Led Zeppelin- Presence 50th- Jimmy Page 3-31

With the recording and subsequent late March 1976 release of Presence, thus began a five year period when a series of tragedies befell Led Zeppelin, even while guitarist/composer/producer Jimmy Page, singer/ lyricist Robert Plant, bass/keyboard/composer John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham continued to record timeless hard rock. The recorded performances of “Achilles’ Last Stand”, “Nobody’s Fault but Mine”, and “For Your Life” from Presence were so realistic as to be almost palpable, about which the sonic slam amazes even now half a century later.

Led Zeppelin guitarist/composer/producer Jimmy Page joins me for a rare classic rock interview here In the Studio to recall the considerable challenges they faced making Presence  on its golden anniversary. -Redbeard
