1974:
I can't get the Soundcloud link to work for Midnight Moonlight, so didn't provide it here. There are many videos out there that purport to be parts of Jimmy Page's Swan Song. Some of them sound like the real thing but none I've come across have any authentication. If you have a link to something we can trust as really real, or a working Soundcloud link, please share!

The final version of In The Light on Physical Graffiti, was a big improvement over the version of Everybody Makes It Through (link below). But that's what practice, multiple takes, editing of lyrics, overlaying tracks, mixing, and engineering are all about.

1997:
Jimmy Page was on the guest list for the Paul Rodgers show at London's Forum (as was Robert Plant and former Bad Company bassist Boz Burrell), but there doesn't seem to be any evidence that he showed up on stage. If you know otherwise, please share your info!

1926 Silent Movie Based on Aleister Crowley

Reviewed at Dangerous Minds, the 1926 silent movie, The Magician, was adapted by Rex Ingram from the novel of that name written by W. Somerset Maugham. The main character, Haddo, was based on Aleister Crowley (1875-1947).

One sentence Mage Music review: The Magician is not the Star Wars of the silent movie era, but it has some historical value.

Crowley was not happy with the book. He filed an injunction against the French premier of the movie, holding out for publicity and power after being offered a settlement. Crowley lost.

Irish film director, producer, writer and actor Rex Ingram (1892-1950) made only one "talkie" but he was considered one of the top creative people of his day. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

German actor Paul Wegener as Oliver Haddo, portraying Aleister Crowley
Paul Wegener (1874-1948) was a German actor, writer and film director known for his pioneering role in German expressionist cinema. He started out as a law student, which may have prepared him for his acting career.

This was before Jimmy Page's time, of course.  Now back to your regular musical programming.
