Jimmy Page, Black Crowes Jimmy Page Black Crowes/London, UK 1999 Rehearsals

This work contains a precious record of the first meeting of the short-lived unit. Although, in 1995, Page made a surprise appearance on the Crowes’ stage in Paris, so this was not the first time in the strict sense. However, this video captures the meeting and rehearsal of the unit that acts together. However, the video is not the entire version, but about 42 minutes long. However, the content is not exactly the same, with some parts being longer and some shorter, so this is also very valuable as a record. However, the quality is a little soft, as it seems to be a home video shot by a staff member. However, the content is valuable and dense. Page and THE BLACK CROWES are crammed into a small studio where they can barely move a few steps, and the staff are wandering around. The backstage feeling is irresistible. The members of THE BLACK CROWES are earnest as they give their all to the masterpieces they grew up listening to, and Page’s performance, which sounds like he is lecturing on the songs, is very passionate. The feeling that “This combination is great!” could be felt just from the sound, but it becomes even more persuasive when accompanied by the sight. Whether they are moved by the preciousness or trying to use it for promotion, the mood of the flash of the snapshots is super realistic. Furthermore, it is actually the sound that enhances the feeling of being present at such a backstage. The sound of this work is not a sound board, but a microphone recording of the shooting camera. This work is perfect because it is a spatial recording. Another point is that Paige’s guitar sounds louder than the sound board. You can clearly hear the phrases that get hotter and hotter with the action that goes on. Paige’s gestures that play a little between eye contact, the sight of whispering in your ear, Chris Robinson’s expression that is immersed, and the mood of the tension relaxing with the response of the performance. The temperature and smell flowing at such a scene can only be experienced through the video. Nomis Studios, London, UK 25th June 1999 1. In My Time Of Dying 2. In My Time Of Dying 3.
