Shu ha ri 守破離 Vol 2

October of 2012 Jimmy Page have visited Jimmy Sakurai's show which held in Tokyo.

[@timw.6910]

If Jimmy Page takes the time, effort and $ to fly from England to Japan to show Mr. Jimmy Sakurai some love, respect and genuine praise, than clearly Mr. Jimmy Sakurai deserves AT LEAST a thumbs up 👍🏼

[@xavierares8464]

2 thumbs 1 for jimmy the other for jimmy

[@yoshitakasatou7566]

​@@xavierares8464❤

[@mgpvii]

I don’t think the money to make the trip is of any inconvenience for Page… taking the time to do it is another story.

[@cunatake7828]

he didn’t take the time or effort or money. he was in town for a book signing & simply decided to make a stop

[@godbyone]

I think it’s Jimmy’s real son

[@mthomas1973]

This man has dedicated his life to paying tribute to Jimmy. He deserves every bit of credit he gets. Not only for having great taste but for being an astounding player.

[@bkrbyex4339]

Wish I could have met him, when he played for Jason Bonham's band when they opened for peter Frampton, in Chicago this past summer was lucky enough to get a front row seat, but not a backstage pass...first time I've seen both bands. But missed the first 2 opening numbers, because I had to go through the metal detectors as usual....great show though....keep up the good work J.S. ...wish you could come back to Chicago....with your own band.

[@guitarttimman]

He picked the best band to idolize.

[@tanapatpeemanee1230]

veryyy...... sure !! Mr. Jimmy also the great one ....himself.

[@vexguine]

True. And for real Jimmy to sit and watch your work for 2 hours... Only a real fan will understand. Those 30 years are paid for him for sure.

[@adamwatson6916]

And able to make a good living doing it .

[@charlesdjones1]

I'm just imagining Page that night, probably holding back a few tears at not only hearing how much heart Mr. Jimmy put in his creations, but just being transported back to a time we ALL know he misses so much, when he was without question the greatest guitarist on the planet.

[@kathleenkarsten5739]

Amen! 🥰

[@stormyknight66]

Just have to wonder what was going on in Jimmy's mind to see and hear somebody that looked like him, moved like him and played like him. Imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery.

[@finch45lear]

This musician is keeping the Led Zeppelin experience ongoing for those individuals who were not able to see the band perform live. The live experience is another important aspect of the music along side the wonderful compositions preserved on record. Just like you would go see a performance of Chopin’s music by a professional pianist, Jimmy is doing the same for Led Zeppelin. And he’s doing it at the highest standard possible that his talent and work ethic will allow. You can’t ask for more than that.

[@chrissullivan1810]

When Jimmy’s head is bobbing, you know that you have the seal of approval!

[@Kreln1221]

*I loved it when Page slammed his head forward on the first big chord of **_Since I've Been Loving You._** You could tell that he was fully and completely immersed in the music.*

[@chrisgonzalez739]

I saw him play with Jason Bonham in San Jose last year and I gotta he deserves every ounce of praise for his ability to recreate Jimmy’s playing! So jealous but so happy for a fellow Jimmy Page fan!

[@jeffguitarnelson1644]

Being a Led Zeppelin nut since a little kid. I was inspired by Jimmy Page to play guitar. I got a call 3 years ago that Robert Plant wanted to do a surprise show in New Orleans before playing an arena the following night. I was suggested to play with him. 10am in the morning knowing about it all day I could not tell anyone. About 9 pm he came into a packed club called BJs here and he was ready to start to sing. Wow. My Hero right there next to me. No Zeppelin songs only Blues. For close to 2 hours we played with other members of his band and me on guitar next to him the whole time. He rocked my back like he did with Jimmy I was literally in Heaven. A huge smile on my face the whole show. After we did the last number he said That was fun mate. We hung out back of the club for about 30 minutes until he and his entourage had to leave. It was refreshing to talk abut life and not just music. An amazing event in my life. :)

[@gregdenis5191]

Awesome !

[@fourkray4825]

Jeff Guitar Nelson Nice! What an experience that must have been.

[@mjt11860]

u lucky BASTARD! i would KILL to meet & talk to 1 of my 4 idols! but i will have to settle for being in the same room as jimmy & robert....when they played at the local concert hall back in the 90s. but it is the highlight of my life, so far. you've done very well, to say the least!

