I know us old folks may not look like it but we had the greatest era of music from the 60s through the 80s. Live performances, NO autotune, no place to hide with these groups. Talent and superb musicianship. Nice to see the current generation discover what we knew all along. Kudos to you all for starting the journey.
Edit: I am astonished by the response to my comment. It's been very interesting to read what people of all ages/eras are saying. Good to know that great music and performers are still appreciated now and hope the next generations discover them too.
Amen
I agree, we had the best time.
Yup born in 57 and we had the Best looking Cars too!
We were free.
@@darylhoskins5696born 56, you bet we had a great time and didn't even know it!
Nothing is overrated about this group. They are musical gods
Funny but when I saw LZ in early 70's Robert Plant closed with Stairway- he looked like a God, I was enthralled.
Dont say that to Peter Townsend, lol
I totally agree brendasmith9429. This was my teen years. #1 group for over 50 years in my book. The 60s and 70s were the Filet Mignon of music variety and pure raw talent. We were so lucky.., this guy won't stop talking. So I am leaving.
amen
@@SA-gs2ib like who?
They plagerised? Oh my, I better go throw my zep albums out.
"First time ever I saw your face" by Roberta flack. She neither wrote it, nor was it written for her, it was written decades before she did it. Oh, I better throw that one out too.
I dont think there is a band in America that doesnt have some sort of lawsuit going on concerning copyright infringements. I use to go to concerts with Bobby Blotzer, drummer of "Rat" and he has lawsuits going on constantly regarding the name of the band and other copyright infringements.
Lawsuits in music is extrememly common.
When the Levee Breaks was written by Memphi Minnie in 1929, Zep re did it, so what?
Nobody that grew up with Led would say they were overrated Stairways to heaven is a masterpiece 🤷♀️🇨🇦💕
And their fourth album probably the best ever made.
Overrated? What a joke! Under appreciated more likely!!
And their worst favorite song, lol.
I believe it's still the biggest selling Song of all time.
@@jeffdarnell7942 Read they just were inducted into something in Europe, can't remember!! Anyone?
Jimmy Page didn't just play cause he knew how to, he played with his heart and soul in every note
Yes
Play It Loud one of my favorite bits of musical documentary and music lore
And he is absolutely top tier. Jimmy, Prince ,Hendrix, Beck...
There it is...
I loved watching him grinning ear to ear when Heart honored them at the Kennedy Center!🎸🎙🎶😁
I think the fact that this song is 50 years old and still kicks ass says it all!
52 years old. I was at a Zep concert in 1971 when they introduced it acoustically
@@waynerogers6621Legendary
Exactly! I wonder hwhat music produced today will still be widely listened to in 50 years
@@waynerogers6621I was only six in 1971, but I bet that was some concert! So cool. I've always been a Zeppelin fan.
@@LoriOnTheBrightside None!
Anyone who told you they are overrated didn't grow up listening to this band. They are one of the GREATEST bands to ever grace this earth.
Surely you mean "THE" ?
So true.
@@francishughes542absolutely THE GREATEST band EVER. I have no idea who else he/she had in mind when they said ONE of.... SHEESH... this is PERFECTION
My question is overrated as compared to whom????....
THE greatest, and will never be surpassed.
I first heard Led Zep when I was 13 yrs old & at 62 yrs old I still think they & Pink Floyd are the greatest bands of all time. Thanks for the upload!
I agree with you! For my 21st birthday present my dear ol Dad gave me a ticket to London to see Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' at Wembley Stadium. Best life decision ever. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Back at you, from NZ, that trip would have been magic Thank you, Dad! What an amazing memory he gave you. 🌌@@jenniferdaulby5519
Dont you use head phones ?70s music sounds better than ever that way
Ditto - exactly the same ages then and now. Not a day goes by that I do not have Led Zep on the speakers for some period of time. Saw Page & Plant Unplugged at Red Rocks several years ago - 10,000 people, not an ass hit the chair all night, everyone knew every word to every song. They are incomparable to those of us who have gotten there, and know.
(And yeah, Floyd is pretty good too.)
