This is the led Zeppelin I feel in love with. Ragged but right. Rough around the edges, immediacy and urgency and youthful vigor. The sound of a cataclysm. Unpredictable.
Here's a story. My late cousin Ronnie told me, somewhere around 1972, that he and his friends would pay $1 and watch Zep rehearsals at The Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. That was also in 1969. They would sit there among 300 people and smoke pot and listen to Zep play for 2 hrs. You believe that shit?
Absolutely believe that shit. They LOVED the West Coast, and San Francisco was probably their favorite spot. I can't believe that Jerry Garcia & Jimmy never crossed paths... I just find that hard to believe. Either way, I believe this 100%.. they got to try out new #'s, new takes on #'s, etc. Could be made up, but I'd say that sounds about right...
My brother and I had the pleasure to meet Jon Anderson from yes and sit in on their rehearsal at the Freemont theater 1995 in San Lois obisbo California. Game changer!
I've been listening to Zeppelin Bootlegs for about six years now (with a nice introduction to them by my guitar teacher when he found out I'd become a zeppelin fan) and though I discovered this concert relatively early in my journey (about two years in), it is still, without a doubt, my favourite, and a large chunk of it is due to this performance. Every person in the world deserves to hear this, it surpasses any material they've put on their albums, easily. It is a marvel of sound and it will never be matched.
Anyone who says zeppelin ripped off other shit should look at the progression of music because everyone rips off the people they were influenced by its what makes music great
Because the sound quality is not up to par. It's certainly beyond listenable but it sounds like a 2 channel stereo mix down tape transfer as opposed to being taken from a multitrack master. There are better quality live SBDs from 1969.
I last heard this classic boot maybe 25 years ago on a borrowed cassette which I dubbed. Wore it out right quick. To hear it again in such superb quality is a real treat. I know every note that’s coming despite the years. Amazing stuff. Many thanks.
I'm in my car, listening to this on my cell phone and it's as if I'm at the concert. Some people always hope a jem or two of unearthed magic will come to the light of day after a great band breaks up. This is that unearthed jem!!!
I'd never hate on Mercury, but IMO Plant was--and always will be--king shit in rock vocals. His voice is like literally the perfect marriage with the electric guitar. It's freaky. Zeppelin's been my favorite band since the first time I heard Immigrant Song on the radio when I was a kid.
Long time Lep Zep fan here but your comparison is apples and oanges. Mercury's voice is perfect for Queen's music and Plant is perfect for LZ's blues style. Also, Greg Allman is the best fit for ABB's jazz/ blues. southern rock combnation. Page and Plant hamonized better any other singer/guitsrist ever. Outstanding live harmonies requires a lot of talent.and a lot of studio practice.. I think both hearing in absolute pich, not just Plant. Guitsrist usually don't exceed relative pitch (identifying other pitches from another.chord such as an E or an A). . .
While we're using apples and oranges comparisons, If it was Jagger singng Whole Lotta Love and Plant singing Angie, neither would be worth releasing. Record space s more valuable than most people realize. A lot of songs have to be left off...
THANK U, 1969 LZ For This AWEZUM TRACK❗️❤️👌 JZ On Using The Original For U & URZ’ Project❗️❤️🌹 W/The Depiction Of What A Man Will Do For More Time To Love His Woman. VERY WELL DONE 👍 & TU ZM For The Interview ❗️❤️ B/🕺, & I Feel The Same Way About U . . . 💃🏽
These Led Zeppelin bootlegs are absolutely incredible .. I feel like I did when I first started listening to the greatest band ever.. thank you so much for this☮️🌎
C'est ici la meilleure, et de loin, performance live de Led Zeppelin jamais sortie officiellement. Tout y est ! L'intensité, la précision, le contraste, l'émotion, la sauvagerie, les envolées, les enchainements, l'envoutement, la puissance et la finesse. Et Ce Son ! La Folie ! C'est le morceau sur bootleg que j'ai le plus écouté ! Le Must Nec + Ultra TOP. 1000 Merci de l'avoir mis ici.
OH MY GOD THE BASS IS KILLING IT ...the Led Zeppelin concert at the whiskey the guitar solo sounds like he is using a bow and the foot pedal thingie. can someone please explain to me how he did that awesomeness
Best '69 Gig I saw was the Midnight Court gig at The Lyceum in London. It was a blistering performance, far better than The Albert Hall Show the following year!
The first Zeppelin album was essentially the last Yardbirds album. Their first U.S. tour they were big stuff yet. They played shows with Spirit who at that time was their live superrior. Page lifted a lot from Jeff Beck and Randy California.
I was at this concert but that night it was at Winterland. Without a doubt I remember the hand bill. I was there on Friday. The next night Jimi Hendrix was in Oakland. Ticket cost for LZ was $3.50, holy shit what a "rip off" :-) On Sunday there was a free concert at Muir Beach (private beach then). Sorry, that's all I remember. :-)
At this point, he was still using the Telecaster with the dragon painting, a gift from Jeff Beck. Later in 1969, Page would buy the iconic '58 Les Paul (from Joe Walsh) that became his main guitar through Zeppelin's reign.
He used the Danelectro in The Yardbirds live during White Summer. Supposedly he got his "Number One" Les Paul from Joe Walsh in April of 1969, which makes it possible he's playing it here, though I don't know that for sure. @@WhiteCamry
