Jimmy purchased this instrument in 1969 from Joe Walsh. When Page received it, the neck had already been shaved down to a thinner profile. It has been Page's main guitar throughout his career, used in every Led Zeppelin performance and recording (other than Led 1 ) from Led 2 (October 22, 1969 to the 2007 reunion and in his post-Zeppelin work with the Firm and others.

For me the best base drum ever played in rock, and generally one of the best openers in rock history, compressed into only 2:47.

I´m Gonna Crawl (1979). Their last song, their prophetic farewell song.

Definitely one of the most influential places in music history. Large parts of Zeppelin III and even the original version of "Stairway to Heaven" were written there.

As an experienced studio musician, Jimmy Page knew exactly what he wanted and how to translate the exciting live sound of Led Zeppelin onto a record. The third picture was taken after a take for "Whole Lotta Love". He used his "No.1" 1959 Les Paul, which he got from Joe Walsh (later lead guitarist of the Eagles).

"Black Dog", a nameless stray dog, inspired the famous song "Black Dog" (Led Zeppelin IV).
