On this day 23 August

 All in a day's work

  • 1966 The Yardbirds - Avalon, CA at Catalina Casino Ballroom
  • 1969 Led Zeppelin - Dania, Fl at Pirates' World

  • 2008 Jimmy Page with Leona Lewis - Beijing, China National Stadium, Olympic rehearsal
Jimmy Page's experience as a session man made him ready and able to perform under all kinds of circumstances: using borrowed equipment, dodging firecrackers, playing on a rotating stage or one that was being demolished by fans or while standing on a rising industrial scissors lift. Somehow I doubt he gave much thought to these sorts of things when he first laid hands on a guitar.
