Soren, I think you and I are on the same page about the musical talent portion here. Zepp was interesting cause some people criticize Page for not playing that well. Technically his playing wasn't that reproducible. Like he didn't always play all the licks spot on every time. But hey, who says you have to?!? Problem is, most concert goers want to hear THE song THE SAME way it is on the album. You'll never hear that at a blues show... And thats why they didn't do it the same every time. Personally I love alternate takes on songs. One reason why I'll watch any "unplugged" concert, even bands I don't normally like. Puts their music in perspective, ya know?



I agree.

I would add that the stuff Page wrote was amazing, if one looks through the whole repertoire (and not only the popular stuff).

I also think their live performances were tops (check out the Song Remains The Same movie) - well coordinated musicians too ... technically speaking.
