Cheers,
I love your work, you have a Tarantino quality about you.
I have thought you are a bot because of the overload of information you present.
Wow Marty, thank you. Tarantino is a mad man. But your BOT comment, that's a compliment i take hahahahah. At work i've always been tunnel vision with my tasks...maybe i was a BOT in a past life!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories
No, bots are future tense!
You are ahead of your time sir! 👨🌾
Imagine that. Wish i could have a bot to do my errands but these things keep us sane inside the game!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories
I say Tarantino because he is all about the production details, sick as they may be sometimes.
You present high integrity in a dumbed down world my friend.
Rock & Roll!
I appreciate it Martin, sincerely. At a point in which my career is making me believe in myself from a very different place than before, i see no coincidence in your message. Producing these episodes is always from scratch meaning i want to stress in a good way, so i am happy with it :) This Music Documentary library will keep growing. Some humor here and there, but Passion all the way. I wish you much prosperity and health in your life.
Bonham and John Paul held their live shows together. It was a long time ago, feb 13 1975, and I was just 15 yrs old, but what I remember most was the power coming off of that stage. The live bootlegs and other live recordings do their live shows no justice. 3 1/2 hours of pure hard rock joy! Thanks for keeping the Zeppelin legend alive!
I am sure the boots do no justice, you are so lucky to have witnessed such MAGIC. It's always underwhelming for me to go to a Stadium Concert and then watching cell phone footage or even an official release...it has something to do with the way it is MIXED. Some engineers insist on sucking the life out of it. Cellphones too, but this can be corrected in post production with some tools. Thanks so much for watching!
Been watching your docs on Zeppelin for many months now and they are just so good and informing - I thought I knew all about Led Zeppelin - saw them in 1979 - Best concert ever - still think of it and made dam sure my children were bought up on Zep plus special guests - once again thank you for A wonderful documentry
Wow that means a lot Simon, thanks for your comment. Raising your children with Led Zeppelin is parenting done well, for this i salute you and also being there at KNEBWORTH....WOW. Hope you enjoy the chapters and avenues in this channel!
For years, I've been trying to get my head around the exclusion of Wanton Song from the 77 tour. Its one of my favourites because to me it's quintessential Zeppelin. Now I know!
As a young female with dreams of being a female journalist to interview the band, I took heed to those lyrics.
Yeah, later those dreams came true, and that quintessential Zep was their alma mater.
They were extremely nice and professional.
They were tame by the time I met them.
I think Robert could have pulled it off in 1977 with a lower register but yeah, the song was a high octane piece that got the best of out EVERYONE. Thank you very much for watching!
Good Lord, you literally looked up NBA games happening concurrently with LZ concerts in the mid-70s in nearby regional cities and then did a broadcast-level job of presenting basketball footage in the background.
I've listened to LZ bootlegs since the CD-R era and been aware of the differences in the major tours but this video is the first in all those years of succinctly presenting why the '75 tour was just so...1975. With the way you put the same tune back-to-back comparitively from various concerts on the tour with your narrative for insight it was as if a war was being set to drama.
Absolutely penetrating analysis.
I'm so grateful you enjoyed the NBA data, i wanted to do the whole tour but had to stop hehe, ran out of coffee. The 1975 Tour and myself have had a troubled relationship but like you said, now i get why it was so 1975....which i'm sure will lead me to revisit many shows from this tour now and make episodes on them. Your words are encouraging really, maybe watching so many episodes of Unsolved Mysteries as a kid paid off, i LOVE storytelling. More to come. Share this video if you like it :) Thank you very much for watching!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories
Great labour of love, once again...BRAVO‼️
All you need to do is tie in NHL games, too...
🇨🇦
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories '75 does have some interesting moments, for sure. It was the only tour where they ever did When the Levee Breaks and they only did it a couple times IIRC.
Personally my favorite tour and the one that I go back to the most is the '77 tour. Bonzo stopped using the ringy clear-kit, Page is a bit less strung out, and JPJ started using the Alembic bass (though many fans have a disdain for it) and I find that setup to punch a bit more and carried their live sound forward from the muddier sounding '73 & '75 tours. With bands like Van Halen that were going to take the 80s by storm just starting to make waves, LZ was playing to prove they weren't ready for pasture yet. The string of LA Forum concerts and of course Cleveland are some high points in my book.
Just dropped a sub, your work is incredible. Don't know how you manage to weave all the data points into a cohesive narrative. Do some live streams, man! Checking out the Presence doc next! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I can hear every crackle at 33 1/3 RPM...
I can still remember that needle jump during Kashmir...
I can remember how out of place "I can't Quit You Baby" tacked on to the end of side B was but it just fit...
I can remember these things because in 1986 for my 13th Birthday I had asked for Physical Graffiti. Being that I was just becoming an insane Zeppelin fan who was mesmerized by Bonzo and trying to figure everything out on a VERY experienced Rogers jazz kit, the Double album was outside of my means.
Worst case scenario, perhaps if there was some cash in the birthday cards and if I could convince someone older to ride the bus with me up to one of the underground record stores near Syracuse University then I might be able to procure my own copy. In my heart, mind and spirit this double album was the evolutionary jump that I was starved for.
My brother being 7 years my senior partied with his crew. The scents in his apartment...the weed, the hashish, the alcohol unmercifully soaked into that poor carpet, the incense, his female friends body splash all mixing with Marlboro Reds. Nothing has ever smelled like that or the same ever since.
