On This Day 09 April

1969 09 April On This Day Led Zeppelin, Tolworth England at the Toby Jug
  • 1968 The Yardbirds - Miami Beach FL at Thee Image Club (day 2 of 3)
  • 1969 Led Zeppelin - Tolworth England @ Toby Jug
  • 1970 Led Zeppelin - Tampa FL at Curtis Hixon Hall
  • 1977 Led Zeppelin - Chicago IL at Chicago Stadium (day 3 of 4)
  • 1995 Page & Plant Unledded Tour - Boston MA at Boston Gardens
1970:
Check out how Jimmy Page handles Becks Bolero at approximately 7:00 in the How Many More Times medley in Tampa. What an extraordinary show that was.

1977:
Day three of Chicago, after a break due to the hockey game at the Chicago Stadium, and this night's show was cut short because our Mr. Page was sick with probable food poisoning.  "If I hadn't sat down I would have fallen over," he said. Various accounts have Jimmy Page swaying, dropping his pick, collapsing onto the drum riser or into a chair that a roadie had brought out for him, throwing up, and/or passing out. No wonder he looked so grumpy in the photos.

The show was to be rescheduled for August, with a promise by Jimmy Page published the next day in Circus to do an "all-request show", but it was not to be.

On This Day 10 March

Please Mr. Page: let it be instrumental, let it be all you!
1967 10 March On This Day Jeff Beck released Hi Ho Silver Lining & Beck's Bolero
AUDIO: Beck's Bolero

  • 1968 The Yardbirds - Paris at L'Olympia Music Hall and at a private party for the head of Barclay Records, Eddie Barclay
  • 1970 Led Zeppelin - Hamburg, Germany at Hamburg Musikhalle
  • 1971 Led Zeppelin - Canterbury, England at Rutherford College
  • 1975 Led Zeppelin - San Diego, CA at San Diego Sports Arena
  • 1981 Jimmy Page with Jeff Beck - London, at Hammersmith Odeon, encore
  • 1985 The Firm - Denver, CO at McNichols Sports Arena
  • 1995 Page & Plant - New Orleans, LA at U.N.O. Lakefront Arena

1967:
I've always wanted to hear a version of Beck's Bolero that was Jimmy Page solely. I think he could put even more majesty into a work that is already majestic. Jimmy Page wrote the piece for Jeff Beck's first solo release and no doubt Mr. Page meant it to showcase what Jeff Beck could do, but we know who could do better because we've heard Mr. Page play snippets of it here and there over the years. The 1967 recording includes John Paul Jones on bass.

1981:

On this day Jimmy Page stepped onstage with a guitar for the first time since John Bonham's death to join his friend, Jeff Beck, in an encore number at Beck's show at the Hammersmith Odeon. If there is a recording of the song he played, I'm Going Down, I haven't come across it, but someone must have recorded it and I wanna hear it!