[@josephgordon9645]

Jeff Guitar Nelson i dont think rock n roll is dead just needs new inventions most things you can do with a standerd tuned gutair has in most caces has aready been taken by someone else i have some great things and instruments that i made myself that would work great for rock i roll music i can not tell you what it is but i invented an instrument that sounds like a race car going threw the timeing and i can also do it at different speeds and it is not at all drums like john bonh did

[@elizabethrickman5974]

What year was that? I know he played at Jazz Fest too, in 2014, I believe. Did you know Jimmy was married to a lady from Metairie? Patricia Ecker Page.

[@walkispacheco88]

This puts a wide smile on my face!

[@keiferreefer1]

That's so cool Jimmy came to see you, he probably got a kick out of it, like he's watching himself 40+ years ago

[@HADASSALOURENCOLourenco]

Nunguem melhor que jimy

[@guitarttimman]

You know you're good when Jimmy Page comes to see you. WOW!

[@AirAssault7]

Pretty badass. Gotta say.

[@CharlesAgajanian]

That’s exactly why he went.

[@superjohnmcginley]

Mr Jimmy looks like Jimmy Page 40 years in the future , imagine what he’d look like after 40 years with Jack Daniels

[@arramos6802]

Those are the best night of you're life and memorable

[@elainegoliszeski276]

This was great. I am so happy for Mr Jimmy. He sure deserved this.

[@phonglo97]

I'm amazed at how gracious a person Jimmy Page is. He's as great a human being as he is a guitarist.

[@user-jh4ce7ob3b]

何度見てもSAKURAIさんが本人に絶賛されてるとこで泣いてしまう。頑張ってると良いことあるんだね、、

[@omtribe5693]

Japanese way of perfecting everything they do.... Hats off \m/

[@agylub]

Saw Page in 1972 and Sakurai three nights ago with Jason Bonham. My life is complete.

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

Just saw Jimmys band at the Whisky a couple weeks ago. Excellent show and much better than Jason's version with better singing.

[@MrBeams1]

ペイジとハグとか羨ましすぎますよ 桜井さんの今までの努力が報われたと言える瞬間だね。

[@hudentdw2]

This is indeed the greatest tribute a guitarist can have while still being alive this must be chilling to Page to listen what he did in his youth when someone is recreating it it must be an indescribable feeling.

[@stevepringle2295]

I loved every second of this video❤ Thank you 🙏

[@yukihitokawai2168]

観させてもらったこちらまで嬉しくなりました。ジミーの立場で考えてみると、圧倒的な世界評価を受けている伝説的存在であるとはいえ、自分をここまで追いかけてくれた人が居た事とそのSAKURAIさんのプレイとサウンドの完成度は本当に嬉しかったのではないでしょうか。私はヘボドラマーですが…SAKURAIさんと同じ立場に立ったと考えるだけで眩暈と吐き気がしてきますｗ　配信ありがとうございました。ご活躍を！

[@elainegoliszeski276]

Mr Jimmy this was so wonderful. How you Honored Jimmy Page. You nailed it. I know you made him happy. Thank you .

[@marciashiraishi5891]

“Light beer. But non alcoholic ”... unbelievable! Ohhh Jimmy !!! It makes me very, very happy!

[@kaboom6157]

lol 🤣

[@audiophileman7047]

This is an incredible dream come true for any guitarist who loves Jimmy Page. 😻 Congratulations, Mr. Jimmy! You made Jimmy Page just as happy as he made you happy that night. Hope to see you perform live some day. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@sakitamablack8686]

凄いね、これ。一生懸命頑張って夢を追い続ければ、こんな凄い事が起る！って事のいい例えだね。桜井さんの完コピ。レベルが違うんだよな・・・。

[@pmtam290]

日本人の誇りですね‼️

[@MrMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD]

鳥肌です。 涙が出てきました。 桜井さん凄過ぎだし ジミー・ペイジの偉大さを 改めて確認できました。 心から感謝します。

[@pamcorcoran3325]

Jimmy, Im so happy you met Jimmy Page, that was a very special moment in your life.

[@user-so6wp1pz8r]

ある意味近代的なギターテクニック身に付けるより、ここまでジミーペイジに似せるほうが、難しいと思う。

[@chasecom1]

This was a very special video. Bravo to Jimmy Sakurai. No one can touch him but Pagey.

[@gregdenis5191]

If I had to play with Page watching , I would've shit my pants & that would've been the end of it. I truly think Page was the one more blown away at this show ... that somebody could master his every nuance so perfectly had to have blown his mind.

[@tomacosta85]

Me too. The first solo would be nerve racking.

