- Led Zeppelin has been on my short list of groups to deep dive back into, and Robert Plant's vocals have absolutely enthralled me (I mean, who else can run a string of vowels together to make such melodies?) This live performance truly showcases his vocal talent, and I am so excited all of you upvoted this comment in my last breakdown!

But do you like Led Zeppelin 🤔
Led Zeppelin are NOT in any way whatsoever a metal band.
Hi, if you have a minute, check it out th-cam.com/video/inwmvoZrLsg/w-d-xo.html you might even like it))))🤘
You gotta hear the studio version to get the full knowledge of how much improvision goes into a live show
Could you do a Greta Van Fleet analysis?
Page's guitar is unearthly. Plant's vocals are supernatural. Bonham's drums are exalted. Jone's keyboard mystical. Together - the band of the gods.
Well said. Perfect.
Well said. Perfect.
There is no other comment

@@fishad09 internet rando has hot take, film at 11
She seems like she could be like the girl in front row who is totally getting off on Plant.
@@julrob97 hahah yes exactly!
Plant said in an interview that with the dynamics of the others he had to make his voice another musical instrument. They all keyed off of each other. Bonham said he followed and lead the guitars while they followed and lead him. This was a band of dynamics that fused together instead of over stepping each other. There will never be a band with these dynamics and spontaneous, matching creativity. Led Zepplin will forever be the best.
I will say that even though I think you are absolutely right, it makes me sad to know that we have passed the pinnacle of this kind of performance, that nothing will match it.
каждый великий из вокалистов делает свой голос одним из инструментов,в том числе и Гилан,и Дио,
You said it. Zeppelin is by far the beginning, and greatest band. They are the pinnacle of rock history. Plants voice just brings out the beauty of Pages guitar, Jones keyboard, Bonzos drums. There has to be devine intervention when they all found each other. I started listening to them when 2 came out. I would steal my brother album and listen to them.

@@Auntiep61 Robert Plant was asked to sit in for a singer from another band, pre-Zeppelin, that couldn't make their show. Page was told about his style and went to hear him. Within the first minute of their first rehearsal Page said he knew they were going to be good.
Plant in his prime was the best front man of all time. Zep still gives chills after 40 years of listening. Pure magic and power. This will never be replicated. My biggest regret is that I never got to see them live.
I was lucky to see them twice Mind Blown
Luckily at age 14 I took a ride on the back of a hardtail Sportster 140 mi of old broken concrete 2 Lane State highway to see them in St Louis. On the bike we cut through the lines of cars in order to park and smoked with everybody along the way in the parking lot and the crazy thing was that a good 10% of the people that came to the show were expecting them to sound like their albums and got up and left. That just made more room for us to move forward. Early Zeppelin live was nothing compared to their later live performances but it was still fabulous!
I was lucky enough to catch Page/Plant in the 90s.
The best rock vocalist ever. A blues vocalist by style, but with such an amazing range. I'm 63 now and my biggest regret musically is that i never saw Zepp in concert.
I was fortunate enough to hear them in 69, shortly before the release of their first album. Believe it or not, they were the warm-up act for Vanilla Fudge. I knew Jimmy Page from the Yardbirds, but that's all. I don't have to tell you how they blew everyone, including VF, away. So many people left after Zep, I got to move down to front row for Vanilla Fudge. I've been to many concerts including The Beatles, Stones and even Hendrix, but this is the concert I remember the most.
I might be old, but I got to live through the music of the greatest bands of all time! My daughters always tell me how jealous they are!
Saw them in Adelaide as a teenager…..and, of course, it was brilliant. I dragged my cousin along with me and I’m sure she was thinking, ‘who the hell is this group, am I going to hate it’. Our musical preferences were different at the time as I had already been more into blues and the burgeoning heavy metal scene. Needless to say, she loved it and another fan was created.
Same here, though I'm a couple of years younger than you.
It was days before their Buffalo NY concert, when John Bonham (the BEST drummer that ever lived) passed away. I was supposed to go to that concert. One of life's greatest regrets.
I’m the same age as you, and I totally regret not seeing them live in concert. They take the songs from their albums and slightly change them every performance. Best rock band ever. 4 incredible talents that blessed us for 10 years with unearthly music. They are Rock Gods. Led Zeppelin.
Zeppelin is STILL the best rock band to have walked the earth, period!
Except for Deep Purple a better band
@Tepuranga Heremaia ure just wrong LZ is the best rock band
@@thomassblaquelourde9298 I love DP but LZ is on par with the Beatles.
@@safiramusica The Beatles were a pop band
Nah. Always found Plants voice annoying and hard to listen too.
In concert, Zeppelin almost never did any song the same way twice. Their ability to improv and play off each other was legendary. Keep in mind that these are four virtuosos, some of the best musicians ever to play at any level, and as a collective, they were great songwriters, as well. Because of these skills, they could and often did write in many genres, often times improvising a new song on the spot or songs that were written on one take from scratch. Simply one of the most amazing bands you'll ever encounter, a true one-of-a-kind experience.
So well said!
They had the "MAGIC" It's so missing in a lot of contemporary music. Truly my favorite ban since forever. First 45 I bought Whole Lotta Love ❤️ First Album was LZ II . The Best ever IMHO
Yes, well said.
I can’t agree with this. Maybe city to city might be different. However, this soundtrack is either from another night as The Song Remains the Same film version or another performance all together on this tour.
Watch
th-cam.com/video/1gHlbHtdVLU/w-d-xo.html
This is from the film and you can tell it’s a different performance because of very subtle differences in Jimmy’s solos and when Robert sings the “that ain’t right” line. But otherwise they’re so closely rehearsed that the maker of this video was able to sync video from the film to the audio of what I’m guessing is either really good bootleg work or something off an album. Perhaps even the soundtrack version.
