This band is a great club band. I saw them twice in SC back in 1990 and they rocked the house down. DZ was great in person and no video does them justice. One thing is for sure, they knew all of the licks and played them extremely well. You would be laughing and rockin' at the same time. I've never seen another band like them since.
@TYSONHAWKE Dread Zeppelin was one of those bands that you had heard about but had no idea of where to see them. These guys were beyond genius. Thumbs up from me.
I keep asking myself "Is this real, or am I just imagining this." I can't believe music this good actually exists. This song makes me want to be a better man.
The best Led Zeppelin cover EVER! A true classic. So much going on here you have to watch each member closely with each replay. Great beat, humour, mood and atmosphere and subculture. Awesome. Long live The Dread!
They played a club on the south side of the University of Arizona campus on a regular basis starting in the late 80's. Saw them go from having a small crowds to very large crowds as the CDs took off. It was a always GREAT show - extremely talented musicians, great music and fun! Everybody had a good time at a Dread Zeppelin concert.
Blending Elvis with Led Zeppelin, what's not to love? Great comedy and cool imaginative versions of good songs. LOVE this band. We need this kind of humor now and then in this tragic world.
I saw these guys a couple of times in the 90's. they actually put on a great show. They don't take themselves seriously but they are hugely entertaining!!!!
How can anyone in thier right or unright mind not love this band ? Elvis and zeppelin together come on that is pure genius and tortelvis can sing his ass off man !!!
I listened to your first album (on cassette man) over and over and then a little more over than even that! Me and my best buddy ( in the car) drove all over the place listening and smoking it all up! Some of our fondest memories.
"let's get that reggae feel that I like ". I died. Check this out : th-cam.com/video/hLNjVvJAiCw/w-d-xo.html Not one-to-one, since it mashup, but hilarious none the less.
@@schnooleheletteletto 🤣 so MISS that period of ..well, a friend called ‘em Cali Goof Bands (group of Very good musicians who ..well, worked out a freaky gimmick & some got crazy popular.) this band Really kicked everyone’s ass in that regard.
Robert Plant once asked Col Tom Parker if he would consider using LZ as Elvis' backing group, but the Colonel dismissed the idea immediately. What a shame, as LZ were massive Elvis fans.
Saw them in a small venue in Portland OR in the 90s. After the set the band came into the bar for drinks and hung out with us. "Tortelvis has left the building" was announced. Hilliarious.
I saw this band in Columbia, MO over 10 years ago @ the Blue Note... hilarious man! One of the band does nothing but attend to Tort Elvis with towels. These guys are top notch musicians... see their show, you won't regret it (do they still play?)
Dread and Southern Culture on the Skids are your absofrigginlutely best bet for live music. I saw DZ when they toured with Mojo Nixon; good God that was great.
I saw these guys at the Empire Ballroom in Cleveland in 1990. By far the best "show" I've ever seen. These guys were one of the most inventive novelty acts around, knew it, played right into it instead of acting serious, the musicianship was incredible, and just the fun they had doing what they did made it a great show. I also remember reading somewhere that Robert Plant and Jimmy Page loved these guys, said most of Led's music was based on reggae anyway. I've been to a million concerts and I'll never forget this one. Thanks Dread Zeppelin!
I saw these back at UW-Milwaukee back in like 1988 or something. It was a blast. Interviewed the band for the college newspaper and had a few drink with them. It must be 20 years since I heard any of their music.
Damn Straight! Tell It, Brutha !!! Un-Bridled Greatness. Next Stop, the Land of Ice and Smoke, via The OC, Tupelo and Kingston!!! Oh yeah, the UK, too. Led put out an Open Invitation!!!
Anyone remember when these guys got booed of the stage and were pelted with fruit at reggae on the rocks at the red rocks amphitheater in Colorado?? Just wondering my parents were there I sadly was not.
