From Jimmy Page's website - recorded on March 14, 1969 - "The band ethic during the promo for the first album was to play live on TV and mime on radio. At this Swedish TV show, they wouldn't let us play: we had to mime. I think the level of sarcasm shows through. Robert Plant was brilliant on this one."
jonesy's trying to make it look realistic, bonzo doesn't really give a shit and is just having a hell of a good time, jimmy doesn't want to be there but is doing his best not to show it, and robert is fucking milking it for all it's worth. so damn funny. thanks for the upload!
In Jimmy Page's own words: "The band ethic during the promo for the first album was to play live on TV and mime on radio. At this Swedish TV show, they wouldn't let us play: we had to mime. I think the level of sarcasm shows through. Robert Plant was brilliant on this one." HAHA! Love it!! So defiant.
I’ve watched this video too many times to count!! I Love how Robert is making fun of having to lip sync!! They didn’t want to lip sync, and you can tell!!! Led Zeppelin was my favorite band in the 70’s, and they still are at 62 yrs old!! Led Zeppelin Forever!! ❤️🎼🎸
Go watch an actual live performance of this song, and you'll find it amazing. Here they're just miming against their own will, hence Page's sarcasm and Plant's nutty antics. EDIT: here you go th-cam.com/video/3eC8ASAnzhM/w-d-xo.html
When I was 11 years old I asked my parents for my first CD they came back with Led Zeppelin ll I played the hell out of that CD. When I turned 12 I took some of my birthday money and bought Led Zeppelin l my attitude before I bought Led Zeppelin's l was nothing could rock as hard as ll. I was wrong, Led Zeppelins l has Good Times Bad Times, Dazed and Confused Communication Break down and other legendary cuts on there.... the first two albums is what made me a Zeppelin fan.
Great post, thanks! Excellent early example of Led Zeppelin's unmatched power. Robert is certainly enjoying himself. Jimmy doesn't even look the same as he did in The Yardbirds. He finally has a band together that fits his vision and the rest is history.
As horribly bad this promo video was, it's still better than all those Beatles promos back in the early sixties. Some of those, Ringo didn't even have a drum kit, they give him some odd things to play with. One time it was a stationary bike.
Fun to watch, but thank goodness there is some amazing "real" live Zep footage out there. Also, the group vocals on the outro makes me wish the boys did more harmonies- they all had good voices!
@@andyandy3075 He has an angelic look about him...soft and gorgeous ...he hasn’t aged particularly well though, he still has that confidence about him though...🙏🏻
I've got this video on a CD called Early Days Best Of Vol.1. It was called an Enhanced CD. You had to download the software on the CD on your computer to see the video. I think this was before DVD's & certainly long before TH-cam.
Bonham taught me to play the drums in the 80's, as a 16 year old kid who took up the drums. First kit was a Ludwig pieced together 5 piece White Marine Pearl with NO cymbals. All my hi-hat parts and rides were rimshots lol...for like at least 6 months until Christmas when my mother (despite my father's opposition) had love and mercy enough to get me at least hi-hats and a ride. Turned out to be come vintage Zildjians that were somewhere between 1929-53 or 1957-1969--I wish I still had them but sold everything in 1993 in order to help provide for our first child. Then 12 years without a kit :-( My wonderful high-school sweetheart wife (pictured in my avatar) let me buy a new kit in 2005 so now I have a custom maple/birch Dave Conaway 7 piece fusion kit with the Sabian Peart Paragon cymbals and about 10 other cymbals including Zildjian and Paiste I have sourced over the years. Unfortunately it's all in storage due to our small living conditions because the rent in the Portland area is astronomical and I still have 3 of 6 kiddos at home.
