@ swordgoti I grew up in the 60s and was a big Zep fan. Four Sticks was one of the few songs of theirs that I didn't like. I'd always pick up the needle and move it on to the next track (as you did back in the day). But I saw them live on this tour many years later, and this version simply blew my mind. I can still remember the intensity on the face of one of the girls on strings, simply magical. I will treasure this performance as long as I live.
The middle eastern interlude makes me imagine a beautiful bunch of horses racing in the desert. Hossam Ramzy is a rhythm genius. What a glorious version.
Its not easy to stand out when you're playing with Page and Plant, along with a stage filled with top musicians but Michael Lee's drumming manages to draw a strong focus of attention. Those drums of his probably needed a reskin after this performance!
Vinienne S Exactly!! I crack up whenever I hear people call Rush the Canadian Led Zeppelin. there's no such thing lol, ain't no limp blimp here, just the Zep!!
Darn, what a sheer joy it is to hear Jimmy Play drug free. You forget just how good a guitarist and innovative that man truly is. And of course no one can sing it better than Plant. The Page Plant stuff from the 1990s are a true gem. I wish I'd paid more attention to them.
Oh, baby, it's cryin' time Oh, baby, I got to fly I've got to try to find a way I've got to try to find a way Oh, baby, the river's red Oh, baby, it's in my head There's a funny feelin' goin' on, oh yeah I don't think I can hold out long And when the owls cry in the night Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry Oh, baby, baby, how do you feel If the rivers run dry, baby How do you feel, oh yeah Oh, baby, the rainbow's end Ahh, baby, it's just a den It's just a den for those who hide Oh, under love to depths of life, ohh And when the owls cry in the night Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry Oh, baby, how do you feel When the rivers run dry, baby How would you feel Ooh yeah, the brave I endure Ooh yeah, strong shields and lore An' they can't hold the wrath of those who walk An' the boots of those who march, oh Ohh ohh, I'll never get away from you baby Ooooh, yeah I'll never get away from you baby Ahhh Ahhh, yeah Ohhh, ahhh, yeah Whoa yeah Ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah Uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, Uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah Yeah Oh, oh Yeah
I was brought up on led zep, my mother used to listen to them. I’ve been addicted to their sound since childhood. It’s been the soundtrack to my travelling adventures across Egyptian desert in my 20’s and now into my 40’s. I would love to see them live. They are pure amazing. Pure talent.
A huge vast improvement of classic LZ track - all the drums are a great blast here, and the strings add a sheer gusto. The final power chords are a tremendous success
When I first heard this version, I didn't recognize the song! This version is exquisite and absolutely timeless. So happy to hear Robert singing this in his natural range - it gives it new beauty and gravity that it always cried out for before. Perfection.
When Robert plant and Jimmy page played this song at Barton coliseum in little Rock AR in 1994 reunion tour Michael Lee the drummer broke drumsticks playing with two drumsticks in each hand then he grabbed another pair when they went flying thru the air.
LED ZEPPELIN AND PAGE AND PLANT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE MOST BRILLIANT MUSICIANS EVER, PUT THEM UP THERE WITH MOZART, BACH, BEETHOVEN, AND ANY OTHER COMPOSERS AND MUSICIANS THAT PEOPLE WILL TALK ABOUT FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS.
So many arguments, i.e. "They borrowed enough material from their predecessors, to make them infamous." Did Mozart go on stage with an armadillo in his pocket like Plant? How can one even compare them? I am no musician. Therefore I have to plagiarize from what others have written, to form an opinion and present a counterpoint. What is my point? Bach apparently was forgotten for some time. Vivaldi died poor. There is nothing new under the sun, and everybody is influenced by someone or something, so borrowing in music is unavoidable. Will they talk about Led Zeppelin hundreds of years from now? Hard to tell. They probably should, based on this type of criteria, (which I found/ borrowed from someone else): "Craftsmanship in Music Composition The elements that constitute good craftsmanship in a composer are impossible to define with complete objectivity, but most authorities would agree that a few skills are essential: 1. Knowledge of technical musical conventions and the ability to apply them consistently 2. Expertise in the three dimensions of musical texture - monophony, homophony, and polyphony - and the ability to apply them when appropriate 3. Expertise in the three dimensions of instrumentation - the sound of individual instruments, the limitations and capabilities of instruments, and the blending of different timbres together. 4. Ability to produce novel musical ideas on both small and large scales. 5. Ability to take musical ideas and develop them to the fullest extent. 6. Ability to create in a variety of genres." www.bach-cantatas.com/Articles/Defense-Bach[Reese].htm I think Page/Plant/Bonham/Zeppelin fit this criteria for greatness well. I hope you are right!
KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn this is good... No wonder I love Zeppelin. Always have!! When a song is so darn good it cannot be any better!!! This is one of those --- for sure!!!!!!! The strings make it so much better!!!!! Love it............
Brilliant performance of this iconic song and I think the Egyptian orchestra gives such authenticity to this song .. I never get tired of heating it after all these many years 😎✌️
JEEZ, Thhis the most tribal, powerful, hypnotic, mystical, egyptian, track, they seem to have everything blended together equally, i would compare it to Jane's addiction, "3 days", & Plant,s "Another tribe", those 3 tracks veer of into their own unique space, Brilliant, Fantastic, & Amazing.
At 2.28 Jimmy realises that it all coming together with a smile that says. We got this. I can imagine this is what they were thinking when they wrote it
We were lucky to see the tour they did with this ensemble. Must say, it was great. We took our teen daughter,as we knew this would probably never be repeated. Awesome.
This song will never fail to bring up memories of June/July 1980, hot days and river walks in Cottonwood AZ... it's like it was made for that place at that time
this is when one or more souls are joined together in love, without some attempt to control the human race, the hightest form of making love and at times without man's original sin, how can it be anything but incredibly beautiful: creation in action, this one: you just saved my life, tonight, sugar bear

