To Page and Plant Elvis was a mythical god. Page once said that the reason he picked up guitar was because he heard Elvis's "Baby lets Play House." The rest is Zeppistory.
@@darrylrogers2337 It's true. Jimmy said this in an interview. I think he shared a similar touching story about Elvis on social media. Almost everyone who liked rock and roll liked Elvis and to most people, he was the one who introduced them to this sort of music.
I heard the story that one night when Led Zeppelin was in the audience in Las Vegas, Elvis stopped a song and said they have to get it right because Led Zeppelin was in the audience! From what I've read, the meetings between Elvis and Zeppelin went well!
Very true. Those Zeppelin boys adored Elvis and always listed him among their early influences. They say never to meet your Heroes because people often end up being disappointed, but they said Elvis did not disappoint. He was a Class Act, humble, down to earth, funny, self-deprecating. They found him to also be an incredible knowledgeable student of music history... as they all sat around talking music shop. I know of many bluesmen back then, as well as country artists, gospel artists, and other rock artists, that spoke with Elvis and said the same thing. According to all of them the guy could have actually taught a musicologist course. And he was even flattering to the members of Led Zeppelin themselves, telling them that he actually listened to some of their songs and genuinely liked their music. "Stairway To Heaven" was Elvis's favorite he told them. He listened to it his turntable at Graceland, someone had brought their album over and turned Elvis on to them. Trying to imagine Elvis Presley rocking out to "Stairway" at Graceland.... Epic rock music folklore. And of course the Zeppelin boys did the same thing with Elvis's music at home.
It was in LA, not in Vegas. The year was 1974. That's a lot of videos of Robert talking about that meeting. Robert and Elvis sang "Love me" together on that night.
Great for Led Zeppelin to not be scared to say they like Elvis. It was David Stanley (Elvis's stepbrother) who was a big Zeppelin fan. Elvis agreed to meet them. They did meet Elvis and saw his shows. Interesting mix of how to sing Elvis songs when you are a "heavy" band. Well done Zeppelin!
I heard when he wanted that undercover badge Nixon gave him, he threw John N Paul under the bus saying that the long haired hippies the Beatles were trying to corrupt America, It hurt Paul's feelings I heard, cause they were like "E you're the reason I started playing music. I forgive Elvis, he really wanted that badge
" he really wanted that badge " is the key sentence, elvis indeed threw the beatles under the bus BUT he did it to suck up to the republican president by saying things a republican politician wanted to hear [ were all guilty of this behaviour one way or the other ]....by 1971 when E got the badge, the beatles were no more and no longer a force but in elvis,s sheltered life this was pretty much all elvis,s knew about popular culture by this stage in his life plus he was not all there in the head due to his drug addiction ...it was all about getting that badge, if beatles had to be the fall guys then so be it ....elvis wanted that badge and would do whatever it took to get it .
My favorite band giving major tribute to the King is a true definition of respect. God Bless Elvis and LZ for the beutiful class and styles that signifies Rock and Roll for future generations to come.
That story always gets me emotional cause Plant said when they did sing back and forth in a hotel corridor he couldn't hold back his tears. Who doesn't dream of having the chance to duet with Elvis, even if just in a hotel corridor...
There is an interview with Page and he tells the story about the time they met Elvis. He loved it. They talked about music for hours. Jimmy Page admired Elvis.
ELVIS and zepplin met, loads of stars visited elvis,elvis wasnt bothered,with celebs...but he enjoyed the company of ZEPPLIN,manlet due to elvis entourage at the time. 2 great stars
"Hot Dog" inspired after Zep met The King. Great story, great times and definitely great performers! Sadly those days are so long gone, so much pure talent back in the day!
There's a soundboard recording of Elvis introducing Zep in the audience of his LA Forum show in May 1974. It is just before he sings "funny how time slips away".
Don't knock the rock You're right....i have the two Elvis concerts in May 11;1974 in LA Forum(afternoon and evening)....is true....just before of the song ''funny how times slips away'' Elvis introducing Led Zeppelin....greetings from Chile-South America.
Led-Zeppelin were Huge fans of The King. And When they sold more Tickets then Elvis they wanted to know who was out selling their idole and It Turns it It Was Them LOL. They Meet Elvis And HAd a Private Show Performed for them b4 Elvis went to the Military. They Said it was a Dream Come True for them.
"You're So Square" only song known that Elvis played bass on ('57 Fender Precision). He played guitar or piano on some songs. Elvis never wrote even one song.
When JPJ figures out the key in King creole just in time for the solo, and then Robert goes hukaHukaHuka, is one of the most satisfying moments in music
Extraordinario! Con la humildad de los grandes, a diferencia de otras bandas... Fantastic! Unlike other "minor" bands they show themselves as great Elvis fans...
At 3:57 I've read this is a sound check for the Southampton , Old Book Refectory , show on January 22nd 1973 . This was recorded January 21st. , Bonham sings along with Plant . Released on CD as Elvis Has Left the Building .
Wrong! Boobie Holly merely covered it! It's Leiber Stoller who wrote it for Elvis's movie Jailhouse rock! Make Sure it's right before you claim stuffs! In this instance it's is a trivial mistake but in life it will save you from many mistakes to not trust people's words so blindly!!
It's hilarious that boobie Holly fans made up the lie that he wrote this song and spread it as if it were true even today they sustain the lie that he wrote baby I don't care originally recorded by Elvis which Leiber & Stoller wrote! Boobie Holly merely covered it.
Did many other bands, good bands in themselves, really despise Led Zeppelin because of Zeppelin's overall popularity? I've heard that and read that and heard a few members of other popular bands say that. Just wondering.
He wasn't blonde. That's just ridiculous to think that he had blonde hair. Elvis was born with lighter brown hair. Want blonde? Well...look at Robert Plant.
Go watch Follow That Dream. That's Elvis true hairolor. He didn't dye it for the movie purposely because he was actually plAying a part instead of playing Elvis with props around. Lolc
Not really 🙄 Song written by Leiber and Stoller for Elvis movie Jailhouse Rock in 1957. If I'm not wrong Buddy recordered it the following year and many others after him, including Led Zeppelin, Beatles and Queen 😁
Elvis never recorded a song by buddy holly you bleeding ignorant! Buddy holly covered Elvis! If you re gonna correct then make sure you are right because you're not on this one!!