[@pg123ab]

Chills when he played Still Loving You. Amazing job. Arigato

[@hamachan9310]

ジミーペイジは私にとってギターの神。その神の演奏をここまで完璧に演奏されるジミー桜井さんは、まさに日本のギターの神です。

[@deepnews2929]

全盛期のJimmy Page clone です。誰もここまで到達していなかった。沢山バンドあったけど、唯一無比でLed Zeppelinの美しい神聖さに触れる事ができる。最後のJimmy Pageのインタビューで櫻井さんをリスペクトしていた。ほんといい人だなあ。

[@nv1493]

Jimmy Page, a totally gracious and encouraging mentor! Mr. Jimmy knocked it out of the park, what a tribute. I remember teen years in the 70's, playing in my room, imagining being in a big arena, right with my musical idols. This must have been a singular experience of a lifetime to play in front of such a musical legend. Simply WOW.

[@tboysrocknroll9252]

I too am a huge Jimmy Page fan, and with all due respect YOU SIR EARNED THIS!!!..You are by far the best at what you do...good on ya man!!!

[@gianni62ful]

Bravo!

[@daimionhollins528]

This guy's got Jimmy Page down the whole nine yards of talent, including his outfits Pagy wore in live concerts. Bless the soul of that man 🎶🎵🎶🎵🤟😲 Woohoo!

[@faunoram]

Mr Jimmy Sakurai is absolutely amazing, you can tell a really strong discipline, hard work and concentration in his music and stage performance !!

[@flushtheglobalists7962]

Mr. Sakurai's singer on Black Dog nailed Robert Plant's vocals ( I'm sure Mr. Page noticed that as well!) As for Jimmy Sakurai- I would've been nervous but highly honored that my guitar hero was watching me up close and personal.😅😅😅😅😅

[@user-so6wp1pz8r]

本人見てる前で、そのまんま弾ける、貴方はジミーペイジ以上にジミーペイジです。

[@moreblack]

3:27 they both hit the cue starting the song at the exact same time

[@RobertoGaspar69]

Page is so humble! Imagine how kind of him to go out to see someone playing and living life as whole tribute to his art. I felt very happy for both, specially to Mr. Jimmy. After all his dedication and hours and hours of practice, being able to see his lifetime Idol, in person watching him play with a smile on his face, it’s priceless!!! As die hard can of Zepp, and specially Zoso… l am also satisfied! It means our Guitar God is not only a phenomenal artist but also a beautiful soul. Keep on Rockin’ Mr. Jimmy. Thank you for giving to our guitar hero an incredible gift.

[@Plebeyo-hq4tf]

Awesome. It was Jimmy Page himself to see the show. Here in Argentina we call that "The Child's Dream".

[@deadoralive6320]

ジミーペイジは神‼️ 本人目の前に演奏なんて夢のようだね。

[@Ash_Hudson]

So many feels watching this. Especially when he nailed the intro to Since I've Been Loving You

[@BoogProductionsYT]

Imagine watching someone be you, imagine how good you feel having inspired so many people around the world. Jimmy Page is such a kind soul

[@gigiadd2816]

Great Guitar, he play as Jimmy Page of LZ era. Great meeting , great Legend

[@phenoful]

ジミー桜井さんのジミーペイジさんへの 真摯なリスペクトの姿勢が大好きです。 日本人として誇りを感じます。

[@D.J.Octocool]

Jimmy Page is an absolute ledged to visit him. It made me really happy to see this.

[@armandrollice3467]

I just came across this video on Facebook, so I went to KZbin and watch this video, the video is awesome. I had a smile on my face almost the whole time watching the video. Seeing Jimmy Page rocking out, clapping hands, and even standing ovations. Jimmy looks so happy to meet you. Dazed and confused was amazing and I could tell Jimmy was well pleased. Since I've been loving you was great, I wish I could have heard the whole song that's my favorite Led Zeppelin song. I saw you Jimmy when you were with LEDZEPAGAIN I do believe it was in Newport Beach several years ago in California. You are fantastic. My wife and I met Jimmy Page we flew to London to see the Led Zeppelin 02 to arena concert in 2007, the concert was amazing My dream comes true to see Led Zeppelin. When we met Jimmy Page, he was very friendly and polite, I got to take a photograph with him. Led Zeppelin forever! Armando from California 8.16.23

[@user-hy2ii2ue8x]

ジミーペイジってどれだけ成功したアーティストのコンサートでも最初の4曲ぐらいだけ観たら帰るとヌーノがインタビューで言ってたけど最後までライブを楽しんでるこの映像はレアだな

[@piyori574]

ペイジも昔の自分達を見てる感じがしたんでしょうね

[@aniquinstark4347]

I found the Japanese philosophy in the beginning very interesting. It puts Jimmy Sakurai in context as a true admirer and dedicated follower of Zeppelin and Page. Not just an actor playing a historical character.