I agree my friend I was 12 now almost 46 you boomers and us gen xrs had it the greatest music ever to grow up to
Glad I grew up when I did, when music was music. The artist wrote and performed their own stuff. No gimmicks. You had to have real talent. I don't think anyone will be listening to today's music 50 years later
I wouldn’t trade going thru the teenage years late 60’s early 70’s for any other time in history. 60’s to 80 literally the best music in history
Amen.
Yeah some great memories!! I saw these guys and a lot of the others!
Glad you cut it off at 1980. 80"s metal, unlistenable. The good bands after that were few and far between.
@@Tyler-xd9rbI’d say Prince was an exception.
Amen
I'm 72 and this song still touches me. Led Zeppelin has a very special place in music history that can never be duplicated. The four members were great by themselves, but together they were magic.
I am, too, and I think these guys changed rock forever!! 💋💖💋💖🌵🌵👵🐺🖖
I'm the same age as you. I never get tired of this incredible music.
I'am just a little younger than you at 70. I had the great opportunity and pleasure to see Led Zeppelin in 1973, at Kezar Stadium, in San Francisco. I remember that they came on a little late, but the performance was worth waiting for. Lee Michaels filled in the time while we were waiting for Zeppelin and for a duo group (organist and drummer) he did a bang up job. Those were good times.
Yes. I am in the same boat. These bands will live
forever.
Truer words were never spoken.
I can’t believe someone said Led Zeppelin was overrated. That’s rich.
It’s also not true.
You may, or may not know, the drummer on the Heart version is the son of the original Led Zepplin drummer.
I knew. Jason's Dad taught him well.
Overrated? Overrated? Oh I don't think so! 😂 One of the best rock bands EVER! I'm so glad that I grew up with this music!
Even putting personal taste aside, in sheer terms of talent, skill and execution the entire band was a concentrate of absolute excellence.
Jimmy Page a solid contender for the title of best guitarist alive, John Bonham doesn't even need to contend as pretty much everyone agrees he's been the most skilled drummer in rock's history, Robert Plant had such a charismatic and iconic voice and John Paul jones is up there as one of the best keyboardists on the scene.
not overrated and i im glad I grew with this music
The greatest pure kick ass rock band ever!!
I'm sick to my stomach. Who thinks that? Long live Zeppelin.❤❤
THE best!!!
The song is about a wealthy woman who bought everything she ever wanted without ever giving anything back and now wants to buy her way into heaven, and finding out it doesn't work that way. It goes on to explain that it's never too late for introspection and to make positive changes within yourself...reflected in the lyrics 'who shines white light and wants to show, how everything still turns to gold, and if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last'. A brilliant metaphor and a legendary, musical masterpiece.
I agree I think it has a lot of symbolism also from The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien
Thanks for sharing this information 🙏. I obviously know the song and the basics of what it was about, but I didn't know the full details.
@@aimeethompson1457 of course, the song is about the elvs leaving middle earth to the west. Its the journey of those that were leaving the middle earth.
@@AnunnakiDNApe Absolute classic!
None of us know what is on the other side of death, if there is anything at all.
*Boomer here: I sincerely hope Gen Z takes away one big lesson from this song. No machine, no computer, no bot will ever top human talent, passion, and creativity. Machines and computers, they can do many things humans can't do. But not the arts, not [real] music. Never lose real music. In a way, you already have. Rap isn't music, it's talking. 60s, 70s, and 80s... that was real music. It changes your mood, your mind, and your thinking. Never give up real music, nothing replaces it.*
Led Zeppelin: When 4 artistically inclined skinny nerdy geniuses with a penchant for Tolkien form a band and change the world.
Here's to hairy toes 🍄
At 70 years old, it does my heart good watching someone from the younger generation discover this music. LZ will be in my soul forever. I'm so glad you liked it so much.
I thank you and your generation for this wonderful gift of music
I feel the art has lost its meaning in regards to todays music
High school prom theme for me.
I agree!
@@Susany7727 I would have loved that, oh how lucky you were.
Plant could cry and scream. But every word was clear. No fakery, no auto tune. Masters of their genre.
Love his voice!
Lol rock fans with their obsession with auto tune. Every record Plant was ever involved in had some degree of auto tune applied.
@@louquay hey genius. Auto-Tune was created in 1997. Led Zeppelin began playing in 1968. They did not use autotune.
ROCK STARS for real Plant would wear the blouse 👚 of one of his female lovers on stage.
