Jimmy Page. I saw him playing guitar with the Yardbirds and Jeff Beck in 1966. They both played lead guitar only a few months in that band. I was lucky to see the last show Jeff Beck played with that band.

JP was such a great composer, session player and musician.

But this? Sad. I presume he can still play and just wanted to do the tune. High School out of tune garage band stuff. No matter. He has nothing left to prove. He has basically been retired since LZ broke up in 1980.

Well, Page sure liked Wray. Here he is thoroughly enjoying the 45 of Rumble in his listening room:

*******************
Page, Beck, and Clapton were all with the band for over a year. Clapton and Page, around two years. The shortest stint was Beck’s. Page originally played bass with the band.
