The Rover Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) When I say perform, I mean as a lead guitarist, vs. some kind of rhythm guitar back-up, or, as a part of numerous other guitarists on a stage. This is not so much a "will Led Zeppelin reform" question, as it is will there ever be "An Evening with Jimmy Page," where he plays music from his career, solo, or with others. I have no longing for "a new album" or "New Music," as if that's going to be some kind of revelation. Jimmy has enough of a diverse and varied catalog to please himself and others by performing that, either with, or without vocal accompaniment.

For some perspective, here's a photo from 1987, showing a 43 year old Jimmy Page with Les Paul, who was 72 at the time. As you look at the photo, imagine an alternate universe where it's the 72 year old that people keep hoping will go tour the world nonstop, spending countless hours on buses and airplanes, living out of hotels, and jumping around a stage for three hour concerts every night, playing music at jet-engine levels of loudness, with the stamina to rip through fiery extended solos from songs written 50 years ago, featuring overtly sexualized lyrics aimed at teenagers.

chillumpuffer Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 This guy is only a month older than Page. Whilst I am not a fan at least he still plays and he was a smack head far longer than Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he is still with his original band, who share the heavy lifting with him. No different than the big productions by McCartney or the Who. They never stopped touring. Jimmy hasn't even done anything on the small scale the past 13 years. Even Les Paul held down a weekly gig at the Iridium club in New York for 15 years at that age.

Paimonus Rex Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) "The song is over...." In hindsight, it would seem that anything 'new' JPP offered from 1980 onward was met with a consistent 'meh' commercially and not all of the pieces of puzzle would ever fit uniformly or at the same time for him to actively ride a horse named, 'nostalgia' into the sunset.

Whilst I am not a fan at least he still plays and he was a smack head far longer than Page but he plays in a band with another guitar player, two keyboards, horns and backing singers, and doesn't play complex pieces. there's quite a difference. my opinion is that Keith has been hopeless fir decades and Ronnie does most the work anyway. make Keith play the gig on his own without all the add on players and then we'll see what he's capable of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandey Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) No. Despite his age it might be feasible (physically), but that requires dedication and a continous life as an active musician. Someone like that is John McLaughlin who' s one year older than Jimmy, and is still at it. Edited August 18, 2020 by Sandey Spelling, reformulation.
