  1. I recommend... The Avett Brothers and Old Crow Medicine Show I can't believe they haven't been recommended yet.
  2. Ah... as for speaking chinese, I only know what I learned from my college foreign language classes, haha. I'm a bit... uh... white washed (one of the reasons my parents insisted I came back to China this summer, I was going to stay and do an internship...)
  3. Thats awesome, this is my third time in China (but the last time I went was 10 years ago), I like it too! Its so different from the states, yet even being chinese, I still stick out like a sore thumb here.
  4. Its Tiananmen, I'm on vacation in China right now
  5. Learn the major/minor pentatonic scales in all positions on the fret board and you can play 95% of Page's solos.
  6. If you want to know more about the recordings, send me a pm.
  7. Page broke his ring finger in 1975 right before the US tour started, and his playing suffered the first stretch of the tour, and they had to redo the set list to adjust (thus Dazed and Confused was replaced with How Many More Times and they added When the Levee Breaks as well). That being said, his playing in general was not as fluid as it was in 1973 (the Europe tour prior the US tour probably had some of Page's best playing imo) but near the end of the 1975 tour, it wasn't bad at all. Remember that the DVD only shows a few songs from the 5 night stand at Earl's Court. I'm particularly fond of the Earl's Court concerts, TSRTS, D+C, and Stairway to Heaven from May 24th are the best live versions I've personally heard. Over the Hills and Far Away also featured some great guitar work. As for whats actually on the DVD, the acoustic set is played fabulously imo, and Trampled Underfoot is as well. As for Stairway, I was actually really surprised when the DVD was released that Page chose the version from May 25th, the solo was cut short because Page broke his B-string mid solo, and the performance was a bit uninspired as well. The version from the previous night was far superior. I suggest you try and find a copy of "Evoluzione" and "When we Were Kings"/"Conquistador" (shouldn't be too hard, there are pretty common in trading communities) to really hear what the Earl's Court concerts were like. Remember, these were 3 hour long concerts, you can't just characterize them based on a few songs.
  8. Haha, I was in the Bahamas, those are my boating glasses!