Bro these comments. Let the zep heads say that they are the best band in this video its a zep video anyone trying to come at anyone tryna fight is just close minded and unable to understand the difference between one person and another. You can have your taste no one can take that from you and anyone who tries to is just a fuckhead.
After intense research and long deliberations, on every bootleg that mentions 'shake' as a part of the ALAIHY medley, it actually is the song 'Bag' s Groove' by Miles Davis. Where Robert goes "nah nananah nananahnah" 😅
The 8:30 mark. Led f****** Zeppelin! The power until the end of the song. I dare anyone challenge the 8:30 mark and tell me this isn't the greatest band of all time
Wow fantastic jamming, never heard Zep play these versions before. Not surprised they played Fresh Garbage by Spirit on that album by Spirit is a song called Taurus that has a guitar line that is the same as the intro to Stairway to Heaven.Jimmy must have pinched it from that album.Thanks for posting this!
hammer44head- I know I'm super late. But you can't steal four arpeggiated notes. Nothing about Stairway is similar to Taurus except for the very beginning of the song.
Doesn't matter, everybody covered and stole from everyone back in the day. Hell, Santana was mostly a cover band, all the hits came from Tito Puente, Willie Bobo and Fleetwood Mac. It's the way the band does it that makes them memorable.
Abysmal dross such as this was the ruination of great British Rock n' Roll Music. which was up this point held in high esteem through bands such as the Who, Traffic and the Stones. Just goes to show how hypocritical American media really is. Ban the Black guys great Music, then let in a bunch of White middle class wankers pretending to have the blues. Jimmy Page is the kinda guy who had people in England writing graffiti 'CLAPTON IS GOD' all round the country, and rightly so, cos Jimmy couldn't play his way out of a paper bag. As for Plant. Frankly he's a poor imitation of Steve Marriot and amongst the cognoscente of good music is a laughing stock. They couldn't even get gigs in England .that's why we sent em over for you guys to embrace ! By the way, "hammer44head" you are right about that intro to Taurus. Zeps stole everything they ever did, then settled out of court to prevent Joe Blow on the street from ever finding out. The fact that they did it so well don't change the fact that they were the biggest thieves who ever trod the boards...........made em very rich, which after all is the American way of judging people. So in fact it don't matter if something is shit, so long as it sells, aint that right ? There's no accounting for taste is there ! I know Robert personally, he cant help himself, it's because he never had an original idea in his life, so being the ego-maniac that he is, he feels it's ok to steal other peoples. Hence, the state of music today. Amen............ P.S. The line from Marvin Gaye' I heard it through the grapevine, comes into play here. "Believe half of what you see, and nothing of what you hear" Marvin had it right.........And a classic example of what a singer SHOULD sound like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paul Martinez you are an Idiot. Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands ever.. They took rock and blues to a new level and changed music forever. You would be hard pressed to find musicians that weren't influenced one way or another by Zeppelin.4 great musicians PERIOD!! And as far as stealing, they all borrowed ( Clapton, Stones, The Who,ect.) Zeppelin just made it their own.. And they stole everything they did?? Your crazy. They wrote so many great songs. Go back to your room in your moms house and play your dean guitar,, you Wanker! Zeppelin was and is, the greatest rock and roll band ever!
A good measure of your judgment in music is that you can't hear the difference between Taurus by Spirit and Stairway to Heaven. All I can say is: try listening.
Jean Baillargeon indeed. or even better, he oughta learn how to play them and see how different they are. Not to mention you can't copyright a goddamn arpeggio in A minor!
Jimmy Page rock's most prolific PLAGIARIST rip's off The Boston Crab's 1965 Beat 45 version arrangement of this Garnett Mimms soul ballad almost note for note!
I don’t understand how people can be convinced this is plagiarism lol. It literally involves the slightest amount of effort and a touch of curiosity to learn that every band in this period did covers of their idols/influences. Literally look at any other band’s live material from this period, including the American blues artists themselves from generations prior.
Oh my. Not good. I just dont like these early Zep concerts. Too much goofy stuff. When people find out Im a Led Head and then they hear this I am embarassed.
jimmy sonhil ... They rehearsed ‘Train kept a rollin’’ on their first meeting together on Gerard Street in ‘68. The band members often used to talk about that rehearsal, and how from the very first note they played on it, the whole room just exploded... they all knew at that moment that something pretty special was happening.
On fire. This should be officially released.
This is the led Zeppelin I feel in love with. Ragged but right. Rough around the edges, immediacy and urgency and youthful vigor. The sound of a cataclysm. Unpredictable.
+Tredeci Septimo Yeah and no hard drugs yet. This is prime live Zeppelin
Kind of like the levee breaking
Fearless

