I’m a 15 year old boy and I discovered this band a few years ago. They inspired me to play guitar. I bought myself a guitar with my self earned money. I practiced 2 hours every day. Now guitar is my passion and Led Zepplin my favorite band.
Jon, what made Led Zeppelin VERY unique among any rock band is that each of the members is still to this day thought of as a "Top-5" Greatest Drummer (or Guitarist, Bassist, Lead Singer). And each one of them knew from the jump that they had something special, which is why if one of the members suddenly died, as was the obvious case with Bonham, there was no replacing his presence. Bonzo is seen by most as rock's greatest drummer ever, but it was his powerful, driving presence that couldn't have been replaced, and they all knew it.
Its 1970 and im 2 years old. I still remember my oldest brother by 11 years playing Zeppelin I and the red and green Atlantic Records lable spinning around. Been my favorite band ever since....every song.
I was 26 years old in 1970 and was going to my first concert ever. I saw Led Zeppelin; what a way to start concert going. It was so heavy that 3 of my friends disappeared during the concert. We hooked up outside the Montreal Forum after the show. They said it was just to powerful for them. I was myself stunned. I'm now 75 years old and was fortunate enough to have seen them 3 more times. Vancouver in 75 2 nights in a row. Seattle 77 I have had some amazing memories in my life. I got to spend time with Royalty...Lunch with NHL legend...Shake hand with the Dalai Lama and got to know Elvis Costello...these are all amazing memories for me...but Led Zeppelin concerts are always at the top of my list. They were amazing...beyond amazing.
I was lucky enough to meet Plant at a bowling alley of all places! What a gentleman!! Pure class, sat and spoke to me and my three buddies for 30min,. These artists today wouldn't spent a minute !!
I'm not so sure about that because i met James and lars from metallica and they were just the most normal coolest guy's that you'd never know they were in one of the biggest bands ever
I'll never forget the day Bonham died. I had saved enough money to get the mail order tickets ( that's the only way they were available at the time in my city ) and was just waiting for the day that we were told to mail it in. Then the news broke, and I was beyond devastated. Skipped school that whole week ( I was a senior ) and just got wasted with my friends and we all cried a lot.
I was in the music business and dated a bass player in New York that was close with Jimmy Page . I heard they were dabbling too much in satanic rituals so when Bonham died quickly after that ritual, it freaked out the band. It’s like evil bit them in the ass.
Read another story like this not sure if its on this video but the guy said he had just gotten his mail tickets and was driving home one night amd heard the news break on the radio amd pulled over his car got out amd just started crying. I cop pulled up amd asked what was going on and the cop told him it would be ok tham followed him home to make sure he was OK.
I moved to Alaska from Texas at the age of 13 in 1975. I discovered their Physical Graffiti album there and listened to all those awesome tunes while driving in the mountains smoking weed and living my best life lol. I will never forget those years. My dad bought me a guitar for Christmas that December and I've been a guitar player ever since.
it’s bittersweet being someone my age and liking bands from the 60s/70s/80s because although the music is indescribable, it’s sucks not being able to see them perform because they’re either a. dead b. retired or c. broken up
Not to mention being able to share this music with like-minded friends. I have one who listens to Nickleback, and when they say they're fresh (or whatever), I ask if they ever wrote a Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog or Stairway to Heaven - the conversation usually ends right there.
Led Zeppelin was and still is an anomaly, caked in mysticism. Hard to define. Definitely rock with blues, yet John Bonham brings an element of jazz and chaos while John Paul Jones has a composed element with his studio background. JPJ is a major element in this band that gets overshadowed. His deep understanding of music theory brought so much to Zep. Definitely one of my favorite musicians.
Incredible band. Unequalled. I live in Kidderminster. Zeppelin runs through my veins at 55 years old and to have the occasional time to meet Plant at various places as he goes about his life is a pure joy. He is the nicest man you could wish to meet. Give him his space and respect and be just blends into local life. Plant is an absolute legend in every respect of the word
The one decision Led Zeppelin made above all other decisions that makes them look like they were in total control of their legacy is that they did what The Beatles did. Zep never gave in to external pressure. They always did everything on their terms and the media and record industry accepted that or didn't. When a band conducts their business like that, you can't help but respect them.
Total agreement on the greatest band of my time, I'm only 67, lol but zep is the deal of my life, along with so many great bands. Rock and roll will never die, God speed guy's, rest in peace john. Greatest drummer of all time.
Well,it makes it no easier,but let me say this.JH never needled. But he could seriously drink. Im there. I saw the photos. Sleep on your side. Damn! Rule 6
Great interview about how they all connected. I can’t believe Robert Plant was 19 and working just an ordinary job and became a major part of Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page is absolutely fantastic. 🎸
I'm 62 now and a retired PhD. Engineer, married to a beautiful, smart wife with two great kids, so I have had a very full life but I can still remember the first moment I heard Zeppelin...I had been at the beach all day and got a ride home with a buddy (it was '73 I would guess, maybe '74)...he plugged in an 8 track (Houses of the Holy) and as it started to play I asked him...Wow, who are these guys?, He replied oh that's Led Zeppelin...I was instantly hooked and their genius was immediately evident to me. Still my Fave band in the world. Oh and I saw the boys in '77 at the Old Capital center in D.C. when I was in the right place at the right time as a young Marine.
Omg. I was in high school and didn't go to that Cap Center concert for some stupid stupid reason and that was the last chance I'd ever have to see them. Who knew at the time tho right? Hindsight is 20/20 as they say.
those 8 tracks were the best transport medium we had back then & they were nasty. Tape often got eaten up from time to time & we were lucky if we could salvage them. Cassettes which followed were slightly better.
Had tickets for the late 77 show in Philly. Canceled when Plants son died. Also had Lynryd Skynryd tickets for a November 77 show. Two refunds I definitely didn’t want. I remember the tickets for both were well under $10. Saw LS in June 77 but never saw Zeppelin.
@@Darrylizer1 I had just rolled in to D.C. as my first duty station after ITR and heard the radio advertisement that tickets would only be sold at the Cap Center and it was general admission. I checked in and then begged my new 1st Sgt. to let me burn a day of leave standing in line for tickets. The line started the night before and I just slept on a sleeping bag...got two tickets and asked a cute teller at the Navy Federal CU to go with me...we had a blast...what a concert.
During that Interview at the beginning, Page, probably 15-16 years old, is asked how does he like working with well-known musicians. He says “Rather disappointing, really.” That says it all. Page, the entire band, was beyond all other bands, from another planet, time, dimension. Exceptional and extraordinary.
Frankincensed i heard the rest of that quote. page goes on to explain that the artists he 'sessioned' for were more often than not unprofessional, unappreciative, and generally surly.
So nostalgic. Led Zeppelin was my favorite band in the 70’s. My parents divorced when I was 10 years old and I lived with my sister and mom in Chicago. My dad was in California so he wasn’t there for my “formative years”. Dad was a blues player in Chicago years before and didn’t care for “modern music”. After high school I moved to California to be with dad on his sailboat. I brought all my cassette tapes of Zeppelin with me and a terrible little tape player. He’d hear what I was listening to and ask who that was? “Come on dad, it’s only the greatest rock band of all time.” He didn’t like Robert Plant’s screeching voice, so I turned on Jimmy Page playing, “Going to California” on acoustic guitar. He started to cry. He said, “Son, that’s a beautiful song. Why’d you pick that one?” I said, “That’s the song that brought me to you dad. I’m in California now.” He gave me a hug and he never complained about Led Zeppelin again. He really listened and appreciated the phenomenal musicianship beneath the noise of some of their more crazy works. Good times.
