Matteo, were you responding to me or to Chinaski? :-) Aside from everything, I believe these are the usual discussions we inevitably get stuck in when touching on these issues. Because obviously, it all comes down to personal taste, and as Chinaski said (but is it from Bukowski's book?), there is no absolute truth. For example, in my opinion, when we talk about "elevating the blues to unimaginable levels," Page took a step further than Clapton (Crossroads vs Heartbreaker or Since I've Been Lovin' You). As for Blackmore: can you give me some examples according to you? Otherwise, we remain in the "it's just so." The fact that he may not have expressed the best of himself in improvisation is something you believe: are there precise parameters to evaluate whether an improvisation is "beautiful" or "ugly"? To conclude, the varied series of riffs he created ("Immigrant Song," "The Ocean," "Whole Lotta Love," "Ramble On") should be enough to rival Blackmore.

I agree with white68, you can also hear the macca shouting at little richard in Oh Darling.

I haven't heard this, but Live/Dead is undoubtedly spacey. SENZASTILE: in my opinion, you can comfortably start with Live/Dead, which I believe is the one that comes closest to certain sounds of Hawkwind, even though the time distance is always felt.

I give myself a solid one for not having said the most important thing, which is that this is the debut album after several singles. Long Tall Sally was also covered by the Beatles; that version is also a blast.

ah ah Matteo, you’ve stepped into a minefield! Good for you, at least for the "courage." However, even though I'm a huge fan of Page, I think you’re generally right; but the whole copying/not copying discussion, in my opinion, doesn’t really apply, because blues has always been "copied" over the years. In the end, it’s just three chords, right? His merit was obviously in finding a personal path that allowed him to express himself, clearly drawing heavily from the work of others as well. But you know, years before, there were Clapton, Green, Richards, and many others. They surely copied too, but evidently, no one added that touch that only Page had. PS great review.

carlocimmino!! long time no see, what happened to you? I'm waiting for some reviews/stories of your...

rather immature this, in my opinion.