Straight Player. 😅😅🎉
I am 73 years old and I grew up listening to some of the best rock bands in the entire world 🌍. Led Zeppelin is at the top of my list ....and let me tell you, it's a long list ! Rock on brother's and God Bless 🙏🙏🤘🤘❤️❤️👏👏
I know, I miss the good Ole days when people had raw talent. Today its so fake with dancers & show sparks, auto-tune & dubbed voices. Sad. The best talent does not get promoted unless its satanic & or perverted lyrics.
This song is routinely voted number one of all time. Robert Plant is 75 years old and still killing it with new music take a look
This is when you actually had to have talent to be a star, or in their case ROCK GODS!! No auto tune, drum machines or backtracks, just pure talent! All of them!
Here here... all these wanna be rock bands hahahha
True.
Yes!!!!
❤
Yeah. Too bad that in the case of Zep, it was so often someone else's talent. They've settled suits for plagiarism six different times.
Overrated? Someone lied to you!! 4 of the greatest musicians to ever come together! Watch more live performances!!!
The song, not the band. The song is their worst piece of crap. Almost nothing else is.
@@gethriel wow... I've never been blindly huge on Zep, but even I can admit this is one of their greats. The reason Plant hates when people cover it is because no one can really do it justice....except Heart.
@@gethrielNONSENSE.
They were so powerful together, no studio could contain them...
Truth!
Maybe the hypnosis from Jimmy’s guitar is from Bonham backing him on the drums. As I understand it, most drummers play off the bass but Bonham plays with the guitar. And he often plays in a different time than the guitar. Bonham can be credited with much of Zeppelin’s sound that took them so high above the rest.
The hypnotic effect of Jimmy’s guitar playing is his fascination with harmonics. He came up with some of the most unique tunings and beautiful tones on the planet.
He’s mesmerizing because he created atmosphere and emotion. Yes Bonham and the others contributed, but that guitar solo could stand alone and still be timeless and captivating.
There was Beethoven, Bach, Mozart and now Page. He’s truly the Mozart of Rock guitar.
This song defined a decade and a generation. Led Zeppelin was the world’s first supergroup in terms they were truly larger than life.
And I have to say Robert Plant’s vocals are phenomenal
That's not the only thing, apparently.
I love him
Can't be said enough - there is nothing overrated about Led Zeppelin. They were a spectacular expression of what rock and roll could be, and that song is a quintessential expression of what they could do. And this is live. No studio gimmicks or cleaning up. You're hypnotized by Page because of the music. He's not showing off, shredding for the sake of shredding - he is completely in the music.
Shredders bore me!!
True
@@kevinmcconnell3641 Me too. I’d rather hear a guitarist play one note with passion than a shredder playing a million notes like a machine.
It’s simply the greatest rock song ever composed. A masterful song that will still be listened to 100 years on .,
Yes youngsters They are our ROCK AND ROLL GODS EVERY WORD EVERY TWANG OF THE GUITAR Enjoy My babys I'm 65 yrs old I will never forget when I saw them for the 1st time 1974
One thing that doesn't get appreciated enough is just how damn good JPJ and Bonham are keeping the tempo and maintaining the rhythm in the background.
Exactly!!!!
True that! John Bonham the best drummer ever, and is there a musical instrument that JPJ cannot play?!
I think Bonham gets a lot of attention as top 5 best rock drummers of all time. JPJ does get overlooked IMHO
Agreed.
If you can get this version (from Song Remains the Same) playing on something with a good subwoofer, his bass drum work is INSANE on this version of Stairway.
These guys were probably the best rock band ever. No pitch correction, just totally amazing music night after night. No one did it better! Pure Rock Gods❤
No probably about it
I don't think anyone would have accused them of using pitch correction for Plant's voice.
They are the F*cking best alright!!! No one can touch them. PERIOD,
Saw them play in 1973 in a 3 hour concert !!
I had just turned 21 and in my first band.
49 years later I sang Stairway To Heaven at my 70th birthday.
It will also be my funeral song.
This song inspired me in so many ways in my life and I want to leave it saying THANK YOU.
The greatest ever rock band 🎸 and never to be forgotten or bettered ❤️❤️❤️🙏
These guys were kids when they wrote this. Lots of Tolkien etc. BUT they were masterful musicians. They will always be the daddy
The Greatest Rock Band Ever!!!