Love Four Sticks so much though I can barely hear that "clicking" sound from the sticks..but I think the drummer did an awesome job on this and I love it. I only found 1 live version of this track in Copenhagen 1971.. the best ever.
Jimmy was just such a huge composer .. powerful...
Jimmy always seems happiest when teamed with Robert.
Its because he does justice to his riffs
I've always loved Four Sticks, but this version is just brilliant.
swordghoti Me too! It's a rare jewel- one of the most unique songs on the Zoso album. 🔥💎
Indeed.
The best version of one of the best songs ever on music's history.
And with Hossam Ramzy !!
Played it with sub speaker on?
I saw it in concert and a bit into the song a sub drum comes in and melts the audience.

WOW! JESUS, WHEN THE HEAVY BEAT OF THE DRUMS COMES IN, WOW!!!!!!!!!! JUST LIKE IF JOHN WAS THERE, WHAT A GREAT THING TO DO FOR HIS MEMORY!
This song was only played once in concert live by the real Led Zep (Copenhagen, 1971), so to hear this great live version is certainly a gift.
no video though and that suck's, my fav LZ tune, this is Awesome.
Certainly some of their best work.
th-cam.com/video/bv5KSPgDX1w/w-d-xo.html
twice actually - You can find the Odense, Denmark recording from the following day (its, as youd expect, an incredible show)
Totally agree - to hear it live is amazing
Zeppelin walked the thin line between glory and despair.
The definitive mix of rock and egyptian music,,this is pure ancestral energy of music...
Musical alchemy
Music of the filme Conan
The amazing Michael Lee! RIP... what an astounding drummer he was. Joyous, powerful!
A fitting salute to the late great John Bonham. Left us way too soon.
Michael Lee is pure joy to watch.....no wonder Page and Plant chose him for their tours.....hard to believe he is gone.....
Yeah, rip. You can see the joy on his face
The middle eastern interlude makes me imagine a beautiful bunch of horses racing in the desert. Hossam Ramzy is a rhythm genius. What a glorious version.

PHENOMENAL NO BAND CAN EVER COMPARE!!!!!!
Vinienne S Exactly!! I crack up whenever I hear people call Rush the Canadian Led Zeppelin. there's no such thing lol, ain't no limp blimp here, just the Zep!!
Vinienne Beatles 1
Love, love, love this Egyptian Orchestra. Can't sit still.
When you hear a Zep tune you think, dam that's my favorite, but then, all of them are!!!!!! They're simply the greatest band ever!!!!!!!
God bless the late great Michael Lee, a genius on the drums.
Darn, what a sheer joy it is to hear Jimmy Play drug free. You forget just how good a guitarist and innovative that man truly is. And of course no one can sing it better than Plant. The Page Plant stuff from the 1990s are a true gem. I wish I'd paid more attention to them.
Jimmy with that smile. Hes having the best time . Great version, luv the strings . 🤗🤘
Oh, baby, it's cryin' time
Oh, baby, I got to fly
I've got to try to find a way
I've got to try to find a way
Oh, baby, the river's red
Oh, baby, it's in my head
There's a funny feelin' goin' on, oh yeah
I don't think I can hold out long
And when the owls cry in the night
Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry
Oh, baby, baby, how do you feel
If the rivers run dry, baby
How do you feel, oh yeah
Oh, baby, the rainbow's end
Ahh, baby, it's just a den
It's just a den for those who hide
Oh, under love to depths of life, ohh And when the owls cry in the night
Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry
Oh, baby, how do you feel
When the rivers run dry, baby
How would you feel
Ooh yeah, the brave I endure
Ooh yeah, strong shields and lore
An' they can't hold the wrath of those who walk
An' the boots of those who march, oh
Ohh ohh, I'll never get away from you baby
Ooooh, yeah
I'll never get away from you baby
Ahhh
Ahhh, yeah
Ohhh, ahhh, yeah
Whoa yeah
Ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah, ohh yeah
Uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah,
Uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah, uh yeah
Yeah
Oh, oh
Yeah

