd i had found in my house, and i listened to the live version of Thank You on that album... i listened to that song everyday before going to school lol when i was 13 i got a beginner electric guitar and 10w amp for christmas n have been playin ever since! Thank you jimmy! Youre my favorite guitarist ever

I could listen to him all day!

He is just wonderful. The Rain Song still continues to hit my heart as my fav song

Phil Collin's tells a different story about the Live Aid Gig. And if you watch it I think Plant can't hit the notes and Jimmy's off his head.

Thank you so much for posting this!!

Their first gig in England was in my hometown Newcastle upon tyne at the mayfair ballroom.

i was smiling the whole time i watched this. jimmy is the reason i love music and thrash at music.

Led Zeppelin should play the next Super Bowl half time. That last half time show was terrible!

This guy is great with dates.

Seen " Zep " 1969. Boston Tea Party. They played the whole first album. They even did a Beatle cover. 6 month later they where at the Boston Garden. Mind blowing good.

Page a legend...a musical genius 71 years old... his music is living

Wow! What a guy.. What a guitarist. A true superman. Thanks Jimmy for all the music.

I love to hear him speak about his past💕

I'm a Zeppelin fan but the problem at live aid 85 wasn't the drummer's lol.

I was 20 yards from Jimmy and he was wasted... it was 100 degrees in Phila 7/13/85 as well. Phil has played on two of Plants records and toured with him as well as genesis. Phil was at the top of his game. You were a drooling drunk that day. Own it bro.

Blame the drummers?! Are you kidding?

This was an awesome interview. Great chemistry

Oh yeah, cool. I've watched this documentary many times but they didn't show the pictures to which they were referring, thanks for posting.

I love him Just the other day plant and page got back together in 95 and did an amazing tour. I just love and respect you jimmy Thank you

10:04 He went to see Robert playing and he had 3 maybe 4 guitarists playing ... and Page thought 'wait a minute, I could do that on my own really ' .... LOL - that's so funny and the whole kind of delayed reaction of the crowd is funny!

My brother worked for a record distributor in St, Louis at the time and as a 12 year old, I had a copy of the first album BEFORE it was released publicly. ATCO records did these radio station distribution albums that one band on one side and another on the other side. In between the songs was this cheesy announcer telling you about another great ATCO band or song. On the other album side was Dusty Springfield. Fell in love with the band immediately. Got to see them play (finally!) at the Arena. Thanks for all the great tunes, Jimmy, Robert, JP and John(RIP).

music royalty when i got my first guitar in 1998 it was d'yer maker i learned C A minor F Then G for the first week i was playing it now i evolved to Mozart and writing classical music thank you Jimmy for being an inspiration Love from Trinidad look what you music Jimmy " led" to it influenced music today and is still im happy to be born in a time where you maverick guys are 500 years from now they will talk about you like Da Vinci and Robert Plant and you Planted a seed years ago that is still growing long life to you Jimmy may you Legacy live on

Thank you Jimmy for all the great vibrations and beautiful music you have shared with the world! Come over for a big bowl of vegetable soup and hearty sandwich to warm you up this winter! All the best to you!

Love that jacket Jimmy's wearing.

Thanks for the incredible music.

When they played Iowa City in January 1969, Jimmy played a colorful Telecaster, but also what looked like a Gibson acoustic arch top for Black Mt. Side. I still can hardly believe how awesome that concert was.

Jimmy page could be old Bilbo Baggins

One of the best guitarists of all time!

So well spoken is Jimmy.......had no idea. One of my all time favs!

Plant & Page Live at the BBC is my favorite jam! Damn, I wish I could get a CD or DVD of that one.

Zeppelin at their worst is still better than most bands' best.

"You have to understand, this isn't the day of...sort of...twitting the internet" 😂 what a legend

Oh how I love British rock legend’s voices..They’re so soft and attractive and continue be so from when they were in there prime until now.

Note the kindness of taking the time to speak to a man and learning about his son. Wow!

Oh yeah, Live Aid was the 2 drummers' fault. He forgets that we watched that set live & can ALL watch it now on KZfaq despite their removal of that set from the DVD. Nice try Jimmy.

Great interview of the greatest guitarist. I am so glad he provided information regarding Live Aid. It was not Led Zeppelin's finest hour. During the set it just gets worst and worst. So glad they did the O2 show and it was filmed and directed so well. Hats off to Page, Plant, Jones and of course Jason Bonham the son of John Bonham. Saw two dates in Chicago in 1977 and they still standout as monumental shows!

