Could be. Being able to record anything any time might change how history is made. We know of a handful of greats from the past. I imagine there were plenty of great musicians that were never mentioned by history. Have to look through libraries of published written music and play them, and there will be jewels. And improvisational traveling Gypsy flamenco guitarists blowing peoples minds. Maybe Zep will be taught about in music appreciation in 300 years. I'm leaning towards the Beatles and Bob Dylan being the big guns from our era.
Over 500,000 people altogether attended this two night show! They hadn’t been on stage together in 2 years bc Robert lost his son. John Bonham talked RP into going back to the band and…THIS! If you notice, Bonham barely had to look at his drums, there was something magical between him and his drums. Mind you this was at the end of a 3-4 hour concert and he is this powerful-NO ONE will ever even touch Bonham! Jimmy was channeling something special here too! Even through his addiction he was a master musician-a genius guitar god! Still is to this day. Led Zeppelin Forever 🤘🏻
No one ever heard it unless they bought the album but I say this live performance just beats the studio version hands down. I can never get over how great they were live. Tight as hell.
Dude, you have gone head first into some of the best rock songs of all time. Much more to go. Your passion and enjoyment relight the spark in us old boys who jammed on this when it came out!~!
Thats absolutely Truth Tim, us Older Rockers have worn Zeppelin Music out on different formats and watching a younger generation diggin it is Cool. Chills up and down my spine
This is probably my favorite reaction video of anything period. I absolutely adore how much he gets into the song, but how can you not?? Led Zeppelin were on a different level compared to anyone else, past present or future
Exactly what I was thinking. This is their highest achievement and that's saying a lot. I can never get Achilles out of my head and I could put it on a loop for hours. One of the many cool things about Zeppelin is that no two performances are the same. When I was a teenager in the late 70s, early 80s, my friends and I would scrounge the record stores in the Village for bootlegs just to hear yet another version of any Zeppelin song..
Four--Robert certainly uses his voice like an instrument, and definitely needs to be counted. But I get what you're saying, and it is astonishing. Most bands couldn't get that kind of sound out of twice as many instruments!
If you can believe it, this concert at Knebworth was decidedly when Zeppelin was on the downturn. A little over a year later, Bonham was dead and the band broke up. So if this performance was Zeppelin near the end, just imagine how amazing they were in their prime, in the early-mid 1970s.
@@TheLanceUppercut 3 of the 4 1979 shows are as good as any, particularly the Copenhagen gigs. The only subpar night was the 11th of August. They were much worse at the start of the 75 tour and much of 1977 for me.
He was on fire on the '75 tour, '77 tour like 6/24/77, hitting those machine gun noted outta the gate w/ TSRTS.. Baddest drummer ever - simply amazing.. he was the engjne
His drumming on this track in general, but especially here is completely out of hand - to hold that beat and do all those fills for like 10 mins is insane.
Page wrote this legendary orchestration of multi-tracked guitar parts and then had the audacity and ability to pull it off...and we were surprised...but we shouldn't have been. I saw the 77 tour and everything was great, but Presence was the highlight and they played all of it...and so much more for 3 and half hours... including acoustic set in the middle...never forget Achilles that night, it's was the highlight for sure.
Trying to remember 1979?!!. I was 22 ,I'd moved on from the old Gard, thought they were Dinosaurs! I was into the new wave of music, Talking Heads etc. But Iv'e come full circle in the Last couple of years!! At the age of sixty four Iv'e come to realise what an amazing band Zep were, and I'm absolutely loving them!! Forgive me Father for I have Sinned!!..
I grew up in 70s. We're the same age. I was completely taken over by music at age 6. Played piano and drums. When I was a teen, I listened to everything. Steely Dan, Allmans, Beatles, Stones, Zep, Johnny Winter etc. I even got into Return To Forever and Stanley Clarke. I still have eclectic taste and on the hunt for music that moves me. TONY it's never too late to get into great music.
Unreal to see and hear this again. ❤ Bonzo in beast mode, Plant is nailing it, Page acting like the guitar God he is and ever present smooth and cool JPJ.👍🏽 G.O.A.T. 👏🏽 Love this!! ❤😁❤😁❤😁❤😁 Your energy is 🔥!
Super Drummer saves the world !! You hav'nt any time to breathe during 8 mn !! Unbelievable I was at this show in August 1979 among 250 00 people coming from all Europe. Great. All french tickets sold in a few hours this year... 40 years later it's still burning me. RIP John-bonzo you are on a other planet
Yes, Nebworth. The K is silent. Yeah! You want a good workout, try playing that on drums!! And, this is faster than what they did on the studio version!
The original studio version features layer upon layer of guitars overdubbed - it's pretty amazing how Jimmy is able to distill all of that down into one essential guitar part for the live version...
Jimmy would reference his “army of guitars” in the studio, where he could layer 2 or 3 or more guitar tracks on top of each other. I believe the studio version of this song has 6 or 7 guitar overdubs! To attempt to play it live, with one guitar, is brave to say the least… but Jimmy Page is an army of one… and he makes the impossible happen.
Love this! I’ve been in awe with led zep since I first heard them about 20 years ago. Seeing your reaction was truly special as I can relive the excitement and wonder all over again through your experience! ❤
Imo the best Led Zeppelin song there is. I want to suggest to you Focus - Hocus Pocus. and specifically the live tv performance. They were told they only had 4,5 minutes to play, instead of the full 6 minutes so they played it a way faster. It features crazy drumriffs, whistling, yodeling, jazz scatting, ...
Led Zeppelin, the truly greatest hard rock, blues rock, folk rock, heavy metal band of all time! It awesome to see you react the way I did when I first heard them in the 70s. Can you imagine getting bombarded with them, Yes, Pink Floyd and all the rest at the same time?
This guy is really fun, and of course the version of Achilles Last Stand is incredible. When I see this I think yes, Led Zep really is the greatest rock band ever. They are all at the top of their game here and Page is in some kind of interplanetary zone.
Bonham is fucking that drum kit up... you can kind of see in his face though, that he is less than a year away from drinking a half gallon of vodka and leaving us
Masterpiece ♥️🔥♥️🔥♥️ This is the song I have anyone that doesn’t know their music listen to first followed by “Since I’ve been loving you” 🔥🔥 That is Mr. John Henry “Bonzo” Bonham on drums ♥️🔥♥️ The best there ever was RIP 💔
I just freaked out. I am 63 and I have not heard this in years. They are sick!!!!!! Jimmy Page, is a GOD! Read the words on the back of the album! gothcha........looks like Jimmy is throwing Pics out. He says the mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth.
Unstoppable tsunami, runaway locamotive, F-5 tornado, massive avalanche of music from the very best to do it...they pulverize the audience into submission with their prodigious talent .
Sound and swag like a boss? Nah - like THE BOSS! STILL Over 50 years later! It aint ever getting any better than this iconic immortal band. I was just looking at my top 25 list and really Zep owns 10 of them and yes this is one of those 10.
I just say BOW DOWN to the great LZ! One of my absolute faves. Everybody outstanding but Jimmy Page on guitar and John Bonham on drums, oh lord my ears have been blessed
The lyrics were inspired by a trip Jimmy and Robert took to India and the title was inspired by Robert's car accident. He broke his ankle and elbow and was in a wheelchair for a while and uncertain if he'd be able to walk unassisted again. The connection is to mythological Achilles because Achilles had only one weakness; the heel of his foot and an injury there could kill him. The bass line on this song inspired Heart's song Barracuda and I think the machine gun-like sound of the drums inspired Metallica's song One. Out of what I consider Zep's 3 "epic" songs (Stairway and Kashmir are the other 2), this is my favorite.
@@draganmladenovic4879 yes he is better known as the 'RIFF MASTER' classic case in point song entitled 'bring it on home' by Led Zeppelin. It's starts off by Robert Plant on the harmonica singing bluesy and then the guitar comes in and it just explodes into a nasty mesmerising guitar riff the greatest in rock and roll history and Jimmy Page at his best 👌

