The Beatles , the Rolling Stones were bigger in a more worldwide sense. Also Beatles and Rolling Stones attracted a wider fanbase. Led zeppelin primarily attracted a hard rock crowd. They were #1 in hard rock. That’s it
@@srirahulpremkumar1600 Hmmm yet Led Zeppelin has sold more albums then The Rolling Stones,in all these years they’ve been around. They’ve only sold 66.5 million, while Led Zeppelin has sold over 300 million. FYI: they are also known worldwide, do some research. Led Zeppelin also does a variety of genres, not just hard rock, have you only listened to a select few songs?
@@sicotshit7068 I know they are known worldwide and I never said that Rolling Stones sold more. I said back then the Rolling Stones had a bigger appeal. The rebellious nature of the band was very influential at the time. They have had more number one albums across europe , Asia , South America. Also I have listened to all led zeppelin albums. They are amazing. But a good 80% follows a similar sort of theme. The band in most cases stuck to what they were good at. ( except for a few cases like no quarter , in the light , dyermaker etc) And besides I’m not just randomly making this up. People who lived in other continents back in the day have told me that the Rolling Stones were the bigger band overall. But in the America led zeppelin were bigger. Which is why they have sold more records (300 million) because USA was a huge market at the time. The same thing with the band queen. Queen were not that big in USA. But were absolutely huge in other continents. Queen sold over 150 million records during their heyday (1973-1991) and only 20 million of that was in the USA( so obviously they were huge everywhere outside the USA ( Queen have sold about 300 million now - their popularity never went away in other parts of the world ) And also that 66.5 million for the Rolling Stones that you said is only in USA. USA is not the world. Rolling Stones have sold 250 million in the world. However. I love led zeppelin waaaaay more than the Rolling Stones. In fact I don’t like the Rolling Stones at all lol. But I can’t deny the facts.
@srirahulpremkumar1600 stones aren't as big as you think. They do good job promoting themselves, Zeppelin hardly ever needed to promote the band after the 1st year. The Mighty Zep broke all if the Beatles attendance records for a single act. The stones were never close. So who has the wider fan base?
@@kensalazar5066 led zeppelin beat the Beatles attendance records in AMERICA . Nowhere else. That does not show popularity from a world wide perspective.
James Patrick Page + Robert Antony Plant Plant + John Richard Baldwin + John Henry Bonham, the juggernaut of Valhalla, best band EVER. Greetings from Danmark 🤜🇩🇰🤛
Ooh ! Just love me a bit of acoustic 'Zep ' , they could rock but fed up wit this Bullshit about being 'Heavy Metal ', they were so much more !! This live version is just Sublime 'Earls Court London 75' !! I was there 18 years old ! But have to say people that I was young and so wasted that I don't remember a note!!! This is why utube is so great, enables you to relive forgotten memories!!.....
This makes out that LZ preferred America because of the potential earning power there, but LZ also felt underappreciated in Britain because of the hostility of the music press there and they felt they weren't being given a fair hearing in Britain at the time.
@neilmanns3098 ... adding to that, their most recognisable riff was played weekly on the biggest TV pop show every week, during much of their career, so had less need of singles. Wonder if Peter Grant levered that in some way.
The British, Tax system at the time forced a lot of artists into becoming tax exiles and what better place to go than California with the laid back attitude at the time that would get the creative juices going.
nobody says "tacky" anymore. but I love Joni to no end, and saw Zeppelin twice in the early '70's. 1st time, we had floor seats, they were loud as a MFer. next day, glad I wasn't deaf, I went back to school to start that year, 2nd week in September. no last nite of Summer equals that one.they did 4 encores, one was Communication Breakdow BTW, see Joni Mitchell in 'Message to love' the Isle of Wight concert film. she gave a piece of her mind to the audience members who were called anarchists by some. they were crying about the hugely expensive tickets (2,3 bucks) "music is free, man".and all that bullshit. so she got genuinely pissed off at these brat stoners who give the rest of 'em a bad name. but their noise was louder than the music. in fact, the late, great, Kris Kristofferson rest his soul, was booed right off the stage. he deserved better, I'll say that.
@nicholasprotz4297 Only when she was young and in her prime. Once she got older, all but David Crosby abandoned her. After Joni had her stroke and fell into chronic depression, only David Crosby came to visit her and tried to cheer her up/lend support.
It's always amused me how many famous men in Rock music claimed to adore Joni Mitchell, yet when Joni had her stroke and fell into a deep depression ONLY ONE came to visit her and tried to cheer her up in her hour of need: DAVID CROSBY. Graham Nash has never gone to visit Joni since her stroke, in fact he hasn't reached out to Joni in countless years. Ditto for Jimmy Page and the rest of these men who were infatuated with her only when she was young and healthy. Bless David Crosby! ❤❤
@harolddburke4726 Actually, NO. She has always been a self-serving narcissist and has been a heavy smoker for countless years, making her breath stink like an ashtray. Read the story of why she gave up her only child to adoption, then how she treated that daughter when her daughter came back into her life years later as an adult. All these men were infatuated with her when she was young, but none wanted to marry her.
Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video on Led Zep which I was sure into with my Hippy friends which was cool and I still am a long haired after all these years though with a changed heart and peace in the heart and you can also 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out.