So many real Rock Music fans go through a Led Zep phase,,,, even most musicians .. Saw in Zeppelin IN Seattle ,,was great,, Watch early days ,,,They were a Band of Brothers that changed music,,, and toured and played.. AND NEVER SOLD OUT .. except for every concert .
They are the reason I wish I got to live the 70's. I honestly wish I could jump in a delorean and go back so I could follow them on tour all over the world.
I've said the same thing many times. Though I can't say Zep was the only reason as there's plenty of musicians from then who aren't around anymore that I wish I could have seen..but Zep is definitely at the Top of the list!
Hey I was there for you, saw them Tampa 77 (the riot) all good. Also was there for Pink Floyd 77 in Tampa, Animals tours one of the best concerts I have seen
They were something else for sure. I was lucky (?:) being born in ‘57,so, yeah, I grew up with this band & all the other giants providing the soundtrack to my life. No mistake though, these guys were THE GIANTS. I say this having been around to witness the Beatles.
Their music is weird, overwhelming, masterful, beautiful, poetic and sexual all at the same time! Every album was like a whole new can of worms. Never will there be anything like these guys again.
Great description I feel the same. Perceptive we are. And yes a single artist is there own person there own musician and yes can never be recreated when there truly showing them selves then there truly ORIGINAL and then you put them all together with a poet and ya just like my own music it’s pure passion like making love ... it won’t be headed again. Let’s hope we here some more that can move us like these guys. Move soooo many today
I always wondered why they rarely say much about him after the bands start. It seemed kinda crappy. But idk. Maybe he preferred it that way? I mean they took alot of pics without him in the frame. And then they left him out of that Collab. Didn't evèn give him a choice. Weird. I of course didnt notice any of thís in thè years they were the fave band of school and after school and parties and you know. Everywhere for awhile for all of us in my area.🤔🤘 They couldn't go on without Bonham. I gét that but again that was the 4th to make the magic. Seems it's different with the 3 and then no John. I'll love Led Zep forever but you can seé how hard of lives Jimmy and Robert had versus John Paul now. Imho. Robert DID have a pretty heart wrenching home life later tho. Idk much about the other 2. I'm curious. Gonna see what else I can find. Didn't know Bonham died so close to Lennon either. That's freaky.
What a treat, a Led Zeppelin documentary with the guys from Led Zeppelin in it. Really cool stuff! This band made such an impression on me musically. Those albums I tell you. Nothing quite like them.
I was totally obsessed with them too.. I ordered led zep 1 from my local record store in 1969.. A month later I got a call to go pick it up. When I got there they said that they we out of stock on Zep 1 and that Zep ll had just been released and they had sent that instead
@@williamrosenlof453 well, i gotta say, it has been 45 years of loving these guys. Now 45 years is a long time....so these boys are the ages off my parents...with only one small factor...they don't enjoy this plethora of the finest music ever written/ sung/ or performed. Rock on🕊
@@trixiedelight9874 It has definitely been a long time loving The Mighty Led Zeppelin and all-encompassing! When I put one of their discs in my car, it stays in for days if not weeks. I can't really ever get enough of them. I was raised by 2 rockin rollers, my father and my mom's boyfriend of 20 plus yrs. Both influenced me musically and introduced me to music my friends hadn't even discovered yet. When I was 4 yrs. old, I remember begging my mother not to turn the car off until the song was over! I believe it was Brother Louie. Rock on! Tammie Miller
One of my absolute favorite bands ever. It is life changing. Whenever I want to feel something to shock me out of my depressing existence, I put on Led Zepplin. It revives me.
So cool to hear you say that, I can relate because songs suddenly took on new meaning that I had liked for 30 years when my life was turned upside down. . . I have to thank Led Zeppelin for helping me Ramble On. . .
The one regret I think I'll die with when my life ends, is not having seen Led Zeppelin live in their prime or at all. It makes my heart ache, they're my favourite band and I'll never get to see them at their best on stage. Best band ever created.
Same here. Had tickets to a December 77 show at the Spectrum in Philly that was canceled due to a death in Plant’s family. Believe it was his son’s death.
I was there at the Fillmore East 31 Jan 1969 for their first Fillmore gig. They were 2nd billing for Iron Butterfly, an already formidable group. No one really knew who Zeppelin were at that point. They came on stage and blew the place away. They were forced to do 3 or 4 encores for us, and when Iron Butterfly finally came on to play, Doug Ingle took the mic to say "Let's have another hand for Led Zeppelin." They played 20 minutes and that was it. The show was already finished when LZ left the stage. The history of rock changed that night. The next day, I bought the LP, and that was it. What else can you say?
James it was just to much for 1st time concert goers. My buddies just couldn't handle it and left. It was too powerful. Me? Well I stayed but I found I couldn't turn my head to cross the street lol... I had to turn my whole body. I got back to hotel...sat on my bed...kicked my shoes off and i was out like a light before my head hit the pillow. I have seen many bands in concert since, but none affected us like the Zeppelin concert.
they were and are the most unique rockband. like one organism builded by 4 super talents. I was still teenager, when they came out. I'm so thankful to have lived in these times
Led Zeppelin I & II were the most incredible albums ever made. I spent years with headphones on listening to them back to back. Roll up some 70's Santa Marta Gold and rock out with the hammer of the Gods.
@FUCK YOU It's obvious you weren't alive when they exploded on the music scene. I and II changed music forever. th-cam.com/video/yO2n7QoyieM/w-d-xo.html
drralph100 That they were those first two albums. Many prefer l (one) because it’s the first. Me I like ll (second). The first was absolutely great unprecedented hard driving rock, folk, blues, you name it. However all the professional reviews say the second album was everything the first one was but better!
Mate they are great... but the best albums ever? It seems a bit excessive. I wouldn’t say they match up with IV, or Exile on Main Street, Sgt peppers lonely hearts club band, Velvet underground and nico, Ziggy Stardust, Highway 61 revisited, fuckin hell a lot of amazing records. I mean LZ II was huge but the first is just alright, nothing THAT big imo.
I was in the first grade when my father brought home the first Zeppelin album. I remember being mesmerized by it. Eventually, all of their records were in my home. I spent hours listening to them growing up. I graduated high school in 1980... it was the end of an era, but not the end of my love affair with their music.
Led Zeppelin was easily the most intelligent act of its era. Each member was genius in knowledge of and working their instruments including Plant and his vocals. The work ethic of the band was phenomenal and tour scheduling proved it. No other rock band on the planet produced what Led Zeppelin did. Led Zeppelin was a snow ball rolling down Mt Everest...and everybody knows the mechanics of that snowball rolling downhill gathering more snow...it never stops growing bigger.
4:12 "Combining the raw power and intensity of hard rock with the finesse of contemporary blues and the delicacy of British folk music." I was looking for a way to describe Led Zep in one sentence to my friends... and now I have it. Thanks for posting this video.
You know, sitting and watching this video I got that old feeling of bopping the head a bit as certain riffs were being played. I discovered Led Zeppelin ( here in Australia) when I heard one of their songs ( Misty Mountain Hop ) in 1972 and fell in love with them. I was 16 back then. Now at 64 I still get those tingles down the spine when I hear them play.