Greatest band to ever walk the earth, we are lucky to have shared time with them.
There are two voices crying out here, Robert’s voice and Jimmy’s guitar, weaving around each other as they did so well live. And the bass keyboards and drums are the dynamic kick in the guts. Love it. This is one of my desert island songs. So glad you listened to this one.
When Plant startssinging the band is quiet and then just before Plant ends his opening howl, you hear Bonham cueing the rest of the band with a slight opening of his hihat. So amazing how this band acts almost as one organism so it all comes together.
Like the one organism image.
I know this is supposed to be about the vocals, but Jimmy Page’s guitar is outstanding
And as always John Bonhams drums are overlooked.
Robert's duet with Sandy Denny on "The Battle of Evermore" is something to behold.
Except that I wish she had been featured a bit more prominently in that song.
my brother's absolute favorite led zeppelin song. (r.i.p. billy 😢)
Truth, and since Sandy isn't with us anymore, his duets with Alison Krauss are also mighty fine and will do nicely.
Only studio recording Led Zeppelin did with someone other than Robert Plant on vocals (he recorded multiple tracks for all other songs’ vocal harmonies).
@@boomerdell Since Sandy wasn't credited on the album jacket, I thought it was Robert singing falsetto. Hey, I was ten.
There’s 7 billion people in the world. And there’s one Robert Plant.
That confidence that Plant shows I am sure come from not thinking you are the best rock band on the planet, but knowing it. Not thinking you are surrounded by good musicians, but knowing you are surrounded by some of the best rock musicians of all time, totally in sync at that moment. From knowing you could point to any woman in the audience and not only know she would rush to meet you backstage after the show, but that her boyfriend would literally push her towards the backstage. For that 10 or so years, Led Zeppelin occupied that rarefied air and they deserved it and they did not disappoint. Never say never, but I can't see how any band could again be who they were at that time.
Perfectly said...they were from another planet I think...jmho lol
John Paul Jones is also playing the bass part with foot pedals while playing the keys. Super impressive
JPJ was the secret weapon......
@@tomyork6311 He could play anything.
@@1skyofrog and did....well
@@tomyork6311 The heart and soul of this remarkable band, certainly. Absurdly talented along with the rest.
Some times I feel his contribution has been overlooked. But we can't forget that that Led Zep was four parts equally.
"He plays it by emotion" That is a most correct statement about Jimmy Page. Thanks for listening to Page's parts as well as Plant's.
Page was the main reason the band was formed. He was the main head brains behind the whole thing. 🔊🎶🎸🥁
Yeah when he felt high he played like he was high XD
Nearly as good as Rory Gallagher, a fellow Irishman,
@@proinseasburke2681 Hallo Irishman, thanks for mentioning Rory. I haven't heard of him probably because I just know the popular bands like Zeppelin, Stones, Queen, Elton John, David Bowie, T-Rex. Did Rory play in any mega bands I've missed or write any mega pop tunes others played and made famous? Thanks 👍
Amen to that. Page. So unique. Incomparable. Great.
Here i am at 52, listening for more than 30 years to Zeppelin, still having tears rolling down my cheeks when hearing and seeing this.
I'm 69, same here,there & everywhere.
@@pete3883beatles refrence
One must respect JPJ and Bonzo locking down the beats, providing space for Robert and Jimmy to cast their magic.
Led Zeppelin is an example of a band where all 4 members are the absolute best at what they do. I was born after the broke up l, but I’m glad I got to see page and plant in 97, not the same but still an experience.
me too I am 50 now, and saw Unleaded and walking into Clarksville
That page/plant tour was outstanding. I have been a zeppelin fan since 1975 when I was eight years old and was very happy to have seen that. There is a tribute band called “get the lead out“ that is the best I have seen from a musicianship standpoint, I think there are six guys in the band and none of them look like Led Zeppelin guys, but their objective is to play the music perfectly. They come pretty close!
Walking into Clarksdale for me. I feel so lucky to have seen them live.
Same here.
I was alive well before Bonham's tragic death but never saw them live. I saw Robert Plant live in Hershey Pa in 1988 and was in the front row, he sounded amazing but I had to keep looking back to watch all the girls taking their tops off lol.
I met Robert Plant in July. I've been listening to this seductive voice for 45+ years, and my inner 15-year-old self was losing her freaking mind. Absolute rock god.
Tell us more! 😄
I'm SO Jealous
Oooh,❤
I met him on the street 10 years ago in NYC when he was here to do the presser for "Celebration Day". He...walked up to...ME! ... and said hello. You think you are going to say/ask all the questions of a lifetime if you ever meet him, but in reality, you are about to piss your pants and all you can do is take a knee and say- MY LIEGE! and you lose yourself. Well.....I lost MY self! haha. But the most amazing 5-10 minutes of my life.
Tell more! What was he like? I've heard from most quarters that he's quite down to earth.
I won't say that Robert Plant is the greatest vocalist of all time, but then again, why not? HE IS MY FAVORITE.
Those boys are real musicians, a skill, which few bands ever reach. Long live Led Zeppelin, definitely the best rock band of all time!
I am a 58yr old man who has been listening to Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin for 47 years and I always get chills when I hear him.
I'm 70 years old and I was born on the same hospital ward in West Bromwich where Robert Plant was born in1948. I've been listening to Led Zeppelin from their beginning, seen them live in concert and met Robert a few times in person, one of the times we were chatting up the bar at my local pub in West Bromwich.
Yeah ! Me too! The best! 🤟😝💗
Try 61! This song still puts chills up my spine put a Blu-ray in and crank it up on your TV. That is if you have speakers connected just amazing.
Page and Plant are perfect together, if you listen to the original, you'll see how much they're improvising and driving each other towards different places. It's a common trait of Zeppeling songs, specially live for the phrasing of the guitar and voice to interwoven together almost as one.
