I was at this show. I saw a lot of shows at the old Chicago Stadium and it definitely was not known for its great acoustics. I’m surprised this sounds as good as it does.
I do vividly remember Jimmy chugging from a bottle that looked like Jack during the show, because I remember remarking to my buddy, “how can he pound that much Jack and still play?”
We knew something was up because we thought it was weird that they were taking a break when it didn’t seem like they had played that long.
For context, from what I remember, this was a pretty hot ticket. These shows sold out fast. I know the only way I got in was my buddy’s dad was in the liquor biz and did business with the Wirtz family.
That said, when Robert Plant came out with the bad news, the fans weren’t too happy. I remember a bunch of M80s coming down from the upper decks and wondering, “who the f@ck brings M80s to a show?”
I remember they said they would come back at the end of the tour for a redo. But then I think Plant’s kid passed away and the rest of the tour was canceled.
I remember it was a PITA getting down to the Stadium to get a refund.
“Nobody’s Fault But Mine” sounded really great. Loud as f@ck.
I just realized I’m the only one left alive of the people I went to this show with. A lot of people with no “off” switch back then.
I was the only one who left town to go to school. Definitely saved my life.
Keep on keepin’ on, rock & roll people!
Thank you for sharing.
Hot Ticket... LZ's entire 1977 Tour sold out quickly Everywhere, including Chicago.
Thanks for listening to the podcast...
Huge Zeppelin fan here, but then if you are watching this I'm sure y'all are as well. This is first show of that tour, Page had just broken his pinky finger on left hand, hence the Jack Daniel's medicinal therapy. All my fellow Zep fans check out "Earl's Court 1975". Best 70's Era footage.
I once fired bottle rockets in the old Boston Gardens. 🤣
LZ played 3 songs in Tampa Stadium in the '70's and ditched the show because it rained for a few minutes. Bastards. Caused a major riot and substantial property damage.
1977 - Led Zeppelin, the Biggest Band in the World...
They could have easily done an all Stadium Tour if they had chose to.
TO ME, they sound like they are playing with some real Balls before Pagey has to retire for the evening. The visuals are among the BEST Ever for Bootleg Zeppelin video! Eye Thank Yew!
Long Live Led Zeppelin!!
I cant wait for this Wanda!

This is so Great!!
Saw them in Chicago in 1977, can't confirm if it was this night or one of the earlier shows. My most vivid memory is the opening - stage is dark, Jimmy hits and holds the first note of SRTS and the spotlight comes on over him - he's got the double neck Gibson and was wearing that white dragon outfit. What a great showman
After reading other comments, I can say this was NOT the night I went. They played a full show when I was there
I was at the show the next night, which was Easter Sunday. I remember the opening as being exactly as you describe it with the concert opening with The Song Remains the Same. They played for a little over 3 hours on Easter Sunday. It was an awesome performance. Whenever one of the three friends who went to the concert with me would visit my house over the next several years, I always blasted SRTS on the stereo in memory of that concert.
I seen them April 15th in st.louis. 6 days later front row, in the ol barn where the blues played. Awesome show☮️
Jimmy hung in their for as long as he could. You can clearly see that he was not feeling well. A real rock star in every sense of the word. Fantastic seeing a clearer longer synced version of this footage. This website and ledzepfilm have delivered more Zeppelin footage than Jimmy ever did. The fans come through in the clutch once again~
Rob/Boston
New era in Zep comunity!!!!
Long live Speedy!
Great Chicago Fire goes visual. And of course we all want more. Thanks for making this available to everyone who craves it.
Amazing, phenomenal. This is like uncovering holy, lost treasure. Thank you very much for generously uploaded this video 😊
Actually was at 2 of those 4 shows! 🤘
Thank you to all involved for this upgrade!
My favorite part is in the guitar solo of No Quarter. Bonham’s guitar player stands right in front of the bass drum for a while. Iconic. 😉
It's such a fantastic Footage, we thank You so much, for sharing this with us....