I am a 45 year old chick born in the 70's and I was extremely lucky to have a dad that played guitar in his own bands and passed his love of "GOOD" music to me Led Zeppelin is the greatest band of all time EVER with Pink Floyd running a close second wished music was this great now a days cause the music now a days just sucks
I can relate. I'm 47 and my parents always had good music on the turntable in the house when I was a kid. They turned me on to Zeppelin, Cream, Hendrix, Blue Cheer, etc. All the heavy stuff. I got into Floyd and Rush later on. Like you said the music now sucks so bad but luckily there were tons of good bands in the 60's and 70's that we can listen to. A lot of the bands who never made it big in the 60's and 70's were just as good as the big names. Check out a band called The Pretty Things. They were around in the 60's and 70's and sounded amazing. All the guys in Zeppelin were huge fans of them so when Zeppelin started their own record label (Swan Song) the first band they signed was The Pretty Things.
I was a little boy and my dad was a Zepplin fan Grew up listening to them The sound the album covers When we moved from Wisconsin to Texas l was 5 and we drove ( well Dad drove l rode) I woke up in his best friend's apartment with Led Zepplin II playing and the sun coming up That is how l remember seeing San Antonio for the first time Sleepy eye with cutting vocals of Plant and mystcal stringbending of Page while thunderous bass lines and hammering drums took over my heartbeats 46 years later and l hear that album ( yes l own it on that huge black disk white sound and all) and l go back to that five year old sprout of a poet captured by the vision of Page Thanks for posting this doc
One of the reasons I started playing guitar. Just an amazing bunch of musicians that ruled the world for a short time. Great documentary with Zep music in it, not music that is "in the vein of".
Simply put, greatest rock n roll band that will ever exist.

I can't imagine a world without Led-Zepplen. Black Sabbath as well. True pioneers who created genre's and laid the groundwork for countless bands even to this date.
Zeppelin has been a part of my life since 1974. Thanks for this video and the comments. Their music saw me through the good times and the bad. Never had the chance to see them, I remember when John Bonham died it broke a million plus hearts. Just reading the comments here I see 2500+ people who they inspired too.
I found zeppelin in the 80s , I was only 9 years old and I realized they were on a whole different level than any of the bands of our time. None of my friends knew who they were or cared. No one I knew could understand why I was obsessed with them and not bands like Motley Crue or poison. Then MTV started marketing them as part of the classic rock revival. All of a sudden they were cool and all my friends were begging for copies of my tapes
The first time I saw Jimmy use the bow on his guitar, I couldn't believe my eyes. This was when he was with the Yardbirds. He has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Those were the days.
Maybe the world didn't deserve something so perfect for more then 12 years, Zeppelin was a phenomenon, they invented what a rock band is and should be and changed the business for everyone. I still well up 40 years later about losing Bonham and the band breaking up, and I'm still trying to play Jimmy's breaks the way he did😊. At least I was lucky enough to be around in that era, I feel sorry for the generations that followed us
I was let into the arena when Zep took a long time to come on for their third encore in Montreal during their Physical Grapphiti tour in 1975. This was the tour when Jimmy broke a finger before the tour started. I was standing at center ice beside the boards and was lucky to see them play Heartbreaker. I was 14 years-old.
Brought me straight back to tears when they started talking about Bonzo's death. My favorite song/group... from age 10 until today. 53 years, i am so happy i was born in 67 so i have had this music as the soundtrack to my life. ♡ u Jimmy, always.
Yep I was there as well, it was in the Coliseum! I saw them again two years later. I feel very fortunate to have seen them twice before Bohnam died.Their music is timeless it just Never gets old, by far my all time favorite band.
@@mikenuzzo3323 No Zeppelin didn't die but everything for the band certainly changed, the spirit of Led Zeppelin lives on like only the very best can do!
They're my favorite. I was just about a year old when John Bonham died. So I learned of them around age 9 or 10 and loved them ever since. They were my favorite as a kid, still are today. I would have definitely gone to see them when Jason Bonham filled in for his dad, but I was in the Marine Corps and the military doesn't allow you to do what you want when you want, obviously. So I just cherish my dad's original vinyl he bought as a young man and continue to be a fan. Best Rock band EVER!
I've listened to a lot of music and played in many bands myself, but I've never seen a band full of great musicians and song writers that could play their asses off while writing some of the most diverse, creative, passionate music this world's ever seen.
I saw Plant solo 3X, Page and Plant 2X and Jason Bonham 3X doing his Led Zeppelin Experience and once with Heart. My biggest regret next to not see Led Zeppelin is missing Them Crooked Vultures with John Paul Jones and Dave Grohl
Only just recently decided to rebuild my music library. I'm 64. Sold all my vinyls long ago to pay rent etc. First CDs bought? LZ 1,2,3,4, Houses, Phys. Song and Coda. I don't ever want to be without this amazing sound.
When the band was inducted into the HOF and it was Jones' turn at the podium, he said, "I"d like to thank my friends for finally remembering my phone number."
I was thinking about that. I think Plant didn't invite him to the MTV Unplugged thing, because then it would have been a Led Zep reunion, minus Bonzo. And I don't think he (Plant) could deal with that thought. Playing with Jimmy he could allow himself, adding the other member would just be too much like a reforming of a band that couldn't be reformed. Well, at that point anyway, obv they worked it out a few years later when Jason could step up, Or, maybe they were just being assholes, who knows? But that was my initial thought, for what it's worth.
Not often mentioned: As Led Zeppelin blew the lid off music for so many future bands, Peter Grant did the same for management. You'll never get another one like him.
The Led Zeppelin filled a void that we all knew existed with a unique awareness grabbing music that rushed into our very being. It gave a power and a life of invincibility before, during, and after going into war. I've always said it was Led Zeppelin music that got me back home alive from Viet Nam. The sound of a Huey helicopter and Led Zep music takes me back to those times; Good Times Bad Times. I still get a tingle, a rush, and a feeling of invincibility when I hear their music. Going to sit on my Shovelhead to remember those friends and warriors I've lost. Mike, Mac, Steven, David, Bill, and Jim, we made a vow to live life for those who never returned. I hope I lived up to your expectations. I hope I was crazy enough. See you guys soon. Lone survivor of childhood friends lost to an insane war. I love you guys.
Led Zeppelin is the best. Their music, their legacy and friendship, the geniality of 4 people that create all of this masterpieces in unique. I listen a lot of rock and roll music and a lot of type of music ( especialli hard rock but I like almost reggae, ska, techno Detroit, hard tek, house music, progressive rock and many more). But they are my favourite of all time.
I turned 25 in 1980 and we had a huge Led Zeppelin album party in southern California. The news about John Bonham was devastating and then Mount St. Helens erupted in Seattle ❤🎉😮
I was born in '71. So I never got to go to the concerts. But my uncle who was more of a father to me then my father was always listened to Zeppelin. By time I was 5 in '76. I was sneaking into his record collection, and listening to all the Zeppelin albums. When I turned 10. He gave me that record collection. I still have and treasure them to this day. I am 48 now, and Zeppelin has always been a huge part of my life.
Though I totally still love everything Led Zeppelin and their music is part of who I was and am today, and there was. Nothing like them ever, one band in my opinion that reminds me of them is Kingdom Come, who are also a part of me musically today, and I am 65 yrs old n used to sing and dance and perform heavy metal music in Detroit. Great movie!!! Thanks for posting it!!!!
