This is from when they played on the French TV show "Bouton Rouge" while they were touring in 1968. This one was never recorded in a studio, unless you consider a TV studio a real studio.
This Bouton Rouge video has been on UA-cam for many years, and is the best quality recording of this song that exists. The Yardbirds never released Dazed and Confused on a record.
The Yardbirds split up and Jimmy Page got Bonham,Jones &Plant together to fulfil a gig in a scandanavian country,as The new Yardbirds.Came home and became Led Zeppelin
No, the Yardbirds broke up before the recording of their final album was completed. Jimmy Page stayed to start a New Yardbirds, but he didn't get to keep the name so Led Zeppelin was chosen. Page got John Paul Jones because he was a studio bassist and did some work with the band. Plant auditioned and got the job, & he introduced them to Bonham. They were the "New Yardbirds" for a short period of time
thanks for the upload this is an interesting version that is for sure. For all of those of you arguing about who stole from whom do it somewhere else.. When I was younger I wanted to play a guitar with a violin bow after watching my Dad and Sister playing together.. My Dad laughed and later on got me a Zeppelin album haha
It’s very strange not hearing Robert Plant’s moans during the violin bow section. However you can hear Keith Relf doing calisthenics and honking a car horn after 3:23.....
Actually, they had already used the almost exact same solo for ‘Think About It’ (the b-side to their final single ‘Goodnight, Sweet Josephine’). ua-cam.com/video/guO2e25NoSo/v-deo.html
This is the French tv show version. The release that was pulled was the Anderson Theatre rendition. Jake Holmes GAVE the song to The Yardbirds, though his financial situation may have prompted him to reneg much later.
+Mark Roberton 'Cumular Limit' was also withdrawn initially as Page objected to the inclusion of 'I Know I'm Losing You' as it showed that 'Tangerine' had actually started life as a Yardbirds track. And no, Jake Holmes NEVER gave 'Dazed' to the Yardbirds. They saw him play it live in Greenwich Village, then went and bought his LP in order to cover it. Their version is a faithful rock arrangement of the original and should have been recorded - with full credit to Holmes - immediately. If only. The controversy only started when Zep recorded it for their first album with new lyrics and no credit for Holmes. Epic were later forced to rename it 'I'm Confused' on the 1971 Anderson Theatre release, presumably to avoid paying either Holmes or Page a royalty (no songwriting credit is given). Jake did later make an off-hand comment about the Zeppelin track along the lines of 'screw it, let them have it' in an interview, but that could have easily been denied in court. I believe he was finally paid a few years ago, thankfully.
+Syd Floyd 'Knowing That I'm Losing You' wasn't included on the version of Cumular Limit that I own, so I wonder if I've got a later issue that was Pilot's attempt at a compromise? Whatever the case, it mustn't have satisfied Page enough because that version was also withdrawn, this time after about six months.
I don't think the initial version ever reached the shops - it was pulled at promo stage due to Page's objection. I'm not sure exactly why the version that *did* get released was pulled - Page trying to cover up the origins of 'Dazed' yet again I assume.
Studio version? Wikipedia: "The song was never officially recorded by the band, although a live version recorded on 30 March 1968[11] is included on the album Live Yardbirds: Featuring Jimmy Page under the alternate title "I'm Confused". (...) Another live version of the song, recorded on the French TV series "Bouton Rouge" on 9 March 1968, was included on the CD Cumular Limit in 2000 ..."
Wikipedia is incorrect. I purchased this CD from Amazon.com. Luckily I ordered it before it was pulled from the market after it was released for approximately two weeks. I also have several other poor quality live versions on vinyl bootlegs but this IS a studio version.
deggis4 this is not a "bootleg" (as the booklet's inner notes has been written by Greg Russo's yardbirds biographer) -he says this cd is a "complement" for his "little games sessions and more double cd, released time before) - but was released by a less known company called "pilot 24"
+HytekFred This is only a studio version in so far as it was recorded in a TV studio. This is definitely the Baton Rouge French TV session with some weird shit added to it after the 5:34 mark. Play the Baton Rouge video and match it up against this.
