Cookie0024 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I managed to speak to both men who performed "Rumble" with Jimmy Page last night. It turns out Jimmy was very exacting in wanting to recreate the sound of the original song on stage: https://ledzepnews.com/2023/11/04/exclusive-how-jimmy-page-created-a-faithful-recreation-of-rumble-for-the-rock-roll-hall-of-fame-induction-ceremony/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link Wray means so much to him, and Jimmy really rose to the occasion to deliver a fulsome tribute. It's been so long since Jimmy mesmerized a New York City audience, to see them all literally leap to their feet is a real testament to the enduring connection between them. Very well put Steve. There is just something about this guy. I have revered him since I was 13 years old….which was 7 years after Zeppelin folded. Awesome to see him playing. I will now learn to play this song today (my 70 year old guitar teacher is a drummer too, which is handy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstork Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Also cool to see the old moves and swagger return about half way through the song. Always had it and will never lose it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall when Jeff had two gigs at the Tokyo Dome City Hall in April 2014, he invited Jimmy to join him for an onstage jam either night but Jimmy flatly refused. A few years prior, at the 02 in London, Jeff invited Jimmy and Ronnie Wood to jam with him on what was Jeff's 65th birthday. Both declined and at that time, Jeff told Jimmy we was "chicken".

This duo, along with Jimmy, delivered a sonic tribute that is astonishingly faithful to the original recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy saying Wray was the essence of cool when we all consider Jimmy the same. I admit I've skimped on Link Wray's discography (especially shameful considering he was a local boy), but hopefully I change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 The best part of waking up, is Jimmy in my inbox! Thank you very kindly for posting this. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeplz71 Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 That double-neck weighs a ton. He's nearly 80 and held it like a boss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paganini Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Wow .and wow ! This is so good to see Jimmy giving it some with the double neck on stage again .Where have you been ?! Can really see the influence on songs like TSRTS, SIBLY & Stairway with the big ringing chords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 What a great way to start a Monday morning! So great to see Jimmy play live again...with the double neck...with such ATTITUDE! Hopefully, he continues to make this decision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookieblaylock Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I love the way he just appeared, without any rumours or forewarning (that I heard at least) and absolutely killed it. Especially when I assumed we wouldn't see him on stage again. Hopefully this lights a fire under him. Clearly still has chops and it'd be so great to see him playing live more regularly.

Strider Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) What a capper to the weekend! I was busy with a wedding and didn't have my ears tuned to any news at all last week. Not to mention the fact that I have given up on the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame ever having any relevance again. The fact that Eminem and Billy Joel got in before Link Wray, when Link should have been inducted in the very first class when he was still alive, no later than the second or third class at least, is a stain of shame the Hall will never erase. Props to Jimmy for such a loving and deeply-felt tribute and for breaking out that heavy Gibson EDS-1275! What a happy surprise!

The Dark Lord Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Absolutely wonderful. I’m so proud of Jimmy and his first class tribute to Link Wray. Let’s see if I’ve got this right……..Robert Plant sings Stairway to Heaven a few weeks ago, and Jimmy is found playing “Rumble” on stage not long after that? What is this world coming to!!??

I think Jimmy must have been very excited to see his girlfriend Ms. Scarlett Sabet, 46 years his junior, in front of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the performance, the audience cheered while Jimmy moved to a table in the audience, and presenter Elton John, who was next in charge of the proceedings, seemed to have a puzzled look on his face. Jimmy must have been very excited to see his girlfriend, Scarlett Seib, 46 years his junior, in front of him during the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