I am your age and relate to all you've said. I saw them once. I was 15yrs old now 65, and looked forward seeing Led Zeppelin that night with my school friend. Well it was a warm night in 73. The night atmosphere was amazing. I nearly fainted when Plant performed Black Dog their first song. I tripped down a staircase and broke my heal heading back to my place after interval. TODAY when viewing their videos..it takes me back to the 15yr old i was, i feel as pure and youthful as i was that night in the 70s. All was great then, freedom was possible, no abuse, friendly hippies everywhere, happy people, welcoming people, warmth and peace all about. Anyway, after reading your comment I felt an alikeness to your love of this epic great , forever the grandest band in the world..cheers from Australia. ⚘🌷🌻🌺
It one was to be made, they'd probably name it Stairway or Stairway to heaven because that's their most famous song. I think just calling it Led Zeppelin would be better though
Best band there ever was, or probably ever will be, truly Hammer of the Gods stuff, when that rhythm section got going dancing in-out and around the beat, it was dizzying, best of the best!
I don't remember who it was, but I once heard another musician say that Led Zeppelin was better on their worst day than any other band was on their best day. ❤🤘
I was blown away at three live concerts 1975 1977/ L.A. Forum and the sounds lasers surround sound speakers Wow youth were in shock at their power. I was hooked for life I'm 61 still listening!
Love TH-cam so much cause now we have all this great relationship, interviews with Plant, Page, Bonham, & Jonesy, this did exist 40 years ago you could never have previously looked at any of these things none of these personal interviews. None of these inside looks of your favorite band mine is always Led Zeppelin when now it's all here for the world to see it's possible. I love Robert Plant so much, I feel like I know him almost like a brother, & I've never met the "Man" he is a gift from Heavens. I'm excited to say, I'm going to see him with Allison Krauss in Lake Tahoe NV at Harvey's Casino 8/20/2022....very excited this will the 8th time I've seen him since I started attending his concerts in 1983' Principle of Moments Tour. He & Led Zeppelin changed music & the world, forever. My world in 1969, at age when my brother played "Whole Lotta Love" for me, my mind was altered forever Led Zeppelin & Robert Plant The GOATS🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🎶🎶🎵🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
It's hard to describe the enormous impact and popularity of Led Zeppelin back in the 1970s, it was so unprecedented. Think of The Beatles and The Stones at the height of their own incredible success, the only other comparable bands.
I’m a 15 year old boy and I discovered this band a few years ago. They inspired me to play guitar. I bought myself a guitar with my self earned money. I practiced 2 hours every day. Now guitar is my passion and Led Zepplin my favorite band.
Keep at it, man! Sounds like how I started playing guitar. It's been a really good experience as a musician for me :)
No one cares how old you are.
Right on!
@@Mrbrownstone1028 Go home, grandma. You're drunk!
Oh man that is to cool. Keep it up learning guitar. Maybe I’ll see you on stage one day
I listened to Led Zeppelin II as a youngster often and i can still remember the smell of vinyl in the late summer afternoons - AWESOME BAND ALWAYS
Led Zeppelin made music that goes in through your ears where you hear it then you feel it through the rest of your body
John Paul Jones deserves so much more recognition. He was So important to Led Zep.
Love the way He plays you are totally right
Think kashmir without jpj
Jon, what made Led Zeppelin VERY unique among any rock band is that each of the members is still to this day thought of as a "Top-5" Greatest Drummer (or Guitarist, Bassist, Lead Singer). And each one of them knew from the jump that they had something special, which is why if one of the members suddenly died, as was the obvious case with Bonham, there was no replacing his presence. Bonzo is seen by most as rock's greatest drummer ever, but it was his powerful, driving presence that couldn't have been replaced, and they all knew it.
More... he's just happy
Big time
Its 1970 and im 2 years old. I still remember my oldest brother by 11 years playing Zeppelin I and the red and green Atlantic Records lable spinning around. Been my favorite band ever since....every song.
I was 26 years old in 1970 and was going to my first concert ever. I saw Led Zeppelin; what a way to start concert going. It was so heavy that 3 of my friends disappeared during the concert. We hooked up outside the Montreal Forum after the show. They said it was just to powerful for them. I was myself stunned. I'm now 75 years old and was fortunate enough to have seen them 3 more times. Vancouver in 75 2 nights in a row. Seattle 77 I have had some amazing memories in my life. I got to spend time with Royalty...Lunch with NHL legend...Shake hand with the Dalai Lama and got to know Elvis Costello...these are all amazing memories for me...but Led Zeppelin concerts are always at the top of my list. They were amazing...beyond amazing.
Amazing testimonial my friend. Bravo for you ! Thanks for sharing something amazing!
@@wardoc0435 It was pretty amazing for sure....Thanks glad to share it.
Robert Worth , beauty
@@amilcarvalenca3381Thanks your right
And I'm 20 and still trying to get into med school , you give me hope sir , maybe things will get better.
I was lucky enough to meet Plant at a bowling alley of all places! What a gentleman!! Pure class, sat and spoke to me and my three buddies for 30min,. These artists today wouldn't spent a minute !!
Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil sure does. She is a true class act.
sure different today
You're probably right but their music will live on forever and ever
hey Stan..did Robert bowl a 300?..how could he not...
I'm not so sure about that because i met James and lars from metallica and they were just the most normal coolest guy's that you'd never know they were in one of the biggest bands ever
Jimmy & Robert were both gorgeous in their hay day... all the men back in that time had some very beautiful healthy hair
yes, and the way they all wore their trousers back in that day, can be quite distracting, in the nicest of ways
Herion and jack whiskey does wonders for the hair
They all did
Jimmy still is gorgeous
I still have beautiful long hair at 63. It turned blond a couple of years ago.
My mom kept the newspaper article when Bonham died. Still has it. She’s almost 80
I'll never forget the day Bonham died. I had saved enough money to get the mail order tickets ( that's the only way they were available at the time in my city ) and was just waiting for the day that we were told to mail it in. Then the news broke, and I was beyond devastated. Skipped school that whole week ( I was a senior ) and just got wasted with my friends and we all cried a lot.
I did the same thing. I heard that Bonham died in the soccer lockeroom....
I was in the music business and dated a bass player in New York that was close with Jimmy Page . I heard they were dabbling too much in satanic rituals so when Bonham died quickly after that ritual, it freaked out the band. It’s like evil bit them in the ass.
Read another story like this not sure if its on this video but the guy said he had just gotten his mail tickets and was driving home one night amd heard the news break on the radio amd pulled over his car got out amd just started crying. I cop pulled up amd asked what was going on and the cop told him it would be ok tham followed him home to make sure he was OK.
I was recording, on a cassette, songs from the radio, when the dj broke in with the fact that John Bonham had died. I still have that recording.
I bet you wanted to bring him back to life just so you can throttle him again before you make him take you to the concert and get a front seat.
It still to this day boggles my mind how four of the best musicians on the planet ended up in one band...Pure Magic
WORD
Best rock group ever
@@pattyleabo426I would go one further...best Band ever.
It was fate
No it was jimmy page that put the best band together it was a concerted effort.
I moved to Alaska from Texas at the age of 13 in 1975. I discovered their Physical Graffiti album there and listened to all those awesome tunes while driving in the mountains smoking weed and living my best life lol. I will never forget those years. My dad bought me a guitar for Christmas that December and I've been a guitar player ever since.
it’s bittersweet being someone my age and liking bands from the 60s/70s/80s because although the music is indescribable, it’s sucks not being able to see them perform because they’re either a. dead b. retired or c. broken up
Not to mention being able to share this music with like-minded friends. I have one who listens to Nickleback, and when they say they're fresh (or whatever), I ask if they ever wrote a Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog or Stairway to Heaven - the conversation usually ends right there.
