Jimmy was at his absolute peak here. As a guitarist there are a few times when his playing was absolutely mind blowing and this version of this song is one of those times. There are other guitarists who may be technically better but they simply cannot capture/create the overall sonic effect that makes Jimmy's playing so unique and enduring.
Agree 100 percent! This was Led Zeppelin at its mind blowing best. Unmatched then, Unmatched now. Bonham and Jonesey just absolutely blasting and Jimmy about as good as he got.
The best band in all of music didn't need a million dollar stage show, laser lights, trapezes, 100 foot walkways with dancers, jumbotrons spewing abstract visuals, explosions, fog machines or 40' tall dragons... they just needed themselves and their songs. No one writes, arranges, produces and performs music better than the almighty Led Zeppelin.
@@FastProProductions Uhh? No. Led Zeppelin deserves to be in the top, maybe better than the Rolling Stones but the Beatles??? Without the Beatles there would be no Led Zeppelin
In my humble opinion, Jimmy Page is the greatest rock guitarist,he was the most creative,and came up with so many original riffs and was just a cool person
I agree! My favorite guitarist! He seemed more like a magical wizard than just a guitarist. The use of the Theremin and Bow evoking all those strange sounds made me think so. Plus the sheer amount of notes he played and his speed and sound impressed me. Several times he blew my mind actually! The first time I heard Communication Breakdown I was stunned! Then Whole Lotta Love and Black Dog shocked me! Incredible riffs and solos! He was way ahead of everyone until Eddie Van Halen came along. Page was the first shredder I ever heard! Amazing how good he got! 😮
50 years now and still nothing has come close. gat damn - when this band fired on all cylinders, incredible, nothing else ever like it. Yes, there were/are(?) other great bands w/ great songs etc., but nobody composed and performed music like Led Zeppelin. I could watch/listen to this Zeppelin ALL DAY!
I wish Jimmy would do a professional tidy-up and release on dvd all of the unseen footage covered up by the fantasy sequences of the movie. These three concerts seen in all their glory would be a huge treat!
The Video for this Concert is filmed over 2 days in MSG. 2 different shows , same kickass music. I will listen to Zeppelin till the day I die. And I can't say that about any other band with Metallica maybe being the exception.
robert NEVER looks awkward when he has nothing to do. the singers in all the cover bands are either getting a drink or just looking awkward. he always really felt it. best front man ever, for me
Jeez, I agree, If God was asked to create the perfect frontman, this is exactly what he would come up with, Plant is the perfect frontman, beautiful hair, tall, handsome, & topped of with a voice that has awesome range. Even more than that Plant has Charisma, & that can't be bought, people in any walk of life who have it, know that they have it, if a person has,nt got it, they can never get it. Plant is on a different level to ALL front men, but equally Jimmy is the g.o.a.t guitarist, & its his band. J.P.J. is the only member of Zeppelin who is classically trained, & when Robert suggested Bonham as the drummer when they were 1st starting out, Jimmy is quoted as saying "As soon as i heard John Bonham, i just knew that he was the perfect drummer that i wanted". When they 1st got together in Gerrard st, for their 1st rehersal, J.P.J. said that it was fantastic. they just knew that it was going to work. The stars were 'aligned'. I just love Zeppelin, they are the best band ever, in the history, & the future of music, no band will ever come close ! !.
Yeah, for sure, tho i think he grew into that role. he sort of came to accept that he was "a golden god" and just wnet with it, lol, to great effect! Obviously he knows how great the music is as welll.
@@francishughes2016 Not when he was on heroin. This was before he started using. There are recordings of Page on some of their later tours that are absolutely horrible because he’s so smacked out. He would bounce back, but he was never as good as he was in the earlier days of Zeppelin.
This is the definitive live version of this song. Jimmy's tone and attack here is absolute peak. In my opinion he never played it quite this good after this, especially in '77. His tone and smoothness here is just fantastic.
‘77 was the “heroin tour” by that point Page shouldn’t have even been on tour he was so smacked out. In my opinion he never again sounded as brilliant as he did in the early years of Zeppelin culminating with this ‘73 tour.
@@barrydobrin1135 yeah I do agree with you Barry. Obviously by the 90’s Page had gotten “clean” and you could tell. He sounded great on that Page/Plant tour 👍
Your right Barry, being a guitarist and having a close buddy as one of the world's premier zeppelin bootleg collectors I've heard and seen things few people have off of every imaginable tour. And Jimmy's absolute peak was the last several shows from the second leg of their 73 American tour. I've heard several shows from the start of that tour that pale in comparison to the last several concerts. You just get better playing every night