+Alex Greggary The Garnet Mimms cover 'As Long As I Have You' was originally planned to be be on Zepp2
You can't get any better than this
Glad it’s not just me who thinks this. Music in 1969 is the peak of music
This vocal Robert!!! What vocalist / singer at this age can boast such a voice ?? !!
Anyone who says zeppelin ripped off other shit should look at the progression of music because everyone rips off the people they were influenced by its what makes music great
Cant stop listening to this! Why didn't they put this on a album! This is the sexiest early Zeppelin jam!
Because the sound quality is not up to par. It's certainly beyond listenable but it sounds like a 2 channel stereo mix down tape transfer as opposed to being taken from a multitrack master. There are better quality live SBDs from 1969.

This version is fantastic. Sad, painful but with enough passion, just like any other of their love songs.
I absolutely agree☮️❤️🌎
I'm in my car, listening to this on my cell phone and it's as if I'm at the concert. Some people always hope a jem or two of unearthed magic will come to the light of day after a great band breaks up. This is that unearthed jem!!!
I've never heard this show with clear vocals like this. Wow
+iDespiicableMusic There are some fantastic Fillmore '69 bootlegs.
holy crap how have I never heard this before!
Bila Bong Six years later !
me neither
I'd never hate on Mercury, but IMO Plant was--and always will be--king shit in rock vocals. His voice is like literally the perfect marriage with the electric guitar. It's freaky. Zeppelin's been my favorite band since the first time I heard Immigrant Song on the radio when I was a kid.
For we it was when I heard Good Times, Bad Times on their Early Days Album when is was about 8.
They're both intense vocalists but Robert pierces your soul
Led Zeppelin includes R. Plant on his persona. No One sings besides
Long time Lep Zep fan here but your comparison is apples and oanges. Mercury's voice is perfect for Queen's music and Plant is perfect for LZ's blues style. Also, Greg Allman is the best fit for ABB's jazz/ blues. southern rock combnation.
Page and Plant hamonized better any other singer/guitsrist ever. Outstanding live harmonies requires a lot of talent.and a lot of studio practice.. I think both hearing in absolute pich, not just Plant. Guitsrist usually don't exceed relative pitch (identifying other pitches from another.chord such as an E or an A). . .

This could have run an hour and I'd never lose interest, just awesome
You don't need this on studio, you have a great quality boot, much better than studio.
When Robert Plant starts singing "I'm A Man", oh my Golden God! 😍😍🔥🔥
Never heard this one before..whoah!! Led Zep just never failed to mesmerized me.. all the gigs,live,bootleg,footage etc.. just keep 'em coming..!