Whomever told you they were overrated…Never talk to them again.
10 studio albums, not one songs sounds alike.
Writer, producers, just Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and John Bohnam!
This is a live version, no second takes, no safety nets, nothing.
And though, still as close to perfection as you could dream of.
Wow.
70s talent for sure
No fancy dance moves, just rock and roll music😀
Totally agree! REAL music
The best version in my opinion.
It is beautiful. Did you notice the transition between the 6 string and the 12-string Jimmy Page had that guitar made for this song. I graduated in 74, the 70s were a wonderful time to be young, alive, and listening to the FM radio .how about Frankenstein bye Johny and edger winter ,studio the best.
The song is a masterpiece. It's message is loud and clear...if you listen very hard...and more relevant today than ever! Zeppelin were always transcendent, and would take me away to other realms that very few bands could reach or even dream of. Just magical!
NO AUTO TUNE!! Everytime they played a song they played it different too. Pure genius!
Or sang it differently especially when drunk as hell. Front row center 1977 in San Diego. LOL
Yes!! We were so lucky! Led Zeppelin, Queen, and so many others.
@@cynthiawatson6104San Diego was a pretty great show what are you on about
@@rishavpaudel5021 Never said it wasn't. Said Plant was drunk as hell. I was front row center. Wasn't hard to tell he was drunk.
@@cynthiawatson6104or played it differently when strung out on heroin 😢
Jimmy taps into the spirit world and brings it through him - that's why it's hypnotizing. Tom Petty once said, "All the great songs are already written, you just have to reach into the ether and get them." Jimmy did and does that
I was gonna say, it's because he's high AF and channeling something from out in the Universe.
Interesting quote from Tom Petty. It's rather astonishing to me how many songwriters (words and/or music) say things like "the song just wrote itself"--which is close to what Robert Plant said about Stairway. I'm not going to say because they're high (although Jimmy certainly looks that way, even in this clip, which, if I understand the timeline right, pre-dates his heroin days), but I have come to think that they are tapping into *something*--the music of the spheres, the spirit world, God, or what-have-you. Not just LZ, but all these songs that are writing themselves. With Stairway, LZ just got a bigger part of it, or got closer to the heart of it, or something--whatever "it" may be.
This is the correct answer.
Well, with a little plagurism - but hey they own it when they do it. Speaking of Zepplin not Petty.
They were rock gods. Whenever you went to a Led Zeppelin concert there were no other bands there. They always played for around three hours. I was lucky enough to see them three times and I would gladly camp out for a few days again to see them again.
Zeppelin played with and through their HEARTS and SOULS❤
...what moves you is "soul"... they're not just playing music - they express emotions... it's the greatest band in history !!
This song takes you on a journey that starts off slow and beautiful and builds to a crescendo. Jimmy Page's guitar is hypnotic because it's almost like he's in a trance when he plays. Robert Plant sings so seductively and artfully the words with so much meaning. Its a masterpiece.💕
They wove a spell with their guitar & voice over their audience.
Because It Is ''DEEP'' ! Everything Came From The HEART & SOUL ! Our Music Was The "GOOD" Before The "BAD" & The "UGLY" Came Around !
Led Zeppelin = Rock Gods.
John Bonham still regarded today as the best rock drummer of all time.
With all due respect, perhaps more like one of the best. Neil Peart of Rush?
@@HughCorbyCruick, 40 yrs after his death, John Bonham is sill regarded as the top rock drummer of all time in the majority of polls. Drummers themselves have ranked him the highest for decades.
Ooopa, you opened the can of all time best drummers; Neil Peart.
This is just a super dumb argument that keeps circulating like an endless whirlpool. Were these guys in competition? Is there a trophy for best? What are the criteria for best? Keith Moon was a pioneer of rock drumming. Bill Bruford was in that league. What's the point of this? Why cant you just enjoy the music bro.
And what a tribute to his father. Jason is one talented dude. I hear the only song's solo Jason could not duplicate was in Money Dick. When Jason plays that song, and the solo starts getting intense by 10, he stops and lets a video of Dad do the rest. Beautiful tribute.
It's sad to think there will never be music written like this again.