If the Beatles hadn't existed do you really think Led Zeppelin would still have come in to existence? Even Zeppelin have said the Beatles influenced them. Yes the Beatles were the and are the best in the world.😎
Funny how everyone needs to compare their favorite band with Beatles. You're just proving the case that the Beatles are the best and you don't even realize it.
As we all know there ate two parts to Jimmy's solo and what's cool about this version is that the parts are reversed! Awesome version of this song but I love Zeppelin's better. But I appreciate the Yardbirds who were ahead of their time. I was a little too young to listen to them the first time around unfortunately. I was just a kid in the 60's!
For the avoidance of doubt, this is The YARDBIRDS (active 1963-1968 approx). Main guitarists were first Eric Clapton (pre-John Mayall & Cream) & after him Jeff Beck. Jimmy Page only overlapped with Beck for a few months. The TV show appearance from which the bulk of this track (NOT the very fazed & contused backwards coda) is taken can be seen elsewhere on UA-cam. The main band was Keith Relf vcls, Paul Samwell-Smith, Chris Dreja bass, JIM McCARTY drums + young 'session gun for hire' Jimmy Page. This explains why the drummer doesn't sound like Bonzo. I'll have to look at the footage again myself to see if Jeff Beck put in an appearance on this show. Subsequently, Page briefly thought of stealing the dead group's identity for a new band, The New Yardbirds, but the name 'Led Zeppelin' won out...
Cool stuff...never heard this version before. A sort-of "rough draft" for Led Zep, you could say. I wasn't crazy about the last few minutes of backwards noise at the end of it, though. It got a little grating at that point. Still, some interesting rock and roll history here.
there are at least 4 versions of this song by the yardbirds, all of them recorded live. the only true studio version would be the one recorded at the BBC. not an easy version to come by. the best version is the one from the anderson theater recording. the Yardbirds are perhaps the greatest music experiment ever, as their innovations were copied by everyone while they themselves were largely ignored. tangerine was also recorded by the yardbirds ( called knowing that i'm losing you ). it was supposed to be on this album but was pulled at the last minuet.. they finally released it on yardbirds 68, but without keith's vocals. for this song to be properly credited, whether its the yardbirds or zeppelin performing , it should say written by jake holmes with musical arrangement by the yardbirds.....
No..this obviously not a studio version....just the common,Bouton Rouge,recording yet again....For me still the best(and really it is a studio recording),is the recording they made for the John Peel,Sunday BBC afternoon radio show.First time this heard(least ways in the uk) then of course later released in the USA/Canada as the Live With Jimmy Page LP,as Im Confused.
Not a "Studio" version by any means. Jim McCarty worked out the arrangement then Page worked out the lead parts. Similar riff was used on "Think about it"
a master con man. he had the world convinced he wrote this song for 30 years despite the original by Holmes being officially released years before Zep.

Sounds far better, when a TV camera from the period wasn't around. The protocols of "keeping things tame" were abysmal--probably 'cause parents back then were more likely to horn in on what their kids were watching. Before LZ, we wonder if The YB, in live concerts, could dish out a sound almost as loud, and make this "D & C" jam, long and sophisticated enough, as did LZ?
btw NB Jimmy Page did not leave the Yardbirds to form Zeppelin, he had the Yardbirds, since all the other members left and they reformed first as the New Yardbirds and later as Led Zeppelin.
+Peter F. There was no such band as the 'New Yardbirds', it was officially always just the Yardbirds until they changed it to Led Zeppelin. The 'New' was added to some gig advertisements by promoters trying to generate excitement about their gigs, but it was never a true part of their name (Page would never have used such a naff moniker).