I've always wondered, do these folks just walk around with fruit in their pants expecting something to take a turn? Was there a guy sitting next to me at the Norah Jones concert last year with a sack full of apples just waiting for her to screw up the lyrics to "Don't Know Why" so he could pelt her in the head? Or maybe they were walking home from the grocery store, saw a marquee and stopped in to inquire about last minute tickets? I've also wondered what they do with the fruit if things go well. Are there trashcans full of bananas at the end of Red Hot Chili concerts that didn't go poorly? Could we somehow feed hungry people by putting out bins at concerts? And then there are those that throw rotten cabbages. Seriously, what's the proper receptacle for carrying a rotten cabbage into a concert hall? Where did they get a rotten cabbage? Are they trolling the dumpsters at Kroger? And can you imagine how conflicted you would feel if you showed up to a concert with rotten cabbages and Hannah Montana hit every note perfectly? I can just see someone doing the Charlie Brown walk out of the Staples Center with a rotten cabbage in each hand.
I saw this! But what late night show was it from...? I have Un-Led-Ed (like anybody who'd be looking at this) and have loved these guys (and LED ZEP and ELVIS) for a long time.
YAh-ah, Hah, Hah!!! We come from the land of the ice and snow From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow The hammer of the gods W'e'll drive our ships to new lands To fight the horde, and sing and cry Valhalla, I am coming!
Robert Plant has said in interviews that he absolutely loves this band.
And then he woke up ! ;)
Yes and the favorite band of Jimmy Page is Kaleidoscope in the 60's.....
Who dosnt
Who?
Robert plant can't even save this.
Saw them at the Ranch Bowl in Omaha, Nebraska (since torn down for a Mid-town Walmart) and they were great!! Early '90's.
This band is a great club band. I saw them twice in SC back in 1990 and they rocked the house down. DZ was great in person and no video does them justice. One thing is for sure, they knew all of the licks and played them extremely well. You would be laughing and rockin' at the same time. I've never seen another band like them since.
Years and years later
I'm still jammin this
Saw them on Beale Street Memphis TN back in the early 90's
Epic 😎
So freaking good.
Charlies confused facial expressions passing out towels puts the icing on the cake.
Who is he supposed to be?

I agree. Changed my life totally.
I've seen em live years ago. Fantastic show
The 90s were awesome
The best Led Zeppelin cover EVER! A true classic. So much going on here you have to watch each member closely with each replay. Great beat, humour, mood and atmosphere and subculture. Awesome. Long live The Dread!

Yeah a cover band of a cover band lol
There is also their Reggae Rastafarian element.
If you listen to Plant, he sounds like Elvis in many Zep songs. No surprise since Elvis was a great influence on Plant
Led Zeppelin, Elvis and Reggae, we get this HILARIOUS band!
@@Frankincensedjb123 Yes, and Plant talks of meeting him here on You Tube.
Dammit, this is so good! Thank you for existing.
I saw these guys a couple of times in the 90's. they actually put on a great show. They don't take themselves seriously but they are hugely entertaining!!!!
3:12 the single greatest moment in musical history.
The single greatest moment in acid flashback history!
Haha yeah
Me when I'm trying to hold my pee in.
Confirmed: Epic
I hereby declare Dread Zeppelin the most awesome cover band EVER. This was awesome!
I love this stuff. I was the ultimate Zep fan when I was younger. Elvis would be proud. Good fun all around.
That just reaffirmed my faith in humanity.
Truly awesome in every way, shape and form. And these guys really bring it live.
As a HUGE Zep fan, I fully endorse this awesome and talented craziness.
One of the best bands you will ever see live!
Ok, the playing on their albums is really top notch. I call them serious musicians. Definitely worth a listen.
Firebird Sweet cause your a moron
@@rickrolledtruth5834 thats mean...
RICK ROLLED{FaCTz} um, the correct word is “you’re” not “your”, sooo…
ive seen them live 4 times they are great performers live. they also do other groups.
How can anyone in thier right or unright mind not love this band ? Elvis and zeppelin together come on that is pure genius and tortelvis can sing his ass off man !!!
I listened to your first album (on cassette man) over and over and then a little more over than even that! Me and my best buddy ( in the car) drove all over the place listening and smoking it all up! Some of our fondest memories.
This is the best thing that ever happened.
"let's get that reggae feel that I like ". I died. Check this out : th-cam.com/video/hLNjVvJAiCw/w-d-xo.html
Not one-to-one, since it mashup, but hilarious none the less.
Yeah forget about the harmonial structures in the last fugue in Bachs Art of the fugue how do we even top this
@@schnooleheletteletto 🤣 so MISS that period of ..well, a friend called ‘em Cali Goof Bands (group of Very good musicians who ..well, worked out a freaky gimmick & some got crazy popular.) this band Really kicked everyone’s ass in that regard.
@@janemillerick9614 well said and you got that right
My band use to open for them in '89 at Bogarts in Long Beach. They seemed to like us and we all Loved watching their shows!. Good Times!
I stopped at Bogart;'s only ONCE during my 11 yars in the L.A. area.... I had to take a pee on a Sunday afternoon roadtrip down from Burbank...
Dancing Spiderman et
I saw these guys in Lawrence Kansas in the early 90's and they were awesome live
I always wondered what Led Zeppelin would sound like with Elvis!!!!! Thank You,,Thank You Very Much!!!!
Robert Plant once asked Col Tom Parker if he would consider using LZ as
Elvis' backing group, but the Colonel dismissed the idea immediately.
What a shame, as LZ were massive Elvis fans.
321reh Peter Grant once approached Col Tom Parker, with the idea of LZ as supporting musicians for Elvis. Parker never responded.
"It's good for absolutely nuthin' ladies and gentleman" LOL
hi
Its 2:30 am and I watching this and read this comment and I'm fucking crying. Thank you.
The bar is really low if people can stand this crap.
@@keetonplace Robert Plant likes them
We absolutely love this band. Saw them at the new Daisy in Memphis- great night.
I was already laughing so hard, but I about cracked a rib at 3:02 - "It's good for absolutely nothin', Ladies and Gentlemen!" This is hilarious! \m/
Saw them in a small venue in Portland OR in the 90s. After the set the band came into the bar for drinks and hung out with us. "Tortelvis has left the building" was announced. Hilliarious.
Amazing live and very approachable really great bunch of guyz.
I saw this band in Columbia, MO over 10 years ago @ the Blue Note... hilarious man! One of the band does nothing but attend to Tort Elvis with towels. These guys are top notch musicians... see their show, you won't regret it (do they still play?)
And to top it all off...a light blue leisure suit!!!! Gotta love the details.
I miss them! Are they still around? They were very cool.
Just perfect.
Couldn’t be any better
Just found you guys please come to the inland empire!!! Would love to see you guys, absolutely legendary!
Dread and Southern Culture on the Skids are your absofrigginlutely best bet for live music. I saw DZ when they toured with Mojo Nixon; good God that was great.
- Absolutely stunning.
I saw them in Copenhagen. One of the best ever concerts.
I cant believe I just discovered these guys yesterday! Funny yet terribly talented.
More original zeppelin cover band ever...incredible and amazing.... love so much this music
So easy to not be disappointed

Listening in 2024!?!?
Absolutely! Had to check these hipsters out after a long time ,pleased I did !
Check
Damn. Это слишком простой трюк.
😂 Но,чувак, я рад быть здесь!
🎉
Yep !
saw them at Midwest Reggaefest at Nelson Ledges (year unknown) . I smiled thru the whole set.
Tort’s dancing at the 3:12 mark onward may be the greatest thing i’ve ever seen
saw these guy live at the omni new daisy on beale st. back in 94....and it was good!
"it's good for absolutely nothing, ladies and gentlemen" --- and then: dancing. Love it. Ya-Ha-Haaaaaa-Haa :)
Wow,entertaining as he'll. I love em'
Oh my gosh. When he says "Hammer of the gods" the understatement had me pissing my pants. I'm suing these bastards for damaged gut muscles.
What is absolutely amazing about Dread Zeppelin is they did all of this, rocked it out, and there was not one note of '"ironic" anywhere.
LOL f*** yeah I know you're a funny son-of-a-b**** wish we could party sometime
A friend of mine played me this, but seeing it...I have to see and hear this live
Robert Plant loves them
he played this record before his solo shows in the 90's
Yep Irvine Meadows show 1990!
Yep, I was just making that very comment 👍
I'm here and Scott Aukerman, Jason Mantzoukas, Original Fig and Neptuna are to blame.
and i thank them greatly for this masterpiece
NEVER TAKE THIS DOWN
I saw them in Rio de Janeiro!
Nice show!!!
I remember Robert Plant being asked if he had heard any LZ tribute bands he thought were doing LZ right. He said Dred Zeppelin was about the best.
No arguement but I heard that Jimmy Page was the the one that really dug it. I don't mind being corrected.
gd64fd63 I'd like to believe you are both right!
Planty likes Fred Zeppelin
One of the greatest bands ever - even Robert Plant loves them
Genuine LOL!
WHO SAYS MODERN MUSIC IS TOO ABSURD FOR SPIKE JONES?
Brilliant!!!
This is beyond epic 🙌
I saw these back at UW-Milwaukee back in like 1988 or something. It was a blast. Interviewed the band for the college newspaper and had a few drink with them. It must be 20 years since I heard any of their music.
The moves, shower curtain, vibe= very cool. I was in my teens when this one came out. More of a tribute than a slam.
Thanks! Very cool.
Damn Straight! Tell It, Brutha !!! Un-Bridled Greatness. Next Stop, the Land of Ice and Smoke, via The OC, Tupelo and Kingston!!! Oh yeah, the UK, too. Led put out an Open Invitation!!!
This is so cool!
Holy crap!!! I need to see this live!!! Awesome!!
Pure gold. Better than 99% of the cover bands that try to play this in bars.....
Oh, and one more thing senator. Love your suit!!!
Long Live Dread Zeppelin!!
This is a work of unparalleled genius!
Criminally underrated band - quite an experience to see them live back in the day….
Al Jourgensen on the conga drums is killing it :)
😂😂 excellent catch
I didn't know the woodchipper guy from Fargo played guitar.
MerkinMuffly yes and he sleeps as well?

People loved them at Austin's Tunnel Club in 1990!
Saw them in Dallas in the early 90s, great show. Did shots with them during a break...Fun night
"Whole lotta love?" "Whole lotta ham," more like, but...oh, what joyous ham it is.
Yes had this cassette back in the 90's..im a huge led zep fan so id nevet forget these dudes..classic stuff
Tortelvis: "God came to me and said he wanted to hear Led Zeppelin songs sung like Elvis in a regge format" 80's
👌
Friggin' awesome!!!!!!
This shows how great Led Zeppelin really was. Led Zepplin inspired musicians from so many diverse musical backgrounds.
Why cant people get over themselves and enjoy the video? Zeppelin are one of my fave badns and i like it!
I played this at my class reunion, and all the ladies became mysteriously pregnant.
God the 90s were insane and brilliant
you can have all the respect in the world for led zeppelin and still get a kick out of this. im loling so hard, this is amazing.
I saw this band at the House of Blues in 1998 in the French Quarters, New Orleans. They put on quite an entertaining show!
Funnest band ever!
My uncle has a Dread Zep shirt. I asked him if he saw them. He told me that opened for them with his band!
Best song ever!!!!
Could someone post the entire lyrics of this performance? ya know, what the guy on dread is singing and everything, is cool!
Thankyouverymuch
WTF IT IS?!
I like it!
top of their game... these guys rock
My music guru sent me here. I am an old metalhead/ punk with an Elivs 'TCB' tattoo just above my Wu Tang Clan tattoo. I am home.
I saw this! But what late night show was it from...? I have Un-Led-Ed (like anybody who'd be looking at this) and have loved these guys (and LED ZEP and ELVIS) for a long time.
♥️♥️♥️ Torte Elvis! You got the pipes!
Just found these crazy people with crazily blended music ideas... two thumbs of my feet up.
YAh-ah, Hah, Hah!!!
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
W'e'll drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming!
Refreshingly funky and funny. Thanks for posting!
Tortelvis is the king of rock and roll.
God damn I miss this
that moment when you realize your dad was actually in a band
Good stuff.