I can only imagine that while he was dubbing Physical Graffiti onto that Maxel 90 minute tape during one of those hangouts at his crib that someone bumped into the stand that held his turntable and that is how the needle jumps during Kashmir. At some point later on during one of my visits to my brother's apartment I went and listened to Kashmir from his copy of PG and nope, there wasn't a scratch. There was no needle jump. By then I had listened to my dubbed cassette so many times that the needle jump was embezzled into my memory. Lol, it sounded odd to not hear that jump at "and my eyes fill with"(cue the needle jump).
Hahaha, TRY TO FIND THE WAY I FEEL!!!
My brother gave me more than a dub. He gave me more than an album that I had mystified on my own. He gifted me a menagerie of windows on St. Mark's for my imagination to peer into by way of my mind because there was no album cover to look at, being it was a dub.
He gave me a door to enter where my adolescent mind could escape to and find a comfort as I was going through changes while becoming an unfamiliar version of myself...Whoa, mama, well it must be time I'm goin'
They're knockin' down them doors
They're tryin' to take me away.
He gave me this insane live version of ICQYB at the end of side B. He knew what he was doing. Sure, it filled the space nicely at the end of the cassette but even after all of it's light and dark ebb and flow, it's loud and soft...it was the chaotic galloping polly-rythemed drum fill that resonated out in to an empty hall that stoned REALLY stoned me.
I was figuring out drumming and Bonzo had already been changing my game but that drum outro at the completion of ICQYB was haunting, calculated and melancholy all at once. He knew I'd never heard this before and he knew it would push me even further towards finding my way to a flurry of triplets that would take me a lifetime to master.
When you touch the dragon's tail , understand just who and what it is that you have awoke.
JCM, Thank You for your videos and thank You immensely for accepting the challenge of telling the story of planet Zeppelin and just how this amazing album was created.
Then as it was, then again it will be.
Nice story. Thanks for sharing.✌️
I enjoyed the read very much.
As a young American southern gospel church attendee, with a mother who played piano for our great big church, who learned piano personally from Jerry Lee Lewis and Fats Domino, I know all about those triplets.
Every song had ad lib triplets and there where no whole notes, only triplets.
You can say a whole lot in those triplets.
So glad you mastered them.
LZ sure brought those triplets alive.
They had to bring our sound back on home.
Could you write a 1000 word essay on seeing song remains the same for the first time ?
I really am glad that you provide the itch, that is, I can't get enough of the story about how Jimmy Page formed the greatest rock band of all time.
The band, when I first heard them, I was hooked like a big catfish ! And introduced pure rock and roll and the blues into my youth. And for that they will always be for me " The Mighty Led Zeppelin "
The most amazing thing from the totality of the Mighty Led Zeppelin is...
Ticket requests for the 2007 show were in the 10s of millions! That is just incredible!
The theme song to this is suitably epic. Great job, JCM!
Thanks so much man!!! It was fun to record!
1975, especially in NYC, was not a good time for people and the municipality overall. The city was on the verge of bankruptcy, city services were cut, and, of course, the abandonment and burning of buildings. (For the record, I was a Bronx native.) People found solace in attending concerts. And many thousands wanted to see LZ again. Bravo.
Thanks for sharing this comment with guys Eric. NYC was in dire straits for sure. Abandonment key word here, i think fans found hope in these shows like you say. 100%

Jose's, my friend. You are an incredible historian and documentary creator.
Your addiction and love for Led Zeppelin is almost unhealthy, but thank God You are able to give large doses to other fans to share in that wonderment so that everyone can feel what You feel about this legendary quartet.
You are helping fans remember why they became fans and hopefully turning the newer fans into Zeppelin fanatics.
Fantastic work on this series.
Your friend
Wow, thank you Kenneth! It makes me smile to think this contributes to remembering our musical heroes in the best light possible. Our should i say IN THE LIGHT? Thank you very much for watching!
Jose, no other band has ever been this Amazing, Inspiring and NEVER with Imo .
You have done it My Friend you have made amazing content from Day one looking into the Mighty Led Zeppelin. Hats off to you Jose. 10/10 A++++++ work . 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow, thank you Keith! Going for more, aiming at covering more stuff! First i need to get coffee!
Jose... Since you spoke of your love of the 98 Page/Plant version of "Night Flight," have you ever heard Jeff Buckley's take on "Night Flight" from the expanded "Live at Sin-é" album? Jeff always mentioned Zeppelin as an influence in his music and cited Graffiti as his favorite record. (PS: Jeff's spontaneous take on "Kashmir" from the 95 Paris Olympia show is a hoot...) Godspeed, Jose...
Night Flight-

I've heard Jeff Buckley's Kashmir but NEVER knew about this one....JUST WOW Victor, what a take on Zeppelin's tune. I bet Robert was a FAN of it. Jeff's style...unmatched, what a tragedy his passing.
Can’t believe how hard you work putting this together for us, thank you!
✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Glad you enjoy it! Creating this documentary library is a dream come true! Thanks so much for watching!
Another home run, Jose! Thank you again, for a great documentary.
My pleasure! Can't wait to share the upcoming videos i have on my list, i need more coffee hahahah Thanks so much for watching!
Another great episode. Thank you as always,Jose! ✌️
My pleasure! Btw sorry for my sudden exit from today's live jam session. I was bothered by a comment made by this dude on my guitar playing. Also i sometimes wish more people send super chats as a concert tickets, but it's all good. You're always supporting my works, I THANK YOU!
Your my favorite Zeppelin channel! Keep up the outstanding work! All the best! 😎😎😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My pleasure Gary! More videos coming up, first i need to buy more coffee! haha Have a great week! Thanks so much for watching!
