Three generations of rock guitarists come together for It Might Get Loud, a 2009 documentary directed by Davis Guggenheim. These are not just your garden-variety guitar gods: Jimmy Page, in his mid-’60s at the time of the film, founded Led Zeppelin, who dominated the 1970s following the breakup of the Beatles. As a member of U2, 48-year-old David Evans, better known as the Edge, created one of the most distinctive and influential sounds of the past quarter century. And 34-year-old Jack White was described by one music publication as “the most significant rock ‘n’ roll figure of the past ten years.” Guggenheim, who followed the three around for the better part of a year, takes us into their individual lives, past and present. There are shots of Page as a young London session musician, with the Yardbirds and Zeppelin, at Headley Grange (the estate where much of the fourth Zep album was made), and at home with his record collection. The Edge takes us to the Dublin classroom where U2 first rehearsed, as well as to the practice room he uses now; and White, whose insistence on authenticity is admirable but perhaps a tad self-conscious, constructs a “guitar” from a plank of wood, a piece of wire, and a Coke bottle. The three also converge on a Hollywood sound stage, where they chat and a do a little jamming on Zep’s “In My Time of Dying” (with all three playing slide guitar) and the Band’s “The Weight.”

Musicians’ loss is often fans’ gains. Divorce has given us some of the best music of the twentieth century, touring is a monstrous hardship that gives us live music; sometimes managers run off with an artist’s nest egg, forcing the artists out of retirement to become financially solvent. The latter happened to Leonard Cohen, and it forced the 73-year-old Canadian bard to embark on his first tour in over a decade. In 2008 most of his dates were confined to Europe, and 2009 saw him hit American shores, bringing his unique blend of music and poetry. The Live in London DVD is taken from a show on July 17th at London’s O2 arena.
