At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on November 3rd, 2023, The former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page performs 2023 Inductee Link Wray’s rock instrumental cover of “Rumble”. The live performances were held at the Barclays Center in New York. Billboard: Jimmy Page – one of the best and most influential guitarists of all time – made an unannounced appearance at the Rock Hall to induct the late Link Wray. Page appeared in a video montage about the power chord pioneer, calling Wray his “hero” and saying, “If ever there was a guitarist who deserved this, it was Link Wray.” But when the lights came up and the Led Zeppelin legend was on stage in the flesh, the crowd went crazy. Busting into “Rumble,” Wray’s iconic instrumental, Page looked happy as hell playing a song he’s loved his whole life on a double-necked guitar. And the crowd ate up every moment, with Elton John blowing him a kiss as he took the stage to induct Bernie Taupin.
One of a couple tribute performances from this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Jimmy Page appeared as an unannounced surprise guest to chug through Link Wray’s instrumental distortion-fest. He even brought the double-necked guitar, just to make it extra epic (given he only uses the one neck).