My drums were in storage for many years, too. Cost me more to store them than to buy them... lol Now I keep them in a spare bedroom in my apartment but still can't play them because it's way too loud for an apartment. I would sell them but in the era of digital and electronic drums, nobody wants to buy a drum set.😢
This's one my favourite songs...the greatest rock band all the time...but I also heard Black Sabbath ,Iron Maiden & Judas Priest...best regards from Indonesia!
To all these folks who keep asking ‘where is the real audio??’ you’re listening to it because they are LIP SYNCING. They mimed to the studio track and the footage afterwards is dubbed with the SAME track! Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING live was performed here. And it’s obvious when looking at it. Instruments aren’t plugged in, Bonham barely hits the drums in spots, Page barely ‘plays’ the guitar during the solo (he even comes in late when the song starts), the group is laughing a few times here, Plant is clearly talking to Page during the solo. All tell tale signs this is MIMED. And if that ain’t proof let’s here it from Page himself (and to be fair at least two or three other people shared this comment on this video). "The band ethic during the promo for the first album was to play live on TV and mime on radio. At this Swedish TV show, they wouldn't let us play: we had to mime. I think the level of sarcasm shows through. Robert Plant was brilliant on this one." It’s lip sync, folks. Accept it.
most don't comment on Bonzo playing a double bass drum kit. I believe this kit was a clone of Carmine Appice's set up. Bonham was huge fan of Carmine Appice. They both sound almost the same.
He didn't - this was just a notable exception for the sake of the music video. He had a double bass drum set-up for a few gigs in August 1969 but that's about it.
I have the unedited broadcast master of this. 60 minutes. The credit/introduction to the TV show is cool, and unfortunately when they released this they cut out the beginning of this video which showed a guy using a jackhammer which really set up the opening riff quite nicely. Mekki Mark Men also perform on the show, a very cool Swedish psyche band a little bit like a cross between Pink Floyd and Hendrix.
why is bonham playing the ride during the verse when we all hear hats? @0:34 the stick twirl was way hip and cool and risky...he was flawless on that one...also one of the first drummers to play the crash/ride as time...alex van halen gets a lot of credit for this...he can thank bonzo for the idea.
get it...he still mimed his own song incorrectly...on purpose? he played the song. maybe guilt over the fact Page ripped off most of these songs? fact.
+LedZepfilm yeah...Miming was probably new to them and they weren't exactly sure what to do. Lol! With as many years as I've played I'd still probably clam up and get awkward if I had to mime.
It was pretty well-known that all the English rock stars were bisexual, I don't think this comment is too far-fetched. There was that one incident when their hotel caught on fire and when they went in John Paul Jones's room, he was there with a black man and both of them were sleeping with their pants down in their dongs hanging out. You make your own decision on that.
Oye, chica, para lo que estás haciendo Oye, chica, me vas a llevar a la ruina No se que es lo que me gusta de ti Pero se que me gusta mucho Porque no me dejas abrasarte Déjame sentir los encantos del amor Comunicación ruptura Siempre es lo mismo Comunicación ruptura Me vuelve loco Oye, chica, tengo algo que debes saber Oye, bebé, quiero decir que te amo mucho Quiero abrazarte en mis brazos Nunca te voy a dejar ir Porque amo tus encantos Comunicación ruptura Siempre es lo mismo Comunicación ruptura Me vuelve loco.
The only one that can't completely fake it is the drummer......anyone that has owned and played Led Zeppelin I since 1969 knows what the tv station had then do here. Should have had Bonham on camera more just to see what he does.