Absolutely agree with you! Very sad. Original music not derived or borrowed from other music is hard to find now. Music so unique that you can name that song in 3 notes and played by consummate musicians, sung without auto tuning. Just not common now.
I love these guys and was born in the late sixties. Always will love it! One of my favorite bands, also Floyd Etc., but have lived long enough to Dig Mudvayne, lol, Korn and Slipknot and hundreds of other great bands! LOL!!
@@oldnick4707 Pink Floyd was another phenomenal band. Decades later I still remember how my skin felt the first time I heard Comfortably Numb.
@@fluxrider7027,
Yeah, I think I started out with 'Dark Side of the Moon' I guess when I was a kid, then checked out all their earlier stuff and was pretty blown away by all of it!
@@oldnick4707 I've had the pleasure of literally seeing three or four different people experience that floyd moment where suddenly they start noticing the music that they've never noticed before, and instantly become a pink floyd convert.
(I had that moment myself as well, although i wasn't watching me have it...)
I think the fact that I'm still overwhelmed by it 55 years later says it all. it's Genuis.
Your reaction made my heart ever so happy.
Oh mercy mercy. Each member of this band was a master of their craft. At 68 I remember how groundbreaking and amazing this band was at that time and they sound equally remarkable today. Robert Plant used his voice like an instrument. So so good. And by the way this old lady has to say he was the hottest man is those tight jeans and that HAIR. He’s still just as good today. What a time for music! Enjoy!!
I agree. This old lady thought the same.😂😂😂
As did this old man 😉
I couldn’t have said it better! I’m 66 and this takes me back to the best years of my life…I thank God that I grew up when I did! This old lady still remembers how hot that gorgeous man was in those tight jeans..and that gorgeous hair!
Ditto! It's hard to believe it was real sometimes. ❤
The man just oozed sensuality & charisma. 😊
That hypnotic feeling is what Zeppelin fans know as their 5th element. When the 4 of them were playing together they created something greater than themselves. Since John Bonham died it hasn't been duplicated.
That hypnotic feeling was demonstrated superbly in the song Kashmir.
Guy got me with asking "what is your stairway?"
It was new, it was something we had never heard before, they were wild, sort of like our version of Elvis, plus side was they freaked out our parents and they yelled “turn that sh:t down!”
1+1+1+1=5
First I've heard of 5th element but it puts it perfectly; you cannot believe there are only 4 of them. Something to do with constructive interference?
We had the GREATEST artists and music ever produced when I grew up in the 70s and I was fortunate to see MANY of these bands live in concert including Zeppelin
I seen quite a few in the 70's but missed so many more. If I have regrets it's that I didn't go to enough concerts. I never got the chance to see Led Zeppelin live.
Zeppelin was exhilarating to see live but their perfection is really amplified by their studio work. I recommend listening to their album tracks. Srsly life changing musical chemistry.
My brother taught himself the guitar with this song. He ended up learning to play the guitar, bass guitar, harmonica, cello, and saxophone.. yet never learned to read music. At his funeral (at 21 years old), we played a recording of him playing Stairway to Heaven. I was only 14 at the time, but this song has always held a special place in my heart.
Oh man, that breaks my heart to hear, my friend, but also for a memory to be forged from the playing of music by a musician is poetic to its soul.
Sorry for your loss ❤
So sorry for your loss, my friend 😢
wow… sorry for your loss. Your story gave me goose bumps. like a dejavu.
I lost my big brother in 1980. he was 21 at the time. He and I loved concerts (and he could drive before I could). our first concert?… Led Zeppelin
in ‘78 at the centra-plex in Baton Rouge. We had tickets to Led Zeppelin in the Superdome earlier in the year that was cancelled due to John Bonham’d death. This song was one of his favorites and it brings back memories of the Zeppelin concert in Baton Rouge, just my brother and I, out on a school weekday night (with permission), getting our ear drums blown out. it’s an all time great song… the anthem of my generation.
Hello.
I hope you believe that there is a God, and I hope it is the one found in The Bible.
I beg, if you want to see him again, I guarantee you he will without question be resurrected in the paradise Earth that will soon come.
I beg of you, find Jehovah God and you will come to an accurate understanding of the truth, regardless of what nay-sayers say.
As great as Jimmy Pages solos are I think John Bonhams drumming is a big part of why they’re so mesmerizing. They just belong together in our head.