John Paul Jones...the unsung HERO !!!!
He was such a huge part of all their music!
Honestly, this could possibly be the greatest song ever written-and it never hit the airwaves. Probably because it’s 10 minutes long.
10 years gone
No one ever heard it unless they bought the album but I say this live performance just beats the studio version hands down. I can never get over how great they were live. Tight as hell.
Agree with you, it's epic, greatest rock track of all time imo.
I think it helps to have heard the album version to really appreciate this song live.
Facts
🔥 Jimmy Page 🔥 John Bonham 🔥 Robert Plant 🔥 John Paul Jones 🔥

@@kellijones6481 they are quite a way behind 'yes' even pope has said the best music he has heard was 'yes' music....
When I hear this I feel like Led Zeppelin is taking me on a ride by horse back.
Too me. I always felt Mystical like People with Wings and Bird heads. Dimensions and realms. Dreams.
I’ve said it before just remember there are only 3 instruments being played .
Utterly astonishing
Four--Robert certainly uses his voice like an instrument, and definitely needs to be counted. But I get what you're saying, and it is astonishing. Most bands couldn't get that kind of sound out of twice as many instruments!
This is just bloody UNBELIEVABLE!! At the absolute top of their game.

Bonzo at his pinnacle!! RIP 🙏💙
Bonzo beats those drums like they owe him money. When I listen to Led Zeppelin so do my neighbors. Love your reactions Pop. God Bless
Can you just hear John Bonham on those drums. He's a beast!!!
Greatest drumming performance in rock history. The power and precision is unmatched.
Sometimes it sounds like he's playing with hammers.
RIP
Hammer of the Gods! John Bonham
He is beating them like they owe him money
Now THAT is what REAL musicians look like!!
It's true - even a 'bad' Zeppelin song is 1000 times better than some bands' best work.
There isn’t another drummer that could power through this song like John Bonham does. Magic!
Bonham is on fire! The whole band is firing on all cylinders but good lord, Bonham was so bad-ass!
He was on fire on the '75 tour, '77 tour like 6/24/77, hitting those machine gun noted outta the gate w/ TSRTS.. Baddest drummer ever - simply amazing.. he was the engjne
The Hammer in the Hammer Of The Gods.
His drumming on this track in general, but especially here is completely out of hand - to hold that beat and do all those fills for like 10 mins is insane.
Rock Gods!
The way Jimmy Page makes that Guitar 🎸 scream is magic!
Very complex arrangement with multiple layered guitars made this virtually impossible for four guys to pull off live, yet somehow they managed to..
Page was once asked why didn't they get a second guitarist on tours. His reply: "Wouldn't look right to the audience"
Page wrote this legendary orchestration of multi-tracked guitar parts and then had the audacity and ability to pull it off...and we were surprised...but we shouldn't have been. I saw the 77 tour and everything was great, but Presence was the highlight and they played all of it...and so much more for 3 and half hours... including acoustic set in the middle...never forget Achilles that night, it's was the highlight for sure.
He made it sound multi layered but it's not. Split personality time warping genius
The man on the bass is the one everyone overlooks. He can play any instrument and arranged all their music.
Best. Music. Review. Ever. Thanks!
thank you 🙏🏿
I think we Zeppelin fans should start our own country😂😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
...one of the most emotional..back against the wall