5:55 did you notice? he didn't mention Stairway To Heaven, that he did that song on that one as well, he only mentioned The Rain Song and TSRTS. 6:16 his #1 les paul standard 1958 model is such a beauty. my favourite guitar finish in that particular brown/sunburst.

We were so lucky to have these guys.

"The drummers didn't know the material" 😂😂😂😂 Doesn't he know that the performance is on KZfaq... and it is pretty clear who doesn't know the material, Jimmy!

Learned to play stairway to heaven including the solo . I realised that not only was page a gifted guitarist he was a musical genius and classically trained.

For the gratest rock n blues guitarist of all time he is very humble and down to earth. LED ZEPPELIN THE GOAT

You can tell he has lived a life of rock'n roll. Wonderful human being!

gotta love that Phil Collins and the other drummer get blamed. page was hammered off his ass at live Aid, Robert plant couldn't sing the songs at live Aid... clearly there was no rehearsal...but sure we'll blame the drummers.

John Bonham was an impossible act to follow. He had his own style and, like Keith Moon, nobody could duplicate it. I remember an interview with Moonie where he described himself as 'the best Keith Moon style drummer in the world".

I have been a fan of Jimmy's for over 40 years and I never knew that he was such a thoughtful and down to earth person. God bless the internet.

I love Jimmy, as a person and a musician

just as you cannot build/put together The Beatles (or other select groups), and even though Jimmy "put Zeppelin together", it's said that no one knew the "magic" that would happen from their first jam together in that garage in London. It's the rarest of the rare to have that perfect storm of talent, energy and chemistry that Led Zeppelin had. I'll admit I grew tired of Zep in mid/late 70's bc it/they were everywhere, but all these years later I realize they were even better than I/we thought whether in their prime or not. I'll sum up w/ this -- How many musical acts, STILL, have the hold on fans like Led Zeppelin does?

I love how Jimmy becomes so "relaxed" at 5:55 talking about his first love, guitars. Not matter the subject, its fun to watch an expert talking about their craft.

Zep was an organic movement back then. I was listening at 5-6 years old & had my first small nylon string acoustic guitar at the time. Having older siblings, 10 & 12 years older, I was getting all the popular music I could ever want. I became a Zep fan pretty quick but had more of a direction to the pop of the days...

Page and Albert Lee may be the two coolest, nicest guys in music. It just brings a smile to my face.

Alexxxandder, you are almost in the right, Zep's live performances were less tidy than the studio recordings, not only Page´s solos but Plant's voice, but remember that LZ is more than perfection performances, indeed, that was irrelevant. They were like warriors in every gig. Just take a look at some epic moments like "Last Achilles Stand" live 1979, Knebworth or "Since I've been loving you", 1973 TSRTS (included "Stairway to Heaven" solo part...

" I could do that on my own....really" LOL amazing guitarists

Jimmy Page is a genius for producing a Led Zeppelin experience that was one of kind and will never be repeated

10:09 “Wait a minute, I can do that on my own”… Brilliant 😅

You can't blame the drummer for Robert Plant singing like a dying cat.

I love Jimmy but you can’t stand up for Robert when he sounded like Yoko.

Live aid tells me it just goes to show how much effort it takes to be led zeppelin?such a unique band and music that can only be achieved with unbelievable effort,even when you’re the best in the business 👍🇬🇧

One big year for Jim, and fusion of music improvement and intensity.

My fav of all time since i was 10yrs old (i'm 51). There are a lot of great players but they all have their own styles ie.Hendrix,Eddie Van Halen etc.I think what sets Page apart from the rest (apart from his playing) is the fact that he's a superb song writer. You hear a lot of great players who can't write a decent song and that fact makes him so much better than the rest..Just an opinion.

The drumming was the best thing about Led Zep's performance at live aid.

Advance copies of the first album were made available to radio stations and others in the US so the release date is 1969 but many had heard it at the end of 68 so many concert goers had heard some or all of the album on FM stations.

I love the “he had 3 guitarists, and I thought ‘I can do that on my own’” - not a flex, just the truth 🎉

Can’t blame PhilCo for the ‘Live aid fiasco’!

Great interview. Page is the coolest.

Absolutely my fav band growing up, but Zep at Live Aid was The Train Wreck Seen From Space.

His voice is so soothing. 😍