So much goes on in the lives of the band members that we know nothing of at the time. Your dedication to the Zepp timeline and what external events, releases were going on during it, makes me feel like the fly on the wall. Nice one Jose.
Hey Scott what a great reflection on these times. Yes, it's mind boggling to realize so much stuff happening...certainly helps put into perspective how stardom doesn't happen over night. As always, Thanks so much for watching!
I'm from Pittsburgh. What a year it was in 1975. I became 10 years old, I learned about Marijuana, and the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Superbowl and led Zeppelin was playing at the Civic Arena! Who could ask for more
Oh man, the Steelers winning the Superbowk? I didn't know this. I visited Pittsburgh in 2019, was sad to find out Civic Arena was demolished. Thank you very much for watching.
Such awesome work, all your docs. Have you ever thought about making a series on the 1970 Royal Albert Hall show? The video of that concert is absolutely amazing.
Thanks so much for watching! RAH 1970 is a landmark show absolutely. There's very intersting information behind the video recording actually, i may do this at some point, one thing's for sure, the SOUND is PRIME Zepp!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Agreed, amazing show, and a great bonus is Jimmy playing his Les Paul Custom on the encore. Would love to see a series on that, but love everything you put out!
I’m totally addicted to these documentaries Jose
Happy Easter 🐰
Happy Easter to you Keith! Thought this video is sorta an Easter Egg hehe. Cheers to the Mighty Jones!
Thank you very much for your dedication to telling an accurate Zeppelin story. I had no idea that Robert had vocal surgery TWICE, I always wondered what had happened to his vocals. The power that he used to have was gone by 1975. The first three albums his vocals were very powerful then his first surgery, his vocals were still really good then 1975 and after the second surgery you can hear his vocals had changed.
Robert went through very hard times, battled his way through many obstacles indeed. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for this.
Thank you Jose!!!! Physical Grafitti is my favorite album from my favorite band. And as always you’ve done an awesome job of bringing the story of its making to life.
My pleasure. Happy to know your favorite album was treated with the light it deserves. I'm celebrating the end of the series with coffee hehe. Cheers. Thank you very much for watching!
Hey, sensational episode as always, and heartfelt thank you for such devotion and dedication to your research. It's so great to hear the snippets from the tour as well. It's truly inspirational hearing them play these numbers until they are well oiled. Fascinating, truly fascinating. I'm sure you will agree as a fellow musician that it's one thing recording new songs, it's another thing rehearsing them before taking the show on the road, but when you first play them live? Man that's next level and it's a highly pressured environment. I found it with my old band when we played our own material. And the thing with all Led Zeppelin's material, there's no easy tracks as I've found out many many times no matter how much you think you might have nailed it! With my latest band we're rehearsing Kashmir and I tell you what it's a really, really out of this world feeling as we're progressing. The song is an experience, it's a cut above everything else. I've always counted it as my favourite, and my friend on drums absolutely owns it. And here's the thing; our bass player and vocalist have both said that it's a surreal hypnotic experience. They're in awe of it!!! I recently tried to cover In my time of dying...... jeez it's one of the hardest things I have ever tried to play!!! The Wanton Song as well? Another real tough one! Apparently Robert said they started with it during the 1996 and 1998 gigs because it was a great way to warm up. Just finally? So glad you used clips from the Page Plant London gig for Night Flight......I wish they would release the entire gig, it's a sublime capture best played very very loud!!! Just search for "Page Plant from the pit" and should find it. Beautiful version of Rock and Roll at the end. Thanks so much again Jose, sending peace and love, keep rocking Sir ❤️🎸
I relate 200% to your description of rehearsing Kashmir. As a former Zepp tribute band guitarist, yeah...it's one thing to record, another to pull off on stage. Your musician perspective is great to enjoy these episodes so much more. The Wanton Song is so tricky right? It's deceptively simple haha. The London 1998 gig Page Plant yes...the sound i like very much, this last tour was great, Jimmy was on fire. Thank you for tuning in Martin, i appreciate your comment very much!
Love your documentaries. Thank you!
Glad you like them! More stuff coming soon! Thank you very much for watching!
Brother I appreciate your documentary’s. I watch them all more than once, they are excellent
I wish I could remember them. I’m 68 ,
& I saw my 1st show in 10th grade @ 16 in ‘71
Then ‘73 first year after High School graduation
Then ‘75 when in Jr College @ 21
The ‘77 was my last year single @ 24.⭐️
Back then in the ‘70’s
I was doing a lot of
“just say no”
& (it does effect you memory) 😀
Thanks amigo for the great reminders of my youth
Peace ✌🏻
Wow that's an incredible list of shows. I salute you and what an honor to have you watch these video creations more than once. My pleasure amigo, cheers to you for living these times!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories you do great research and well done documentation. 1975 was the year all the big English groups toured The Floyd, Yes, The Who, Stones, Tull, also Dylan.
A video about that would be cool. The last year before punk hit and ended it all more or less for the English domination of the radio youth culture.
It was so different after that.
Good series man. Love watching your production skills grow and grow.
I appreciate that! Glad you can tell the production values going up, i got myself a new PC i gotta take my time to set while this old one works full time haha. Thank you very much for watching Dave!
Thanks again, as always.
Lots of history. I know his voice was not like it was in the first few albums, but I just take it as part of that time and place of that album. I love the album though. Great video! Looking forward to more from you! Also curious of what artist or album you might focus on next. The Santana videos were too good! I might have to watch those for a 3rd or 4th time!