Or D. Too old to have the same impact.
@@merrillmilner8717 Yes that's a great way to end a conversation.
And you can apply it to any band ever who isn't LZ
rachel wilper Plenty of great music around today though, so you have the best of both worlds. Enjoy it while you can :-)
Love that era..miss it.
Led Zeppelin was and still is an anomaly, caked in mysticism. Hard to define. Definitely rock with blues, yet John Bonham brings an element of jazz and chaos while John Paul Jones has a composed element with his studio background. JPJ is a major element in this band that gets overshadowed. His deep understanding of music theory brought so much to Zep. Definitely one of my favorite musicians.
Im offended that you didn’t mention one of the most disgusting vocalists of all time with the syncopation of a drunken kung fu master
To this day I feel privileged to have seen them in concert. Best band ever!
Led Zeppelins music is absolutely beautiful in every way, and Robert Plant voice is soul touching.
Incredible band. Unequalled. I live in Kidderminster. Zeppelin runs through my veins at 55 years old and to have the occasional time to meet Plant at various places as he goes about his life is a pure joy. He is the nicest man you could wish to meet. Give him his space and respect and be just blends into local life. Plant is an absolute legend in every respect of the word
Robert Plant is very well spoken and looks great.
Eloquent and gentle 😎
Jimmy Page is also very well spoken. Very classy pleasant man. And humble!
Best ever documentary about the best ever rock band!!! These guys are Immortals
John Paul Jones is just mesmerizing to listen to and look at.
I'm glad someone agrees with me, lol.
The one decision Led Zeppelin made above all other decisions that makes them look like they were in total control of their legacy is that they did what The Beatles did. Zep never gave in to external pressure. They always did everything on their terms and the media and record industry accepted that or didn't. When a band conducts their business like that, you can't help but respect them.
Both bands had good and dedicated managers, I guess that makes a difference too.
They were led by satan not their own minds or terms. Admittedly so.
David Savian, you are 100% right. It helped that Grant was on their side. Queen followed the same model.
The best guitarist at the time knew the business and put the best band together that’s what it seems to me and Led Zeppelin was the outcome.
@@carpejkdiem uh huh...riiiiight
Total agreement on the greatest band of my time, I'm only 67, lol but zep is the deal of my life, along with so many great bands. Rock and roll will never die, God speed guy's, rest in peace john. Greatest drummer of all time.
My friends and I were all set to go see them in 1980 near Detroit when Bonham died. We all choked back a tear that day
Well,it makes it no easier,but let me say this.JH never needled. But he could seriously drink. Im there. I saw the photos. Sleep on your side. Damn! Rule 6
Great interview about how they all connected. I can’t believe Robert Plant was 19 and working just an ordinary job and became a major part of Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page is absolutely fantastic. 🎸
I'm 62 now and a retired PhD. Engineer, married to a beautiful, smart wife with two great kids, so I have had a very full life but I can still remember the first moment I heard Zeppelin...I had been at the beach all day and got a ride home with a buddy (it was '73 I would guess, maybe '74)...he plugged in an 8 track (Houses of the Holy) and as it started to play I asked him...Wow, who are these guys?, He replied oh that's Led Zeppelin...I was instantly hooked and their genius was immediately evident to me. Still my Fave band in the world. Oh and I saw the boys in '77 at the Old Capital center in D.C. when I was in the right place at the right time as a young Marine.
Omg. I was in high school and didn't go to that Cap Center concert for some stupid stupid reason and that was the last chance I'd ever have to see them. Who knew at the time tho right? Hindsight is 20/20 as they say.
those 8 tracks were the best transport medium we had back then & they were nasty. Tape often got eaten up from time to time & we were lucky if we could salvage them. Cassettes which followed were slightly better.
sawem on same tour, joined Navy in 78 semper Fi!
Had tickets for the late 77 show in Philly. Canceled when Plants son died. Also had Lynryd Skynryd tickets for a November 77 show. Two refunds I definitely didn’t want. I remember the tickets for both were well under $10.
Saw LS in June 77 but never saw Zeppelin.
@@Darrylizer1 I had just rolled in to D.C. as my first duty station after ITR and heard the radio advertisement that tickets would only be sold at the Cap Center and it was general admission. I checked in and then begged my new 1st Sgt. to let me burn a day of leave standing in line for tickets. The line started the night before and I just slept on a sleeping bag...got two tickets and asked a cute teller at the Navy Federal CU to go with me...we had a blast...what a concert.
During that Interview at the beginning, Page, probably 15-16 years old, is asked how does he like working with well-known musicians. He says “Rather disappointing, really.” That says it all. Page, the entire band, was beyond all other bands, from another planet, time, dimension. Exceptional and extraordinary.
Frankincensed i heard the rest of that quote. page goes on to explain that the artists he 'sessioned' for were more often than not unprofessional, unappreciative, and generally surly.
Thomas Tuohy True
So nostalgic. Led Zeppelin was my favorite band in the 70’s. My parents divorced when I was 10 years old and I lived with my sister and mom in Chicago. My dad was in California so he wasn’t there for my “formative years”. Dad was a blues player in Chicago years before and didn’t care for “modern music”. After high school I moved to California to be with dad on his sailboat. I brought all my cassette tapes of Zeppelin with me and a terrible little tape player. He’d hear what I was listening to and ask who that was? “Come on dad, it’s only the greatest rock band of all time.” He didn’t like Robert Plant’s screeching voice, so I turned on Jimmy Page playing, “Going to California” on acoustic guitar. He started to cry. He said, “Son, that’s a beautiful song. Why’d you pick that one?” I said, “That’s the song that brought me to you dad. I’m in California now.” He gave me a hug and he never complained about Led Zeppelin again. He really listened and appreciated the phenomenal musicianship beneath the noise of some of their more crazy works. Good times.
Led Zeppelin is the one band I could listen to every song on every album Thank you Led Zeppelin 50 years later still second to none your #1
I finally got to see them live in 98 B`ham alabama 40.00 a ticket looking at Stubbs now lol
@@jameslongino9480 what do you mean 98 lol
So many real Rock Music fans go through a Led Zep phase,,,, even most musicians .. Saw in Zeppelin IN Seattle ,,was great,, Watch early days ,,,They were a Band of Brothers that changed music,,, and toured and played.. AND NEVER SOLD OUT .. except for every concert .
Except hot dog hot dog isn’t their best song lol
@@Jimmysage3273 I unironically like that song
"Stairway To Heaven" LITERALLY speaks to my soul!!! All these years later, I still get the goosebumps listening to it!!
They are the reason I wish I got to live the 70's. I honestly wish I could jump in a delorean and go back so I could follow them on tour all over the world.
I've said the same thing many times. Though I can't say Zep was the only reason as there's plenty of musicians from then who aren't around anymore that I wish I could have seen..but Zep is definitely at the Top of the list!
Hey I was there for you, saw them Tampa 77 (the riot) all good. Also was there for Pink Floyd 77 in Tampa, Animals tours one of the best concerts I have seen
@@9186frank I live in TAMPA FLORIDA I WISH COULD HAVE BEEN THERE BUT I WAS EXPECTING MY SON , I WISH I COULD HAVE GONE.
@@9186frank amazing!