Elvis opened up the field...
actually Elv is rock

There’s a video here on UA-cam with the audio from that evening. You should listen to it
It was at the LA Forum, but it's a true story.
true, it was in 1974, i heard that after, bonzo switched his pants with elvis
It was in LA, not in Vegas. The year was 1974. That's a lot of videos of Robert talking about that meeting. Robert and Elvis sang "Love me" together on that night.
saw Elvis live in '75...still the king
I would have loved to have seen Elvis Presley and led Zeppelin perform together on television that would have been something
I'm surprized at how well Robert plant does the young Elvis. I didn't think he could sing that low. Awsome.
MrMattRocker He could sing lower and much higher from the years of 1966 to 1972 but this recording is from 1975
I can sing like ELvis way better
"Fool In The Rain" "Hot Dog" off ITTOD Robert is heavily influenced by Elvis...I would argue that "D'yer Mak'er" and "Going to California" do as well.
and Honey Drippers Sea of Love for sure!
Robert adores Elvis
Mr P was a dear friend of my Mom. He was so kind, had a BIG heart

they needed to be under the bus
@@danmaltby3271 The guys who were there said that was another in a long string
Of untruths told about Elvis Presley.
Zeppelins 50's covers were all amazing. I love their rearrangement of Eddie Cochran as well.
Yeah, I like their Eddie Cochran better than their Elvis.
My favorite band giving major tribute to the King is a true definition of respect. God Bless Elvis and LZ for the beutiful class and styles that signifies Rock and Roll for future generations to come.
Elvis and Plant sang Love Me back and forth to each other.
That story always gets me emotional cause Plant said when they did sing back and forth in a hotel corridor he couldn't hold back his tears. Who doesn't dream of having the chance to duet with Elvis, even if just in a hotel corridor...
They all just so so beautiful..................
Without a doubt the best Rock'n'Roll band from the 70's ... Long live the King of Rock Elvis Presley!
Leonardo , I couldn't agree more with your comment man
Led Zeppelin is the best rock band ever and Elvis was the best solo performer ever.
There is an interview with Page and he tells the story about the time they met Elvis. He loved it. They talked about music for hours.

Outstanding...Beatles Stones Zep.....most influential groups all time...all loved the Kings music
Remmey97 Lindsey Buckingham is an extreme fan as well.
ive never read jagger saying anything nice aboutelvis, but ronnie bill and keith were fsns of the early elvis,
That's amazing. I've always felt that there was plenty of Elvis in led zeppelin
"Hot Dog" inspired after Zep met The King. Great story, great times and definitely great performers! Sadly those days are so long gone, so much pure talent back in the day!
This is great, Led Zeppelin doing Elvis, I like both!