Robert Plant is playing live these days in the UK...
Holy hell, this version gave me goosebumps!!
The time signature and rythm is genious.What a great band LedZeppelin
The main theme is in 5/4 then it switches to 3/4 for the bridges and chorus. Love it.
Saw them play this twice in 95 in California. Was absolutely brilliant.
Hermosas, hetmosas canciones, poemas maravillosos, Robert es genial!!
How can you deny talent in this song?
Best version of four sticks ever. The way it builds, MASSIVE
A huge vast improvement of classic LZ track - all the drums are a great blast here, and the strings add a sheer gusto. The final power chords are a tremendous success
Briiliant. Simply the best....
I was lucky enough to see this tour. It was amazing.
I say this must be one of the best?
💃🏻🕺🏿How can these people can sit still?? This version is grooving.
Love this version! Musical geniuses!!
Just found this in 2020 - love the Egyptian Flavour to this classic
I am amazed at what these men can do. So good, for so long. I still smile when I hear and watch them. Much joy over the decades. One of the best!
When I first heard this version, I didn't recognize the song! This version is exquisite and absolutely timeless. So happy to hear Robert singing this in his natural range - it gives it new beauty and gravity that it always cried out for before. Perfection.
They brought in very talented musicians from all over the world for this acoustic tour it rocked
So much emotion and depth, fantastic rendition.
I seen this cat live Irvine meadows if anyone in the world who could even come close to stepping in for bonzo Michael Lee was it.
my new favorite acoustic tune to play...
I use metal 5th bar chords for the triplet and then alternate the top 4 12fret harmonics and strings 2-5 harmonic...
It sounds really good

to leave jonesy and bonham out almost most your comment redundant..
You forgot JPJ and Bonzo. Without all 4 there is no Led Zeppelin.

Possibly my favourite track on this album. Magical.
All you musicians are truly gifted!
The drummer REALLY played with four sticks !... 👍
THAT WAS MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!!! THANKS!

I love this video!!!!!! These men were giants in rock & roll..........
Pages strumming is addictive
Every time I hear anything from this album I am reminded how many awesome songs came from this one album. Not a weak one among the bunch.

The greatest band ever to be seen in the Universe.
HOLY HELL! that was amazing. Both the studio and this one are amazing recordings! jeez thats awesome!
Outstanding! I would have loved to have been there when they recorded this event.
I was in Amsterdam when watching them in TV...definitely made my life happier
O.K. boys & girls this is rock & roll, make a note!!!! And creatively....
God I wish they would come back. They need to be together again. They are the best ever.
Such a wonderful song.
the drummer is a genius!!!
Best Music Live Performance on TH-cam.
At 2.28 Jimmy realises that it all coming together with a smile that says. We got this. I can imagine this is what they were thinking when they wrote it
Love that drummer!
Kid is rocking the skins!
Fantastic mix ! Wish I could have been there.
R.I.P. John Bonham there will never be another drummer such as you.
I love Jimmy♥
Astonishing
We were lucky to see the tour they did with this ensemble. Must say, it was great. We took our teen daughter,as we knew this would probably never be repeated. Awesome.
Ese solo de violines es maravilloso!!
the pleasure of playing in the attitude of the drummer; man, speechless
Magic
I never equated this with kasmir til I heard this
No one could replace bonzo.but.get over him..just love him..
My inspiration 4ever
Love this version! Reminds me of Kashmir.
Masterpiece.
This song will never fail to bring up memories of June/July 1980, hot days and river walks in Cottonwood AZ... it's like it was made for that place at that time
So far the egyptian ensemble add-on is exceptional!!!
I think that if this drummer would have lived they MIGHT have toured again. God only knows. ❤
This is absolutely epic!!

3.9 trillion views since 1971
Seen them in 94 Orlando Florida. One of the best concerts I've ever seen
Four sticks.... awesome.
this is when one or more souls are joined together in love, without some attempt to control the human race, the hightest form of making love and at times without man's original sin, how can it be anything but incredibly beautiful: creation in action, this one: you just saved my life, tonight, sugar bear
My fave Zep track. So enigmatic.
This song, this version still shines.
MsCygnusX1 this music travels you to another dimension.
@@itsaggelos4329 Absolutely!☺🌌🌠
What makes this special is seeing John’s son playing the drums with this rendition…incredible!😮🤘
That's not Jason Bonham. It's Michael Lee.
Wonderful performance!
Septiembre de 1995, Palacio de los Deportes, fue hipnótico, nos quedamos sin palabras
Absolutely Beautiful.! The Hand Of Father God Is On Wonderful Musicians With Love! Amen 🙏 ✝️😊👍🏼🇺🇸

Best version of this song (with all due respect to the memory of John Bonham).
