[@janiceriley7209]

Jimmy Page is a maestro. All contemporary music was grounded out of classical music. So much of the early metal was sheer compositional genius. Everything Page has composed is original new sound that others followed. Page's Bolero now called Beck's Bolero can be heard on a Yardbirds cd when it was first played. Both musicians were in the Yardbirds. Not certain how or why Back called it his own. It is amazing either way. Nothing is comparable to these creations. So thankful to have them. Hope everyone can appreciate the mastery of all this. Hurray for Page being an amazing survivor. Unimaginable not to have him.

When Led Zeppelin's debut album came out during my junior year at Kent State, we all listened to Dazed and Confused and wished we could be one of the cool kids, but they were in the dorm where all the 'heads' lived. Now, Jimmy Page unites the heads and the classical music lovers with this glorious piece. I'd be hard pressed to choose between Chopin's Prelude no. 4 and Page's version - it just rips my heart from my chest and then returns it safe and sound when finished.

[@pierregobetlalanne8774]

Thank you so much for uploading this. I found on KZbin videos of three different nights where he plays this song in that same event. Two of them are painful to watch. Jimmy is obviously far from his best shape. His eyes seem off. His bends are so inaccurate they hurt the ears. He fails to make a lot of notes sound properly. And then there is this version. It’s like a miracle. All the things that fall apart in the other two seems to come together - listen to the emotion in those bends, the subtlety in the way he changes from playing hard to softly, the hammers and pull offs that make the end of his sentences so palpable. Even the way he moves is deliciously quirky. It’s one of my favourite songs he ever played, it moves me in a special way, perhaps also because it shows that genius can survive and even feed on the darkest of times. To me, this is Jimmy’s swan song.

Great music has no age limit, but I cannot help to agree that if more knew of his brilliance today the world may be far better!
