Notice how busy Page is on guitar in this song. It's like he's playing three guitar parts at once. Live performances like this song are what prompted Keith Richards to tell Page he was the "most overworked guitarist in rock". Page responded that he would love to have another guitarist in the band but that it "just wouldn't look right to the audience". At first that statement struck me as a bit self-centered and vain but the more I thought about it it just showed how very perceptive Page was about the band's image.
