ABSOLUTELY THE MOST AMAZING PERFORMANCE EVER....Bonham's son on drums....watch Jimmy Page mouth the phrase "Very, Very Good" at 3:58 in response to the studio session guitarist's rendition of Page's iconic solo.
The well dressed man with the Gibson Les Paul is none other than studio guitarist extraordinaire Shane Fontayne...
You might not recognize the name Shane Fontayne – whom some of us know by his real name Mike Barakan – but chances are, you have heard Shane’s playing or seen him perform live.
As a guitar player, Shane has shared the stage and studio with an impressive list of rock music’s elite, including Bruce Springsteen, U2, Paul Simon, Shania Twain, Bryan Adams, and Rod Stewart.
Most recently, Shane was invited to accompany Bono, The Edge, Elvis Costello, Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow, Mary J. Blige, Patti LaBelle and B.B. King with Wynonna at the pre-Grammy Music Cares event in New York honoring Bono as “Person of the Year.”
Here is Shane caught mid-solo during the Led Zeppelin Tribute Event held at Kennedy Center posted above. Jason Bonham is in the background wearing the derby hat:
