Celebration Day has worked me into a tizzy.
I
knew that watching/listening to the concert would rekindle some fires that were
long since extinguished. I even decided to get all the Led Zeppelin studio CDs,
instead of my four disc boxed set.
I
need it all.
As
with most bands, my favorite member is the lead guitarist. Jimmy Page is just a
phenomenal player, writer, and studio hand, but thinking back to his post
Zeppelin work left me somewhat unfulfilled. Plant's stuff has gotten all kinds
of attention, and the fact that he's
been far busier and harder working is not lost on me.
So,
I decided I was going to set the way-back machine to Jimmy Page. I'm going to
take a look back at four, at least, of his post Zeppelin efforts. I will not be
entertaining "No Quarter," "Live At the Greek," or anything
else I'm unaware of that's primarily Led Zeppelin revisited. I want to see
what the man has written since the day Zeppelin announced they were breaking
up.