I hope that it bring's more People, who have such Holy Grails in they're Vault's to the Point, to share they're Footage with the worldwide living
Led Zeppelin Community....
We are waiting for....
Le(d)t the Zeppelin fly.....
A Thumb 👍 for this from Germany and the verry
best Greetings 😉 send's Henry again
fantastic footage wish i would been there
super fantastic show,long live led zeppelin.
Thank you to everyone involved for putting this together. Cheers
Although it was a very sub par + short Zep gig due to Page's health, I'd still take this gig over any of the bands/gigs that I have seen. Was just too young to see Zep live....
If you could only capture 1 of these 4 Chicago shows, this was definitely the most special--preserving the "5 minute break" announcement!
Greatest
Of
All
Time
I know Jim wasn’t well tonight - for whatever the reason. Drugs don’t discriminate and it’s a shame that it was robbing him during these years. I have to say though it’s always nice to see Bonzo in action in all these newly surfaced Speedy films. Thank you so much for letting us see em!
Great film from legendary show!!! Fantastic!!!
The legendary show is from the next night. This show was ill fated because of Jimmy's collapse, but, nevertheless, it started off as a very good show.
@@greg6276 I know
Damn.. TOTALLY FUKIN AWESOME!! ROCK ON SPEEDY !!! 💯💥🤘
Speedy спасибо Вам за Вашу работу! Speedy thank you for your GREAT JOB! And For Montreal 75 thank you too! 👌👍❣
Look at poor Pagey. Just trying to finish the song😢
Yes hurts my heart
The mighty Zep. They knew and I never saw it but knew it when I saw it! Mighty!
"Step back in time and witness the power of an AI-generated description that lists several songs not played at the concert"
The description is false, thank you for the footage and everything though. They did not play Stairway to heaven, kashmir or whole lotta love Jimmy was ill and the show ended after Ten Years Gone
Sick or dosed?
Zepp was a shell of themselves on this tour. Page and Bonham should have just gone into rehab after it was cancelled.
The descriptions are AI generated lol
@@ledzepfilm for some odd reason
@@danielcaballerochipa3721 lets say both
It was a 2 in. thick center cut pork chop that did Jimmy in. Prior to the show the band went to Chicagos famed "Southside Chop House" It was undercooked. Not the M80 and Jack.
I was at this show.... on the night that had to end early cause Page was ill. Decades later I would learn that he was addicted to heroin at this time in his life .
My birthday, some years before and I always listen to this show on that date. Shame it was cut short lol
I was there at that concert. People were pretty pissed off
A real shame as the band was hot that night and I thought Jimmy's playing was not just great, but imaginative. He was tossing around new phrasings in SIBLY & NQ which were fresh. Everything was on point until the first solo in TYG when you see he is confused and really out of it. Somehow, he fumbles through it...kinda but then soldiers through, and turns out a couple of good last solos before ending the song. Jimmy was on the damn floor barely coherent and he was still gonna finish that damn song! That is pretty impressive. Not sure if anyone noticed but Page drank from a large, clear bottle at the beginning of NQ. If someone dosed him through that bottle it would have kicked in during TYG. It would be one thing if Page was for shit from the get-go, but he was playing an excellent show as were the rest of the band. I know Jimmy had his demons, but in this case I don't think was Page's fault, I think he was dosed.
Page was a heroin addict at this time, that’s what you’re seeing.
I was sitting with my six friends in the 8th row, smack down the middle. Loud as hell...but I loved it. Jimmy looked like he was not feeling well. The roadies got a chair for him to sit on. Jimmy could barely stand. The band all walked off. Robert Plant came back to the stage after 20 minutes and either he or the house announcer said: '' Jimmy is not feeling well due to food poisoning.'' I think Jimmy had too much liquor and drugs that night. They played close to 7 songs. They did refund our money. To make things worse, I took photos of the show and had them enlarged. My mom ( who was a religious fanatic) shred them in pieces, believing they were Devil worshippers with their long hair and clothes.
Food poisoning was just fronting on the real JP problem ... Too much liquor and heroin ...