Thanks a lot Michael! I have a whiteboard filled with names, doing another Santana video is definitely on the table. Maybe Lotus?
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Oh, Lotus would be legendary! I would of loved to been at Osaka Kōsei Nenkin Kaikan in Osaka, Japan then! I had the album on CD, and a couple years ago I got the nice MOFI/Sony repress of it from Japan on vinyl! They redid the whole layout! I also found an original which I gave to my dad. I don’t think anyone has ever released a vinyl with that kind of layout since. Just incredible! The music is mesmerizing! I think it’s sad that not a lot of people know about or give proper credit to the kind of music he was doing then!
You did magnificent work on this series it was endlessly fascinating.
Another killa vid JCM and do you like the lamb lies down on broadway? Fantastic album
I like the Lamb yes. Not all of it but it's the kind of album i have to listen in its entirety, it's like going to a movie. What i DO like A LOT are the live renditions from THIS tour. Peter Gabriel really out did himself and the players behind him too. Gabriel was smart in leaving...there was nothing left to do for him. A genius knows when it's time to look for other destinations. Thank you very much for watching!
great job - yes Jimmys soloing and tone never was the same after 1973 he lost his dexterity
Yeah Rick, he certainly changed, i mean the 1975 shows are still rocking and mighty, but the vibe was different. I do admire how Jimmy kept branching out, taking chances it seems!
❤ OK! JCM you are possessed with Zep!!! Dude Man, your research is off the charts. OMG! Never seen anything like this. St. Mark is a great nasty jam. You are the GOAT of Zep research and knowledge. I wish I had this knowledge and media 30 years ago. So much fun to watch and learn, you rock man. Just the fact that you focused on Robert’s register makes me want to bow down man, no one thinks about that?! You’re on a different level, needs to be appreciated, I donated $$ to you, others have to too. I respect you, you got a sick fever, check your temp. ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Matt, so glad to read your comment. Always a pleasure to read a passionate music fan like yourself. I think i've reconciled myself with these 1975 shows, will do concert retrospectives on many dates from the tour soon. I THANK YOU very much for your honest support. Who would have thought i would be doing this in 2024 back when i began in August 2022. Life moves forward and i am GRATEFUL everyday. I guess watching so many episodes of Unsolved Mysteries as a kid paid off in the Storytelling department haha. Much prosperity and Health to you and your loved ones man!
Inspiring stuff. Love looking 'under the hood' of the musical engine, even the mistakes are enlightening. Great work.
I'm glad you enjoyed these. Quite obsessed here with showing this side of the story. So much music to cover!!! Thank you very much for watching!
Thanks for all the hard work! Amazing series! What is the intro song to this? Very cool
Hey Michael, thanks so much! So the intro theme is a song i made exclusively for the series. It's me on guitar and bass :)
I never understood why they didn’t play “The Rover.” Would have been a great live song. They only used the intro to morph into “Sick again.” I guess we’ll never know.
Great post❤
Glad you enjoyed it !
Superb episode Jose, loving this series. I was gutted when they dropped the Wanton Song for Earls Court, but it made sense if it was killing Roberts voice. I got to hear him sing it at Reading in 98, where he used his low register. Amazing documentary again JCM I thank you 🙏
Amazing work!!
Thank YOU very much for watching!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Thanks you for your work!
Hi José,
Thank you for mentioning me.
Regarding Nico’s composition, ‘Afraid’ from her 1971 album, *Desertshore* - and any similarities to ‘In The Light’ - in particular, the chordal structure. This composition is done in a European art song style. After I taught myself a single guitar arrangement of ‘In The Light’ - I sensed, heard and realised a chordal connection to ‘Afraid’ and decided to try to learn that tune in solo guitar arrangement and figure out how to play ‘Afraid’ as well - and here is the interesting part: without hardly even trying, it seemed that some unseen force automatically guided my hands on the guitar’s strings and fretboard like magick... Spooky! The guitar arrangement harmony is in a classical style. This all happened soon after Nico died in 1988. I have another (really scary) story about Nico that I will tell you some other time.
Wow man cant wait to hear it. I certainly will never forget Nico's album now haha. Thank you very much for your contribution for this episode. Keep them coming! Have a great weekend.
ANOTHER killer episode! i think you've outdone yourself, again! one little thing i found awesome was how you superimposed some of the basketball stuff. and the classic supersonics logo! i went to many games at the coliseum as a kid. before zeppelin and rock music, there was basketball games. i didn't end up seeing a show there until 1978 aerosmtih. oh and a few months later, van halen opening for sabbath. :) i'd trade all of it to have seen the march 21st show though. but i was only 12 and not ready.
Wow man, THANKS SO MUCH. Dude you have no idea the rabbit hole i went into getting the NBA data, i almost wanted to do this for THE WHOLE TOUR but had to stop hahahaha. I Loved Basketball as a kid, huge Jordan and Bulls fan here, so i can relate. Van Halen opening for Sabbath, i've read the stories of them outdoing the Sabs, hehe, poor guys. Thank you very much for watching!
Hey JCM - I really enjoy it when you analyze "unreleased" recordings. Today I have a bunch of Zep boots taken off of CD and dumped in to my iTunes. Back in the day, I had the big vinyl boots of the time - Badgeholders, Destroyer, Paris Theatre, BBC compilations, etc...
The big vinyl boots are so cool, i've seen them...they really are HISTORIC documents. Glad you enjoyed my analysis. Coming up with these bits is always challenging but i ENJOY it very much. Thank you very much for watching!
