BBC live studio session, June 22, 1969. Jimmy Page was transitioning from a Supro and Fender amps to Marshall Plexi amps in 1969. For this BBC session, evidence and era suggest a Marshall Super Bass or Super Lead Plexi head. Studio, not live concert. No evidence of Les Paul on this track; Telecaster confirmed for early Zeppelin BBC sessions.