They were something else for sure. I was lucky (?:) being born in ‘57,so, yeah, I grew up with this band & all the other giants providing the soundtrack to my life. No mistake though, these guys were THE GIANTS. I say this having been around to witness the Beatles.
Their music is weird, overwhelming, masterful, beautiful, poetic and sexual all at the same time! Every album was like a whole new can of worms. Never will there be anything like these guys again.
There will be
Im worki ng on it
Yes I've always said this
@@jmurf8764 no idea what that means lol
Great description I feel the same. Perceptive we are. And yes a single artist is there own person there own musician and yes can never be recreated when there truly showing them selves then there truly ORIGINAL and then you put them all together with a poet and ya just like my own music it’s pure passion like making love ... it won’t be headed again. Let’s hope we here some more that can move us like these guys. Move soooo many today
Was so thrilled to see this pop up. Led zeppelin is unprecedented and always will be. The greatest band ever.
Cool to see John Paul Jones show some personality and humor. I love Plant's articulations...so civilized without being pretentious.
Like the way you put it so right
Check out JPJ on Letterman. He's a very funny bloke!!!
I always wondered why they rarely say much about him after the bands start. It seemed kinda crappy. But idk. Maybe he preferred it that way? I mean they took alot of pics without him in the frame. And then they left him out of that Collab. Didn't evèn give him a choice. Weird. I of course didnt notice any of thís in thè years they were the fave band of school and after school and parties and you know. Everywhere for awhile for all of us in my area.🤔🤘 They couldn't go on without Bonham. I gét that but again that was the 4th to make the magic. Seems it's different with the 3 and then no John. I'll love Led Zep forever but you can seé how hard of lives Jimmy and Robert had versus John Paul now. Imho. Robert DID have a pretty heart wrenching home life later tho. Idk much about the other 2. I'm curious. Gonna see what else I can find. Didn't know Bonham died so close to Lennon either. That's freaky.
Peter Grant is rolling in his grave that this is available for free on the internet.
Haha.... so true!
Lmao
With ears like that, I’m sure he can hear it.
Copied comment
F*ck that mafioso !
What a treat, a Led Zeppelin documentary with the guys from Led Zeppelin in it. Really cool stuff! This band made such an impression on me musically. Those albums I tell you. Nothing quite like them.
I was totally obsessed with them too.. I ordered led zep 1 from my local record store in 1969.. A month later I got a call to go pick it up. When I got there they said that they we out of stock on Zep 1 and that Zep ll had just been released and they had sent that instead
The best rock movie you'll ever watch🎸
@@williamrosenlof453 well, i gotta say, it has been 45 years of loving these guys. Now 45 years is a long time....so these boys are the ages off my parents...with only one small factor...they don't enjoy this plethora of the finest music ever written/ sung/ or performed. Rock on🕊
@@trixiedelight9874 It has definitely been a long time loving The Mighty Led Zeppelin and all-encompassing! When I put one of their discs in my car, it stays in for days if not weeks. I can't really ever get enough of them. I was raised by 2 rockin rollers, my father and my mom's boyfriend of 20 plus yrs. Both influenced me musically and introduced me to music my friends hadn't even discovered yet. When I was 4 yrs. old, I remember begging my mother not to turn the car off until the song was over! I believe it was Brother Louie. Rock on! Tammie Miller
Too bad the Led Zeppelin music wasn't played by Led Zeppelin... Probably too expensive to have it in the documentary
One of my absolute favorite bands ever. It is life changing. Whenever I want to feel something to shock me out of my depressing existence, I put on Led Zepplin. It revives me.
So cool to hear you say that, I can relate because songs suddenly took on new meaning that I had liked for 30 years when my life was turned upside down. . . I have to thank Led Zeppelin for helping me Ramble On. . .
Led Zeppelin. Greatest rock band of all time. Bar none.
The one regret I think I'll die with when my life ends, is not having seen Led Zeppelin live in their prime or at all. It makes my heart ache, they're my favourite band and I'll never get to see them at their best on stage.
Best band ever created.
Same here. Had tickets to a December 77 show at the Spectrum in Philly that was canceled due to a death in Plant’s family. Believe it was his son’s death.
I know you’re pain
Callum Scott
Same.
Agree to a point . Then all of a sudden I hear ( can’t ya hear me knockin ) & Shelter . Sorry
ZOSO is a fantastic tribute band that tours the US. They've been playing for 25 yrs.
A Led Zeppelin documentary featuring the band's music... played by other musicians. Amazing.
I was there at the Fillmore East 31 Jan 1969 for their first Fillmore gig. They were 2nd billing for Iron Butterfly, an already formidable group. No one really knew who Zeppelin were at that point. They came on stage and blew the place away. They were forced to do 3 or 4 encores for us, and when Iron Butterfly finally came on to play, Doug Ingle took the mic to say "Let's have another hand for Led Zeppelin." They played 20 minutes and that was it. The show was already finished when LZ left the stage. The history of rock changed that night. The next day, I bought the LP, and that was it. What else can you say?
Where was the Fillmore??
OMG I’m SO HAPPY this popped up in my recommended
same here
@@krauxnotfaux me3! Zeppelin will always b th bar of excellence in rock/hard rock. People that dislike them r jealous bitches with very poor taste!🍺🍸🎸
James Johnson haaa yup exactly
Same here. Was my favorite band for many many years.
James it was just to much for 1st time concert goers. My buddies just couldn't handle it and left. It was too powerful. Me? Well I stayed but I found I couldn't turn my head to cross the street lol... I had to turn my whole body. I got back to hotel...sat on my bed...kicked my shoes off and i was out like a light before my head hit the pillow. I have seen many bands in concert since, but none affected us like the Zeppelin concert.
Not A rock band. Led Zeppelin are THE rock band. Period.
Truer words couldn’t have been spoken.
I see this comment on every rock band's videos and documentary films. Opinions are like assholes...
Not A rock band. Led Zeppelin are THE rock band who could plagiarize harder and heavier than any other rock band in the history of rock! Period
they were and are the most unique rockband. like one organism builded by 4 super talents. I was still teenager, when they came out. I'm so thankful to have lived in these times
The rock band?
Whatever
Heard of Queen?
You don't have to be stoned of your face to enjoy queen.
I love both, just sayin.
Robert Plant had fantastic hair!
sometimes i wish i was born in the 50's and be an adult in the 70's so i can go to led zeppelin I LOVE JIMMY 😢😢
Led Zeppelin I & II were the most incredible albums ever made. I spent years with headphones on listening to them back to back. Roll up some 70's Santa Marta Gold and rock out with the hammer of the Gods.
@FUCK YOU It's obvious you weren't alive when they exploded on the music scene. I and II changed music forever. th-cam.com/video/yO2n7QoyieM/w-d-xo.html
Head phones were the best way to hear the sound crisp and clear with vinyl and diamond tip needles turntable
HAMMER OF THE GOD'S
drralph100 That they were those first two albums. Many prefer l (one) because it’s the first. Me I like ll (second). The first was absolutely great unprecedented hard driving rock, folk, blues, you name it. However all the professional reviews say the second album was everything the first one was but better!
Mate they are great... but the best albums ever? It seems a bit excessive. I wouldn’t say they match up with IV, or Exile on Main Street, Sgt peppers lonely hearts club band, Velvet underground and nico, Ziggy Stardust, Highway 61 revisited, fuckin hell a lot of amazing records. I mean LZ II was huge but the first is just alright, nothing THAT big imo.
Absolutely Timeless.
Best band I ever heard.