How do you mime on radio??
Jim Rafferty - Could you kindly elaborate on how anyone on this fantastic planet can MIME on the RAAAAYDIO!!! LOL'S...
Page was being funny or he meant nobody gonna see you lipsync when ur asked to 'play' at the station
Aw i thought they were cool in this vid. I’m disappointed that’s it’s ironic 😂
@@BassManDan1018 they're still cool being serious or completely ironic
jonesy's trying to make it look realistic, bonzo doesn't really give a shit and is just having a hell of a good time, jimmy doesn't want to be there but is doing his best not to show it, and robert is fucking milking it for all it's worth. so damn funny. thanks for the upload!
I think drummers always look that way in vids because they cannot hit the drums hard since they are lip syncing! haha
Возвращение как всегда в молодость и радость как всегда, что мы это не только слышим но и видим!!!!!! И самое странное так все и представлялось!!!!!!

HAHA! Love it!! So defiant.
"hey girl stop what you doing and listen to led zep"
Noah caster I AM BABY😂✊🏾❤️
Oh yeah
I’ve watched this video too many times to count!! I Love how Robert is making fun of having to lip sync!! They didn’t want to lip sync, and you can tell!!! Led Zeppelin was my favorite band in the 70’s, and they still are at 62 yrs old!! Led Zeppelin Forever!! ❤️🎼🎸
In my humble opinion, the greatest debut album in rock n roll history. My favorite album by Led Zeppelin also
'Are You Experienced' would qualify for that title as well.
@@bholaoates1542 definitely a contender for that title! That was probably the most groundbreaking rock album at the time in terms of guitar playing
FUCKING RIGHT.
bruh.... Man, Boston debut album is pretty damn good too. Look at all those hit on that album.
Love Bonzo's drumstick twirl and Jimmy's back up vocals. Such a wild performance but the musician's skills are very obvious. Blast from the past!
best part
Kaycee Rose Thank fuck the experts weighed in. I can get on with my life now 😁
Go watch an actual live performance of this song, and you'll find it amazing. Here they're just miming against their own will, hence Page's sarcasm and Plant's nutty antics.
EDIT: here you go th-cam.com/video/3eC8ASAnzhM/w-d-xo.html
Jimmy Page backed Robert Plant a lot, live and in studio. Check your facts, dude.
And this isn't lip-sync, it's just a promo video with the live recording. This song can't be lip-synced with these 4 people.
Plant was being a troll on purpose during this video shoot 😂
IMAGINE BEING A TROLL AND STILL HAVING SUCH A FUCKING AMAZING VOICE HOLY SHIT HE IS AMAZING
@@baselbilleh8555 i mean… yeah he has a good voice but this wasn’t a live performance lol
@@ctrlshiftqq9846 he sounds the same in the live performances, especially in the early days
@@CDVlogschannel not on all of them. if anything, he sounded better on a few of them. (spokane 1968 for example)
The way John spins the stick looks like a windmill on a windy day
I wish they could've stayed young forever...
I need more Led Zeppelin promo videos for science please
1:23+
Spyridon Kaprinis
1:55 is better than this.
GOD These guys were fucking great.....................
BEST BAND EVER !!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
From the moment i played Led Zeppelin’s first album when i was 16 i was hooked on this band
Those early years were so much fun! GO BONZO!
Watching page sing backup is unfathomably badass
50 years old & still kicks ass
That stick twirl damn 🤗

Dig'n Bonham and his double bass drum. Thunder of the gods
I was born 20 years and one week after that. lol...
Led Zepprlin are kings.
They are
Diogo Leonardo COOL DIOGO ZEPPELIN ARE NOT LEGENDS THEY ARE ROCK KINGS AND PIONEERS ✊🏾
You are same age as me
Well, it's visible on Jimmy's face! He's not a happy dude on this show....
They had to mime it
That's a promo video, with playback
Playback was not his thing.
Yeah. He likes performing, not pretending.
Rock On! Led Zeppelin 🎸
I love you so as well!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Sweeeeeet Jimmy ! singing!😊 Everytime I watch it -goose bumps...
As horribly bad this promo video was, it's still better than all those Beatles promos back in the early sixties. Some of those, Ringo didn't even have a drum kit, they give him some odd things to play with. One time it was a stationary bike.
So young and so long ago. The best there was and is
This song was heavy back in 69’
still lovin it! I had the vinyl in the 70s, never knew this video existed till 5 months ago
Fun to watch, but thank goodness there is some amazing "real" live Zep footage out there. Also, the group vocals on the outro makes me wish the boys did more harmonies- they all had good voices!
Hard rock 🖤🤘
I love love love the rawness of the young Led Zeppelin from Led Zeppelin 1. Communication Breakdown, with Pagey's downpicking, is almost proto-Punk.
It was the inspiration for Johnny Ramone's downstrum....true story.
OMG! Just, wonderful! Bonzo, OMG! 🥁🎸🎤🎹❤
Officially on Jimmy's website, we love ya Jimmy! :D
Bonham is a fuckin' GOD!!
I JUST CAME BACK TO SAY I LOVE THEM 😁 BACK TO QUARANTINE NOW ✊🏾
Am I the only drummer here seeing that Bonham is playing the cymbal from the top then from the underside. Holy hell that's hilarious!
James Hutchence Oh cool!
Carmine Appice did this before Bonham as did Buddy Rich. It's a cool thing to watch
SHHHHHH THE MASTERS AT WORK❤
Gold....love the early Zepp....can"t get enough!
I wish we could hear bonham actually play that kit with the double bass
0:58- Robert cute and gorgeous❤...
Extremely
@@andyandy3075 He has an angelic look about him...soft and gorgeous ...he hasn’t aged particularly well though, he still has that confidence about him though...🙏🏻
que bueno esto uuuuufffffff

Good grief those "Early Daze" front covers were lame! The band superimposed in NASA space suits?
Led Zeppelin super Robert Plant and Jimmy Page John Paul Jones good luck. Jon Bohem светлая память. Led zepfilm good luck
Love when Led Zep gets saucy..
1:24 Just a single hit snare drum break...perfectly paced.
AWESOME.......................
you see music change in this video, its a new day

Bonzo with with two bass drums is something out of my nightmares
un tema notable un tema de lujo grande led zeppelin
still amazing . . .
I've never seen Jimmy Page sing before!
He's the one you hear singing backup on the song "Thank You"
Tinker Diggens tangerine live also
Wificationish Jimmy were wrote that song from personal reasons...
Aleks S. Yes was going to be a yardbirds song orginally
Wificationish yes and they have similar demo Knowing i lose you, if i remember good...
love love love Robert!!

