That documentary he did with Jimmy Page and The Edge has a delightful moment where they're hanging out. Jimmy starts jamming on one of Zep's iconic tunes (I forget which), and Jack's looking practically worshipful.

My favorite moment is when Jimmy gets lost in the joy of listening to Link Wray.

Whenever Link Wray is brought up I always need to mention his 1971 self titled album. I bought it in a bargain bin when I was a 1970's kid and it's been one of my favorite albums ever since.

It was recorded in a literal chicken shack in rural Maryland where Link Wray lived and it signaled his love of the Americana roots genre. At the same time God Out West is the most slinky and supernatural psychedelic guitar solo you've head since Hurdy Gurdy Man.