That is hilarious (or not). I know because my mom hated those days. She hated that all her friends kids were straight arrows and me and my brothers jammed with the rockers and jazz peeplez. She used to do regular sweeps of our bedrooms and towards the end of my senior year (1978), she started going through my photo albums and removed every picture of me with long hair or playing with friends, parties we played at, concerts- burned it all. In her mind, I guess if there weren’t pictures, she could pretend it didn’t happen.
Hey-about this show. I was on the main floor too, further back and I don’t know about you, but I was a little nervous about how that exit was going to go.
I took a girl to a show at the International Amphitheater either just before this or just after. Rick Derringer warmed up for Kansas and after Rick did a couple of encores, some scuffle broke out between some main floor folks and the first side mezz level and a
chair war broke out with every folding chair getting thrown down, then back up. I had to get on top of this girl (not a bad thing) so she didn’t get clocked in the noggin’
That place and the Aragon Brawlroom were always an adventure 🤣.
Thanks for the memories. 👍🏼🙏
@@psaint60 Don't forget, Led Zeppelin played 4 shows at the Chicago Stadium in 1977. That was an injustice for the 18,000 fans that night ( who never acted hostile towards the cancelled concert.) They did refund our money ( which was generous of them since they did play one hour). But, we do know Led Zeppelin always played 3- 4 hour shows.
@@sal5027 Yeah, I remember trying to find the set lists from the other shows, and of course the anticipation grows as you’re reading reviews of the other shows. We were really looking forward to it.
But even at 17, I had seen enough crowds go bad for various reasons that I wanted to get out of there ASAP after we got the bad news. I was glad once people voiced their initial displeasure/frustration, people just left.
If I remember correctly, I think the Andy Frain Ushers were working the Stadium that night. Those guys were the goon squad that kept the peace during Blackhawks hockey games, so maybe they helped keep things from escalating.
And unlike today, people didn’t go into the neighborhood to cause problems. Especially not in 1977 at Madison & Wood. 🤣
IS LED ZEPPELIN !
no way did i miss out on this
I saw Jimmy page get sick during ten years gone i see Jimmy page sit down during ten years gone
Was at this show.
It's utterly ridiculous to say that this show captures them at "the height of their prowess" when Jimmy was too sick to play and the show was suspended. That's like saying that Bonham was at the top of his game in Nuremburg, June 27, 1980. I only kiss LZ ass when it's warranted.
It's a standard description created by AI... bit lazy, isn't it
@@patricksommer3971 Very lazy!
and the drugs dont work they just make you worse but i know ill see your face again
@@patricksommer3971created by AI? I'm done. I'm unsubscribing. Screw the AI crap. They need to be humans and do things themselves.
Saw Zep n this tour June 19 in San Diego. Great show. 20 songs including the acoustic set in the middle. Jimmy was fine, This was the first show on the west coast and they had a five day break after the New York run
Was at the NYC run. They played 5 of 6 nights at the Garden. Lucked out and got 3rd row seats too . Amazing.
1977 I saw Zep perform in Maryland ❤
The many other live videos of Zep exist its a matter of the collectors to release them. Fkn shame tbh they horde the footage and MANY boots that ZEP-HEADS want to see.
Didn't realize this was the aborted show til the end of the vid, but it sure started out looking a bit sus.
Pretty cool that this gentleman Speedy was able to capture some film, but I feel a bit bad that he happened to catch this show.
Nice work LedZepFilms for the usual sync job.
I’m old enough to remember the 80s when virtually no one was interested in this band. How times have changed.
Page was dope sick..end of story
💯
Al publico se le debe dar un buen concierto, lo que no paso Jimmy estaba totalmente drogado y el cantante Robert Plan lo único que hizo fue
Haciendo movimientos que demostraba que era gay, no dieron.un buen espectaculo
Cannot see how this footage does Zep any favours. Page is obviously in trouble from the get-go. Sub standard is being kind to say the least.
Clarity is exceptional. What is the provenance with this footage?
