Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page Shares Special ‘On This Day’ Story on Instagram

Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has shared a new story and little-seen photo on his Instagram page.

He remembered the time when he was playing with Mickey Finn on this day in 1963. Jimmy wrote:

“I played on the song Night Comes Down previously with guitarist / singer-songwriter Jon Mark at IBC Studio, with Glyn Johns recording and probably Shel Talmy producing.

I don’t think Jon Mark’s version ever came out, but it was really good. He later was to tour as the guitarist for Marianne Faithfull and went on to form The Mark-Almond Band with saxophonist Johnny Almond.”⠀⠀

Also wrote:

“#OnThisDay in 1963, Mickey Finn released This Sporting Life / Night Comes Down.”

#OnThisDay in 1963, Mickey Finn released This Sporting Life / Night Comes Down. ⠀⠀ I played on the song Night Comes Down previously with guitarist / singer-songwriter Jon Mark at IBC Studio, with Glyn Johns recording and probably Shel Talmy producing. I don't think Jon Mark's version ever came out, but it was really good. He later was to tour as the guitarist for Marianne Faithfull and went on to form The Mark-Almond Band with saxophonist Johnny Almond. ⠀⠀ I played on this re-make with Mickey Finn and the flip-side was This Sporting Life. ⠀⠀ 📸 by Dezo Hoffmann