Dont forget Bonham and John Paul Jones. Theyre all superstars, and its a common joke that when you assemble an all star rock band you just end up with Led Zeppelin
The sum of the parts are greater than the whole!
I think it was John Paul Jones that said that in the studio, this (zeppelin III) and Black Dog (zeppelin IV) were the 2 hardest songs they ever recorded to get nailed down
I think the studio version should e been done first, it is such a masterpiece...
@@ekaram63 yes...very well said!
This is not only Led Zep's best song, but it is the best song of its genre. It is simply THE BEST
There’ll never be another coming together of 4 individually talented musicians as these 4 guys were.
Now you know why they are the undisputed greatest rock band of all time.
It’s disputed. But anyone who disputes it is a fool haha
The ONLY other contender is the Stones. But they are a distant second in my opinion. Greatest pop band, Beatles. Greatest rock band, Zeppelin. Greatest metal band, Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden.
The Beatles are actually the undisputed greatest rock band of all time, but Led Zeppelin is not terribly far behind them, along with Queen and Pink Floyd. Those four groups are just on another level from ANY other group or artist, taking their entire discography into account. But there's no chance that anybody is better than The Beatles. (To UCLAJediKnight: although The Beatles made pop music in their early albums, the rock music they made more than makes the difference. They are untouchable.)
@@MathewSteeleAtheology dude. We are all just stating opinions. Yours is no more valid than mine. Fwiw, the vast majority of people would say the Stones are better and more influential than Queen.
@@Lopyswine Yep I understand that value is subjective. Even if it's the vast majority, it's still subjective. But it's all good, and disagreement is healthy :)
jimmy KILLS it on guitar here, SOOOO much soul and blues!
Robert Plant has a unique "Yin AND Yang" to his singing, both feminine and masculine...a quality of both delivering passion and delivering himself up TO passion. Very unique. I also think that, while he was never the greatest lyricist of his era, he was nevertheless always a great musician with his instrument, never just singing the melody, but always finding ways to explore the possibilities and to add counterpoint and additional depth to the musical moments
Not only the singing also his body language ist balanced between male and female
Robert was known as the voice in the 70's. His range and variations was par excellence.
Yes dear, it's a blues song. Zeppelin were not really a metal band. I know a lot of people have dumped them into that category, but they were primarily a blues-based hard rock band.
Metal was invented for post-pubescent, pimply-faced virginal boys. It never was a real thing. Nearly all the Metal bands are cheap imitations of Deep Purple without nearly the skill or musicianship. But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. And yes, Zep was a great blues band.
Absolutely correct.
I’ve said that, too. No doubt they influenced the genre, but they weren’t metal themselves. Much like zeppelin’s blues influences weren’t rock, but they influenced rock.
They definitely are majority Blues and even Folk music
Dear Tessera - You sound so condescending. It’s not a blues song. There was no “metal” when they started. And no one that is a fan of “metal” would include them. That was an 80s creation. They were a wholly unique band that used their influences.
You will definitely not regret a deep dive into Led Zeppelin. An amazing journey from start to finish
True because of how their music evolved from Led 1 to Physical Graffitti. Deep dive are a must
@@danb.6294 In Through the Out Door*
I highly recommend a chronological listen from the first album to the last.
As an old guy raised on Led Zeppelin, I really enjoy your reactions, Elizabeth! And your professional analysis and breakdown of Plant's vocals reminds me that as an adolescent I was MOVED by Zep's songs and Robert's voice, but could not fully appreciate all that he brought to every tune. Thanks.
It's LED ZEPPELIN!! Known to be - ALL THINGS - AT ALL TIMES - TO ALL PEOPLE - IN ALL PLACES !!
Simply can not be corralled into one description, type, tone, sound or another while each note floats in & out of our senses in all feelings through it's endless drifting on the currents of the Universe!
Makes you realize why they stopped playing after Bonham' death. The chemistry between him and Page is incredible. Page only turn around once right near the end.
I got to see Page and Plant, back in the 90's!! Thank the gods and goddesses!!
When you know that Bonham’s approach to Zeppelin’s music was in most cases to follow Page, you can really see it once you know what to look for. This is especially in evidence live and it’s a testament to their greatness that their live playing didn’t really mirror the studio arrangements. It did where it needed to be, but their take was that the songs were never finished and the improvisation that went on live is just an example of their musical abilities and their creativity.
But Bonham could also read the other members so well.
And plenty of practice was had to make these albums perfect.
@@lori6115 Yes! me too. I saw them at Jones beach Theater in Wantagh, NY i think "97"
Bonham and Page could read each other's minds.
The album version is THE version. Gives me chills every time.
I love the live versions but Plant's voice on the studio version is other worldly.
This song is best on the album and No quarter is best live.
The band Main Squeeze has a great version on youtube. I've been a Zep fan since the 70s but I think Main Squeeze matched them if only because it's fresh to me.
@@brlyjo This, 100% Only time a Led Zeppelin cover blew me away like the original did.
@@spambaconeggspamspam now I'm intrigued, I will have to go watch it.
I've never heard anyone refer to Zeppelin as a "metal" band. When they made this video I was 9 years old. However, Ive listened to a wide variety of music, my entire life. Beginning in the 7th grade I started playing guitar & getting up in front of the class to not only play, but sing by myself for extra credit. In the 7th grade I also started my Drama career. My first routing was singing "Sisters" from the musical White Christmas. I entered HS in 1977 & Zeppelin was big & we knew them as Hard Rock/Blues. My generation went through so many genre's of music, you could barely keep up. Boy was it an amazing time to be a teenager! We had it all! My US History teacher flipped my world upside down when he took our class to the cinema to see "Woodstock". My musical life started that day. I will always be grateful to Mr. Bosch for expanding my mind.
