The song is a rework of the 1929 original release by Kansas Joe Mccoy and Memphis Minnie about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927; the most destructive river flooding in U.S. history.
“It seems that little has changed since 1927, or even 2005 with Katrina. It’s still a really powerful track, both musically and lyrically.”- John Paul Jones
Legendary multi-instrumentalist, John Paul Jones, is accompanied by Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction, Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks and over 20 musicians and dancers from seven different countries, in this Song Around The World version featured in Peace Through Music: A Global Event for the Environment.
Feel the impact of these compelling lyrics and let the music move your spirit!
"When The Levee Breaks" was written by John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Kansas Joe Mccoy, Memphis Minnie, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant

The more I hear this track, the less I can resist commenting. I mean, J. P. J., what can one say.? Genius, Maestro.? All the players are magnificent, - - standouts, - - Buffalo Nichols, Tedeschi / Trucks, Sebastian Robertson, Stephen Perkins, the maniac on drums, - - perfect.!! Which brings me to the beautiful Mihirangi, one of our very own Wahine Toa ( Google it.). As a Kiwi, I was already familiar with her work, but this piece just took my breath away.!! Go to " Peace Through Music, A Global Event For The Environment " to hear her incredible talk on the Whanganui River. Heart wrenching stuff, !! P. F. C. is truly the greatest force for peace in the world today. Al Peach, Aotearoa N.Z.
@@alpeach9480 yes!! It's awesome he's awesome 👏🏻 💯👌🏻✌️👋👋
@@alpeach9480 i
Listen almost everyday 👍🏽✌️💯
@@alpeach9480 Thankyou for your comment smiling huge!!! Have a wonderful day
John Paul Jones never cared about the spotlight. But his presence is always known~
@Blackie BMW Motorwerks your comment really has left me a little dazed. And confused.
He played more instruments then the bass and organs when he was in led zeppelin he also helped Jimmy on acoustic guitar and he played the played the mandolin on a led zeppelin song
He would also leave the hotel alone to explore the city. JPJ is a pretty chill guy.
@@norms3913 I thought Jimmy played the mandolin? But certainly agreed I think he’s probably the most classically trained musician out of the bunch and incredibly talented on a variety of instruments
@@smallcheddar3012 Jimmy played mandolin on Evermore but everything else is JPJ
Susan Tedeschi's singing here raises the hair on my body!
Lord, have mercy!
her husband played the guitar Derritt Tuck, I know I misspelled.
Me too. Goosebumps
@@johnj9267 Derek Trucks and yes that's Butch Trucks of the Allman Brothers fame's nephew.
Really? She's just yelling. Got no tone, no vibrato, no soul at all.
This man was the backbone of Led Zeppelin, creative genius and truly nice person.
I think that was sarcasm.
Not at all.
@kskssxoxskskss2189 this dude is truly one of a kind.
NO. The backbone of the band was Bonzo, and everyone agreed on that. That's why the band broke up after his death.
@@thorfornad though this is an exceptionally nice rendition of a masterpiece, it's just 'different' without Bonzo. He was, indeed, the backbone of Led Zep.
That lady from New Zealand sent shivers !
First time I heard Stairway was at that beach!
And here outfit was badass!
Mihirangi❤️😍
The musicians are all incredible but the people that mixed and engineered it are geniuses.
So hard to get that good of a mix! I’d love to be a fly on the wall watching that magic!
Very true!
The deer.
Yes Yes yes
Sorry, not feeling it at all
John Paul Jones is one of the greatest bass players and all round rock minds ever. He never gets enough credit. His bass parts are the drive, swing, and funk behind countless zep records.
A great classical composer as well. I can't imagine Kashmir without his orchestration.
And as cool af as always
No doubt, without Jones you don't get the Zep sound.
This is a kick-ass version that surpasses my favorite, the original by Kansas City Joe and Memphis Minnie and even the Zeppelin remake. John played bass in the Shadows, but beginning in 1964, he began studio work for Decca and found himself arranging and conducting session work for various English artists and bands we all are familiar with. Took up piano at 6 taught by his father, who was an arranger for a big band, apparently this early mixture of music served him well when joining Led Zeppelin. I know everyone heaps praise on Jimmy Page and rightfully so, but Jimmy wouldn't have had the success or longevity (he was also an in demand session guitarist) as anyone who has ever played in a band, knows it takes every musician to make the band. John's contributions to Zeppelin are often overlooked. Great job here, John!