Many of their songs started with a groove from Bonham. He's the greatest rock drummer ever and most musical.
Bonham really new how to accentuate the melody, while making a complex and intriguing beat at the same time. It truly elevated their music.
There is a book written about them fittingly named “ When Giants Walked the Earth” . They are the GOAT.
Page hypnotizes you bc he's getting the guitar to TALK TO YOU and you're just trying to interpret and understand the complex language 🔥
Little old UK produced some of the best rock bands of all time, great to see there being rediscovered many years later
True statement!
The UK produced some of the best bands ever.
Definitely the UK rocks
Siempre lo he dicho: el rock es americano pero los grandes del rock son ingleses todos.
Jimi Hendrix had to go to London to make a name for himself, The management in USA did t want
Wanna get your mind blown? Now go watch them perform this at Celebration Day at the O2 arena, when they reunited for a one-time concert in 2007. They were in their late 50's - early 60's and sound almost the same as they did here. Here's the thing: John Paul Jones is widely-regarded as one of the greatest bass players of all-time. John Bonham is generally considered a top-five drummer of all-time. And you know Jimmy Page's credentials as an all-time guitarist. Add in Robert Plant's vocals, which can't be replicated, and you get 4 all-time greats at their craft who formed one of the greatest bands of all-time.
Thanks for the tip 👍
@@mw78511973 At Madison Square Garden is lightyear better. Truth.
If John Bonham isn't on the drums, isn't not Led Zeppelin.
@@Reno_Slim
I agree but Jason comes very close at The Kennedy Center Honors with Heart!
You do know it was Jason on drums at celebration day?
I'm 61 years old and I can remember loving everything Led Zeppelin did in the 70s. As to why Stairway to Heaven was so important, I remember it being played at every dance. The meaning is very interpretive in rock. Lyrics were personal but not obvious so everyone could apply them to themselves differently. Back then they didn't put lyrics with the album, maybe to make you "listen very hard". Beautiful music. They were the best amongst tons of great artists, all heartfelt and devoted to their craft.
“To be a rock and not to roll.” is a great line from the song 😆
Sometimes there is no explanation for greatness. It just is. These guys got together and took us to places we had never seen.
They are best.
Thank you
Pure Art…
Stairway to Heaven was played by radio DJ"s over and over and over for years -- for a reason. This was the epitome of classic rock.
No Stairway! Denied!
And it was long enough that they could go to the bathroom and take a dump. 🤣
In an era of 3 minute maximums
As someone from this generation growing up with such great music from the Beetles, the Stones, Manfred Man, the Mommas and the Papas and so many more, nothing had ever come close to this. As you said, it was a huge catalyst for change. Zeppelin opened the door for the next generation of music.
“I can taste the psychedelics from here, bro.”
Love it! 😂
I once had a dream where I was asked to sing on stage and was basically pushed out in front of a massive audience before I could even reply. when I turned around, there was Robert Plant (and the rest of the band) handing me a microphone.
Once you hear this band, they set up shop in your subconscious and refuse to leave.
They’re that profound. 🧡
I'm now 66 years old. Welcome to my high-school years. This was true rock baby! I'm so glad you're hearing and enjoying it. ❤
Why so important? We were not distracted by social media. This is how artists communicated with their fans. I have had the feelings you described when listening to Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Their performances reached into my heart and poured their souls into mine. No matter how many times I hear their music, I still get chills. Long live real music forever!❤
I saw Led Zeppelin perform April 8, 1970 in Dorton Arena, Raleigh, NC. I was 17 and that was best concert to this day I ever saw.
I grew into adulthood with this music and could not make out the lyrics, but the intense guitar playing and the sweep of the melody could catch me up and admire it.
This was what growing up in the 60’s and 70’s meant to us baby boomers!! When I saw them live, Robert Plant said this was a song of hope!! That’s what us teenagers truly believed!!❤️
Lucky you!
I was a teen in the 70s too! They were magnificent!
I too was a teen in the 70’s and grew up around what “I” considered the best music ever
Proud Baby Boomer. Our music rocked!
Yes we had/have the best music. As a child born in 1950 I can truly believe that. I am still loving the tunes.