My hero beginning his struggle and fade.
Fingers seem so uncooperative since '77, , with a few exceptions and now his talent is kaput.
Surely he can strum, butbthat may be a stretch.
Again, so sad.
Saw him 5x since and including the Firm....i knowcwhat i saw and heard.
Ledhead since 71.
I always wondered why they didn’t find a place to detox Jimmy during this era and Bonham for that matter Grant was an enabler and it destroyed the greatest band ever
Whaaat ??? Pagey STILL has it today I would bet ! He sure had it 02 arena in 07
@@blndrckrPage was fantastic and right on, in his solo 1988 Outrider tour.
The upside was I got to watch Jimmy Page puke in a bucket. According to Robert Plant, Page drank 7 tequila sunrises before the show. That's tantamount to telling 17,000 people to piss off.
Dope sick?
Let's be real, Jimmy was dope sick from heroin addiction. That is why the show was cut short. 1977 the beginning of the end for the Mighty Zepp. 😖
What a crazy tour that was ... Heroin and liquor problems ... Peter Grant's security entourage acting more like mobsters getting arrested and treating the press like shit ... Cancelled shows ... The tour actually got started a month later than it was supposed to .. And tragically , Robert Plant loses a son and it's over.
@@72phinatic 💯
22:42 bloody hell Jimmy...smh.. hes out,then hes like "oh fukc!" he really sucked during this show/ song.
LZ had the money and resources to film many of their shows. And, sadly, the band didn't do so. Ugh.
Presence was a the glam-guitar album, but would've been cool to have a barrel house piano rocker on it from Jones
I was at this show. When I tell guys, I saw Zeppelin, they want to buy my ticket stub.
Same here (3rd row at the garden) from that same tour. Most are amazed when they see just the stub.
Jimmy Page…the White Wizard!
This was not their best, Jimmy was hooked by 77
Do not miss this TOMORROW!!! th-cam.com/video/cbBLgsuRfkM/w-d-xo.html
Notification is def ON for this. Thanks for all of these!
Jimmy’s guitar is plugged in?
I think so, I said the same thing. It's sad seeing him nodding out, sitting down by bonzo..smh..21:30 you can hear him really fukcing up. 22:42 on he right Jimmy's out if it.
Smokin
The audio sucks so bad I can't even hear the opening song. Maybe it's my hearing, I don't know.
Luckily I traded my Sat tic for thurs
Jimmy had
Banana Daiquiri Flu as the press called it
LED US TOUR 77
That’s the last time Pagey eats at Uno’s… 🍕 💩
En este concierto mucha gente se dio cuenta que Robert Plan era gay, que lo que decían de el era verdad y aun estaba casado con la señora Mauren y muchos dicen que los que colaboraban con el grupo tuvieron sexo con el hasta el manager
I think this is where Jimmy Page dressed as a storm trooper. 🤔
Stormtrooper outfit was the next night April 10th. He wore white outfit on 9th April and the show ended after one hour as Page was ill.
He wore it more than once.
@@richardkeller4193 No you're thinking of the dragon suit. Stormtrooper was just 1 day, which one I don't know. 😑
@@HBO1984. No, I'm not. I've been collecting LZ boots since 1986. I know the difference. In fact, I was the 3rd person to have the 4/9 video, I've had it since 1989. It went from taper to his friend to me. I'd have to go back and look, but this isn't the only time he wore it in 1977.
@@richardkeller4193 So you been hoarding that footage? Shame on you. 😑. A true Led Head shares with all right away.
Probably they had a shitty monitor mix too. It doesn’t sound like Page is even playing the same song a lot of this show. Heroin, coke in the wrong combo too close to show time. Yikes. Touring sucks sometimes. Especially for an addict.