YOUR ABSOLUTELY CORRECT HE NOT ONLY BASS BUT KILLER KEYBOARD AND MANDOLIN. ACUTELY SANG AND SPOKE ON A FEW. Like whers the confounding bridge and talking in the beginning of the ocean ? Mandolin on going to California and the BATTEL FOR EVERMORE
Derek Trucks with absolutely the most tasteful and beautiful slide guitar solo! Killed it!
He owns the slide, bar none
Groomed by The Allmans. Tough to go wrong.
He is amazing, and so is his wife! They are so great live.
@@randykenezone447yep!
Stands out amongst the others
I bet Justin Johnson could have kicked it too....
How the songs of this great band and John Paul Jones himself can bring the world together and tears to my eyes.
I've read at least 1 million youtube comments about "underrated" bands, singers, musicians, etc. But there simply is no human being more underrated than John Paul Jones.
He played: Bass guitar, guitar, recorder, koto, lap steel guitar, autoharp, ukulele, clavinet, sitar, keyboards, keytar, mandolin, cello, harp, chitarrone, lirone, viola da gamba and percussion
He sang vocals in the greatest rock band in history. He's a composer, and has been in 9 movies/vid's. He has been an active musician for almost 60 YEARS.
I say again: There simply is no human being more underrated than John Paul Jones. Period.
I would say more, his solo disks more interesting,then uthers Zep,s member s.
Gotta agree even though it's so strange saying that about a member of Zeppelin.
Mate I suggest you look up what the word “underrated” means. Because JPJ is very highly rated by anyone who knows anything about music. He isn’t underrated at all, you goose
@@tylerdurden5122 I'd say he's not talked about enough in the music world. Dude is such a phenominal professional player. I feel he's always deserved more credit. I think that's the meaning of the message.
Nailed it... . He does his thing... he has no desire to be Robert plant... watch his blues stuff... holy crap... he doesn't need validation from me... all I can do as old fat guy is thank you
JPJ is still a Bass God ... GOAT. And all the other musicians here are too; simply awesome, this. Thank you all.
My first concert was Led Zep, Song Remains the Same movie tour at MSG. Could not hear right for three days, could not talk for two. But one of the best concerts Ive seen, and Ive seen hundreds.
Entwistle is GOAT
There are many GOATS bassists, depending on style. JPJ, Entwistle, Geddy Lee, the late Cliff Burton and many others, my personal fav as a metalhead is Burton. But I love the styles of the others mentioned and call them GOAT too
The only thing this fucken video lacks is ChewbaccaMom ❤️. Next time
@@franklaferriere5754 I cannot believe that in those listings the name Jack Bruce does not appear. He was Cream for a reason.
“Crying won’t help you , prayer won’t do you no good”. One of the greatest lines I have ever heard.
I would like your comment but you're at "42"...
And how did they know the levee was gonna break in Chicago? The corrupt City of Chicago knew about those problems long ago and they let it break
@@markberman6708 🤣😆😎
You have nonidea😢
I met John Paul Jones in a bar in Long Beach. He was on holiday with Wife and son, real cool guy. Had a few Heineken's and talked about Rock & Roll.
That is a great story! We're happy to hear more.
One of those encounters you’ll never forget. I worked in the music business for years. Met many a legend. After a while you realize they’re all just mortals like the rest of us. But meeting JPJ? I’d be a nervous wreck, afraid of going fanboy and making an ass of myself.
Dear Penthouse...... My dreams are different than yours .
Heinekens ? Nothing better ?
Must have been a different JPJ as he doesn't have a son...3 daughters lol
Blown away. The sonic addition of the Maori lady and the Norwegian singer was just extreme. Takes this song we all know, to a whole different place, and sinks the message in that much more.
JPJ is currently in a band with the Norwegian singer. I"m sure it was him that suggested bringing her in.
That bassist John Paul Jones is really good, he should join a band he’d make it big
😆
Someday ...maybe when he's old enough.
Classic
LOLOLOL!!!
Ah, they'd probably go down like a led zeppelin ...
Wow!!! Just Wow!!! ... and that Harmonica... he caught the very Soul of this classic and just blew it back down from the heavens. ❤
OUTRAGEOUS piece!!!
Every single musician is burning hot, and brought it together in a most beautiful way!
Susan and Derek we're perfect for this. Whoever booked this did a fantastic job.
Mate whoever picks the artists for each part is bloody awesome. Just nails it
Yeah, Derek was killing it on the slide guitar!
