Recommended Posts

What might Mr. Page say?

My mate Jeff Beck.

Girlfriends

Hot Rods

Throwing him out of the Yardbirds

The connection to Led Zeppelin

Wishing to play with him more

Hello, uh, hi. My name is Jimmy Page (huge applause ... Page extremely embarrassed to be getting a bigger round of applause than Jeff Beck). Um, (rubs nose), I'm here to induct a person of in-cred-ible musicianship (open arms wide), I mean, really heavy, man!! (cheers and clapping). Um, Jeff had remarkable foresight to stay off the harsh stimulants unlike a few of us here (laughter), mainly staying with beer and motor oil (more laughter) so, his guitar playing is as tight today as it was in 1972. Seriously. He's managed to keep the same hairstyle since 1965 -- and same color!! (huge guffaws). But, anyway, you don't want to hear me talk, you want to hear music. It is my pleasure and honor to introduce to you my good mate from Wallington, Mr. Geoffrey Arnold Beck!!!
