But, listen to any Zeppelin song and it is plain they are all driven by Jones' bass or organ, not Page's guitar. I (And, he did all the arrangements) In fact, when Page was in his heavy heroin days, his playing became very sloppy. Yet, Jones is the least recognized of the band.
Damn also saw them in 77, and i agree 100% with you JPJ was the force behind Led Zeppelin. Funny I also feel Queen's John Deacon was also the hidden weapon of the band.