In 1977-1978 we were hot for disco. We danced & danced. BeeGees. Donna Summer. Blondie, ABBA. And at the same time a switch began to occur & we then listened to Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ted Nugent then suddenly Foreigner, Cheap Trick, Jefferson Starship, Styx, Journey, Heart, The Who, Supertramp, Bob Segar & of course the beautiful Fleetwood Mac! Oh & Queen & Boston!
1978-1979 was more of the same but The Police came in, Triumph, ELO, Olivia Newton John etc.
1979-1980 Doobie Brothers, Chic, Village People, Robert Palmer, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar...there was so much music!
Eventually Devon showed up. Sex Pistols. The Kinks. Music kept evolving. Quickly.
I remember my mother barging into my room as I had Free Bird on 10 & she screamed for me to "turn that Acid Rock off!" Acid rock? What was that? My concert life started at this time. Best time of my life!
It seems there is so much music & so little time!
The 1st time I heard the word "metal" was for a band called Iron Maiden. I suppose Hendrix could be metal. Alice Cooper was theatre. Deep Purple...was that metal? However, I didn't become a headbanger until Metallica released the Black Album. Then Death Metal came. My son only listens to Speed Metal.
How do we actually know when this became that, & that became this. I just knew I was a product of Hard Rock!!
Oh, I would love to hear a reaction video to Bob Seger -- maybe Turn the Page? My older sister was a huge fan, so I grew up on his music, but as an adult I'm even more appreciative of his voice and music.
The thing that makes this number stand out to me (and I'm a drummer, btw), is how everyone instinctively comes together again and again; seemingly out of nowhere. It's quite astounding, really. They are obviously very, VERY well-rehearsed.
Early on Led Zeppelin was primarily a blues based rock band. They basically took the blues and really electrified it. They are not actually a heavy metal band but had a lot of aspects that influenced metal groups, especially those of the 80's. Robert Plant did have voice issues over the years, but to this very day is still very creative and can "squeal" when he wants too.
One of Plant's greatest influences was Elvis Presley, and it shows in a lot of his work.
@@JackDaniels10101 no, more like the music Presley covered and got into.
@@saemikneu Elvis listened to a lot of music, as did everyone in his time and before. Music is derivative. There are no originals, just in case you mention Chuck Berry, etc. Some took from their influences and took music to another level, as The Beatles did.
This is a blues song. One of the greatest of all time. This is not metal. The studio version is perfect. In addition to Plant, Page and Bonzo on the Mt Rushmore of their respective instruments. Jones' ability to set the bassline and add just the right touch with multiple instruments across their entire catalog is awesome. One of the top bands in the history of rock/blues music. Love your videos and watching you expand your musical horizons.
The original boxed set liner had an article that described them as "Ultra Blues"
I fell in love with the Blues because of Zeppelin. Page, Beck, and Clapton...Three Brit guitarists dove deep into American Blues and added their twist. Whole new levels....into : Pop(Clapton), Rock(Page), and Jazz(rip Jeff Beck.) Add in Robert Plant,who learned the cadence of classic American Blues, and his guts to stretch it to its higher levels ever. Bonham elevated percussion. He attacked it with joy. Jones. Musical intuition. Bass...a genious to even anticipate and drive his band mates...fluent in ivory, and every genere of music, John Paul Jones.
The segue at the beginning of the song was typical of Led Zeppelin moving from one song to the next without introduction. I think they didn't want to interrupt the flow of the music. Plant was very versatile in his presentation, i view his work as being almost jazz like in his ability to sing whatever or however he felt was necessary in the moment. Impromptu, improv, whatever you want to call it, Plant was able to even make a mistaken note sound as if he meant to hit the wrong note. He is a performer. A chameleon who is able to change his musical spots into stripes on a whim. I had the privilege to see Led Zeppelin in San Diego in San Diego in June of 1977. Bonhom was so drunk that he fell off of his stool during the acoustic set. He was taken off stage until the end of that set, then he ran back onstage as if he had not had a drink that night. It must have been the miracles of modern street medicine at work. This was to be the last San Diego stop for Led Zeppelin. Bonhom dies of alcohol poisoning the following year or two after that San Diego performance. Plant, Page, Jones and Bonhom brought so many tools to their trade that they could have played Disney songs and their fans would have loved those songs as well. Plant continues to be a performer and his music is groundbreaking as he works through his seventies. He still delivers the old songs in new ways as he works his voice like any journeyman would use his tool. We are able to see and hear him perform even today and I would suggest that anyone who has not been to a Plant performance to correct that deficiency in their musical diet. Get your dose of vitamin P as soon as possible. You will be glad you did.
As an aside, towards the end of the song the videographer zoomed in on Plant and the look on his face as he was watching Page play his solo was exquisitely Plant as he was caught in a moment of amazement of Pages virtuosity... He enjoyed Pages work as much as any of us did. Even he was caught up in the moment, but being the pro he was he recovered in time to finish the song in his own inimitable manner. I loved the band then... and still enjoy their work now. Now and again fate, or chance, brings together perfection. This was an example of that perfection recorded for posterity. Thank you for your review. You obviously enjoy, or should I say Love, the work of the dynamic Plant?? Yes, you do. Welcome to the club.
I saw Robert in concert three years ago, he's still got it. During a quiet spot, some guy in the audience yelled out "you're a golden god Robert!" He wasn't wrong 😁
Ha ha .. yes .. spot on!
"The Song Remains the Same / The Rain Song" from the same concert is another great showcase of their collective talents.
YES YES YES PLEASE !!!
Aww hell, just play the whole concert. I was there and I was 13 years old at the time. One of the best shows I've ever seen in my entire life.
Oh man the studio The Rain Song is just so perfect too.
