• 1965 Jimmy Page at Immediate Records
• 1966 Yardbirds - Ardwick, Manchester at ABC Theatre
• 1971 Led Zeppelin - Osaka, Japan at Festival Hall 

1965:

"Jimmy was like a wisp. I don't really know what kind of a person he was, because the great ones keep it hidden and metamorphose on us, so that the room works. But he auditioned people for me."

~ Andrew Loog Oldham (Autumn 2008)

1971:

Japan was good for Led Zeppelin. This show was particularly relaxed, with Robert Plant leading the audience in a sing-along (We Shall Overcome), roadie Clive Coulson sharing vocals, and once again Atlantic VP Phil Carson on bass for C'mon Everybody (freeing John Paul Jones for keyboard).

1965 21 May On This Day Jimmy Page session for Vashti Bunyan

1965 - Other tracks Jimmy Page played on during the week of May 21

Vashti Bunyan is a British singer-songwriter who in 1965 was under contract to Andrew Oldham (manager and producer of The Rolling Stones at that time).  Even having Jimmy Page on guitar didn't help her gain popularity back then.  Over thirty years later her debut 1970 album (which didn't include the song with Jimmy Page) garnered a cult following and Bunyan was able to renew her musical career.

Bunyan talks about recording  'Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind’ in a March 2001 interview 

"I was in heaven during the recording. This was especially so during the recording of my own song, hearing it arranged by David Whittaker and played by 'real' musicians. Nicky Hopkins and Big Jim Sullivan. Jimmy Page was a session musician then and was in there too."