If I had to choose one group to listen to the rest of my life it would be Zeppelin. ❤
The BEST music came from the 70's without a doubt! Unforgettable!!
This song and band was the first of this deep,heavy,celtic,acid blues rock style and "Stairway "started slow ,soft and beautiful and built up to a massive crescendo ,never seen befor!listen to the studio version it's even more haunting!!number one on the chart for all time in the top 500 carts
Firstly, these artists played without autotune. They were major talents, they played from a deeper sense of what the music meant. The words are indeed profound, it was the age for penetrating our deepest illusions. Thanks for the look back😊
I feel like "they don't use autotune" is something you can safely assume from "the band started in the 1960s" xD some of their music is 30 years older than autotune is.
When you talk about Led Zeppelin, you are talking about 4 guys who were musicians with a capital M. These guys each knew their instruments profoundly well and it shows in the quality of their music. They were then and remain to be today a beacon among rock bands because of what they put into, and what they could pull out of their music. I believe there is a word for that, and that word is legend.
I'm 64 , saw them 15yrs. GREAT
The best Rock band ever, with the best singer, lead guitarist and drummer EVER. That guitar was especially made for Jimmy.
Some of their songs were influenced by ancient Celtic myth, allegory, magic, JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings- but whatever they created with their many albums, transported me to heaven- still does✨.
In my opinion, the reason Page's guitar work is so mesmerizing is because he has the ultimate rhythm section with JPJ and Bonzo, who create many amazing rhythm pockets, and Page is a master of playing slightly out of the pocket then back in and then back out and in and so on. In this way, it is like watching someone walk a trapeze line that loves to pretend he might fall off at any moment, but somehow never does. You can't look away even though you know he will always pull it off successfully.
I was actually going to say almost the same, the drums and bass is so well laid out that anything on top of it works, then Jimmy pours in with such heart on top of that which makes it impossible to not get entranced.
He actually also strived to mesmerize with his guitar by his own admission. Kashmir was heavily influenced by middle eastern trance music and Jimmy himself was very into magic again by his own admission. So much so he even at one time once owned the home that was once owned by Alister Crowley.
Yes exactly! Bonzo and Page would let the other lead at times in songs and that is a big part!
Led Zep’s music always has a unique dynamic because of Bonham choosing to follow Page’s guitar. Jones follows Bonham. It is the pairing of Bonzo and Jimmy that gives their music the unique power it has.
And I have to disagree with you about Page…
Page could play guitar with that same mesmerizing quality with anyone or just by himself like he has and it still sounds absolutely prolific, whether JB or JPJ are present or not. If you listened to him with the Yardbirds for instance, you’d know what I mean. Granted though, JB & JPJ really are the BEST rhythm section of all time, IMO.
But Page wasn’t one of the greatest players just because of the rhythm section in LZ.
You mentioned Heart's cover of this amazing song - it's worth mentioning that John Bonham's son played the drums during their performance in front of the legends.
Led Zeppelin is the best rock band and Robert Plant will always be the golden god of rock.. I am 66 years old & I still listen to LedZep. Stairway to Heaven is my all-time fave🔥🔥
It amazes me that this band was only a group from 1968 - 1980 & it will live on forever. Robert Plant continued his solo career of course, but it still surprises me when I realize their span was only 12 years. They are all legends.
Band really did not continue after John Bonham, drummer of Led Zeppelin, died 1980. So there you have reason why it ended 1980.
It’s the music! God I’m aging myself but back in the day, music went somewhere. It was not all the same beat over and over again. It had depth.
You mean like how The Beatles were together for 8 years, or Jimi Hendrix was only around for 4?
Listening to and watching Zeppelin was like witnessing an atomic bomb detonation. They were spontaneous and daring and when they played together onstage, the sheer power was terrifying. One reactioner said it best when she watched them perform Dazed and Confusedi live. : "this should be illegal!'
Correct. Mind boggling the music produced in that timeframe. @@Zeta9966
How did we go from this type of music with so much soul, passion, talent, heart, to today's complete opposite music? Smh 😔😩😢
We took a wrong turn at Albuquerque..Quote from Bugs Bunny.
There's still a lot of great music but nothing compares to the 60's and 70's.
@@bellabunnell3174 Not like this. I think we all agree. Real. Raw. Rock.