Almost all t.v. appearances were faked back then. Most bands hated doing it but it gave them tons of exposure.
John Bonham is the best drummer xD.
Oscar Mejia *was
Oscar Mejia. Keith también es uno de los mejores. Pero apoyo tu comentario
most don't comment on Bonzo playing a double bass drum kit. I believe this kit was a clone of Carmine Appice's set up. Bonham was huge fan of Carmine Appice.
They both sound almost the same.
robert plant is so handsome my golly!
This is great! I love it!
I wish we could go back in time..
Bonham at 1:22........YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!
And we still love you,
More this year than last year,
But not as much as tomorrow,
I mean next year!
Começava a grande e eterna trajectória dos criadores do rock pauleira pura magia ó diabo é ó pai do rock 🤘
I always said Bonham started off with a double bass drum and most said I was wrong, but this video proofs it.
He didn't - this was just a notable exception for the sake of the music video. He had a double bass drum set-up for a few gigs in August 1969 but that's about it.
Could Robert sing, or what?
His voice is just amazing
2:06 AAA JIMMY TE AMO
esta canción es la mejor del mundo!
bonzo's double 26" bass
Bonham has always looked kind of timeless... If he had slightly longer hair he could've been the drummer in an early 2000's grunge band.
plus he's only 19 or 20 in this video.
First saw this on TOTP2.
Strongly suspect this is dubbed after the fact but it's wonderful footage and playing. Epic bonzo stick twirl at 1:20
It is dubbed afterwards but nonetheless they were miming to the track.
Joder que perfecta esta rola y la mejor banda de hard rock
amo como les re acercan la cámara aaa

Some day.
Does this broadcast have any more of Led Zeppelin than shown here? Even if it's a few seconds at the end or something, I'm interested.
Sounds cool and interesting. An upload would indeed be nice if given the chance. Thanks for the info.!
Double Bass Drums!?!?!?!? XD
why is bonham playing the ride during the verse when we all hear hats? @0:34

+Jeff Porcaro Groove Master Because the group is miming to the song. It's a promo video.
get it...he still mimed his own song incorrectly...on purpose? he played the song. maybe guilt over the fact Page ripped off most of these songs? fact.
No, because Zeppelin never played one song the same way twice. Plus, I'm sure they didn't like miming very much.
+LedZepfilm yeah...Miming was probably new to them and they weren't exactly sure what to do. Lol! With as many years as I've played I'd still probably clam up and get awkward if I had to mime.
Read the vídeo description, this has had audio subbed over the original
Dat telecaster...
This is like the only time I've ever seen Bonzo behind a double bass drum kit.
Great Bonzo!!
Increíble!! (aunque sea playback)
It's lip-synced. There's no live audio.
John bonham on two bass drums
YB94 Ginger Baker did it first then Keith Moon..
Yes he actually used double bass then switched back to one bass drum and add the second floor Tom
John Bonham - What a legend.
holy fuck fucking fuck, that was good.
john paul jones is my girlfriend and i love him
Andy Stein wut
Andy Stein yeah me too
JPJ IS -transgender- a girl!
Someone better explain this to his wife of 53 years and his 3 daughters then.

No other 18 year olds have ever put out such an Epic Song Ever....🖕

You can see where Great Von Fleet got their inspiration from

Yes of course this is mimed but really freaking cool 🤟😝👍!!
#JimmyPage. #THEMaster
absolutely Crazy.Ah.
but extremely Cool.indeed.
1:00 Uh, I don't think Bonzo is even using a kick/bass drum pedal.
Jerky Treats he don’t need to that’s how bad ass he is
He’s not even playing
Yawn. It's mimed to tape, genius.
I guess that's why they started calling them "kick" drums. With no pedals, you had to kick them to get any sound.... 😜
