Love the scene where Page is spinning 45's and puts on Link Wray's Rumble...here is a guy I was in awe of as a performer and suddenly felt this connection that he was a music fan just like the rest of us. The way he just lit up - he could have been any one of my 15 yo buds spinning discs over to my folks house back in the day.
It Might Get Load - documentary
Last night at the local arts theatre I saw "It Might Get Load". Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White in a documentary together on the electric guitar from the point of view of these three significant rock music artists, directed by Davis Guggenheim and found it most enjoyable. I will not spoil the experience by giving a complete play by play, if you need that, go to the web for trailers.
Just to make a comment about something tangential to the point of this tread for a moment and I promise only a moment. I find it strange and somewhat condescending that here in the U.S. a review or trailer to a movie tends to completely give it away (the plot). Why not tantalize and offer a mystery and establish some desire and anticipation to experience more? So few things are a mystery these days.
We'll having said that, I won't let the cat out of the bag or anything yet, sufficed to say, it is what it sounds like and I'll just highly recommend it.
Happy Listening
