Roy Harper with Jimmy Page - The Same Old Rock - Royal Festival Hall 05/11/2011

For Danny from Northampton, enjoying the concert in a unique, if vocal, way but appeared not to be let back in for the second half and therefore missed this! Love Ali and Vicky x

[@weavermomo1]

Couldn't agree more....there is something about Jimmy that no other guitarist has.

[@MJEvermore853]

There is only one Jimmy Page. And thank you Universe for putting him and me on this planet at the same time!

Me too 👍💥🎩

[@MJEvermore853]

This collaboration was incredible. Both of them sounding just as fantastic as the old days. Roy's voice is a little deeper in tone, than in the past, naturally, but wow he's still got it. I can't say enough about Jimmy...he has more imagination, creativity and talent than any other guitarist I've ever known. No one has ever had that "feel" to playing, producing and writing music like hes always had. I couldn't care less that he missed some notes onstage during the few yrs he was on heroin. When he wasn't strung-out, he played beautifully. Is hilarious to see the haters come out of the woodwork at the mere mention of his name...much of it stemming from spiteful jealousy, IMO. They can piss up a rope for all I care 😂

[@docrobert9374]

Roy Harper , probably the most overlooked poets of are time. Master guitar player , very clever, unique and humble. He may sometimes have his moments when he will slowly talk philosophy during his gigs even when heckled by the odd person, but he never gives in to that and will talk longer and slower. One of the great minds and thinkers of are generation. That's why people like Jimmy page and many others from the music world are drawn in by this man's ability to be a social critic, a voice, a poet all through his music. Roy Harper has probably had chances to sell out and make the album that the record producer wants him to make (don't get me wrong some off his later albums not up their to his standards, but he can still pull off a gem of a song on a bad album) but he has never gave in to the world of fame fortune and fakeness. He's stayed a traditional musical artist , putting bread on his table . Today in a world of false celebrities who pass somehow off as musicians or artists and make millions, Roy is an example too all the people who are real artists who put the craft ahead of fame and fortune. Easily along with musicians like Nick drake and other artists who came to light to the bigger audience after they had gone, Roy Harper will hopefully be appreciated and set an example for the world of music and poetry.

[@LindaMewhirter]

yes, I'm baffled why more of my american friends dont' know him. Im a huge fan just after discovering this year

This is one of the greatest combinations ever to exist.

I was there, what a awesome performance

[@TheJazz61]

Jimmy Page lives 10 minutes walk from this venue!

[@cassanderson605]

I got so many chills when he walked out

[@nbeardstallion1]

Death Wish II Soundtrack is classic. Not many musi cians could have written, composed, and produced such an interesting album. It has the Page signature quirky greatness to it. Prelude is one of my favorite songs.

[@AlBatazz]

Tears to my eyes…I remember when Harper would try and recruit any guitar superstar that happened to be recording their Album in the same studio as him, in the 70’s…because his music was deemed un-commercial. Page, Gilmour…I have all those Albums. But to see how Page is so on top of his guitar playing in his older years compared to the end of Zeppelin or his 80’s projects where he was so doped….makes my heart sing! What a success story of a Man! Went to Hell and came back stronger!

[@MrAjax246]

I'm glad Jimmy Page came out to play. He needs too he's awesome on the acoustic guitar (so is Roy btw). This is refreshing to see! Thanks for posting!

[@MateriaIndigo]

These guys sound great together. I would love to see them both in concert. I saw Jimmy on his Outrider tour and he was wonderful.

[@briano.5746]

Jimmy is just the coolest dude on the planet! 🐉🎸🎶🎵🧠

You may not have realised it but if you’re familiar with Pink Floyd, you’ve heard Roy sing. He sang “Have a Cigar” on their “Wish You Were Here” album.

[@gratefuldev23]

@@lindadote well then! I'll amend what I said, to that being the first time I knowingly heard him. Great vocal on Have a Cigar, I thought it was Roger Waters but it was Roy Harper. Hat's off!

[@predragsmoljan8317]

[@tymackie9278]

So great to hear two incredible icons together. Roy sounds as good as ever. He is so underrated and not heard of enough. Loved the song

[@Whitman1819]

Two great craftsmen.

[@RisingSon011]

It seems like Page 's gentle and tasteful way approach to playing acoustic guitar is in contrast to his almost violent way of handling an electric one . Page and Harper make a really good duo , there styles are quite similar but always tasteful and complimentary . I could and very well might listen to this all night!Many Thanks for uplaoding .

[@damonjones9606]

Page is an enigma in many ways, but definitely had the sensitivity of a folk musician

[@MongerOfStrings8222]

He knew exactly how to handle and utilise both in the best possible ways, truly an all time great.

[@apes4days254]

@@damonjones9606 most of his style is derivative of Bert Jansch's folk style

[@darrellkastin6738]

@@apes4days254 Like any great musician he pulls from a wide range of musicians: Narcisco Yepes, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Clarence White, Lowell George (Page's favorite American band, Little Feat), Scotty Moore, James Burton, and Harper, to say nothing of all the old great blues musicians.