John Paul Jones & Stephen Perkins….that’s a beyond solid rhythm section…
Right? JPJ and Grohl. And of course, Bonham 🍻
Matthew, JPJ and Grohl were in Them Crooked Vultures together.
Until he breaks mallet...lol
what amp is John Paul Jones using?
does anyone know?
The women and the rhythm section first
that woman from New Zealand has an amazingly beautiful voice
Seeing the world play the same song .. brought tears to my eyes... So easy to get along with each other.. Come on people
Me too! Im bawling my eyes out! At 11, this was my favorite song!
Talk to pooty...
It’s that simple? @@rodturner6759
I hope you have followed in to listen/watch more of PFC song list. The first song I heard was 'Stand by Me' (the song that got them started) & I love the message & how they are trying to spread it. More recognition & suggestions in the algorithm please UA-cam
I feel you brother!
For those who do not get goosebumps from this piece of music, there is no musical hope for them.
yes
@@JOHNJDEG420 still prefer robert plant
Dude... this restores my faith in humanity... watching it again real soon!
Goosebumps? Scuse me while I blow my nose! 😊
So true, one of the most powerful songs I can think of!!!
Memphis Minnie wrote this song, died penniless and unknown, I imagine she is heaven smiling at the thought of so many millions simply enjoying her genius
I'm a big fan of Zeppelin since I'm a teenager, so when I found out this song from their IV album was a remake, felt something strange: how could their best song in the album (with Stairway to Heaven and Black Dog at the same fucking release), perhaps best track from all albums, be kinda a cover... Older, I also found out that in the 9th Beethoven's Symphony, on it's most famous section "Ode an die Freund" is a kinda cover, also - the great Master has made the music over a Schiller's poem. So state that When the Levee breaks is the "Ode an die Freund" from Led Zeppelin is a compliment indeed.
@@renatofabiano2879I enjoy reading Led Zeppelin and Beethoven in the same comment it makes me dare say they are my favorite musicians over all the others!
Thank you for telling me. GOD bless her soul.
@@renatofabiano2879 Led Zep "borrowed" a great deal of classic blues tunes, especially in their earlier albums. Sometimes they acknowledged the original, sometimes they just said "Traditional, arranged by Plant and Page".
I had to look that up as well ...I mean what would a group of British dudes know about a levy breaking?
Mihirangi…WOW what pipes!!!
Zeppelin was a very rare moment. Four individual genius and virtuosos in his own paths. And with gigantic chemistry as a team. Even Beatles wasn't so balanced individually and as a team.
agree.
4 individuals that can take great songs like one from the original Blues artist, and make themselves legends and millionaires in the process. Cool.
@@viaromabandit5051 troll.
@viaromabandit5051 it's all good,you go listen to whatever it is your rambling about,unoriginal or not they sucked until Led Zeppelin got ahold of it.
Derek Trucks is one of the greatest guitarists alive today.
ua-cam.com/video/c3X0LzzUxAU/v-deo.html
Certainly the greatest slide guitarist....probably ever. He's a virtuoso.
His wife sure can sing, also.
Him and Duane Allman
Are you kidding?
JPJ is truly a living legend. IMO he's the most underrated musician in the history of rock and roll. Respect
Without a doubt. Was just as good on guitar as Page, could play a dozen instruments and was an amazing songwriter. The quiet knight.
AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THOSE IN THE KNOW KNOW.....
@@oldmaninavan3592 Yes! I alawys felt if he wanted to outshine Page he could.
Certainly under rated as a bass player.
Not underated in the least! He's an awesome musician of many instruments, and one of the greatest bass players in Rock music.
Stephen did this song justice in ways that would make John Bonham himself proud. The sound of the drims, the feel, the right sized drums. Brilliant x 10.
Whhooooo Nelllie!!!
What a presentation!
Thanks to everyone that participated.
Jeezuss..... when Mihirangi from New Zealand kicked in, it was a near spiritual experience...chills city... I got goosebumps man. How does a Kiwi channel the blues that well? Jimmy Page is loving this, without a doubt.
The Blues are universal!
No kidding. She's a real show stealing powerhouse. And not in a bad way.
Same! I was NOT prepared for that!
Instant goosebumps!
Why would it be any different for a New Zealander than it was for a British guy?