HOLY SHIT, I never heard this before! And I thought I had all of Zeppelin's music.
led zeppelin love Elvis.
That's awesome!!!!!
"You're So Square" only song known that Elvis played bass on ('57 Fender Precision). He played guitar or piano on some songs. Elvis never wrote even one song.
Elvis should have jammed with Led Zeppelin.
Elvis Presley and Led Zeppelin (Simply Amazing)
When JPJ figures out the key in King creole just in time for the solo, and then Robert goes hukaHukaHuka, is one of the most satisfying moments in music
These here I believe are soundchecks, where Zep did a lot of Elvis stuff. They did his stuff live a lot, but even more during soundchecks.
If this would have been an Elvis impersonater contest, Led Zep (with Plant and Bonzo on vocals) would have won hands down !
The 4 winds of Thor , the hammer of the Gods - Led Zeppelin !
EVERYONE wants to be ELVIS even Led Zeppelin!
just to be like him
Wholly shit....HELL YEAH!!!. Thank you for uploading this :). My 2017 is off to a great start.
Amazing pieces, and fantastic pics you displayed on the vid ! Thanks so very much, Diplurus !

There is a whole sound check they did 50’s songs. This is the music that inspired them
I love this version holy shit
Simply wonderful
EVERYBOD LOVES ELVIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is "Heartbreak Hotel" Robert's voice on that was beautiful
Listen to that rhythm section! DAMN!
Great recording. I'm recording the 1st 2 songs later this year, but Let's Have A Party is my next one. I'm an old rocker from the 70's and 80's.
Love the Love Me
Wow I want a copy, he should have finished.
That deep voice is to much .
Sometime in 1980 they sang a bit of Marie's the Name, if I'm not mistaken.
Elvis is god of r&r....zeppelins loved!!!
Génial , bon son , robert et jimmy sont au top
Fantastic.
Wow love this!!
bohnam really hammers it

Of course there's also That's Alright Mama and Mess of Blues, from the BBC Sessions.
I didn't ever know Led Zeppelin is so damn fucking Good!? Lol
Wow!
They also do Young and Beautiful
5.30 in it's worth the wait.
5:30
super fã de Elvis
FRANCISCO FERREIRA I'm too.
Come on all long hairs and heavy metals. It's time to Mr. Presley!
Elvis went into the military in the late 50s. Zeplin weren't a band until the 70s, so....yeah, they didn't get a concert from him pre-military.
The first song is by Buddy Holly
Wrong! Boobie Holly merely covered it! It's Leiber Stoller who wrote it for Elvis's movie Jailhouse rock! Make Sure it's right before you claim stuffs! In this instance it's is a trivial mistake but in life it will save you from many mistakes to not trust people's words so blindly!!

From 1973 which is post-1971 and pre-1975.
@zzy66613
The first half of this video is called "Unauthorized Stairway To Heaven Vol.4" by Banana.
I'm sorry, but I don't know about the second half.
SICK!!!
7:17 What is the name of this song? Or is it improvised?
King Creole ❤️
@@helenecinesysteme7380 Thanks💓
Baby, I don't care (1957).
They sounded like they were rockin' in the grain a wee bit
Let's Have a Party
@OddManOut13 yes..much Elvis!!
To my ear I hear a tone in Roberts voice that Elvis has and it's what made them both entertainers
Sweeeeeeeet!
I'm japanese ELVIS fan.Do you know the date it was recorded?
Some of these are from live January 21 1973..

Bonzo put em all to shame.
Cool Studio Tracks. What are these from?
check the description. It gives a list.
WHAT YEAR IS IT?
❤️❤️❤️
😍💯💃💞
COOL
I like
Does anyone know from which shows these all were?
Did many other bands, good bands in themselves, really despise Led Zeppelin because of Zeppelin's overall popularity? I've heard that and read that and heard a few members of other popular bands say that. Just wondering.
What show is "Baby I Don't Care" from?
They covered it frequently on the 72-73 tours. Usually as part of the "Whole Lotta Love" medley. A version appears on "How The West Was Won"
Jailhouse Rock
I think Bonzo could have been a pretty good singer . He had a raspy blues voice, RP said he was a very Good singer
This all took me as an ... well.. seasoned adult..lol. But Danzig is doing an album. I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE COULD DO ELVIS AS WELL.
LOL
I love hearing Bon in the background laughing
what show is that youre so square from??
anyone know the name of these songs?
“ Bonham “ that’s all I’ve got to say
2:44
Robert plant is a blonde Elvis!
He wasn't blonde. That's just ridiculous to think that he had blonde hair. Elvis was born with lighter brown hair. Want blonde? Well...look at Robert Plant.
Elvis had natural blonde, or dirty blonde hair at the beginning!!!!!

I think this is good
Bootleg tape?

Hey Diplurus - what show is this from?
ok Zep I can deal with - they make anything sexy - even songs I'd rather hear as the originals
Buddy Holly wrote You're So Square.. Not Elvis..
No one claime otherwise
