“Jimmy Page is an excellent producer. Led Zeppelin and Led Zeppelin II are classics. As a player, he’s very good in the studio. But I never saw him play well live. He’s very sloppy. He plays like he’s got a broken hand and he’s two years old. But if you put out a good album and play like a two-year-old live, what’s the purpose?”

*My opinion: Jimmy Page is one of the greatest guitarists ever. Yes-his live Led Zeppelin shows were sloppy a lot of the times (at least the ones I’ve watched), but his artistry and innovation cannot be denied.

Everything I've heard from Jimmy Page live has been fantastic, but you know, it's not like they officially release the bad stuff.
But I'd also say that he is the only guitar player in the band, and obviously you can do a lot more stuff in the studio than live, so a lot of the Zeppelin studio guitar parts aren't even feasible live with one guitar player. But everything I've heard tells me he did a damn good job trying.