@@devinbret It is't - as we can see and hear :)
Mr. John Paul Jones is the most underappreciated figure in all of music. Few have ever had the level of musical vision that he's been able to achieve throughout his career. And he continues to do so while being content to surround himself with talented people, and take a very low-key and humble role himself. Thank you for this Mr. Jones!
Not underappreciated by Zeppophiles. He is just the Zeppelin George!
I really hate how the word "under-appreciated" is tossed around these days --- JPJ was NEVER under-appreciated by anyone who grew up with Led Zep as the soundtrack to their youth! He's also highly respected by every good musician who came on the scene in the past 40 years! JPJ is one of the "gods of rock" and will never be minimized in rock history.
@@tommitchell7294 totally agree, just like the word legend or star is thrown around. To me, there are only a handful of real music legends around. My yardstick is Sir Paul, if you can come very close to him you are a legend, Paul is Royalty.
@@markhill9275 --- it just really irritates me to see words like "legend" and "icon" tossed around so much --- NOBODY who grew up in the 70s, 80s, or 90s under-appreciated Jonesy and his contributions to rock history --- he's one of the gods!
@@tommitchell7294 so with you on this.
The ultimate bass player....John Paul Jones. The best.
I listened to this out of curiosity when it popped up in my feed. As someone whose been listening to JPJ since 1969, I expected nothing less than the best, and in typical fashion he delivered. What a phenomenal group of musicians assembled from around the globe, including indigenous artists from around the world. To see the inclusion of their names and countries was awesome. A classic in any decade or century! ❤
Susan Tedeschi is such a stellar, class act.
What a great singer she is. Amazing.
I love her! Great Voice!
i imagine everyone who goes to her concerts turns up in a massively oversized diesel truck and at the end of the night a giant black cloud hangs above the car park
Mind blown. This has to be the best version of this tune ever. Just the combo of John Paul Jones and Derek Trucks in the same band? Unreal. This was tremendous! All the musicians here were part of something transcendental. These collabs are proof that music is bigger than us all, but it unites us into something bigger than ourselves. Bravissimo!
Nope, LZ is better but this is a great effort.
@@rjpg Nope, Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy is better, but Zeppelin give it a great effort.
@@da324 Those versions sound almost nothing like Zeppelin's version. Apples and oranges. It's like comparing Jake Holmes's "Dazed and Confused" with Zeppelin's.
what amp is John Paul Jones using?
does anyone know?
@@gummiesrule88 I was just mocking the guy because of his response. Of course the versions sound nothing alike, and contrary to my post; I prefer Zeppelin's.
My only regret, is that I have but one thumbs up to give.
here's one of mine to help
Music will and only music will connect the universe and save the world if anything will ❤.
First heard the song during my tour of duty in Vietnam during the Monsoon Season! How prophetic 4 months of rain and the levees did break! Still alive though today! Thank the Lord 🙏Amen
Thank you for your service.
+1 there Brother
thank you for coming home
God bless you and thank you for your service 🤘🏼
@@I7435IC 0 2:09
The whole track is incredible but as soon as Susan Tedeschi starts singing it takes it up to a new level.
I was wondering if it was just me...
@@brianisaac1575it’s not just you.
Word
Keep on Trucking!
There are no words to do this justice....... I would say phenomenal but it doesn't even come close.
So true
WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS VIDEO that moves me to tears? So many things I cannot understand. My heartfelt gratitude to all of you who made this possible.
I’m completely blown away, what an amazing performance by all! Thank you to all of the talented artists for this masterpiece 👏👏👏
Most of Playing For Change's covers are in the "pretty good" to "really good" range, but every once in a while you'll get one that is just mind-blowing. This is one of those. Truly on another level.
Yes they did a good cover, but the real satisfaction is in the original
HIGHEST Level
Man its true but when they nail it they NAIL IT. This was one of them and recently Oye Como Va by Santana. It was better than I expected
@@mjm290853 The Memphis Minnie version? Her guitar playing was incredible, and a credit to Jimmy Page for having the ear to pick up on her genius, and the imagination to re-intepret it
Incredible
This is one hard hitting tune. That beautiful indigenous woman’s voice gave me goose bumps.
me too, it truly made it!
Mate she is absolutely magnificent
I'm a 68 year old man and she brought me to tears. Most Playing For Change songs do that to me because of their beauty or joy so I expect it lol.
It was nasty & I winced when I heard it. Did not work at all. This channel is hilarious.
@@MrShadowfax42 trolls are such pathetic creatures. Don't try to goad me into an argument either because you aren't hilarious at all.
