My dad followed Led Zeppelin on a tour of the US when his merchant navy ship stopped in the US for 4 months, he said at least 1 of the nights, Jimmy Page was stumbling around on stage drunk/high and once fell off the stage, but never once missed a single note.
Busted the ring finger on his left hand just before the tour. That’s the finger you use most to bend notes, so he was getting ready to play through the pain. Not that it’s the best way, but that’s what he used.
If there’s one thing I’ll never understand about these Rock n Roll icons, it’s how they managed to tour and perform while doing absolutely monstrous amounts of drugs.
Lemmy Kilmister (RIP) drank so much whiskey that his daily consumption would send me spiraling down a lifelong hangover and cut said life by half, too.
Indianapolis has that same effect on a lot of people.

I read somewhere that in that shot he was drinking tea actually; a Peter Grant stunt shot.
True? Who knows….
I think I see Artie Fufkin in the back. And NIgel better be happy with the fruit basket.
How did he play guitar so well off his face?!
Something tells me that show was rough
What a life.
This might sound dumb but trying that once is on my bucket list. I was quite good at drinking JD from the bottle for a while.
Guitar god I wish I could have seen him live. Even sloppy as shit I bet he was amazing.