Feel honored at that age, LZ are on the rise at this time of their careers. And they would rise even further. By 1975, at the time Physical Graffiti came out. They were selling 200 units an hour in the U.S. alone. And that's for a double album as we all know. Without a doubt, they are the G.O.A.T. where rock bands are concerned. They knocked off The Beatles, and that is saying something. Don't get me wrong, l like some of the Bugboys music. How l feel about LZ, I like every song they ever recorded. And that's all l got to say about that! ROCK ON FOREVER...
I LOVE Zep, but they really didn't age all that well... they had some great moments 75-77, but there were some flaws compared to the exquisite LED ZEPPELIN 69-75
Page ringing out those massive 12 string chords still gives me chills. Wonderful playing/singing throughout. But Page's fret work is on another planet here. Gorgeous fills and leads.
The energy in this performance could power a small city. Jimmy at his absolute best. John at his absolute best. Plant at his best, John is rock solid as usual. I've seen many tribute acts recreate this (Jimmy Samurai is the best) but no one matches this level of energy.
Jimmy Page is on fire in this song, he's amazing 👏. You should see the whole concert in the movie The Song Remains The Same that we used to go see at the midnight showing back in the 70's. I saw it lots of times. I saw them in concert for only $15. With good seats too.
Although I'm 68, I still listen to Zep almost daily after seeing them in London in '75. Prior to that show, I'd been drawn as a young woman to Robert, with fleeting notice to Jimmy as a Yardbird, BUT seeing Jimmy move like that changed my story. The sound coming from him - that aura and the magic. That's why I return, often, to this particular clip. No disrespect to Robert, but I play and replay that intro - those moves - to hear Jimmy John and JPJ make that sound. The other, for those who know what I mean, is to find Archilles Last Stand at Knebworth when it's said Jimmy had lost it. My God, you'll never see or hear anything quite like it again.
What a great all around musician Jimmy was..song arrangements..production..recording and some of the most famous riffs in rock history 4:10 and what a gentleman
Still my go to video to show just how incredible Page 's finger work flying at the speed of sound up and down the frets. At one point you do not see his fingers move. A total blur! I honestly think this is a moment in film history that magic played a part!
Honestly, I made the same remark about how many notes he playing back when I saw this at the cinema as a teenager and it lived with me ever since. Totally in awe. Still, to this day.
Led Zeppelin at there absolute best, Jimmy Page's guitar playing is mesmerizing. I saw them in 75 in Philadelphia, unbelievable,but this is as good as rock and roll gets.
That never gets old… was lucky enough to see them in 1988 at the Atlantic records 40th anniversary. They weren’t very good , but I didn’t care…was like a dream come true.
Best time I listened to this version was through headphones from Pioneer turntable/Sherwood amplifier while sitting on a chair staring off into the sky through our huge front room window in Schaumburg, Illinois. That was 1977. I was 11. I still prefer listening to it than watching....
Absolutely my favourite live performance EVER. I only wish there were more shots of John Bonham and JP Jones but they sound magnificent all four of them. Legendary.
For me, Jimmy Page and Mick Taylor are the two guitarists that I will never grow tired of hearing them play! They hit my audio g spot and it's like I am mesmerized. Fantastic!
Am 60 and This was the 1st Album I ever bought as a 14 year old. Now, about thrice a year, I revisit my youth in the backyard with a Guinness or two. The raw power, mysticism, artistry always excites me to my 14 year old self.
Truly magical sound. Page was such A Beast as Master of The Riff. A Truly Exceptional, Inspirational, and hard working musician and band menber. For those that listened, it was Great Music and Great Time Growing Up in America.
This is where you see why Led Zep were unique. Each member is in perfect musical synch with every other they anticipate what each other is going to do its almost telepathic
I first saw this as a 15 year old in 1983. 40 years later, I can honestly say that it’s still one of the greatest rock performances ever. Minus Plants voice, you have three top musicians on their respective instruments, absolutely KILLING it! So much sound and swag. If Zeppelin is the GOAT (which I believe they are), out of all their classic, timeless songs that influenced millions, if I had to pick one single live performance to emphasize just how good these guys were, it’d be this one.
What gets me is how they segue straight into that delicate and perfect rendition of Rain Song when the adrenalin must be pumping so hard for Jimmy that it even drowns the smack out.
All of them take the song to a higher level somehow. Together they are greater than the sum of their parts. There's so much sonic brilliance coming from them. When they're firing on all cylinders, they were the best.
Ohhhh Yea!!!!! I remember seeing the movie. I was in complete awe of how flippin badass they were & they STILL ARE after all these years. Zeppelin NEVER to be duplicated or replicated. Da Zep 4 Life!🤘!🤘!🤘!🤘!
You can see how much Pagey loves playing this. His feet are kicking and he is smiling as he dances. This song is not an easy one to nail down. Great stuff!
I feel so much emotion from al the songs played at this show. It seems as though the band had hit their stride and their performance was intense. As an example, the Rain Song. It is a bit dark and deep. Miss this band and this era of music.
50 years now, and still no other band has ever approached what Led Zep were and are. They're still the greatest rock & roll band there ever was or ever will be. Half a century later, and still nobody else has approached the level of who and what Led Zeppelin were and always will be. Like The Higlhlander ~ there can be only one. Fifty years and counting, and still, nobody has ever done this stuff as well as Zeppelin. Fifty years on, and still, nobody has done more to define what the genre is or what it means, how you define it, than Led Zeppelin. Rock & Roll ~ Is Led Zeppelin.
What you're witnessing here is 4 master musicians intertwining their talents together perfectly. But for me, Jimmy stands out as he drives the mighty Zep mothership with his controlled mastery, an artist at work. It's the equivalent of watching Picasso painting a masterpiece.
picasso could easily repeat his works, jimmy was like the senior Jimmy, don't think they ever played same solo next show even if they remembered what they played night before, love them both but no comparison to picasso. ( but i can think some painters after picasso you can compare them with )
my favourite part of the whole song! the whole arrangement is unbelievable though, i can’t comprehend how a single man could write it all! thats pagey for ya

