July 4 1985. Jimmy Page sits in with the Beach Boys during performances in both Philadelphia and Washington DC. Why? We’re not sure, but it’s pretty nuts. Maybe Jimmy – an Englishman of course – wanted revenge for the Boston Tea Party or something. He does do a pretty good job disrupting things when he solos and completely takes over during "Lucille".
Oddly enough it wasn’t the first time Jimmy had played with the Beach Boys. Bootleg’s exist of a performance at the Jamaica Music Festival, November 26th 1982.
Anyway, it’s good to see classic rock get a bit crazy sometimes. Enjoy. (And for a couple of hours of Page in more conventional settings, check out our I Like: Led Zeppelin playlist on Spotify.)