Yet again, wishing for the most volume, huge speakers and amp and in a field miles from anyone!!
Say what you want…Led Zeppelin was indeed one of the greatest rock bands ever…John Paul Jones was without a doubt the most talented members of that super group.
jon bonham was wayyyyy better dude. the fact that he could play drum solos for 15-30 minutes while the rest of his band took breaks to go do drugs is incredible
@@scottthedelinquent JPJ played multiple. why be great at one when you can play multiple instruments and can bring more diversity into the sound than any of the other band members.
Led Zeppelin much more than a legend ❤
No question about JPJ👍
He was multiple members of Zep?
The older I get the more I love led Zeppelin s music!
Hear, hear.
I truly do hope you realize this is not “Led Zeppelin’s music”. They just covered this really great old blues tune - and very well, I might add. One of my favorite covers, but this song was originally recorded in 1929. Google the history. It’s really interesting and I think you will enjoy it! It also, well for me anyway, makes me appreciate and respect the history of Led Zeppelin, too. 😎
@@TheBluesBirdhave you actually listened to the 1929 version? It doesn't sound much like this at all. It doesn't have any of the feeling. It really isn't even 50% the same song. It's about the same as Ozzy's "Shot in the Dark" and Wildlife's. Really, barely the same song. Barely.
That's funny. The older I got the more I realized led zeppelin are hucksters
I've turned on several younger people (I'm 67 in November) to their music. Last year I played LZII, which my grown son (40-something) had never really sat down and listened to. Epic, to say the least. Not many bands in my library are like this; Where you re-listen over the years and continue to hear new "things" in the songs. Undiscovered nuances, and the like. All of the minute details in the playing and engineering are why I let myself be so disappointed when I saw them the only time on stage in 1977 on the LSU campus in Baton Rouge. I wasn't mature enough to understand the complexities of such a live performance as theirs and was not prepared in any way to appreciate their stage presence as much as I could have; As much as I should have. They were, however, the ultimate in cool for the day. Long live the music, and long live youthful dreams and visions. Hell, "Long Live Rock".
OMG! If that doesn’t win a Grammy for best arrangement there is no justice in the world.
Grammy's are a popularity contest. Don't hold your breath.
Grammy's seem to take a big smelly shit on true rock icons like Jonesy --- just look at how they treated the tribute to Eddie Van Halen after he died --- disgraceful
That would be great (we can dream).
@Ronald williams ...i agree with you...
💯
Theres not a better slide guitar player alive than Derek Trucks. I'm glad he was in on this.
His wife is in too.
Justin Johnson can give him a run for his money.
Luther Dickinson...?
youtube is still keeping Johnny Winter alive in my ears, but
yes
Wow Mihirangi! She killed it. What a set of pipes!!!
When Susan T. tells you crying wont help you, praying wont do you no good, you have really bottomed out!! Great rendition. Thank you all!!!!
lol - that's gold !
She smashed it - they all did !
Just Brilliant.
Facts!
Is that what she said? I disagree...
🌺 PRAYING IS ** EVERYTHING** 🌺
"For the eyes of Jehovah are roving about through all the earth to show his strength in behalf of those whose heart is complete toward him."
@Noel Deal - does this Jehovah fulla also look out for the ordinary person ? Or 'just' those that 'worship' 'him' or are lookin his way, or whatever conditions he's puttin on his love ..... ?
@@noeldeal8087 The song means if you are in a flood, get out. If you stand in the way thinking your prayers are going to stop the flood then you don't know wisdom.
With all thy getting, get wisdom for it is the principal thing.
Oh... my... GOD!!! It's very rarely that I'm so moved by a piece of music any more. 30 seconds in, I was already vibrating at a higher level, but when Mihirangi hit that first note, I completely transcended space-time. By the end, my face was covered with the tears of pure ecstasy. If this doesn't move your soul, you don't have one.
Was it not perfection? Buffalo Nichols had me buzzing with that Delta growl, and then Mihirangi just blew my head right off my shoulders! And then Susan comes in with that haunting, low, smoky voice and I was dead!
wow. so well said. I had the same reaction! tears of joy.
same to me, a music nirvana moment

Grow up little boy and stop taking our Creator's name in vain!

Love Derek Trucks guitar playing in this. Not only is he a great guitar player he's a great human being.
John Paul Jones, Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeshi....How could it not be a great version.🍄🍄🍑
Playing for Change is one of the most wonderful things in the world today. Thank you all!
