[@birdie_pop]

his giggle is the cutest thing on this earth

[@n1c4m1]

GEEZZZ The guy is 70 and he gigles up there like a little boy!!!! :D Jimmy is awesome!!!

[@Danazawa]

Jimmy's robe should have dragons on it!

[@SummerofKittyLove]

Aww Jimmy still sweet and shy after all these years.

[@LookItsAmin]

The lady in the back is like "Wow, I'm only 1 foot away from the world's most praised guitarist"

[@kw2616]

Jimmy Page has so much class.

[@lufiealice6251]

Such a nice and pleasant guy, really comes across in this recording. So glad that he beat his drug addiction because he really is one of the greatest guitar players and song writers ever.

[@JimmyPageAddict]

Jimmy.... humble and beautiful

[@iamkenman101]

All praise Dr. James Patrick Page. He's qualified for a Doctorate in Chemistry as well from California Institute of Technology based on the way he describes "the Led Zeppelin years" :-)

[@MizQue]

I wish he would have spoken a little longer; it's so rare that Jimmy speaks. I could listen to him all day!

[@bluebirdreviews]

Truly an honor to be part of music history. Berklee always delivers and Jimmy Page is the definition of legend.

[@joeyaerosmith]

hands down the most brilliant guitar player and imaginative composer of guitar ever! :)

[@aylbdrmadison1051]

I have never seen Jimi so nervous before... Omg, I love him even more now ! He's so humble, grateful and even inspired here, and just cute as a button. I wanna hug him so badly, lols.

[@rknrlgrl6146]

Just when I thought I couldn't love Jimmy Page more than I do right now....He's such a sweet, charming, humble and talented man ❤

[@legasiguy551]

Dr. Page is a musician's musician! Although he was self taught, he's knows his craft and then some, so deserving of this honor!

[@janiakowska]

James is a shy man....and an incredible artist THE GUITARIST ever

[@guitarttimman]

Jimmy Page = The best guitarist in the world.

[@bobbyn.9773]

Had the pleasure to meet and chat with him on and off for about two hours thru my friendship with his lovely girlfriend Scarlett and he is such a sweet kind man so don't believe all the crap they say about him!

[@JamieGoldsman]

Such a beautiful man/artist/musician! Love Jimmy Page.

[@Nighthawk5210]

The greatest guitarist ever in rock and roll. I'd be too nervous to be in the same room with him but he seems so sweet, shy and warm..I love how he compliments the great singer/songwriter Valerie Simpson--what an amazing guy, a true legend.

[@BillyBogart]

Got to appreciate the way Jimmy says things with consideration and a lay person's background full of honesty and of course intergrity. My brother graduated there. .

[@CooManTunes]

From the stage to the robe. :'D What a beautiful, talented man. One of humanity's treasures.

[@guitarttimman]

Led Zeppelin got old. It's a nightmare. In the 70's, I thought they would never get old. I miss the band so much. And, Bonzo, damn it! Bonzo was so cool. No one could ever replace the guy. Bonzo was the Jimmy Page of drums, and Jimmy Page was the Bonzo of guitar.

[@annamelanie5151]

Heartfelt and humble. Love how he mixed his self taught history (inherent talent) with stark reality of then needing to learn music. Would love to hear the pre commencement concert they gave to jimmy, especially his music they played for him.

[@sandyepstein7835]

I graduated from BU but wish Jimmy was our speaker He rocks I swear I would haven't fallen asleep

[@dijamaira1981]

That giggle tho....

[@ShahyarGhanbari]

CONGRATS Dr. PAGE. An UNFORGETTABLE PAGE.

[@danhall716]

It's hard to believe that this permanently-smiling man is the same guy with "the bad-ass attitude" look on the back photo of Led Zeppelin I LoL

[@MizQue]

Simply the best. I love Jimmy Page!

[@jimmmmybrady]

Hat's off to Berklee.A Maestro is a Maestro.

[@lia49]

Jimmy Page is so amazing!

[@MrStcarroll29]

I graduated from Berklee in 2000. I wish we had Jimmy

[@FCCZJ1903]

Wow, that's Jimmy Page in a very not-jimmy-page-y outfit.

[@dannycia]

I dunno, I always figured he'd wind up senior faculty at Hogwarts.

[@willt7908]

danhawkeye This comment is so key.

