Great mix. Kind of mindblowing he played on so much stuff I never expected ("Downtown", "Is It True", It's Not Unusual", etc etc). Wow!

Page isn’t on “I Can’t Explain” (because Townshend wouldn’t let Page use his 12-string), but he is on the b-side, “Bald Headed Woman” (because Page wouldn’t let Townshend use his fuzz box).

hey hadrian, maybe you could post this someplace? mixcloud or soundcloud? some obscure bootleg site?

Listen during the guitar solos — there’s no rhythm guitar under them. There’s (faint) piano, but the only guitar on the song is Townshend’s.

ahh yes ok...I guess this is how that story came to be:

In a May 1974 interview with Creem, Jimmy Page recalled playing rhythm guitar on the song as a session guitarist[4]. This was confirmed by Pete Townshend and producer Shel Talmy.[5] According to those working on the recordings, however, Page's contribution did not make the final cut.

Live show from 1988 sounds a lot better than I expected

Had no idea he was a session musician of sorts.

Here’s everything he played on:

Just found out he played on Vashti Bunyan’s 1965 album too

I don't know if it qualifies as his "work", but Page wrote the riff that Bowie turned into "The Supermen".

Can we be shown weirdos + Jimmy Page?