[@Geotubest]

This. Was. Beautiful!

[@BillyBob-ec5ox]

What a thrilling evening this must have been for both Jimmys. As for Jimmy Page, it’s like he’s essentially seeing himself in concert, in person. And he just gets to sit back and enjoy it

[@markblue5375]

Awesome 👍

[@isileiliparis8626]

I saw Jimmy Sakurai while he was touring with Jason Bonham. When he came on stage it was like watching Jimmy Page's performance at the royal albert hall in 1970.

[@frankhernandez6883]

*Great--finally meeting his hero. Not everyone can be that lucky*

[@LouieLandsCandyTreat]

amazing tribute to you Mr Jimmy that the legend himself would come to see you play. Not something Page does often.

[@ArnoldwilliamDow]

That was beautiful.

[@Malda27_]

if i were to meet jimmy page id be im amazed mode

[@philc4520]

Dream come true. Coming face to face with the Master of Rock'n'Roll.....

[@bkrbyex4339]

If my friend, were to meet him....who knows maybe someday,.. he might.

[@martinherts1967]

Trust me, I was!!!

[@Dad-Gad]

I can't imagine many living legends going out of there way to do that , you are both legends 👍

[@cpf55]

I am now a fan of Mr. Jimmy! Your playing is amazingly good! I am very impressed 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@bobyorke]

That was lovely to watch. Hats off to Jimmy Page for being a great guy

[@redmartian]

One of the things Jimmy Page would do in Tokyo in particular was to go the record shops to find bootlegs of live shows. Some shop keepers would hide the bootlegs thinking that he was angry, but actually he wants to find every archived live recording he can. Jimmy Sakurai is living many guitarist's dream of just *being* Jimmy Page. So cool!

[@MJEvermore853]

This is true! He loves collecting all the LZ boots. Somewhere online is a pic of him standing with the owner of the Empress Valley boot company. Jimmy loves this stuff and seems to have never been angry with those who are trading his old shows.

[@Topsrite]

Actually jimmy actively looked for boots in a lot of countries, including an enormous amount of time in the uk

[@totometa3596]

なにより、本人が、最後まで観ているというのがすごい。認めなければ有り得ない。必ず、見に行きます。

[@nieze]

Page really seemed to enjoy this. Freaking solid experience

[@user-wf5nw2yy9m]

あ〜なんて素敵なliveなんだー！jimmyを追求し続けた人、それをjimmyが見守る様に楽しんでいる。

[@marnew1000]

Fabulous…. I have been a Led Zeppelin fan for over 40 years, play guitar also only Jimmy Page material. Not to your standards of course but how amazing that must have been for Mr Jimmy when in walked Jimmy Page himself. Quite a night great show lovely to watch❤

[@neilyoung6510]

Jimmy Pageが普通にいるのすげぇ。

[@speedygonzales4707]

Love to see the respect, admiration and affection between these two men. Rock on!

[@eahannan]

What a gift for Jimmy...!!!

[@-Atmos1]

what an honour having Jimmy Page in the audience ... respect to Mr. Jimmy.

[@whiteanduptight]

i totally cant believe there is only this many views.. this band especially the Carbon copy of Jimmy page is so amazing and gives endless life the greatest rock&roll band of all time Led Zeppelin!!

[@bkrbyex4339]

THAT'S INCREDIBLE!!!

[@dathunderman4]

Damn that was actually sweet at the end when jimmy said “you’re my friend.” And you know he really liked the performance cuz he went out of his way to talk to him and the end, invited him his own event, and took his time to sign the cd and personalized it. He usually doesn’t do autographs, which is why he has one of the most expensive autographs in the world

[@bonzoleum]

That's terrific, Mr. Jimmy!!!

[@urbanaeclectica]

Jimmy looks like Terry Grandchester hahahaha

[@tiktokyt]

Amazing. Playing like Page is quite the accomplishment, but to embody his stage swagger is quite another thing.

[@guitarttimman]

Just think. Jimmy Page was the brains behind Led Zeppelin. He wrote all of that music. Wow! I still don't know how he came up with music like that. It's incredible. I think band sounds very good. That JIMMY guy is an amazing guitarist. I mean he just plays with so much passion.