[@BA-ef4pr]

In love with his voice

[@iamremmie]

Ahrgh! I wish this was our commencement speaker. A true humble rock god. Lucky Berklee students!!!! Rock on and God bless

[@douglascompton6016]

He's beyond a professor of music

[@rrip1]

The woman behind Jimmy is beautiful.

[@elainegoliszeski276]

We Love you Jimmy

[@maomao665]

No one, at Berklee, knows that there is a teaching technique defined as: creativity technique? It analyzes the logical progression of time, in reference to the different cultures of different genres of music. No melodic frase is alone; it brings with it some brothers or sisters who support it, which, implyng the kind of cultural belonging that distinguishes it,are always ready, in the right openness, to replace, in the logic expression of the musical language of feelings. All this, is pratically demonstrable by myself, in the example of science: observe, hypothesize,prove. This is the point of departure in the teaching of music.

[@ayshajajaja]

"well good morning i had to check my watch there to make sure it was the morning huEH"

[@cjwinger13]

SO GORGEOUS !!! I love Page!!

[@braden2112]

This is awesome. Imagine Jimmy Page watching you graduate.

[@jamesberlo4298]

Wow a Graduation commencement like no other, what an awesome way to depart Berklee . I'm from Boston I'm so pissed I didnt know he was there walking around Downtown and the Back Bay, Berklee no far from 'Dover' st. (renamed because in the South end in the late 60's to 70,s was so derelict and dangerous ) is where the Tea Party Club was, its the first floor of this old huge Gothic Brownstone and is now a 7-11 store .

[@Stairpartsdotcom]

Wonderful. What a lucky bunch of folks.

[@jayclarke6671]

He's so well spoken and carries himself so well in public for a rocker. Most of these guys couldn't handle something as high profile as this. Both Jimmy and Robert Plant are very cultured for people who don't have a higher education.

[@troddy3925]

The immortal one, James Patrick Page!

[@patricknunez8884]

“To be a Rock and not to Roll “ the greatest Rock N Roll Lyric, from the Greatest Rock N Roll Band.

[@OliverPatrickLoughnan]

[@SammyN69]

Who is the attractive faculty member sitting behind him? It was a little distracting.

[@robinvann6663]

"SWEET"...💚💙...smiling

[@K.J.734]

One of the best. 🤘✌

[@KENNi19403]

A very humble man with immense humility in a cutthroat world of music very classy speech

[@kiyarubrent6323]

Jimmy page skip class and creates the best rock and roll band on earth

[@RAinteractive]

Bless Jimmy's pink tassel. In that beret, with that giggle, he's like a very sexy Frank Spencer. Loved him since I, and he, were young :) Live long Jimmy xx

[@georginaguillen5167]

[@unstablesun8179]

Hey Jimmy! Nice hat!

[@Braglemaster123]

Too cool 😎

[@iamkenman101]

What do Bart Starr and Jimmy Page Have in Common? Quite a lot. Just as Starr took the Green Bay Packers to the top of the pro football world and helped establish the NFL as the dominant sports league in America, so Page guided Led Zeppelin to the top of the rock music world and solidified rock music as the most popular art form in American culture. Like Beethoven (a sacrilegious comparison for some of you) whose versatility ranged from the thunderous Fifth Symphony to the ethereal “Fur Elise,” Page’s music was a striking combination of heavy (“led”) and light and soaring (zeppelin)-giving listeners a musical panorama running the gamut of human emotion. Both the Starr’s Packers and Page’s Led Zeppelin set the standard in their respective entertainment industries. In both cases, their careers tracked the emergence of new technologies that amplified fans’ ability to appreciate their remarkable talents-Starr’s career benefiting from the advent of instant replay and Page’s from major improvements in sound amplification and recording equipment. Success and lofty achievement are won by hard work and commitment.

[@Thegeneralms1]

I share a birthday with both of them.

[@freerangegirl4457]

♡

[@AnalogOpher]

I seriously doubt that he could anywhere near sight read today. I'm willing to bet half the reason he left studio work was the ever increasing need to read faster and more complicated stuff. Of course, none of this really matters because he is the best rock guitar player in history.

[@charlieleonardo]

[@WileECoyotey]

Zep was really a 1 hit wonder. SWtH was no doubt a brilliant song ... but the other crap was barely tolerable with Plants singing
