The Led Zeppelin song so difficult that they refused to play it live

  • Led Zeppelin were never ones to step down from a musical challenge. Although their sound was rooted in the simple three-chord structure of the blues, the band contained three of the most technically gifted musicians of all time, along with one of the most versatile vocalists ever. There wasn’t much that Led Zeppelin couldn’t handle.

    I've seen Zeppelin play in Chicago twice early '70's and they blew the roof off the joint both times. There hasn't been another group that i've seen that rocked the house as they did.

      And I had quite the opposite experience. Although the Destroyer bootleg was recorded at the Richfield Coliseum in '77 and is a superb sounding recording, I was dissapointed that night. Owe it to the acoustics of the cavernous venue or my high expectations, but it sounded "off" most of the night. But, hey, it was zeppelin and I was lucky enough to have seen them.

    'Four Sticks' is one of my favorite Zep songs. Plant's schreeching, howling lyrics, and Page's 1-2-3-4 electric riff with that echoing acoustic change-up! In me, it evoked images of misty ocean cliffs and dark forests- 'And when the owls cry in the night, oh baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry..." A truly magical song. And of course Bonham and Jones in the rhythm section. Simply, and complexly, amazing! TMK, this great song was never played on commercial radio. [edit. 'schreeching'] hehe...

There are things in life that are known to an individual conscious mind from birth. It breathes and learns from it's conception into adulthood to a point where it's own formative lessons become, in a sense, reality, around 22 for male and 20 for female. Once beyond this critical point it becomes exponentially harder for said individual to see beyond their self created mentality/reality. Not necessarily a criticism in itself to any human since it was most specifically created in such a way for this and among other, functions.
      Since the Ego is by it's perfectly designed mechanism unable to view itself and it's resulting actions, it instead looks for validation by other means. It seeks like a dying man of thirst or a man dying of thirst whichever way you would like to read it, (or woman 2023 hommes) walking through a barren desert with no end and no sustenance, a way to continue. Continuity cannot be achieved alone in a vacuum. Being locked in a room alone for an extended period of time usually causes extreme mental breakdown, although it may be said while being distressing to an individual it can often cause said individual to momentarily release themselves*, from their ego, thus glimpsing in a breath paradise, however it is visualized on the individuals cultural level. The same moment of realisation it is said can be achieved many different ways, although it is interesting to note how often we, if I may say we, hear it is a moment of extreme distress that shunts the mind into a different way of thinking, such a measure being required after the aforementioned passing of age.
      It is also very interesting that perhaps every single person in history (let's start a group and ban that word cuz we got nuthin better to do)that has travelled the veil and returned, within all cultures throughout time has one defining word they bring back from the netherworld. Love. This being the case, it would surely benefit any person to attempt, hard as it may seem, to be mindful of their actions and interactions in this regard. Since the starting point must always be ignorance for any inquisitive mind that may have an inkling hovering in the back of somewhere they can't remember, as it was is and will forever be for me if I could only think what it was I was thinking.

They said the same about 'when the levee breaks', which was performed only in very few occasions during the 1975 europe tour I believe.

      They had issue with In the Light because they could not get the keyboard sound right live as the equipment needed would have been too cumbersome to take on the road. Levee did not work live for the same reason, too many effects which could not be satisfactorily reproduced live. If they could have stuck around to the mid-80's the gear would have caught up and they could have played both songs live. Oh well.

    these guys were alright. there studio work had so much over-dubbing they couldnt reproduce it live. i dont know if some people believe louder is better but any live work i have heard from them sounded like a lot of really loud noise. bonham had a difficult time finding a band that wanted him as a member. sorry i do not agree with many of you.
    im 63 and have heard many bands from this time period that i feel were leaps and bounds better live than zep. i do appreciate their studio music and recording abilities. even though the drums are not as technical i put the band wishbone ash (and other bands) over zep in a live performance. at the least the guitar sounds and licks were more like their studio work.
    plant would follow small faces around and kind of steal the sound of steve marriot. the song whole lotta love sounds like one previously done from small faces and they had some issues with copying other bands as well.

    I absolutely love Four Sticks and has long been one of my favorite Zep somgs. I don't get it and when I heard about this the first time I couldn't believe it. Maybe because I liked the song so much but I've played this song for years and have never had a problem doing it right every time and I'm no musical genius, it must be the drums that are difficult idk? I'm just really baffled that this song was such a problem for them to recreate live....... I would have thought it to be one of the easier songs to do. What do I know???

    Personally, I don't don't think it was too much for the band. More likely it was too much for Robert's voice on a nightly basis. It's about as high as he ever sang. By 73, he's routinely ducking the high parts of Over the Hills and Far Away.

    I'm not sure what makes this song so difficult in your view. It's quite simple, musically, and not complicated rhythmically. For Plant, sure, this became impossible for him to sing after 1973, at least not without dodging and substituting the high notes for lower notes.

    I saw them back in 71. To be honest the gig was pretty atrocious, the sound was unbalanced, loads of echo and thousands of fluffed notes. They were great when they played Chuck Berry but they weren't so great playing their own material outside the studio. I think the sheer volume fooled a lot of people into having a good time (because they were probably deaf).

    we saw Zep twice and they sucked both times. Their records have a ton of overdubs on them and that's why the records sound good. But their live sound was weak as water. When Page switched from rhythm to lead and Jones moved from bass to keyboards it left big holes in the sound. I hope they don't reunite now. I'd go see the Macarena guys before I'd ever see Zep again. I know that will upset their fans but that's what my experience with them was like in their heyday.