Thank you JCM for all the research and effort you put into these videos. You are a legend! Could you please cover the relationship between Zep and Black Sabbath one day? I know that they were all mates and Zep wanted to sign Sabbath onto Swan Song at one point. Keep up the great work man!
Hey Nathan, first off thank you very much for watching. The band's relationship to Sabbath is definitely interesting because of Plant and Bonzo's Birmingham connection to them. I think Page and Jones were not as close because their London Vibes. A great what if ...Sabbath signing to Swan Song. Let me write this down and see if i can develop it in the future!
Muchas Gracias
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the series finale for Physical Graffiti!
Great wrap up to the series Jose!! I still do not know why they didn't film footage from the '75 tour to use in TSRTS . It would of be a great addition even with '73 footage. Like during Page's druid part change time during Dazed and Confused then to return to the show footage of 1975. That would of been interesting. I have spoke with people that went to the Chicago shows and they all praised them. The live cuts are great !! great job on this !!!!
Vance, its certainly a lost opportunity. To think about a 1975 concert film version of TSRTS is haunting. Now the fantasy sequences would have looked weird maybe? I will do a deep dive on the movie soon....getting my mind ready for it hehe! The Chicago Shows rocked, instrumentally speaking, the sonic dimensions of this band....INCREDIBLE!
The year that I was born. Such great music. Wish that I could have seen the actual band but Page and Plant was a great alternative. Thanks for another great episode.
Rock on! I wish i could see them live in 1973 but i was far from coming into this world. Music is certainly the best TIME TRAVEL machine. Thank you very much for watching!
I was at their last American show in Oakland, July 24th, 1977…
@@marions.120 yeah that’s cool. I was two years old lol
@@jer0051 -I get it, I was fifteen and my drummer was there with his Mother, but he was only 3!
Good job on the audio. Many miss the mark with amateur sound/editing. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it! I handle it with care! Thanks for watching!
St. Marks Groove sounds like a combination of the ending of she's so heavy by the beatles and the exciting middle part of anyway by Genesis but played by led zeppelin featuring Jeff beck. And anyway is from the lamb lies down.
Wow!!! a BIG THANK YOU to you! Heavy influences there, all of them music i LOVE!
GREAT series! I'm glad you mentioned the very noticeable change in Jimmy's tone from the '73 tour. From what I've read, he switched to a different model of Marshall head for '75. Personally I prefer his tone in '73, it was the perfect sound to me.
You know your stuff Jim. Page's tone in 1973 was perfect. While my favorite is his Hiwatt 1970 crunch, the 1973 tour is my favorite and it allowed for him to venture into crazy soloing without losing the rhythm work dynamics. Thank you very much for watching!
Well done series.
Thanks so much for watching!
This used to be my favorite zep album, until I realized all the songs I didn’t like were outtakes. Your comment about how this may have been better as a single album was spot on. Contrary to your comment in the other episode, many of the songs like IMTOD, in the light and 10 years gone and others could have been edited down. And some tracks could have been left out just like every other zep album. For these reasons Presence is the best (as Plant said in a 2006 rolling stone article, obviously changing his mind from the late 80s). Zep 3 was the place to do a double album as an exploration of rock’s origins, they had way more than 90 minutes of music in the can for that one. Maybe then Coda could’ve been a solid double album of all 8 studio album outtakes including the studio outtakes that got released in box sets in the coming decades. Instead coda was a mess that contained live tracks that were out of place. Nice documentaries, they are better than any I have seen on the band!
I wouldn't edit a single second from a Zep album.
Well done.
Thank you very much for watching!
THE GOATS !!!
Going to see Robert this June with Alison Krauss on the fist show of their tour !
A live version of The Rover would kick ass !!
Hell yeah man!!! ENJOY a killer show. Krauss and Plant are magic together!
👍thanks
Thank you very much for watching Mike!
Normally, in any comment, I’d be miffed about being the 224th commenter when I could have been the 222nd, if I’d only responded sooner. So much so that ordinarily I would not make a comment because 224 is not as special as 222, in an alliterative sense. However, it is very important the creator of this documentary to understand how essential this documentary is and how vital it is the narrator continues producing these documentaries. I never heard LED ZEPPELIN live. I am blown away by the snippets of their performances. I thought live, they were like a jam band, using repetition to extend shows. They are not like that. They are so intuitively linked with one another, they seem to do things they never have done before and make it sound professional.
Maybe I am wrong, but Led Zeppelin seems to be a band that shows proof of telepathy in their performance. They evolve their songs, and it is not overly repetitive, from what I hear. Thank you for making these performances available.
Thanks so much Ross, your words are encouraging to keep going. I would say my Patreons and Paypal supporters are to be thanked as well, they fund the hours and hours of dedicated research these episodes require. More stuff coming so you can deep dive into the nature of their concerts :)
I dont mean to be a stickler for detail, but that wasn't a photo of a volkswagon rabit. It was a picture of an amc pacer.
What i mean by year of the rabbit was the Chinese Year 1975= Rabbit :) Thanks for watching!
Physical Graffiti is my favorite Zep disc.
just awesome! Please do a doc series on deep purple and the purple family tree: Whitesnake, Rainbow, Gillan, Ian Gillan band, Lord Ashton Paice, Coverdale solo work and the Butterfly ball. P.S. can you if possible make a video playing "sometimes I feel Like im in Barcelona" on the acustic guitar? I really wanna see you do that track!!!!!! Much love from Orlando Florida
Again, more of their shows should have been filmed. Talk about sick again.