I was 9 when got into this band because I had a huge crush on ROBERT PLANT ❤️😘 and I am 60 soon & still loving LEDZEP 👍✌🏼😎
I was in the first grade when my father brought home the first Zeppelin album. I remember being mesmerized by it. Eventually, all of their records were in my home. I spent hours listening to them growing up. I graduated high school in 1980... it was the end of an era, but not the end of my love affair with their music.
They will be loved after a thousand bands since have long been forgotten.
Maybe...Maybe not.
Led Zeppelin was easily the most intelligent act of its era. Each member was genius in knowledge of and working their instruments including Plant and his vocals. The work ethic of the band was phenomenal and tour scheduling proved it. No other rock band on the planet produced what Led Zeppelin did. Led Zeppelin was a snow ball rolling down Mt Everest...and everybody knows the mechanics of that snowball rolling downhill gathering more snow...it never stops growing bigger.
4:12 "Combining the raw power and intensity of hard rock with the finesse of contemporary blues and the delicacy of British folk music."
I was looking for a way to describe Led Zep in one sentence to my friends... and now I have it. Thanks for posting this video.
You know, sitting and watching this video I got that old feeling of bopping the head a bit as certain riffs were being played. I discovered Led Zeppelin ( here in Australia) when I heard one of their songs ( Misty Mountain Hop ) in 1972 and fell in love with them. I was 16 back then. Now at 64 I still get those tingles down the spine when I hear them play.
I am a 45 year old chick born in the 70's and I was extremely lucky to have a dad that played guitar in his own bands and passed his love of "GOOD" music to me Led Zeppelin is the greatest band of all time EVER with Pink Floyd running a close second wished music was this great now a days cause the music now a days just sucks
Indeed
I'm 41 and my dad was a drummer so there was always music on. He was a big Clapton fan but I was exposed to so much. I totally relate to your comment.
Nailed it, led zeppelin, pink floyd, greatest bands of all time
I can relate. I'm 47 and my parents always had good music on the turntable in the house when I was a kid. They turned me on to Zeppelin, Cream, Hendrix, Blue Cheer, etc. All the heavy stuff. I got into Floyd and Rush later on. Like you said the music now sucks so bad but luckily there were tons of good bands in the 60's and 70's that we can listen to. A lot of the bands who never made it big in the 60's and 70's were just as good as the big names. Check out a band called The Pretty Things. They were around in the 60's and 70's and sounded amazing. All the guys in Zeppelin were huge fans of them so when Zeppelin started their own record label (Swan Song) the first band they signed was The Pretty Things.
It is mainly Rap crap - but it sells (to the white kids).
I was a little boy and my dad was a Zepplin fan
Grew up listening to them
The sound the album covers
When we moved from Wisconsin to Texas l was 5 and we drove ( well Dad drove l rode)
I woke up in his best friend's apartment with Led Zepplin II playing and the sun coming up
That is how l remember seeing San Antonio for the first time
Sleepy eye with cutting vocals of Plant and mystcal stringbending of Page while thunderous bass lines and hammering drums took over my heartbeats
46 years later and l hear that album ( yes l own it on that huge black disk white sound and all) and l go back to that five year old sprout of a poet captured by the vision of Page
Thanks for posting this doc
One of the reasons I started playing guitar. Just an amazing bunch of musicians that ruled the world for a short time. Great documentary with Zep music in it, not music that is "in the vein of".
This group is my absolute favorite band. I grew up listening to them. So many good memories.💜💚🎼✌️🗝
I’m so glad I got to see them at 16 years old.... they were phenomenal!
I remember listening to them on my uncles turntable and 8-track when I was 5. I'm 49 now and they'll never get old. Like me.
Simply put, greatest rock n roll band that will ever exist.
I can't imagine a world without Led-Zepplen.
Black Sabbath as well. True pioneers who created genre's and laid the groundwork for countless bands even to this date.
I'm not saying Led Zeppelin is number one, it's just that their so much better than whomever is number two.
saw them on 4/20/77 at Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati (age 22) quite memorable
I was one of the few in Greenhills high School who didn't go. I was in my I hate led Zeppelin phase. Stupid...
You were born at the right time, you lucky!
Zeppelin has been a part of my life since 1974. Thanks for this video and the comments. Their music saw me through the good times and the bad. Never had the chance to see them, I remember when John Bonham died it broke a million plus hearts. Just reading the comments here I see 2500+ people who they inspired too.
I found zeppelin in the 80s , I was only 9 years old and I realized they were on a whole different level than any of the bands of our time. None of my friends knew who they were or cared. No one I knew could understand why I was obsessed with them and not bands like Motley Crue or poison. Then MTV started marketing them as part of the classic rock revival. All of a sudden they were cool and all my friends were begging for copies of my tapes
The first time I saw Jimmy use the bow on his guitar, I couldn't believe my eyes. This was when he was with the Yardbirds. He has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Those were the days.
Maybe the world didn't deserve something so perfect for more then 12 years, Zeppelin was a phenomenon, they invented what a rock band is and should be and changed the business for everyone. I still well up 40 years later about losing Bonham and the band breaking up, and I'm still trying to play Jimmy's breaks the way he did😊. At least I was lucky enough to be around in that era, I feel sorry for the generations that followed us
Here here!!! 54 years a fan of Led Zeppelin.
LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
I was let into the arena when Zep took a long time to come on for their third encore in Montreal during their Physical Grapphiti tour in 1975. This was the tour when Jimmy broke a finger before the tour started. I was standing at center ice beside the boards and was lucky to see them play Heartbreaker. I was 14 years-old.
Brought me straight back to tears when they started talking about Bonzo's death.
My favorite song/group... from age 10 until today. 53 years, i am so happy i was born in 67 so i have had this music as the soundtrack to my life.
♡ u Jimmy, always.
I’m one of the millions of musicians/singers who have been inspired by, emulated and covered Led Zeppelin. Thank you, boys.
Saw them first time in '72 in Seattle. I was 17! First concert I saw! Unbelieveable!!
Wish I saw them
Yep I was there as well, it was in the Coliseum! I saw them again two years later. I feel very fortunate to have seen them twice before Bohnam died.Their music is timeless it just Never gets old, by far my all time favorite band.
@@JMC1598 do you feel Zeppelin died when Bonham did?
@@mikenuzzo3323 No Zeppelin didn't die but everything for the band certainly changed, the spirit of Led Zeppelin lives on like only the very best can do!
What a way to burst your concert life virginity!
Somebody asked JpJ years ago what was Zeppelin's musical secret? His reply: the BRIC approach. . Blues. Rock. Indian. Celtic.
i will listen re-listen, watch and re-watch everything Led Zeppelin the Best Band ForEVER,
This is what happens when 4 of the best individual musicians ever born in the UK get together....pure magic!
When Bonzos name is mentioned makes me cry. Jimmy John Robert we grew up with your music till we finish hi school. Part of our lives glad to be a fan.
Nice to be out so late without having a nap.... priceless plant.
They're my favorite. I was just about a year old when John Bonham died. So I learned of them around age 9 or 10 and loved them ever since. They were my favorite as a kid, still are today. I would have definitely gone to see them when Jason Bonham filled in for his dad, but I was in the Marine Corps and the military doesn't allow you to do what you want when you want, obviously. So I just cherish my dad's original vinyl he bought as a young man and continue to be a fan. Best Rock band EVER!
