TypeO Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Includes Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. Funny how they seem to have to find a place to fit in - Page fills the stage. It's prolly been posted before, but I enjoyed it. Random thought - there should be a Youtube /video section (unless I've missed it), or at least a sticky thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93ubRaUm2J0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I've seen a small part of the ARMS concert, and find it painful to watch. Jimmy's quoted as saying: "Yeah, I saw the Arms footage - that was when I knew my life needed to change." Thank goodness it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeydripper Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Yep, pretty tough to watch. I have a couple complete vids from the ARMS tour. Page, IIRC was just on the brink of cleaning himself up....and as you can clearly see, he needed it in a bad way. Jeff was my personal highlight of this limited "tour"....which was a multiple sclerosis benefit for personal friend and musical collegue Ronnie Lane.....bassist/vocalist extrodinaire from the band The Faces.

Trashbag Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Jimmy was in really bad shape and you can see and hear it through his playing and his appearance. Kinda weird to see him so skinny in 1983-4, then to see him fatten up in 1985 at Live Aid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find the exact quote, but Jimmy supposedly started "The Firm" to dispel rumors that he was just another drug addicted rock star. For someone who's admittedly a pefectionist, watching himself at ARMS must have been a shock and an eyeopener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
