guitarshed Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I'd have to say Since I've Been Loving You on TSRTS would have to be my favorite. Tea for One and Ten Years gone would probably be my next two. The raw emotion and passion in the Since I've Been Loving You solo just puts it at the top.

THUNDERZEP Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Tea For One is pretty damn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magerogue Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with the TSRTS Since I've Been Loving You version of the song. It's flawless from the beggining to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingzoso Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Jimmy Page's Best Solo was when He got the the Four of Them together in that small room in Gerard Street in 1968 and They played "Train Kept A 'Rollin" and "As Long as I Have You". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huw Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 For studio work I'd pick Tea For One, Achiles' Last Stand, Stairway (I'll take the studio solo over any live one YMMV), For Your Life, etc etc Live, there are just too many to choose from...

wrong-note-rod Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (snip) However, my absolute favorite Jimmy solo will always be the "Stairway" solo from TSRTS. That solo is hands down the best guitar solo I have ever heard. You realize thats quite possibly not from one solo, but possibly cut together from three solos played over three nights?

Melcórë Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 You realize thats quite possibly not from one solo, but possibly cut together from three solos played over three nights? Eddie Edwards will educate you! The original film and album feature the solo untouched from the 27th July concert; the 2007 remix features the same solo, albeit retooled by Kevin Shirley. Details in the link. OP: While perhaps not his "best" solo, I think my favourite is from 27th June, 1972, as featured on How the West Was Won.

Paul Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Studio-- a personal favorite of mine is Nobody's Fault But Mine Live-- I dunno, there are so many outstanding ones with Zep. Probably Heartbreaker, when i saw him with Plant in '98 in St. Louis. I saw several other shows, but that night he nailed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I am curious of your opinions on Jimmy Page's best solo(s).28.07.73 No Quarter for sure. It's not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I Can't Quit You from Albert Hall. I know I'm going to get shit from this but the Seattle 1977 solo from Stairway actually isn't terrible either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Huh? The Stairway solo from Seattle is incredible. Actually, the entire Seattle performance is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfilm Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Seattle is an overlooked performance in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I agree. I think this is the high point of the performance: Go the the 5-minute mark. Eddie Van Halen swiped "Cathedral" from this solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Many people rubbish Seattle because of the video and audio quality isn't up to par. The performance isn't even bad compared to some of the crappy 77 shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSH1127 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I don't want to jump on the bandwagon of '77 bashers, but I had some time to kill this weekend and watched a few performances on youtube of Seattle and they are embarrassing. I'm by far no aficionado of all '77 boots, but everything I've heard from that era is pretty damn bad to these ears. I've heard the argument that visually it was stunning and IMO some of the coolest live photos I've seen attest to that, but I'll take great, tight live music over satin suits and cool poses any day of the week. In my humble opinion they were a wreck. Also, my wife came in while I was listening to/watching one the videos and actually started laughing( and she's a zep fan). Many people rubbish Seattle because of the video and audio quality isn't up to par. The performance isn't even bad compared to some of the crappy 77 shows.

wrong-note-rod Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I wasnt there, but I wonder if the drugs were causing certain led zeppelin members to um, "under perform" onstage in 1977... compared to what they were capable of just a few years earlier. I've heard all kinds of horror stories. But every performance I've ever listened to all bootleg, is just erratic. One number will sound fantastic and then the next one is riddled with errors or something from Page which um wasnt exactly his best work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayougal65 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 My 2 favorites at the moment, (because as with all things Zep my favorites change when I fall upon a different version that I might not have caught the nuances of before!) Thank You from the BBC always gives me chills and I have to crank it up! And SIBLY from the 2007 o2 Shepperton rehearsal is pure Jimmy-genius! Peace!