Defintely!
Yessss. Rain song is my favorite zeppelin song.
I've been a musician,and all my family.
Very simple it is another language few people ever learn
I loved it when you said you’re loving Robert Plants vocals. PLEASE listen to the studio version of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” from their first album! You will blown away at his vocal ability because it’s a quieter song you can really hear how amazing he is…😊
He defined confidence and sexiness on stage. Every rock singer since wants to be Robert Plant
After "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", this one is one of my all time favs of theirs. Cannot wait for this reaction!!
I agree!
Every time I hear a zep song I get goose bumps and tears in my eyes. This music is so emotional. I alway talk about my favorite bands and i comeback to Led Zeppelin and realize nobody else has, had or will ever have what they had, Nothing comes close to them.
YES!!!!!!!!!!
Same!!
Need a “babe I’m gonna leave you” reaction next
Led Zep was strongly Blues influenced. Jeff Beck was in the Yardbirds, and of course Jimmy Page was a part of that bands history. They could out blues the bluesist and out rock any rock band, but I never really thought so much of metal so much when thinking of the music of Led Zeppelin. The four members of this iconic band were in an entirely different dimension when they played together. So freaking tight!
I was lucky enough to see them in 77, words cannot describe what they were like live. I have seen every great rock band live and imo none of them were on the level of these guys!
Jimmy is EVERYTHING!
Fell in love with him 45 years ago at 10 yrs old.
I was just thinking the same exact thing and how fast time has gone! Peace🙏🎶😎
1969 for me.
Hearing music like this in the 70s was like seeing a new color for the first time. I think that people who grew up in the 90s and later heard all this by the time they were 8 have difficulty understanding why us "older " folks make such a big deal about 70s music. For me it was like the movie the Secret Garden. Going to a concert was like being admitted to a new world. We had never heard those sounds before. Discovering a new world. I saw Zeppelin in 77 at Baton Rouge I was11 years old. It left me speechless . I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
I am from Baton Rouge. My first concert at 11 was KISS. I missed that Zep show somehow. I grew up to learn what rock/ blues really was. I later got the music bug.i wanted to work for Rolling Stone, so I was 16 yrs selling "authorized" photos of the bands that came to Baton Rouge every weekend . I got their permission to take and to sell the photos.
I later tracked down many bands, for photos, including the Firm in Daytona, Florida.I wanted a job at Rolling Stone and needed pictures of Paul and Jimmy. I met Paul on the beach all alone the next morning after the show. Forgot all about pictures Went back to the hotel met Jimmy and with his one call I had a job at Rolling Stone. We met up again at the New Orleans show at Absinthe House after the show. Jimmy had on a black bad ass tux with a red cumberbun. Jimmy is the really the sweetest man in Rock.
I am hoping she will give a reaction to Paul Rodgers my all time favorite singer.
Paul couldn't have been nicer, too.
I never met Robert, one the few I never met, but we sorta danced together as he was on stage. Later I married only the man that sounded as good as Robert. He sang with zero music, 24/7. I was always was on the front row. You might have seen me, not many females dare to go to front row. It's dangerous.
Speaking of Baton Rouge, did you get to see the special Lynyrd Skynyrd put on at the Comite River about 1985? I put their photos in Rolling Stone. Cool to see fans in a river listening to the band. All the survivors were there playing. After that never saw all 4 survivors together. I love our musical roots of Baton Rouge. Love LOVE me some blues, love me some Buddy Guy.
Love Zep forever!
I can only imagine what it must have been like at the time. I was born in the 80s and got really into Zep and a lot of other stuff from the 60s and 70s around 2000. It blew me away even then, but I know that at the time it would have had even bigger impact, especially for those lucky enough to have seen them live. It was a golden age for music and if I ever found myself in possession of a time machine, I'd just be going to gigs.
I LOVE this song, this live performance is 🔥. The way Page's guitar sings along with Plant's voice ahhhh so good
men have difficulty showing their emotions. :o)
I remember hearing this at a house party in the summer of 1975, I was 14 years old that August it was when I really got into Led Zeppelin. And have never stopped listening to them for all these years. A lot of people just don't get it!
Some things can't be taught, alot of the great players and vocalist didn't read music. No auto tuners or karaoke here ! This is when music was truly inspired. I remember , good memories.
Jimmy Page could read music. He made a living playing advertising jingles for a time between bands before LZ. Only technically astute readers are auditioned for jingles, believe it or not
when you compare the old bands with new ones, you could only cry what the youth from today has to listen...
Yup! 👍
John Paul Jones went to music school,Jimmy Page was a studio musician who could most definitely read music.
@@seelenwinter6662 there's plenty of good stuff nowadays as well
of course nothing like led zeppelin, which is a legendary, music genre-defining supergroup, but yeeeeeeah there's good music!
Not many moments of such quality in the history of rock music.
People are now realizing that they were one of the first progressive rock bands. They could fuse blues, rock,vikings, and lord of the rings, and make it sound amazing!
I know this is an old comment, but I just saw it. It reminded me of when ages ago I was in a record store looking for a Zeppelin LP. I asked the clerk because there was no Led Zeppelin in the rock bins. He acted like I was some kind of idiot because *of course* Led Zeppelin is R&B. The fact that I found his offended reaction funny was not helpful.
Im just discovering Led Zeppelin. ..omg what a ride I cant get enough.
Still high on that infinite supply? 😂
Be cautious, it could blow your Mind .
Hold on tightly, mi amigo !
This is one of the greatest blues songs of all time. It's a rock band, playing a blues song. 💙
I honestly think an argument could be made that Blues music is the deep roots of most rock.
place 2: The Bluest Blues by Alvin Lee
@@myrany8407 your 100 percent correct
It's a blues band playing rock!