Not true. The Yardbirds had a small tour of Scandinavia booked when they fell apart. Jimmy Page got together a new band and used them to cover the contractual obligation. For this small tour they were called the New Yardbirds, the first concert was at the Gladsaxe Teen Club in Copenhagen on September 7th 1968. I read an interview with Kieth Relf a couple of years ago (which I now can't find), and he claimed that the remaining members of the Yardbirds were not pleased with Page calling his new band "The New Yardbirds" since they also still had rights to the band name so they got a court order preventing Page from calling his new band that, forcing Page to change the name. The rest is generally known here.
Didn't the name "Led Zeppelin" come from Keith Moon? I think they asked him to join 'New Yardbirds', but the concept didn't appeal to him, saying it would go down "like a lead zeppelin". That's what I heard, anyway.
Moon's "went down like a bleeding lead zeppelin" remark referred to a jam session between himself, John Entwistle, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and (I think) Nicky Hopkins, and the "lead zeppelin" remark stayed with Page. The drummer Page originally wanted in the New Yardbirds wasn't Moon but Procol Harum's B.J. Wilson, who wasn't able to join because of the Harum obligations.
Yes, it says " Robert Plant, come to the devil and sell your soul to become Led Zeppelin. Seriously though, it was probably a partially used reel to reel tape, and the reverse tracks played when re-recorded after the song was up. Probably a different band tape too, because there is piano, and talking on another track.
And the guitar with the violin bow Jimmy stole from Eddie Phillips...lol...Jimmy stole everything under the sun and became rich and famous for it....smh... Eddie Phillips used the bow to his guitar from earlier on with the Creation....I think that was the bands name I'll have to Google it.
@@The_whimsickal_artist yep. I learned of the plagiarism in my late 20s 🤦🏽♂️ but since 19 years old i knew Clapton is the greatest guitarist to be a part of the Yardbirds and 2nd only to Hendrix in the 60s. Its just that he took his foot off the gas when he left Cream.
The same Jake Holmes song but different. Even different from the Led Zeppelin song. There is a beat advance difference in the Holmes/Yardbirds vocal line. Robert Plant made this one gel much better by delaying the verse line a bit to work with the guitar riff better. He also dropped the "Mouse and Cat" line (thankfully) and I assume, he included the darker "woman created below" line (genius), which took it to a new heavier realm. All are really good song writing/arranging works but I still prefer the Led Zeppelin version.
So how come the song was credited to "Page" on Led Zeppelin I when Page had previously performed it with the Yardbirds using Jake Holmes original lyrics? Why did he claim to be the sole composer until 2010, when he KNEW he wasn't, and when he had a lot more money than Jake Holmes? Why did he refuse to give the man credit for his song?
What’s really interesting is a lot of people that Zep lifted from, outwardly expressed that they didn’t really care or were not going to take legal action. Which leaves me to believe a couple of things. 1) they were threatened 2) they were paid off 3) they also lifted the musical parts themselves
I find it funny how everybody talks about Jimmy Page is plagiarism. If it was so easy to do what he did, I think a lot more people would be doing it LMAO.
The decision to give the credit or not wasn't on Jimmy Page, but on Led Zep's manager, probably the stingiest man alive at that time. If you have more than two covers on an album, you have to pay the royalties. So they credited the two most obvious covers and not the others.
+Dan K It's not clear whether it was Moon or Entwistle who said it (I've always thought John more likely), but what was allegedly said was "Let's call it Led Zeppelin, 'cos it'll probably go down like a lead balloon".
It is. Try listening to Blaze Bayley's version of Dazed and confused from his album 2003 'As live as it gets.' Personally I think it's better than either Led Zep or the Yardbirds.
