"Becoming Led Zeppelin" OFFICIAL documentary coming in 2025

[Quadmon]

First LZ album was a great surprise. Loved it! Then I went to an LZ concert and was disappointed to say the least. Joe Walsh was the better guitarist that night and the James Gang was the better band-by a long shot!
So a year or so later I went to see LZ again and was even more disappointed and received affirmation that they (imo) were not really that good. After I had seen them twice I was no longer a fan.
Imo Jimmy Page does not live up to his reputation. Some of the sloppiest playing I have ever seen.
You gotta walk the walk. I’ve seen many bands that could do that. LZ was not one of them.

I’ve only seen LZ live once and I was not disappointed. I did, however, see them before owning the first album(they were an opening act at the time). I have never seen the James Gang in concert but I agree that they seriously rock (and that Joe Walsh is killer on guitar). There is a tiny bit of irony in your post given that Joe sold Jimmy his Les Paul.

Jimmy is well known for being a sloppy player when performing live.
