The first segment is prior to the band receiving their induction. You can see towards the end of Ahmet's speech that Page and Plant get teary-eyed.

'Groupies thrown out the window' LOL i love Jonesy

[@bkrbyex4339]

Did he mean the TV sets?....(LOL!)

[@fiamma5730]

He made me laugh so hard 😂

[@ZumaDogg]

I was at the Led Zep induction ceremony at Waldorf-Astoria invited by JPJ's manager and sat at the manager's table. Jimmy Page lit up a doobie and passed it around. I never saw a joint burning inside a hotel ballroom. But, no one was gonna tell Jimmy to put it out. Lol. By the time Led Zep took the stage the room was half empty because record company/industry execs didn't even care. So, I walked right up to the edge of the stage. Being a hotel ballroom stage it was just a low stage (waist high). As close to Zep as humanly possible without actually being onstage. Quite a memorable experience.

[@marciashiraishi5891]

In the previous video, we saw Jimmy in 1966, so young, baby-faced, before world fame with Led Zeppelin, the band he formed and which became a legend. Here he is at 51, a guitar god, beloved, famous, with a huge baggage of life, success and craziness. No more baby face but still such a handsome man! I love you Jimmy. Thank you for Zeppelin, thank you for the wonderful soundtrack of my life! 🎶 ❤️ 🎶 ( and thank you Mark for posting ) 😊

[@malcshone4409]

Met Jimmy outside his London house in September 2018. He was obviously a little tired but was very polite and gracious to me. Legend.

[@luciabenedetti3893]

Bellissimo filmato!! Adoro la parte in cui si parla delle groupies e vedere la reazione di Jimmy non ha prezzo 🙋 così come quando si commuove per la meritata induzione sulla Fame 👏💯💯 Come sua acerrima fan mi dispiace un po'che non abbia fatto lui il discorso lungo ... è perché non ce l'avrebbe fatta dalla troppa emozione, sono sicura. È una persona sensibile, la spavalderia la usava tutta sul palco ( oltre che con le groupies, ovviamente insieme alla incredibile bellezza che aveva) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@marie-madeleinerousseau5965]

It's Rex King, their tour manager. He was the tour manager for Zeppelin from 79-80, also tour manager for the Who, Metallica, and for Plant's solo tours and the two Page and Plant tours in the 90s. (he just happens to have a resemblance to Richard Cole).