[@troutmask9111]

Jimmy is so humble! I love him so much

[@carlosaroliveira5]

Mr. Jimmy for his love for music, hard work and dedication to art, deserved to have his master watching his performance. Great Responsibility! For JP it is a dignified homage that made him happy and honored !! And they have the same eyes oriental!

[@mitchelljones5041]

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing. 🎶

That’s because page adopted a bit of Japanese-ness lol

[@guitarttimman]

Remarkable isn't it?

[@sinjinadams2862]

I absolutely love this video! I've watched it many times. Jimmy Sakurai is amazing! What a thrill it must have been for him to meet his hero. Jimmy Page was obviously very impressed.

[@pu6stringindependentpickup506]

すごいね、夢ってかなうんだね

[@boogiemorgan]

You are the greatest Mr. Jimmy, the Master no less. I just thought I could play, untill I heard you play. Wow, you sir are the best!

[@raulsalgadofernandes4112]

Jimmy Sakurai es un genio....dedicó toda su vida al estudio de Jimmy Page con la disciplina que solo un verdadero Samurai es capaz de conseguir,eres grande muy grande y a mi me influencias mucho mas,gracias Sakurai.....muchas geacias

[@obbor4]

What a great story. I've seen both Jimmys play live. Mr. Page with The Firm, at the ARMS benefit for Ronnie Lane, in the 80s, and with Robert Plant on their first 'Unledded' tour, and Jimmy Sakurai with his former band, Led Zepagain. Having not seen Page during his youth, with Led Zeppelin, I feel like Jimmy Sakurai is about as close as one can get to the real thing. He is an amazing player and his attention detail, and the obvious reverence for the music that he displays makes each show special. The current version of Led Zepagain, with their new guitarist are still quite good and I've also enjoyed them on several occasions. While still a great Zeppelin show, with Jimmy S. they were unbeatable on the tribute band circuit. That Page has given 'Mr Jimmy' his seal of approval, in addition to the fact that he is currently playing lead guitar for Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience provides extra proof of his incredible prowess. If you ever get a chance to see him perform live, I'd strongly urge you to do so. He will absolutely blow your mind. Carry on with the great music, Mr. Jimmy!

[@bkrbyex4339]

Seen him in "Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening," open for peter Frampton this past summer in Chicago.

[@flushtheglobalists7962]

Officially JEALOUS! 👍👍👍

[@mikeonfreeserve2926]

Around 15 mins in is like the coolest graduation ceremony 😊😊

[@shaneschuller2513]

You are very talented for this legend to praise you 🙏

[@johnk-ht4yj]

I saw Zep back in MSG in 70's a few times.....then again with Page/Plant tour 94-95, Jimmy Sakurai has studied & captured the essence of JP live riffing, shredding & presence on stage. His uncanny sense of timing, eclectic style, spontaneous energy, stance, approach.....all mirror Jimmy's best live work. It is a worthy lifetime achievement. To meet & be evaluated by the master himself must be incredible honor.....for both men. long live JP....long live Jimmy Sakurai.

[@jeffreyholmes7216]

That is so cool! And he nailed it. Just incredible.

[@derrickforeal]

Would be crazy to be jimmy paige, sitting watching his younger self back in his prime years in 1973 40 years later in 2012. Crazy experience but such an honor to see that you impacted people so much some dedicate their entire life to become what you were.

[@wendysw714]

Sooo coool! Mr Jimmy rocks! 👍👏❤️

[@MasterYota1]

You worked hard to be as good as you are . Now you are blessed to be in the presence of the master. I tried but failed ,but you my friend did it!

[@THEDAILYRIFF]

The tone on their version of Rock n Roll during the closing credits is absolutely spot on!!!

[@annstein5876]

So lucky, to be near the master himself

[@LANDSEAAIRCANADA]

Magic ! Page was impressed by MR. Jimmy Thanks for this most excellent video

[@davidstovall8573]

I agree with you Michael. I'm 63 now and been a Page and Zep fan since I first heard them. When I was 12 my cousin played Heartbreaker and Livin' Lovin" Maid and I haven't looked back. I love all the guitar greats but something about Jimmy seems to put him a head above the rest, even Hendrix, SRV, and Clapton. Btw, I saw Clapton in 1978 in Portland, OR. Cost me $8.50, lol. I've been playing or I should say playing with a guitar since I was 5. I have 9. I can play Stairway from beginning to end but it sounds nothing like Jimmy, lol. This guy is great. Can you imagine playing Zep songs in a small venue with Jimmy watching you. Wow!!! Nuff said.

[@ts925yo]

I wish you could see this whole performance