Similar to When the levee breaks one of my all-time favorites.
Just one of the many things that make Led Zeppelin so brilliant is that they defy genre or categorization. Is it blues? Classic rock? Metal? Progressive/ "art" rock? Yes to all, and so much more. It's Led Zeppelin. The G.O.A.T. 😆
I spent my teenage years where I would just sit on the floor just communing with Led Zeppelin's music. Robert Plant's voice made my toes curl and it is wonderful hearing a classically trained musician sit here and explain technically why his performance could do this. To this day hearing this music still has the same breathtaking effect.
Dear Elizabeth, if anyone else would pause a reaction and rewind so many times I would leave immediately, but your analyses are so interesting, educational, and just plain fun that I feel your love and understanding for the music more than I hear the song that you are reacting to. It's not a reaction at all, actually it's like a thesis every time. Thank you so much!
Amen to that...
Yes, it’s all about context. Plus almost everyone watching this will have seen it a million times before anyway, so pausing frequently for analysis is fine.
@@kevinmcfarlane2752 Yes, context and perspective.
100%‼️💯% AGREE 🎼🎶🎙️
This!
People are finally figuring out what they have been missing and why Led Zeppelin and Rock will live forever!
Don't know if your Patreons have suggested it but I simply implore you to listen to Led Zeppelins studio version of 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You'. Some absolute masterful vocal from Robert Plant as well as most epic guitar solo. I know how much you love Roberts emotional vocal well this is tear jerkingly good. Loving the channel 🤟
A few decades ago, a love long gone, under the stars on a warm summer night and this song. Powerful memories. No words were needed; just this song and the powers of the universe. Powerful. Glad you liked it.
In the comments of her Kashmir video, every other one said, "Since I've Been Loving You, MSG 1973." So happy she listened to us!
But she picked the wrong one..
I appreciate seeing a younger generation of people dig the musicianship of led Zeppelin. They were truly a force of nature. They were panned by critics initially but they had a huge arena level following and they really created their own rules when it came to the business end of it. If you listen to their live music, you can appreciate that they never did a song the same way twice. They were improvisational. One of the greatest rock acts ever
I'm happy you're so young. You have a whole new world to experience with things I grew up with
Definitely the world's greatest rock band playing a classic blues song with rock overtones. What they are doing musically and vocally is complex but they make it sound ridiculously simple. It is edgy, as blues should be, but very precise. outstanding.
Led Zeppelin were the most cohesive band ever. Each member felt like different limbs of the same body.
I have spent many years in attempt to accurately describe Led Zeppelin. This is the description I have been searching for. I couldn't possibly think of a more accurate and truthful explanation of this band.
Or you could say each one of them were parts of the whole, same description I like yours too!!! This is why they couldn't carry on without John Bonham.
This is one of the many examples of why Led Zeppelin was named greatest rock band so many year's.
The magic of Zep was the improvisation. Every night was different. They all worked off each other. When their drummer died, they didn't replace him, because they didn't feel they could capture the improvisation they had captured together. I love your channel.
You emphasized his emotion. That's where the blues is. That's the point of that. He understands the language of emotion that's inherent in the blues and it comes out in his unique and (at that time) fresh way. I've been listening to this music for almost 40 years, since I was a kid. It's interesting to see someone who is all grown up who is so unfamiliar with Zepp do this type of analysis. "Thank you"
I might be too late to the comments to be seen but saying Led Zeppelin is “Metal” is missing an important detail…Metal didn’t really exist at this point and Zep as far as I know never once called themselves a “Heavy Metal” band. They were very exploratory and known to go off in many directions that interested them including Hard Rock, Blues, Folk, World Music/Reggae/Samba/Middle Eastern, Progressive Rock, Synth Rock/Pop, Jazz and more.
Led Zeppelin came along and redefined what a popular rock band could be while being mostly very very different from The Beatles. Zep could Jam and change things on the fly and did that fearlessly in a way no other super popular band was doing. Heavy Metal is a term that came up when Zeppelin had been around for awhile and it became a genre to itself that was typically much narrower, was blues influenced but almost never included actual blues and lacked Zeppelin’s desire and ability to expand. Think of how different Good Times Bad Times, Whole Lotta Love, Boogie With Stu, Going to California, Four Sticks, Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand and Fool In The Rain are from each other…Progressive Rock bands like Emerson Lake & Palmer and some others overlap but they weren’t he heirs apparent to The Beatles the way Zep was.
To understand Robert Plant it’s really necessary to delve into blues like Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf and early Rock like Little Richard and Elvis Presley with various Folk influences thrown in. Plant has been a major record collector his whole life and very eclectic.
I’ll finish by suggesting you consider reacting
to Led Zeppelin’s Fool In The Rain or The Rain Song and studio versions might be he best here because they really capture Plant’s vocal a little better IMHO. Really love your channel…thanks for your videos. 🔥🔥🔥
I’d be willing to call them a Progressive Rock band before calling them a Heavy Metal band.
That said, they were definitely a multi-genre group and I’d be hard pressed to put them in any one category.
@@Fredzeppelin15 Blues-based hard rock.
Zep were the heirs apparent to Cream. Bands such as Yes, Moody Blues, Deep Purple Mk I, CSN (especially with Y), ELO, and Chicago are much closer stylistically to The Beatles. Pop hooks, hit singles, and progressive melodic rock. I'll add Pink Floyd because of the Barrett era and Dark Side of the Moon.
Led Zeppelin may not have been a metal band perse but with 'Immigrant song ', they invented headbanging.
My only fault with that song is it should be several minutes longer.
