1963:

The British guitarist Micky Waller (1947-2013) went under the stage name of Mickey Finn so as to not be confused with the drummer of the same name (percussionist later for T Rex). Jimmy Page was a session guitarist for Finn for a while, and years later Waller himself became a session man in France.

1970:
"We're Gonna Groove was the usual set opener the first half of 1970 but Communication Breakdown is the opener here. It sounds like Page wanted to loosen his fingers and somehow wandered into the Communication Breakdown riff and the band just followed along. It rocks!"