Came the bean counters and they take no risks.
posers
Zeppelin, psychedelics, long hair, tight jeans was a perfect Friday night in the 70's for us. No autotune, strong mesmerizing vocals, lyrics that live on for eternity. 💜
This was the song chosen by my high school senior class to be our senior song for the graduating class of 1977. We had the goods. Believe it.
they were all in their mid 20s here, incredible confidence and stage presence. the greatest rock band of all time.
Jimmy was a session player they all wanted, and he was 16 and just out of Westminster College I believe...excuse if memory is wrong, I'm almost 83yr.old female still in love with Robert, Jimmy, Paul and wish John was still with us all....
@@margaretflounders8510 wonderful that a lady even older than I, still gets that Zeppelin love 💜💚
"Overrated." Possibly coming from people who don't have the breadth of musical experience or understanding of how complicated, original, and truly talented this band is. This isn't even their best song, definitely their most famous song, but not their best. By their own admission, that song would be "Kashmir," an epic song that showcases all their talents in one powerhouse tune.
This song suffers from being so great it was overplayed. Some people just got tired of hearing it many times a day for years. Any list of best rock songs that doesn't have this in the top 3, isn't worth a crap. To (fake) quote Bogart, "Play it again Sam." Or in this case Zep.
Maybe over played but never over rates. :)
Bonzo in 4/4, Jimmy in 3/3, they meet every 12 beats. Really cool.
How to say one is arrogant without saying one is arrogant.
@@betsybabf748 Play You're So Vain by Carly Simon to them.
Bruv, Zeppelin are the Norse gods of rock & roll. They're British, but that's just where they were born in this incarnation. This isn't even them at their peak. Plant is holding back and being gentle this time.
I sincerly encourage you to look up Plant's explanation of his lyrics.
This song's timeless...the amazing riff. The incredible voice ...the drums...the keyboard. Put these together dude and you have pure Zeppelin...No effin auto tune!!! Plant and Page will live forever. 60's and 70's were the best time to live. We were free and we fought for what was right.
I’ve been listening to Zeppelin since the mid 70s. Just listened to II again today. Never gets old, they are timeless. Jimmy Page is a genius as they all are.
Sounds like you experienced the real Led Zeppelin...it hits you in the soul with feelings that you never knew you had...glad I grew up in the 70s and 80s...BEST DAMN LIVE SHOWS EVER...it's hard to live up to the legends, but there are some that still do the thing...
Absolutely
We never see raw talent like this anymore
Someone once said there is something supernatural about this. I totally agree! Pure magic!!
Greatest band of all time. And as someone who plays guitar, what Jimmy Page played there was incredibly difficult.
🤦♂️
An absolute masterpiece. Anyone who says they are overrated is simply trying to be controversial and they don’t really mean it.
Overrated? Maybe not. Stole other people's music? Half a dozen times or more.
@@MrMZaccone Jimmy was the king of rip offs...
@@MrMZacconeStole the good stuff
No, I mean it. Overrated does not mean "not good", it means having been given more credit than they deserve. And seeing how half of their music was actually someone else's, I'd say overrated is a fair assessment.
Come on people's.
The only relevant was No Quarter and they turned that into a masterpiece.
Great!! WE had the best music ever which is why it's still played. Pink Floyd!!!!
music is my religion - led zeppelin is my church
This band was made up of four immensely talented people. Each one an inspiration to all rock bands that followed in their foot steps. The Godfathers of Rock!! IMO, They're literally the best rock band in history!!
Along with free, jethro tull genesis...flower kings.
@paulcollins5586 They're all relevant. But, we're not talking about them right now. We're talking about Led Zeppelin. Plus, none of the 3 you mentioned can stand against Zeppelin, not ever!
Plants timing is way off in this video so not as good. @@MsZepfreak
@paulcollins5586 I don't think so... this is a superb performance. I find your comment ridiculous. Plant is a professional and very used to performing live, his timing is never "off" He is the GOAT for a reason!!!
@@MsZepfreak Floyd are 10 times better than this bunch of musical thieves.
One of the ultimate rock performances ever caught on film. The lighting on Plant was damn near perfect.
El parece un ángel azul
Jimmy makes his guitar sing...like nobody else.
I was there at this live concert. 1973 Madison Square Garden.....Greatest moment in my life!