Heavy metal was definitely already around at this point. What is considered to be the first heavy metal album, Black Sabbath's, "Black Sabbath," came out in 1970. By the time of this performance, Black Sabbath already had 4 or 5 albums out, and other bands were starting to do the same thing. Led Zeppelin did have some songs that incorporated elements of heavy metal, Dazed and Confused and Immigrant Song come to mind, but they were never outright heavy metal as a band. I will say though, even though they weren't really a heavy metal band themselves, they inspired many future heavy metal bands.
The studio version is a masterpiece, but I love seeing this footage of Plant and Page on stage. In their prime, they were the epitome of what it was to be Rock gods.
How The West Was Won Version or bust for me.
I agree, the studio version is the best... the guitar solos are perfect.. the live version a bit more improvised and occasionally loses the flow.
@@peterkassner3552 agreed... Try some other live versions though! Since I've Been Loving You fro BBC Sessions for instance. The vocals are on par with the album take.
There are some versions from bootlegs that are even (slightly) better, but of course the sound is rough.
this is my favorite Led Zeppelin song. You should have done the album version... amazing.
Totally agree!
this and babe i'm leavin you .., for sure
Yes the album version is maybe one of the most perfect recordings ever. Not a single note you would want to change.
Nah, live is always more fun.
That explains why, even though I grew up with Zeppelin, to this day I’m amazed when I actually here some of the words - it was never about ‘what’ Plant sung as much as the fact he was singing! I was into the guitar riffs for sure, but then I would get tugged, beyond resistance, into the ’lead’ the bass was laying down! But that’s when I realized I was into all of that because I was being steered by the drums!
Just an incredible experience for the past 5 and a half decades!
One of my top three favourite Led Zep songs! If you haven't done so already, listen to the original album version from "III" with headphones and you'll hear John Bonham's bass drum pedal squeaking away!
One of my 35 favorites... and the order always changes and expands!
Gallows Pole and Bron-Yr-Aur-Stomp from III are 2 of my favorite Zep songs. Both showcase Jimmy Page’s acoustic guitar brilliance and rock out! 🤘🤘🎸
@@lorimiller8297 100%!
@@glenfranzen9933 Ha ha good point, I'd say 3 or 4 songs per album too, sometimes more, so it's always so difficult to choose!
@@lorimiller8297 John Paul jones is the hero on that album
I've never actually witnessed someone having an eargasm before but you just did, Led Zeppelin has been a part of most of my 59 years on earth and for good reason, they're simply genius.
England and in particular the London area produced some of the GREATEST virtuoso musicians of living memory (especially the 1950s-1980s) but before and after also. Just sublime talent.. it's no coincidence that the virtuosity and style influenced the World and still does and for good reason..
As a REAL Englishman and a REAL Londoner I feel proud to say that these guys originated from my neck of the woods, Jimmy Page as a guitarist was phenomenal as was John Bonham as a drummer, along with Clapton, Jeff Bruce and Ginger Baker (as probably the greatest drummer of all time!) In Cream/Yardbirds, plus Jeff Beck, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Stones, John Mayal's Blues Breakers and many many others.. it's why Hendrix came to London and why Clapton brought some of the Black blues artist to London to create/give them recognition and some fame for where they got their inspiration from.. (it's called having class and respect) and they ALL had that in spades.. As well as God-given Talent both instrumentally, vocally and lyrically 👌🎸😎🏴🇬🇧
I'm like 2 mins into this video and I'm already loving her reaction. She's addressing the instrumental and talking about the overall style and stuff. The respect for Page here tickles me as a guitarist.
Do your homework on John Paul Jones. He's the bass/keyboard player. An absolute master!! His movie soundtrack credits are miles long!!
One thing I really love, is Jimmy Page's use of the volume knob on the guitar. He lowers it, and it sounds really mellow and sweet, then he cranks it all the way and really digs in on the picking and it's totally in your face. Another trick he did a lot was to switch to the neck pickup and lower tone knob all the way. Gave it a real killer blues tone. He probably got the idea from one of the greats like B.B. King.
Use of the volume/tone knobs on a guitar is a lost art. So many players negate using them that most guitar companies today just put one volume or even a kill switch. On/off. That’s your options. Luckily, although we are an endangered species, some of us learned from the greatest…Page, Clapton, Nugent, BB King, Gibbons…
@@ThunderRiffs87 I *will* not buy a guitar without a volume knob and a tone knob for each pickup/humbucker.
@@gumballthechewy the only 2 I’ve got that have only 1 tone (but 2 volume) is my explorer and Flying V. Everything else is 2 volume 2 tone.
All the older players did just that. It's almost a lost art with all the effects on the board now. Page to me was the master of it along with Carlos Santana.
I'm 65 and I still love Led Zeppelin❤
It's great that young people are just discovering great music for the first time! There are tons of it out there to keep you in business for several years. I hope you continue on your Rock N Roll journey and learn about bands that were out before you were born and really dive down deep exploiting them while getting payed.
You can tell there is magic woven into Zeppelin's music. I go into a trance when I listen to them.
I believe they call it Magick with a K.
I feel like you have to hear the original recorded version off the album to fully appreciate the improv going on here. Truly brilliant
The virtuosity of Zeppelin are incredible...and that song it's My favorite...
Jimmy was an established virtuoso and he made a band that trashed all the rules because he wanted to transcend the norm. He gave everyone free reign and Plant was the feral anomaly that helped make it happen. Zeppelin took everything cool that was going on then globally and brought it to rock. Theyre the greatest.
Your animated reactions are exactly how Led Zeppelin moves my soul. Every single listen.
My thoughts exactly! My very 1st concert in August of 1971 was Led Zeppelin at the Sam Houston Coliseum. No backup group and they played 3+ hours. Been to many other concerts but none can match that one. They are timeless.
listen again to "workenn" ; sung so it rhymes with "sevenn" and "elevenn" ( best way to describe Robert Plant's GOLDEN VOICE = a cross between Elvis Presley and Rod Stewart , with a sprinkle of Mario Lanza ) 💡
John Paul Jones and Bonham are the greatest rhythm section ever. They are always locked in time with each other through nearly unpredictable tempo changes practically by instinct.