Yes!! The angles, the lighting, their stamina before decandent 1977, Jimmy at least....the 1975 stage had so much potential.
thanks for making mention of the prrety things since there a relatively obscure Great band definetly noteworthy.!
I will do an episode on The Pretty Things at some point, their story is FASCINATING. Phil May and Dick Taylor deserve way more credit in the press. Thank you very much for watching!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Sure!
Very good videos
Glad you like them! Thank you very much for watching!
I have this vinyl!!
A great vinyl to own, it's a work of art just for the cover alone. Thanks for watching!
❤great part IV video. Do you think they will ever release an official live album from the 75or 77 tours? Or is the sound quality not there.
I wonder why Houses of the Holy and the albums before didn’t switch to Swan Song labels like the Beatles and the Apple label
The reason i don't see a 1975 release comes down to Robert's voice thus he vetoing the material. Houses of the Holy was basically the last of a five album deal with Atlantic back in 1969 thus it wasn't released through Swan Song. Thank you very much for watching!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Storiesok but it was still Atlantic distribution.
EMI and Capitol changed to Apple at the time. Different agreements i guess
🌠OH YEAH !!! (GENE SIMMONS VOICE)
HAHAH YOU got it GREG! Thanks so much for watching, stay tuned for more!
Gene Simmons.................of KISS!
that first song sounds like Jeff Beck doing Led Zeppelin- very cool
Much appreciated ✌️ Edit: now I know precisely what wanton means.and the three fingered technique 😁
Hahahahah, you have insider knowledge! Thanks so much for watching!
Jimmy Page, RP and JPJ should hire you to be the bridge to the new generations.
I'd be honored to work with them. Admiration and respect for their work is the basis for this channel.
Zeppelin FOREVER!!!🥁☮☘
10:38. I've lived in Chicago my entire laugh and I'm a huge Blackhawks fan and love Bonham. If that is a Chicago Blackhawks jersey under Bonzo's coat, I would go nuts. I can't find anymore photos from this scene. Also, I love your channel. Thanks!
You have a VERY GOOD EYE. I checked a vintage Chicago Blackhawks 70s shirt and it looks similar except the neck haha. So maybe Bonham wore this !!! Here's a link to the shirt. www.ebay.com/itm/196130105996 and Bonzo's pic lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/Qmps2rzyW0NmbnyJPORNYpgS54mirLZqj1oKS6GhzI8jZOhEjTdC2rJ9NYIuKtIndPOHNFT-VD7s2rbH2YOOiv6HmhcleXR93GbxLN0ltBzEd1qCt8FznxM
Going to live shows you get to hear comments and announcements made by the singer and other band mates, its like getting lil' gold nuggets of info straight from the band.
When Robert mentions Phil Carson, it reminds of the time I actually met Phil Carson in a most accidental and remarkable meeting.
I want to share how fast things move in the music industry and especially with movers and shakers like Phil Carson, (Robert's"idol," as Robert mentions at the 23:37 mark).
Here's my personal story.
I am driving a classic convertible with the top down in the French Quarter in New Orleans, and I am at a stop light. On the corner standing next to me is the Phil Carson.
I look over and he is literally dancing and jamming to the music I am playing. He says to me while still dancing, "Who's that?" I tell him its a demo of my friend's band,
"Blue Max"
He says, "Really?" while smiling big. And I said "Really," smiling back.
Right then, real quick, he says,
"Tell them to come up to New York to see me, and I'll have a contract waiting for them."
I was STUNNED.
That was the Phil Carson saying that.
The band he heard "Blue Max" was musically akin to the band "UFO" featuring shredding with tone and versatility. (We already know UFO is the underated metal band of it's time.)
Blue Max's bassist was my brother's best friend, so that's how I had a cassette demo with me at the time.
So the stop light now turns green and I yell back,
"I sure WILL tell them."
I was SO psyched thinking how my friend and the bassiest Wes Howard, was going to get signed.
Well so I thought, it was a missed opportunity because the band," Blue Max" simply thought I was kidding with them and they would NOT fly to New York.
The band NEVER got signed.
It was a MISSED opportunity.
They had great talent as many bands do.
Phil Carson the great producer and ladies man, knew "IT" when he heard it.
Amazing story, and true.
It can happen anytime, anywhere.
Oh No, they missed a Phil Carson contract!!!!!! That's NOT COOL hehe. Thanks so much for sharing this GREAT story A.B. Always a pleasure to read your comments. Thank you very much for watching!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories the pleasure is all mine.
I love what you do 💕
I have that album of pink Floyd's wish you were here, the original cover with the flames on it. One of my prize albums.
There are some great bootlegs of their show in Vancouver from that tour, Canadian Crush
PEACE
LOVE
LED ZEPPELIN
It was said that Bonzo told Bad Company to act as gentlemen during their after-party when on the road because they were representatives of the Swan Song label... the irony lol😂😂😂
Boz Burrell of Bad Company on the 1999 VH1 Behind the Music said “John Bonham, the hooligan of England, had to tell us to behave (laughs) GREAT”. The 1999 airing had Zeppelin footage and played Whole Lotta Love and the remastered revised version removed the Zeppelin footage and Zeppelin music.
Wow they removed Zepp's music from their doc....geez. but well with Swan Song over i guess it was more licensing issues with Warner.
Seattle , San Diego , Dallas. All killer shows.
