It is with deep regret that I feel obliged to announce that rumors of a rare joke by Jimmy Page appear to be unfounded.
Page’s only joke was reported to have been made to his beloved Robert during, naturally, a guitar tuning related situation. It appears that although Robert did attempt to elicit the audiences support for Jimmy’s technical hitch, Jimmy was nothing but grateful.
okokok the transcripts: [of four known bootlegs (edit: considered to present the whole show) two recorded Robert and none, sadly, record the burn]
“I think as you realize the difficulty of, uh, of having to retune to another tuning when there’s 18,000 people breathing hot breath. And the strings seem to go all over the place, and so do I. Hah, Hah. Everything’s cool”
Can you read that? anyway go to www.rambleonzep.com and you can check them all out yourself…
ps I did not know he called Page ‘Jeanette’ - interesting.
@firethatgrewsolow it’s a sad day for me *blubbers* The only one.