So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on UA-cam. 😀
Mitchell usually bores a lot musically and singing. Led Zep is another musical level five miles away. Plant is super vocalist and singer. I haven t got anything about Michell but I have got something of Loretta Lynn.
To compare Led Zeppelin's legacy today (2024) with the legacy of California's snobby arrogant elite is like comparing meteors that have crashed to Earth and the sun that forever shines upon us. Yes the meteor was a bright brilliant light in the sky for a fleeting moment. Now it is a dead piece of rock laying in the sand. But the sun will always shine in the sky bringing life. Jimmy page, Robert plant, and John Paul Jones are still celebrated musicians with literally untarnished reputation. California has turned into a place of decadence and ruin, and we all watch its reputation continue to sink to new all-time lows. People are no longer flocking to California. People are leaving California. Even back then this video speaks about the snobbery of people who lived in California at that time. But being the gentleman that they are, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page wrote a song celebrating California. That is why both of these gentlemen are still celebrated as rock and roll icons and Rockstar gods. I have two close friends that were limousine drivers in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Both of them have met many different rock and roll celebrities. They have told me that any of the rock stars who were based in California were snobs, very arrogant, and extremely cheap. Any of the British musicians that they ever met were engaging and very friendly and always tipped the driver. The members of the Eagles being the worst with exception of Joe Walsh. California is going extinct. If that place does indeed experienced a massive earthquake and slides into the ocean, we should all celebrate that day because it is a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah. Goodbye California
Zeppelin was alright. They were all a bit over rated as musicians. John Paul Jones was the most educated and competent man in the band. Plants vocals were screatchy and his phrases sometimes annunciated oddly. There was only one rock singer of that era for me and that was Ian Gillan.
@@williamhiles7404 Grace herself has said repeatedly in interviews that she didn't know how to sing and was grateful people accept her 'shrieking' as lead vocals.
@@Birchsongsltd Yeah, well she learned as she went along, and got damn good at it. I love her voice, and as I've said elsewhere she also used her voice like an instrument much like Robert Plant, only better. Listen to her at Woodstock, particularly 'Eskimo Blue Day', 'The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil' & 'The House On Pooneil Corners.' Brilliant. But the whole darn performance is excellent. Also, there is a bootleg entitled 'Outtakes, Live & Rare pts. 1-4. She does some amazing singing on 'Lather', and one tune I believe she sings in Deutsche. Plus a bunch of other tunes.

You either love them or hate them. I belong to the second category. Such an annoying voice, Robert Plant ! Not to mention that they would sell their souls (the irony, lol) to become The Incredible String Band. Anyway, I dislike them.

The acoustic side of Led Zeppelin between '70 and '73 was often sublime and beautiful, and I always wished they'd recorded more tracks like this...

Greetings from the future.
Thanks for the video.I didn't know about Led Zeppelins' crush on Joni Mitchell.💙💛💙
Thanks for watching! Glad you love it!
Going to Califonia - my ALLTIME favorite song!
I could not appreciate this song until I saw this. Now I understand and enjoy it.
I like Joni Mitchell and Led Zeppelin.

I agree. But their direction of predominantly producing full albums and not singles annoyed the singles producers, taking away their quick riches!
@@neilmanns3098 good thing they had full control over their music. I bet other bands envied that power.
@neilmanns3098 ... adding to that, their most recognisable riff was played weekly on the biggest TV pop show every week, during much of their career, so had less need of singles. Wonder if Peter Grant levered that in some way.
Led Zeppelin:....In the words of John Paul Jones,..." Let`s face it, it`s the best bloody band there ever was".
Absolutely fantastic and also happy first day of October and also have a wonderful day ❤😊

I love Going to California.One of their best ballads.😊
"...meet you up there where the path's running straight and high...."
Great song and video.
Pages out of pitch G string made the mood of the song.
That ‘utterly idyllic string accompaniment’ jars my fillings loose. How people can enjoy this pretentious, out-of-tune crap is beyond me.
No that's not true that the Laurel Canyon folks hated Led Zeppelin . From what I can tell they were in AWE, and if anything, felt threatened by it

Music is catchy, that’s why we still have led and the Beatles and nirvana still being shoved down our throats no end in sight
Nobody’s replacing the old bands to this level. The industry is dying a slow death
Joni captivated everyone.