Another excellent finale! Can't wait for the eventual playlist of everything in chronological order from The New Yardbirds to Celebration Day! I do have a serious question I would love to hear your thoughts on... Why do so many album cuts fade out while the band is still jamming? Most of the time I really hate it, especially since they brought the song to a close in the studio. This is nowhere more painful than Kashmir, Ten Years Gone, and No Quarter. Why do you think they do this on so many iconic tracks? The live ending to Kashmir is sublime. Ten Years Gone starts fading just when they hit peak jam. Most of all, I want to hear about the dogs of doom howling low at full volume! Is there any universe where Jimmy Page could be convinced to release versions that don't fade out?
Great stuff. You should do some videos on Pink Floyd too.
Great job - another job well done Sir!
I appreciate that! Thanks for tuning in Thomas!
My dad went to the 03/30/1970 show. I wish I could find a recording of it.
Oh man, your DAD was at Civic Arena? That's incredible! Thanks so much for watching!
It’s fitting that I also got to see Page and Plant in the Civic Arena on 07/01/1998.
I think I mentioned this before but you should do a video on KASHMIRS best and worst performances. Could be interesting.
Definitely a great topic for a video. I want to discuss about the song a bit more in depth so it may well be the best episode to do so!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-StoriesNice. 🤙. And the page plant version I like as well. If you include it ha
I bought a Whiteboard to write down All these ideas!!!!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories excellent
Still remember all the 1975 soundboards dropping. And ordering therm at a fishy place in Tokyo. And sharing via BitTorrent.
That's so cool Pieter, i remember the soundboard frenzy, so much music to digest right? Thank you very much for watching!
Eric at Fish Heads International?
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Great video again, maybe the soundboards could be a future subject for a video. I had a reliable source who knew where they came from.
@@stevechisholm84 Yes, always a pleasure. Left some serious money there. Sold them all couple of years ago.
I underlying question I have is...at this stage of the Led Zeppelin mystic are the boys still out there having fun and want to keep that feeling going or is Led Zeppelin just a money maker.
At this time they already know they captured the pinnacle of being a great rock band ( or perhaps the greatest)
And the shows are now just a job?
I think the shows in 1975 were a complicated question for them. People think it was an easy "job" but no, this is when expectations and threats became real. Success is one of the most dangerous forces on this Planet because of what the enviroment can throw at you.
please return for the pagenplant era ❤
The 90s you mean? I did a whole series on the Post Led Zeppelin era. Now what i COULD do is a concert retrospective on one of the Page/Plant shows. Which one would you choose? Thank you very much for watching!
Thanks again dude! I can't understand why they played the Montreal Forum and not Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, where I live. If I'm not mistaken, they only played in Toronto twice: The Rock Pile (1969?) and MLG in '70 or '71(?). Any idea why? Toronto is quite a bit larger than Montreal and closer to the U.S. border. Weird!
This is a very good question. 1975 was a good year for Maple Leaf Gardens, heck YES and THE STONES played there man. Now i think Montreal Forum made more sense from a market coverage. Maybe they felt Toronto was too close to Olympia Stadium Detroit! What a goddamn cold winter that Great Storm of 75 was....and Robert wearing those blouses lol, no wonder his voice was hurt. Thank you very much for watching!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories Thank-you for your reply. Am I correct that they only played Toronto twice? I saw YES twice at MLG, Frank Zappa 3 times! And I was there for The Who in 1975 - the 1st concert I ever saw and I had no idea what I was witnessing! My ears are practically BLEEDING and my ear drums were swollen the next day! Loudest fucking thing I've ever heard! LOL!
Why was The Rover never adapted into the setlist?! That song would have been so great live!
1975 Robert couldn't reach the high notes unfortunately! Thanks for watching.
Jones and Bonham would remain the rock of the Zep stage show all the way from 1975 until the end in 1980. Bonham may have had his demons but his playing didn't decline. Changed? Yep, all musicians evolve and Bonham is no exception. Jonesy was always the most consistant player in the band. I know you don't like to discuss the bands lifestyle choices, but since "Hammer of the Gods" it has been an open secret that heavy drugs were a problem in the Zeppelin camp. You don't need to judge them over it, but it is something impacted the music and should be a part of the conversation.
Damn dude where did that Met Center rehearsal/soundcheck come from?
That is the actual show :) What a killer performance right? They did rehearse the day before. It really was a smart move considering the Cold Winter of early 1975
Another change in Jimmy a few years later was in his attitude which became distinctly ‘punky’ as evidenced in the 77 tour. He appeared to sacrifice guitar virtuosity for a more on stage ‘don’t give a f*** ‘ attitude . His ‘lifestyle choices’ may have had an influence here.
I think this should have been titled the “Physical Graffiti Tour”. What am I missing?
It's the fourth installment of the series. First three episodes discuss the making of the album provding the right context for their 1975 Tour. Thanks for watching!
✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Listen to Bonzo on the over hills solo Dallas march 4. I’d call that daring fills
I will check this, he played like a beast, ALWAYS, but there's a different economy of playing that he picked up from his jazz/funk peers.
I like how you put the scores up of the games Hhhahaahahh.
Hahaha thanks for noticing, that took some time to investigate, i was chuckling while at it. Felt like Unsolved Mysteries.