It was not written by Page - they stole this song from Jake Holmes ! also many of Zeps song was not written by them, but they didn´t care, just wrote Zep as songwriters !
sure as long as you give credit to the songwriter and that was never done - thats pretty poor by any standard of the imagination - the time the effort the creativity the recording the cost etc .....and then someone steals it off you regardless of what they did with it - which Zeps version was an amazing version of it - but credit the guy that is just good manners and decency
Drummer is quite good though . And the former rhythem guitarist on bass sit bad either. Relf simply was not right Although strangely hd sounded good on th Ed heavy progressive Armageddon album in 1975.
heh. it sounds like their song structure borrows from the long "na na na' outro from the beatles "hey jude" either that or their tape machine malfunctioned while they were out to lunch!!! LOL!!
it's like the drummer figured out what to play about halfway through the song, and from then on it's magnificent
John Paul Jones, John Bonham, Robert Plant took this to the stratosphere! Amazing to hear the yardbirds embryonic performance. Zeppelin Rising
It's a cover of a Jake Holmes song. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazed_and_Confused_(Jake_Holmes_song)
An all out excellent band from beginning to end!!
Oh yes they were. A shame they have better management until Peter Grant showed up.

sdgakatbk...oh yeah...selling 300 million records isn't what anyone would call a 'led balloon'. Fool
thankfully zep changed lyrics, mouse and a cat?
Completely stolen from Jake Holmes.
Partially stolen from jake holmes
Jake Holmes had great lyrics. Jimmy Page made minor chsnges to the lyrics and them claimed the song as his own. Yeh, he stole it.
Seperate but Equal.
Stinks on Ice
The drums couldn't keep up with Page's guitar playing. Still good though.
Wow, it sounds even more similar to Jake Holmes' "Dazed and Confused" (1967 !!! ) .... the rip-off began earlier than we thought.... ;-)
kinda asshole-y to cover this song and claim credit for writing it, but damn, led zeppelin really did improve it in my opinion.
i like this better sounds more broken and crazy. Sounds like Sid Barret Pink Floyd.. Led doesnt come close to thiis one.
It is. Try listening to Blaze Bayley's version of Dazed and confused from his album 2003 'As live as it gets.' Personally I think it's better than either Led Zep or the Yardbirds.
Did.......... good...... but not better
It was not written by Page - they stole this song from Jake Holmes ! also many of Zeps song was not written by them, but they didn´t care, just wrote Zep as songwriters !
Wrong!
@@SonateSonate No Jake Holmes wrote Dased and confused ua-cam.com/video/pTsvs-pAGDc/v-deo.html
lol
Stealing everything!!!!
The Yardbirds version is good. The Led Zeppelin version is the better one.
I couldn't listen to this. Apparently, Page agreed with me. He derided the album "Little Games" as "horrible."
I guess it's OK to take Jake Homes music if you evolve into a "iconic masterpiece" right? RIGHT!?!??? uhhh... right?????
sure as long as you give credit to the songwriter and that was never done - thats pretty poor by any standard of the imagination - the time the effort the creativity the recording the cost etc .....and then someone steals it off you regardless of what they did with it - which Zeps version was an amazing version of it - but credit the guy that is just good manners and decency
Maybe better than Led Zep version!
agreed!!!
I think the Zep lyrics are better.
Sorry yet NO FUCKING WAY!
Same guy on guitar
It is better
Jimmy Page left the Yardbirds to create Led Zepplin.
No thats not how it happened
NO, gli Yardbirds diventarono Led Zeppelin.
Drummer is quite good though . And the former rhythem guitarist on bass sit bad either. Relf simply was not right
Although strangely hd sounded good on th Ed heavy progressive Armageddon album in 1975.
heh. it sounds like their song structure borrows from the long "na na na' outro from the beatles "hey jude" either that or their tape machine malfunctioned while they were out to lunch!!! LOL!!
Except this came out before hey jude
Wish they'd cut Keith Relf's Harp & vocal grunts out of this recording!! He was out of his depth in this song. Sad.
This does not slap
I like this better then the led zeppelin version.
Same
Yeah the drums much more listenable.
not as good as led zep
Page should have at least credited Holmes. What a jerk.
this smells fake
You smell fake