I've listened to a lot of music and played in many bands myself, but I've never seen a band full of great musicians and song writers that could play their asses off while writing some of the most diverse, creative, passionate music this world's ever seen.
It's just crazy how everyone just calls zeppelin a rock band. They were a band that transcended genres and even this physical world
They are a Rock Band in first place Brainiac
Led Zeppelin can only be compared to Led Zeppelin.
You must be referring to the Beatles.
Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Robert Plant = Led Zeppelin. Gods of rock 🤘 ❤️
Led Zeppelin is my absolute favorite band number one!
Saw Robert Plant last year and Jason Bonham on his own tour also - This music is irreplaceable
ROCKGODS.... period
I saw Plant solo 3X, Page and Plant 2X and Jason Bonham 3X doing his Led Zeppelin Experience and once with Heart. My biggest regret next to not see Led Zeppelin is missing Them Crooked Vultures with John Paul Jones and Dave Grohl
Only just recently decided to rebuild my music library. I'm 64. Sold all my vinyls long ago to pay rent etc. First CDs bought? LZ 1,2,3,4, Houses, Phys. Song and Coda. I don't ever want to be without this amazing sound.
When the band was inducted into the HOF and it was Jones' turn at the podium, he said, "I"d like to thank my friends for finally remembering my phone number."
I was thinking about that. I think Plant didn't invite him to the MTV Unplugged thing, because then it would have been a Led Zep reunion, minus Bonzo. And I don't think he (Plant) could deal with that thought. Playing with Jimmy he could allow himself, adding the other member would just be too much like a reforming of a band that couldn't be reformed. Well, at that point anyway, obv they worked it out a few years later when Jason could step up, Or, maybe they were just being assholes, who knows? But that was my initial thought, for what it's worth.
@@jonnylumberjack6223 The thing is, it wasn't a reunion.
Ouchh!
@@suskaklapp6641 just like live aid wasn’t a reunion.
@@jonnylumberjack6223 - i think the same thing - that had to avoid making it look like a reunion
Not often mentioned: As Led Zeppelin blew the lid off music for so many future bands, Peter Grant did the same for management. You'll never get another one like him.
Peter Grant was sometimes called " the fifty member of LZ".
The Led Zeppelin filled a void that we all knew existed with a unique awareness grabbing music that rushed into our very being. It gave a power and a life of invincibility before, during, and after going into war. I've always said it was Led Zeppelin music that got me back home alive from Viet Nam. The sound of a Huey helicopter and Led Zep music takes me back to those times; Good Times Bad Times. I still get a tingle, a rush, and a feeling of invincibility when I hear their music. Going to sit on my Shovelhead to remember those friends and warriors I've lost. Mike, Mac, Steven, David, Bill, and Jim, we made a vow to live life for those who never returned. I hope I lived up to your expectations. I hope I was crazy enough. See you guys soon. Lone survivor of childhood friends lost to an insane war. I love you guys.
Some comments cut deep!! All the very best regards!!
Led Zeppelin is the best. Their music, their legacy and friendship, the geniality of 4 people that create all of this masterpieces in unique. I listen a lot of rock and roll music and a lot of type of music ( especialli hard rock but I like almost reggae, ska, techno Detroit, hard tek, house music, progressive rock and many more). But they are my favourite of all time.
I turned 25 in 1980 and we had a huge Led Zeppelin album party in southern California. The news about John Bonham was devastating and then Mount St. Helens erupted in Seattle ❤🎉😮
I was born in '71. So I never got to go to the concerts. But my uncle who was more of a father to me then my father was always listened to Zeppelin. By time I was 5 in '76. I was sneaking into his record collection, and listening to all the Zeppelin albums. When I turned 10. He gave me that record collection. I still have and treasure them to this day. I am 48 now, and Zeppelin has always been a huge part of my life.
Though I totally still love everything Led Zeppelin and their music is part of who I was and am today, and there was. Nothing like them ever, one band in my opinion that reminds me of them is Kingdom Come, who are also a part of me musically today, and I am 65 yrs old n used to sing and dance and perform heavy metal music in Detroit. Great movie!!! Thanks for posting it!!!!
I am your age and relate to all you've said. I saw them once. I was 15yrs old now 65, and looked forward seeing Led Zeppelin that night with my school friend. Well it was a warm night in 73. The night atmosphere was amazing. I nearly fainted when Plant performed Black Dog their first song. I tripped down a staircase and broke my heal heading back to my place after interval. TODAY when viewing their videos..it takes me back to the 15yr old i was, i feel as pure and youthful as i was that night in the 70s. All was great then, freedom was possible, no abuse, friendly hippies everywhere, happy people, welcoming people, warmth and peace all about. Anyway, after reading your comment I felt an alikeness to your love of this epic great , forever the grandest band in the world..cheers from Australia. ⚘🌷🌻🌺
Kingdom Come sounds like Led Zeppelin your right I have their album!
I want to give stairway to heaven to the memory of my mother god rest her soul.
thank you very much I appreciate it.
Who else thinks we need a Led Zeppelin biopic, like Bohemian Rhapsody or RocketMan? And also, what will it be called?(not dazed and confused)
I do...I do!!!! Call it...The Battle Of Evermore!
The Beatles did not get a biopic but I think they should
It one was to be made, they'd probably name it Stairway or Stairway to heaven because that's their most famous song. I think just calling it Led Zeppelin would be better though
Ryan Page lets be honest, they’ll probably end up naming it ‘Stairway to Heaven’ or something
Good Times Bad Times
Jimi Hendrix to John Bonham, "you've got a foot like a rabbit"! This is the first time I've ever heard a Hendrix/Led Zep story. I hope there is more.
I saw this movie at the movie theater in Corona Del Mar and that was many years ago. Holy cow
Best band there ever was, or probably ever will be, truly Hammer of the Gods stuff, when that rhythm section got going dancing in-out and around the beat, it was dizzying, best of the best!
I don't remember who it was, but I once heard another musician say that Led Zeppelin was better on their worst day than any other band was on their best day. ❤🤘
I was blown away at three live concerts 1975 1977/ L.A. Forum and the sounds lasers surround sound speakers Wow youth were in shock at their power. I was hooked for life I'm 61 still listening!
Love TH-cam so much cause now we have all this great relationship, interviews with Plant, Page, Bonham, & Jonesy, this did exist 40 years ago you could never have previously looked at any of these things none of these personal interviews. None of these inside looks of your favorite band mine is always Led Zeppelin when now it's all here for the world to see it's possible. I love Robert Plant so much, I feel like I know him almost like a brother, & I've never met the "Man" he is a gift from Heavens. I'm excited to say, I'm going to see him with Allison Krauss in Lake Tahoe NV at Harvey's Casino 8/20/2022....very excited this will the 8th time I've seen him since I started attending his concerts in 1983' Principle of Moments Tour. He & Led Zeppelin changed music & the world, forever. My world in 1969, at age when my brother played "Whole Lotta Love" for me, my mind was altered forever Led Zeppelin & Robert Plant The GOATS🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🎶🎶🎵🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
I saw them and was blown away and plus imbibing some psychedelic altering chemistry 🧪...wow! Talk about a Trip! What a journey.
Any mandrex in the room?😙
It's hard to describe the enormous impact and popularity of Led Zeppelin back in the 1970s, it was so unprecedented. Think of The Beatles and The Stones at the height of their own incredible success, the only other comparable bands.
Even at age 11, Jimmy Page seems self assured. I like the way Robert Plant pronounces his surname with the short a sound as we do in the Midlands.