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Storiesvery cool
Prob my most listen to tour
Plant hits amazing high howl not heard since 72 @ Montreal show, also page is getting inspired that time frame. Listen to Montreal black dog and heartbreaker just amazing
Phili 2.8 heartbreaker amazing
2.13 page is great plant is blown out
These are some late Jan/early Feb shows where page healed up
But sadly plant was prob at his worst by mid Feb
March was a good rebound and run with 3.21 prob their best from the tour and one of their best if their career
First 4 songs are definitive, Kashmir, no quarter and heartbreaker just mind blowing
JPJ is the winner from 75. Amazing sound and playing, he and bonzo killed it
As far as substance i think the codine and Jack Daniels cocktail continued even with pages finger healing and lead to heroin in 76-83
Hey Derek i had a troubled relationship with this tour, but after this series i am looking forward to talk about single shows from 1975. I have a better understanding of it now and want to BRING IT to UA-cam :) Thank you very much for watching!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories great work as always. As a guitar player I see where you’re coming from, I like how you try to get into the mind of page. But I think the mind set for page in 75 was trying something new on guitar, he clearly could play it like he always has but maybe that was the problem. They played so many shows and were very consistent in many aspects letting him fly. 75 he seemed really try some different approaches to soloing, as usual some hit and misses. Also the finger played a part in that
But man when that finger started to heal it was great. Some inspired playing for sure.
He fully realized his 75 playing at earls court and as heard on BYS acoustic work was impeccable too.,
77 however, well yeah he had a touch of sleeping sickness, and even when he woke up we was erratic and seemed to play nonsense or just couldn’t play “it”. Losing some motor skills and by 79-83 could barely play Jimmy at all. Imop.
As plant asked at esrls court “is this our swan song I wonder” sadly it was
Give 3.21.75 a go. First 4 songs are definitive. Kashmir, No Q and heartbreaker. Page melts your face during HB.
Yes SBs are thin and dry but generally the 75 SB sound great.
Bold choice for page to play more cleanly in 75 but I love the tone because it’s honest and plays with the tone of the guitar more.
As you know the “woddiness” of the up position and his middle pos sound to me is 🔥
He really seemed like he wanted to explore that more in 75.
👍🏼👍🏼🎉🎉
Of course Page had many influences. He definitely "Borrowed" from many different Artists. Now, let's talk about musically applying those influences; all of us who are musicians are influenced at one point or another. Just like hearing Chris Squire in 1972 on Fragile; that sound impacted me for the rest of my life. And there are many more influences. With Jimmy Page, he is one of the best guitarists, ever. Top 5 for sure. Think of the millions of guitar players that were influenced by Jimmy. His chord structures, alternate tunings and solos were Unique to him. Why can't we just listen and enjoy the music that was produced by this incredible group. Led Zep was no fluke. Each of them; Page, Bonham and Jonesey were World Class, top of the food chain and then you sprinkle in Plant's amazing vocals. What they left behind is pure Treasure and it is not to be trifled with or analyzed. It's fair to mention where things may have been borrowed but we have no idea what was in their minds at the time. What I'm trying to say is that all of the incredible Artists and Groups that we grew up with should be given the benefit of the doubt.
Looking at the context for creation does not affect the listening process. This is the beauty of musicology. Now if we ignore history then we walk in dangerous terrains of blind adulation, and this is one of the big problems in today's world. The idea of inspiration is to understand THEY ARE HUMANS. This way, society could have a healthier vision in supporting each other. Thanks for watching!
There's an A note on physical graffiti that's very similar to an A note played on the 4th album... somewhere... not sure which track but I know I heard it
Might as well say In The Light has something to do with The Weight by The Band
🙄😛😂
ridiculous
The Weight does feature that descending harmony yes! But Nico's song.....is just mindblowing. The A note could be the Riff for Rock And Roll turned into Custard Pie? or Black Dog open A being the Open A in Ten Years Gone? Thanks so much for watching!
Sarcasm / Sarcasmo
😅
Wish I could have went awesome uh so lucky best. Ban ever in my life
Imagine what could have been if Robert Plant had Taylor Swift's vocal coach to help save his voice?
What was that version of Night Flight at the end of the video? It's very raw and has a much stronger feel than the over produced studio version. I think a bit of roughness would have saved that track. I also love the Page & Plant version I recently came across...it made me look at that song in a new light.
Lol....that's the Page Plant version...For a second it sounded like it was 1970s Plant.
That was a live version of Night Flight yes. Taken from Page and Plant's 1998 show at a London College gig. This version I LIKE VERY MUCH, it's just the high pitch vocals in PG that throw me off. Thank you very much for watching!
So this was the moment Robert lost his high register forever? Such a shame.
It wasn't this moment exactly but it further buried his high range. The exact moment for his demise happened at Led Zeppelin's 1973 show in Sheffield, UK in case you wanna check that out! Thank you for watching!
While I take your point about the number of tracks from PG that were included in the 1975 live set, these songs add up to well over 30 minutes of stage time and as they couldn’t realistically drop other numbers to create the space ( e.g. No Quarter or Moby Dick ) it would have resulted in a set list that lasted about 3h 15m before encores, which is asking way too much of the band tbh.
I didn't mean adding ALL of their remaining tracks but some of those Dazed and Confused's were not as inspired as say...1973 were it made sense not to feature any more new tracks you know? I'm glad they played In My Time of Dying, what a killer song live! Thanks so much for watching!
@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories It’s an incredibly well researched and presented program mate. You should be proud of the work you put in. I’m a 69 year old Zep Head who saw them live 4 times between 71 and 79 and you always bring out facts and features I knew nothing about. Keep doing what you do and take care out there. Best wishes from England 🏴.
Wow you saw them 4 times! That's insane. I pay close attention to the bootlegs and try to imagine myself there. Their live energy is second to none. Cheers all the way up there in the U.K!
