Beckham isn't fit to pull on an England shirt and mopes about in LA all day. Why was he there? Ah, I know. ££££££££££££££

Ha. What a load. What I say or think about China means NOTHING. So why the fuss?
What you seem to be saying here is that since you don't take your own opinion seriously, no one else should. Have I got that right? Assuming so, this begs the question, why bother to profer it in the first place? Just curious.

Would have been better if the audio matched the video! grinning smiley

Nice and solid riffing from Jimmy Page. One of those goose bumps moments for sure.

If Led Zeppelin would only hit the road with a full scale world tour asap.

Come on Robert Plant and make this dream come true!

Well, here is the latest rumour for you:

Even though the song choice was not the best, it was fun to see Jimmy do his thing. I reckon he knows that Zeppelin was the zenith of his carrer and he has earned the right to do what he wants. Still, Mick Jones playing 'London calling" would have been a better choice.

Well The Rolling Stones aren't closing the Olympics now are they? They would never do something so lame as that.

It sure seemed to me that he was not playing, it was a tape. Pretty sad.

You can say the Stones played the Superbowl and it it is not as big as the
Olympics. But, atleast they played music.

After another viewing...it's obvious that it was taped

Well, there is nothing new there really. Bands were lip synching over tapped accompaniment on TV 40 years ago. Still, like you I would have preferred it live, warts and all.

I thougt the whole 8 minute presentation with Page,Beckham etc was all pretty naff!! Jimmy Page's supposedly live playing didn't seem to match up to the music at times from where I was sitting!! I thought as soon as they finished all the Beijing stuff and the BBC handed over to London, the cast of 'We will rock you 'belting out a couple of great Queen numbers outside Buckingham Palace was far better.

His head just had a weird shape. It looked funny.

It appears as though YouTube has banned any videos of Jimmy Pages performance. Maybe JumpingKent was right about Jimmy's head resembling a large wart......we'll never know.

In a way, right, my 'China sucks' comment was just a silly toss off. So my sense of humour is a bit odd - I've seen much worse. And I really don't know how I would gain anything from it anyway.

Lighten up! Have a beer and eat some popcorn - with some Tony's!

I'd rather listen to Jimmy play than Allison Krauss sing...But that's just me.

I'm glad I'm not only one who thought the playing was taped. Jimmy (who now is bearing a passing resemblance to the guy on my oatmeal bag) had his hand in the air at one point while the riff was still playing.

Yeah it's almost impossible to find any clips of from the Olympics on YouTube. Either NBC or the Olympic people are incredibly strict.

I LOVE JIMMY, AND I WAS PLEASED TO SEE HIM AT THE CLOSING LAST SUNDAY.
I THINK THEY COOSE HIM FOR HIS FACE .... THAT'S ALMOST CHINESE !
ANYWAY, IT'S REALLY "CURIOUS" FACT HE WAS THE CHOICE TO PRESENT LONDON MUSICALLY, DESPITE MANY OTHERS WHO DON'T NEED TO CHANGE WORDS IN THEIR SONGS !
JIMMY SOMMERVILLE - for example eye popping smiley
GARY GLITTER - confused smiley
BOOMTOWN RATS - THAT SORT OF THING I MEAN grinning smiley

He looked like a clean-shaven Jon Lord. Maybe they can go on tour as the Silver Foxes.

Coincidentally, that guy on your oatmeal bag is the work of one Keith Retched of the cover band known as the Rollin' Stoned!

Note to black limo. Your cap lock button seems to be stuck. My wife made the same observation that you did in that Jimmy's face does appear to have an orinental caste to it these days. Still, he is Jimmy Page no matter what he looks like and his legacy can't be denied.

I wouldnt have minded seeing the Stones and Leona lewis doing Gimme Shelter?..on the Bus.
Maybe they didnt want the applause for the stones to overshadow Becks 3 seconds of glory..

Mind you, as there was a bus, im worried it will also feature again at the opening ceremony in 2012 with Cliff jumping off singing summer holiday...bahhh
