2023
Last night Jimmy Page stole the show at the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony! JP inducted Link Wray via video and got a nice applause from an audience that mostly weren't sure who Link Wray was and that also didn't know JP was standing in the dark on the stage holding his doubleneck.

When Jimmy Page began to play, a guy in the audience "Doubleneck!! Doubleneck!!"  The audience came to its feet at the first notes and stood through the whole song. 

As they should.

Elton John blew Jimmy a kiss.