En este concierto se ve como Robert Plan era homosexual gay y se le ofrecía a Boham el baterísta y mucha gente se dio cuenta de eso y criticaron y dijeron que un concierto era para ofrecer musica y no paea o
Que pesar utilizara esos conciertos para ofrecerse a los hombres demostrando que era gay homosexual y no lo utilizaba para ofrecer un espectáculo que ofreciera su música a los espectadores
Page was off. He was walking weird and barely moved. Kind of like how Xanax addicts look. Must have been quaaludes
Heroin mate..22:31 and on you can see page sitting down nodding against bonzo..🤯 Smh..fukced up it is.
Nice to finally see page is too F’d up to play. They TYG SOLO, maaaan. I couldn’t imagine whatever hit him hitting him like that.
Rumored he was in a liquid diet of strawberry daks, and heroin oh an occasional banana. Said he was having a good issue this tour tour along with his H addiction
Why do people post these crappy sounding concerts?
It's better than nothing mate. I mean the person recording this back then didn't have is iPhone I guess..🤯
Garbage
LZ without studio support do not have that edge, there were way better bands playing live in those times
Pretty ignorant comment. Zeppelin were one of the best live bands. On this show Page was dope sick, but every band has had some bad shows. How can you judge a whole band like that? Zeppelin played many legendary shows worthy to be remembered.
That’s interesting to hear both sides of this POV. I was at this show and although I was a fan , I wasn’t as diehard as some of you guys.
I do remember growing up and hearing Led Zep fans that loved the studio work but thought the live stuff was, “meh”.
The thought was, it was like going to see the Beatles and expecting to hear note for note renditions of the Sgt. Pepper material.
This was also the caveat for many of the “jam” bands of that time that I saw. You could count on bands like the Dead, Allman Bros, Derek & The Dominos, Weather Report, etc. were going to use the songs you were familiar with as the jumping off point. They always pushed the creative envelope and sometimes that resulted in magic and sometimes it just never gelled and was less than great. Everyone knew that and so everyone was along for the ride to see where it went.
I remember Bobby Whitlock saying that D&D never played a song the same way twice. “Why would you?” he said. I’ve heard other less PC musicians say “if all you want to hear is the record, stay home and listen to the record.”
Recently I stumbled onto some old Zeppelin live stuff here on YT that looked like it was from some BBC program, probably before they hit it big and it was some great, in your face, straight up blues jam stuff and they were absolutely killing it.
I guess my point is, people like what they like. There’s always haters. And if you try to make everyone happy, you will probably end up making no one happy-especially yourself.
Wrong again.
Sounds like a typical Page performance to me. Sorry to say 🤷♂️
If you really believe that, then you haven't listened a Zeppelin live show on a good night when Jimmy was ON.
@@greg6276I don't know about that... maybe before 1975 after his heroin got a hold of him, he's playing really suxed mate...look at him 22:43 he's out of it till he realized. That's good playing? The whole song ten years gone he was shite.. speeding, just a sloppy guitar player.
Terrible sound stop wasting people's ears yo !!!!
I guess the bloke who recorded this back then didn't have his iPhone... what do you want mate it's mostly a copy of a copy of a copy. It's still cool to watch even if they sucked that night.
Led Zeppelin eran cuatro personas ..?? No pueden ponerse enfermos x el motivo que sea??. Pues claro que Si!!! ? Quien no ha estado enfermo alguna vez??. Ademas, creo...que tocar musica d esta forma tan Verdadera, brutal....y dulce, todas las variantes d nuestro ser...delante d miles d personas, varios dias seguidos....!!! No creo que sea facil!!! Mucha responsabilidad!! ( Si, ya sabemos que era Su Trabajo y cobraban x ello)...? Quien trabaja gratis? ? Quien no se puede enfermo e manera inoportuna?. Bueno...Greetings from Pamplona ( ESPAÑA).
How did they get a super 8 in there and so close to the band with Peter Grant??? Those 8mm cameras w/sound were pretty good size!
I was going to post this exact question. I don't get it.
Looks like Jimmy needs a fix
22:42 he looks like he needs a shot of narcan..smh.. bloody ridiculous. Disrespectful to your band mates and audience... being strung out on heroin like that yea. Great band but this show was dreadful yea.
Garbage
Go away