No question about Jimmy's playing here but Bonzo puts down the ultimate groove. I can listen to this song 10 times in a row.
john paul jones really sets the groove to me lol

Agree 100 percent! This was Led Zeppelin at its mind blowing best. Unmatched then, Unmatched now. Bonham and Jonesey just absolutely blasting and Jimmy about as good as he got.
Absolute peak of their powers
This particular version of this particular song is, to me, every single thing that is great about Led Zeppelin
Look at Pagey dancin and kickin , totally in the zone!
At the absolute top of his swagger!! 😀
He was ecstatic. His dream of escaping the session world and having a guitar-driven band exceeded his wildest expectations
Jimmy was an absolute beast on the 12-string 😮
We’ll never see this level of musicianship combined with this level of song writing EVER AGAIN. 🐐
I sadly must concur.
😊
Exactly, Never
Never ever
Can't get better than that
THE GREATEST ROCK N ROLL BAND!
It's hard to believe that's 1 guitar. No band has, or will ever touch these guys. Zep '23
Zep 24
😂 You're senile. Duane and Dickey both were 1000x better than sloppy Jimmy. And ABB was a better band.
Best band in the history of the world!!!!!
next to pink floyd...maybe?

Ain't that the truth. 61 here and needed something on way to gym to kickstart my 14 year old brain.

Not many drummers could go toe to toe withJimmy Page like Bonzo did...and with such groove and musicality.
Never overplayed or misused any notes ., As ,so many now...
Actually it's the other way around. J.Page has to keep in line with Bonzo or Jimmy would just go off on a 45 min guitar solo. 😂😂
Estoy completamente de acuerdo...Bonham es el mejor acompañante tocando la batería de la historia...un Messi de los baterías
Toe to toe? Page even admits Bonzo was the lead and the kingpin. Listen closer

I have the 4hr directors cut on my DVR and listen to it often while doing stuff around the house. 👍
Just listen to that fantastic bass line work from JPJ. Outstanding.
The Energy was so powerful during that performance that it reverberated through the entire Madison square garden building.
Anybody who listens to this and doesn't realize this is the greatest rock band of all time is a moran
"moran" lol

The Biggest Band In The WORLD
Fantastic!! One of Zep's best songs and Jimmy was sharp on this
You can see how much Pagey loves playing this. His feet are kicking and he is smiling as he dances. This song is not an easy one to nail down. Great stuff!
I feel so much emotion from al the songs played at this show. It seems as though the band had hit their stride and their performance was intense. As an example, the Rain Song. It is a bit dark and deep. Miss this band and this era of music.
The double guitar of Jimmy is amazing
50 years now, and still no other band has ever approached what Led Zep were and are. They're still the greatest rock & roll band there ever was or ever will be.
Half a century later, and still nobody else has approached the level of who and what Led Zeppelin were and always will be.
Like The Higlhlander ~ there can be only one.
Fifty years and counting, and still, nobody has ever done this stuff as well as Zeppelin.
Fifty years on, and still, nobody has done more to define what the genre is or what it means, how you define it, than Led Zeppelin.
Rock & Roll ~ Is Led Zeppelin.
Hi Jimmy hope u are well! You are the bomb luv you lynne❤
Mark well done. 73 Zep greatest of all time.
Absolutely astonishing. Takes my breath away, literally....
Absolutely love this edit!
There are so many great guitarists but Jimmy is in a different class. His instrumentals are like no other
As well as his stage presence
What you're witnessing here is 4 master musicians intertwining their talents together perfectly. But for me, Jimmy stands out as he drives the mighty Zep mothership with his controlled mastery, an artist at work. It's the equivalent of watching Picasso painting a masterpiece.
not at all
picasso could easily repeat his works, jimmy was like the senior Jimmy, don't think they ever played same solo next show even if they remembered what they played night before, love them both but no comparison to picasso.
( but i can think some painters after picasso you can compare them with )
My favourite
Who else eagerly anticipates that killer riff Pagey plays at 4:48? Gets me every time.
my favourite part of the whole song! the whole arrangement is unbelievable though, i can’t comprehend how a single man could write it all! thats pagey for ya
3.26 to 3.40 gets me as well ❤️
Short lived and badass.
My gosh...JPJ's galloping bass rhythm along with Bonzo, and Jimmy just kicking butt and in the zone! One of my favorite sections.
5:14 for me the ending riff on the solo is amazing
Bonhams hammering, is phenomenal!! ❤