Oh yeah... I place them ex aequo with Double Trouble
I would say them right next to Geddy lee and Neil Peart
Elijah Lopez,
Please don't insult Zeppelin by mentioning that nerdy geek band devoid of any emotion, groove and sex. Rush? Eek.
@@lyndoncmp5751 have you read the lyrics of Rush? Clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about. They have a song about Peart’s stage fright, the Manhattan project, Freewill. If you honestly don’t think Rush deserves any musical respect, you don’t know enough about music.
@@elijahlopez416 Yeah, plenty of room to love both bands for what they brought to the table musically.
Bonzo was the king of swing so to speak while Peart was a human metronome. Both bands were on opposite sides of the spectrum…
You had Zeppelin which improvised practically everything and then Rush who completely stayed as true to what you heard on their albums as they could.
Bashing either one of these bands just shows that those that do isn’t a fan of music but are a fan boi!!! Lol be good to each other.
This was filmed at Madison Square Gardens for the movie "The song Remains the Same". Upon seeing the concert footage Led Zeppelin was not happy with it at all. They want to record a new concert for the movie but production of the movie was had gone to far by that point and they reluctantly had to use the MSG footage.
And to think they did this show with hardly any prior notice and no time. So glad I got to see them. They are the best of the best unmatched. Best concert I ever saw.
In my opinion Led Zeppelin is the greatest band in history this is what you get when you put four master musicians together . You will never hear this sound in another band indeed .
This is an epic performance but the studio album version is extraordinary and one for the ages.
I agree completely. I love this version as a diehard Zeppelin fan but the studio version is simply put together perfectly and with far better sound quality (regardless of a few haters complaining about the kick).
It’s just a lot more polished but still very raw. Plant still riffs but never completely leaves the reservation and Page wrote the (second) solo the day of the recording and put it down in one take on an amp that wasn’t even his.
I like the live version (and would’ve been over the moon to be there) but the record is still my go to track and I can’t imagine it not being my first introduction to this song.
@@doofinator4285 right on. Saw Zeppelin at the Garden in 77. I haven't topped that show yet.
It’s nothing without Bonham’s squeaky pedal...... 😂
You’re so right on with his time. His confidence with his breaks and inflections make them. They wouldn’t happen without his guts to do it while having the musicians follow. It’s is pure chemistry and trust here
One of the best albums by anyone ever is Led Zeppelin 2. Most of the album got played on rock radio stations throughout the 70's. It's hard to choose which song to do, but What Is and What Should Never Be is sooo good. Vocally and musically. I know you will love it. And The Lemon Song.
Don't forget that this band was clearly ahead of their time. We are fortunate to share their gifts. They could take their music to levels that many still today are trying to reach. Truly climbers of mountains.
This is a remake of a much, much older song. I loved Zepplin, grew up listening to them- but they were not "ahead of their time" - they were firmly anchored in the old blues and classic folk traditions. White Summer, Black Mountain Side was a remake as well- a combination of two old Irish folk songs. And if you listen to their music, and you're familiar with the music that came before them- you hear them clearly rehashing licks and riffs from other ppl's music quiet often. They put their own spin on it- and personally, I love it- but to say it was ahead of its time imo is just wrong.
Steely Dan was ahead of the times, so was Peter Frampton- personally I preferred Zepplin to both of them but- they were ahead of the times. That's why they continued to play on into the 80s and Zepplin didn't. Zepplin defined 70s rock- and the 70s were over. Led Zepplin never once released a single- not one, in their whole career- that was unheard of after 76-78. There was not a record company around that would do it anymore- after Frampton Comes Alive- once they saw they could make big money marketing rock and roll to the mainstream, marketing the front men as sex symbols to teenage girls- rock was never the same again.
Zeplin hated that shit and simply couldn't operate in that kind of environment. Up until Frampton Comes Alive all rock was played on the FM dial- which was tiny back then, almost underground- if you were successful, you got played on the AM dial- that's where Elvis, Johnny Cash, etc.- all that shit was played. Zeplin didn't want it- purposely avoided it- refused singles, refused any tv or movie appearances, refused anything that would give the appearance of them being a commercial band. They considered themselves serious artists, they played what they called "album rock" meaning they expected you to buy and listen to the whole album, hear the songs in context. And they leaned very hard on old delta blues and bluegrass/folk music.
Here the band are 4 years and 5 albums on from their debut release and reaching the zenith of their powers. Live, this song give Page and Plant the perfect opportunity to stretch their incredible slow minor blues chops and the way in which their phrasing has become honed and intertwined is remarkable. Page repeats phrases to perfectly echo Plant's inventiveness, whist never straying too far from the blues greats that they know so well. No performance of this song was probably ever the same and and its a masterclass of technique and feel and sets them apart from the other rock bands of that decade. You're never in doubt that you're listening to Zeppelin but the roots go deep and are laid out for all to experience. Sublime.
Here at MSG 1973, it would be about 6 years, not 4, since they founded Zeppelin in 1968. Still slightly early in the band's success though.
@@stephenv1832 '4 years and 5 albums on from their debut release' not from when they formed. 1969 to 1973 is 4 years.Any way 1968 to 1973 is FIVE years. Man.
@@petergoddard1960 they had song releases going before 69 though, as the new yardbirds, but with all the zeppelin members
I can’t emphasize how much of a face melting experience that seeing these guys live was. I saw them at Madison Square Garden in 1977. So loud! The first song was Achilles Last Stand, a Bonham masterpiece. I feel lucky to have seen some of the best bands over the years.
Their is no other band like Led Zeppelin their music will live forever epic song