[@AntonyFleck]

We love you Roy !!!!!!....

[@jackskillet]

this is why jimmy page is the greatest guitarest that has ever held the instrument..it is the essence of the guitar to be played this way..he has matured to be the best that ever was..who else from jimmy's background has been a master all techniques of play..he has shown this to be true..proving his talent for the guitar with out a sent of promulgation..this is a unusualy quiet man of rock n roll representing the roots off the guitar...and the stories told through music..he is truly amazing

[@joeyhuebner10]

Dave V- Very true, but I can't think of many guitarists, excluding Hendrix, Green, and Roy, that had Jimmy's creative mind, even if it was above his own technical ability. If Page hadn't done drugs, he would probably have pushed further with Zep's compositions. He broke a boundary between technicality and creativity that captivates me, and I respect him fully for that.

[@jppage3292]

Dave V Your opinion is just that, idiot.

[@jppage3292]

JH For me, no one was better than JP 68-72. No one came close as a player, producer, or, really band leader. Ppl always compare JP to specific players; however, no one did EVERYTHING Jimmy did during those early Zeppelin yrs. But, yea, his addictions fucked up some of his legacy. LZ was over for me creative-wise after 75. Having said that, I'd fly anywhere, pay anything, do anything to see them in concert tomorrow.

[@zepman9200]

@Dave V Let's hear what you have done on the guitar? If it's better, I will agree with your statement.

[@loriholloway5866]

This is so beautiful. Jimmy Page started as England's most in demand studio musician. Of course he can adapt to any style. He cut his teeth professional on exactly that. Do your homework before you critique.

[@user-id3go9xd4t]

I love Jimmy...

[@sheilabowcock7707]

There is no greater or more exclusive than the acoustic guitar.and these two prove it.

Must've been awesome watching this live

[@nbeardstallion1]

Great soundtrack that he wrote, composed, produced, and played many of the instruments. Amazing musician and once in a lifetime talent. Great music lives on through the ages and Deathwish 2 while not exactly pop radio material is a wonderful display of Page's talents especially when considering he created it all himself to fit a particular movie and even got an album out of it. ElHombre is deaf.

[@nigelbond6837]

I was there, it was a great concert even before Jimmy came on. I thought later that night that I would never see anything so good again, and 10 years on I still haven't.

[@davidcudlip6587]

I always loved Jimmy's acoustic playing as much or even more then his electric playing. His rhythm and drive really weave a story.

[@sososoprano1]

So glad to have found this. I was there with an ex. Roy Harper was our bonding. We were together in the time of Stormcock (which had a profound effect on me) but lost contact, only to get in touch again by sheer chance many years later. Meeting up again to go to this concert was something very special. My ex died a few days ago. I was looking for something of Roy to listen to in his honour. I couldn’t have found anything better. Of course, something of Roy will be played at the funeral.

[@christopherone1]

WTH. 'uncelebrated' Jimmy is literally considered top tier one of the greatest, IMO GOAT, guitarist of all time. He wrote the most iconic music in history. I mean, his influence on music is astounding. Every guitarist wanted to be him back in the day, probably still. Cool AF dude and smart AF, too. Nothing about Jimmy Page is un-celebrated.

[@theresacarmen9847]

Music is big business and if you don't fit the mold they can't use you.

[@ChrisLawton66]

"lesser talents" how judgmental.

[@paramidge8935]

Agreed - and to the 'how judgemental' comment - without qualitative assessment - as a reasoned combination of felt experience and a broad knowledge of the subject what do we have to discern anything? A relativistic plateau of mindless, slavish and soulless consumption? The music industry and who it exploits/pushes on the consumer are not very interesting compared to the experience of something unique and life enhancing and this is where a qualitative judgement becomes absolutely necessary. Hence the right and duty to call out 'lesser talents' as the music industry bottom line in the current climate. It does not mean some great talent does not slip through today (thank goodness) - but what real talent produces is often at odds with the 'business model' for more reasons than simply sales.

[@beemelonhead1]

This is the fourth time I've heard someone say page is sloppy. I feel it's almost becoming trendy among guitarists to say it. Please think before you speak people

[@joeyhuebner10]

beemelonhead1- Yeah, he was only sloppy when he was addicted to heroin (77- 83, for those who didn't know). He's definitely a player with feel, but not overly sloppy.

[@Wirefox1]

Even on a 'sloppy' day, Jimmy Page is still tens times the guitar player that anyone else is. ;)

[@aaronperrotta7055]

Yep and those same people praise sloppiness by Hendrix. It's all how they've programmed by media.

It is strange how the simple combination of two acoustic guitars is so rare. These are both well known, one very well known, artists and they can do it. They were famously ridiculed on Whistle Test playing in the hills. I am not a huge fan of Roy Harper, saw a couple of times but he is his own man.