San Francisco April 1969 concerts were amazing groundbreaking performances all the shows should be released in a set.
Such a mature bluesy voice for a so young person! Man, Plant was fucking awesome!
I thought I heard it all with Led Zeppelin... I guess I was wrong.
Frisco from 1969 is terrific stuff! Remember that (:
i was having the same thought:)
Me too
8:40 Bonham was really the star of the show with them.
Yes 👍
Cool, I hadn't heard this before. Thanks for sharing😊❤
These Led Zeppelin bootlegs are absolutely incredible .. I feel like I did when I first started listening to the greatest band ever.. thank you so much for this☮️🌎
Never heard this Cool new Led Zep who would have thought
Someone in the crowd is basically like Hell Yeah 👍 bet it was a helluva time Rock On
I agree. It truly shows what Zeppelin can do. Especially in those early days in the Fillmore West. Billy Graham sure new how to book acts.
i never could find a good fillmore west recording until now
'The Jimi Page Experience' is even better.
God if they recorded this in the studio and released it. Imagine that but this still kicks ass
C'est ici la meilleure, et de loin, performance live de Led Zeppelin jamais sortie officiellement.

That bassline is one of the reasons they got sued lol
Best '69 Gig I saw was the Midnight Court gig at The Lyceum in London. It was a blistering performance, far better than The Albert Hall Show the following year!
'I'm going to love you for an hour's time'. So precise. Did he have another appointment afterwards, I wonder.
frighteningly good!
No valleys only peaks. Dig✌🏼
anyone who says Zep isnt good lacks all musical competency.
Electric Magic!
The first Zeppelin album was essentially the last Yardbirds album. Their first U.S. tour they were big stuff yet. They played shows with Spirit who at that time was their live superrior. Page lifted a lot from Jeff Beck and Randy California.
Maravilha!!!

Only page can sound sloppy and so great simultaneously
12:34 - 13:01 Where Jimmy is summoning the sonic spirits...
Right on. I play bass I I can dig feedback. It’s like trying to ride a wild bull
fuckin great song WOW
Songs in Program and music are absolutely different. Casual.
I gave Jimmy a remastered copy of this once...
Yep. He burned me a copy of it. Thank you!
Got photos to prove it. But hey, we all look daft sometimes.
Paul Chapman sure u did
The best Zep bootleg bar none
The first song they rehearsed together in 1968.
jimmy sonhil ....,,,it was train kept a rollin
Did I hear an early version of the Wll solo in there
WOW WOW WOW
SENSACIONAL ♥️
Miles Davis-Bag's Groove @9:24.
chuckobscure Yep...
Nailed it.
No shit?!? Never realized. Good grief the Led Zep becomes more and more fascinating as all of this stuff is more readily available.
Milt Jackson, but Miles (and many others) cut it. Nice spotting.
What did that guy yell out at around 20 seconds in that made Robert reply, "alright man, we'll do that, just one more"?
+BetrayedColt The guy yelled out "Hey play YOU SHOOK ME"
ZEPPELIN KILLS.
Good to know that, like The Who, Zep covered a Garnet Mimms song.
Anybody know what's page's rig might have been here?
How does one purchase this cd?
What was Page using that night? His guitar was on fire!
At this point, he was still using the Telecaster with the dragon painting, a gift from Jeff Beck. Later in 1969, Page would buy the iconic '58 Les Paul (from Joe Walsh) that became his main guitar through Zeppelin's reign.
Keith Bartholomew psilocybin
Didn't he have the Danelectro as well at this point?
WhiteCamry ... yes, Jimmy had the Danelectro quite a while before this time period.
He used the Danelectro in The Yardbirds live during White Summer. Supposedly he got his "Number One" Les Paul from Joe Walsh in April of 1969, which makes it possible he's playing it here, though I don't know that for sure. @@WhiteCamry
hey its soundboard...read HAMMER OF THE GODS
also any official information on the song "As Long As I Have You"
Bro these comments.

You can have your taste no one can take that from you and anyone who tries to is just a fuckhead.
Does anyone know who “shake” is by and where I can find it?
What do you mean? :)
Heya, fif you by chance find tge answer? I was wondering about it too..
Shake is asong by Sam Cook. The Small Faces also played that song.
After intense research and long deliberations, on every bootleg that mentions 'shake' as a part of the ALAIHY medley, it actually is the song 'Bag' s Groove' by Miles Davis.
Where Robert goes "nah nananah nananahnah" 😅