No kidding!! 😍👌
Indeed and most worthy our support
I could not have said it any better myself.
You nailed it right on the drum kit, the bass guitar, the amazing voices, tje harmonica and the harmony we all need. Hey Putin...War! Hunh, what is it good for? Absolutely nuthin.
Beats praying
That was BY FAR the BEST Playing for Change number ever. The harp guys TORE IT UP! JPJ Is The Man. Susan Tedeschi? What a pull Guys Who Put This Together👏👏👏👏👏
Susan Tedeschi? Is married to Derek Trucks that you see here as well. They both broke out as teens in the 90's. 2012 GRAMMY for Blues Album of the year REVELATOR and Derek's lifetime achievement Grammy. Huge catelog, known as best jam band ever. Here's 1 of my faves from Tedeschi Trucks Band "BOUND FOR GLORY" ua-cam.com/video/epAGY4hdQG8/v-deo.html
Sweet!
One note from the bass and it's all there again, incredible.
Music is the best medicine we share.
What a performance here.
Music kept me alive, and still does. Give me good music and I need just half of my medicines. 🤭

With his original '62 Jazz Bass, Awesome !

@Ronald williams Yeah, but JPJ is bloody Led Zeppelin.

@@RCAvhstape This is not original. It's a replica he got from Fender. In a video class he talks about
There'll never be such band as Led Zeppelin again! Regards from Bulgaria!
From Germany too. 😁
Yep! Greetings from Beckenham, near Sidcup where JPJ is from. But he's John Baldwin.... JPJ was 1st US Navy Admiral, I've found out. "Goin' down now, goin' down..."
Hi from Florida, USA!!!
This makes me realize how insanely amazing the original is.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS VIDEO that moves me to tears? So many things I cannot understand. My heartfelt gratitude to all of you who made this possible.
It's the truth and innocence that we live in in our society
I must have watched this 100 times now and it just doesn't get old. Susan Tedeschi really nails it. ...but then they all do.
Laughing till I cry! Laughing till I cry! Laughing till I cry!
Melodia..para..tudo..
I have watched it at least that many times too. I love it so much!
Same here!!!
Me personally..........I'm on number 4-5

That bass Jones is playing looks so HUGE! IMHO it that image alone adds a classic quality to this great, great version!
Layers of instruments ebbing and flowing, humans from disparate background coming together, communicating in the language of music. Playing for Change at its finest.
Stunned and floored..this song just hits you at the core...Listened to this for the first time this morning and I must have played this 10-15 times today...the singers, the vocals, the musicians kill it! Soulful with an amazing edge.
Me too, and I've been singing it all day. I never thought this Zep song could have a cover equal to the the Zep original on IV. My favorite parts are Jones' bass, Mihirangi's powerful voice (and look) . . . and Derek Trucks amazing slide guitar. So awesome.
This song resonates with me today still- I first heard it way back in the early eighties.
First time for this version or first time period?
Superb masterpiece of an arrangement. A song for these times.
Agreed, this Mihirangi is great ! Played it over & over !
Didn’t know what to expect. Just floored.
Indigenous people from other parts of the world, playing their hearts out, really drives home the message.
Was raised in the 70’s and this song is part of the DNA
Floored is apt. Enthralled. Gobsmacked. Pick ‘em
I still come back to this video. I've been able to refer friends n family. All loved this collection of global artists and their talents. ,such a great time!
Yes I've turned many onto playing for change 😊
Tedeschi ? "Going Down, Going Down Now" !
Thank you Led Zeppelin (JPJ) for the moments you made in my life
Vietnam vet that was in high school, when Led Zep 1 came out and it it simply ripped my mind !
Brilliant
Let me give a HUGE shoutout to the NZ gals that absolutely ripped the top off it !
Such a collaboration ?
Deep thoughts for the folks in Libya that literally dealt with the "Levee Breaking"
RIP to all those that passed/drowned
Growing up in the 60's and 70's, this song is part of my DNA. To hear it revisited in such a vital, vibrant way gives me goosebumps and I'm not crying, you're crying.
Older people may have said the same thing about Led Zeppelins cover of Kansas Joe McCoy's original from 1929.
@@Fogel70 Agreed, but I know blues purists who scoff at Led Zepp, Pink Floyd, etc. just because they used electric instruments and distortion and took the genre into new sonic/structural arrangements. I love hearing the experimentation (when it works, and I admit that's subjective), but I'm not a big fan of bands that try to reproduce their sound all over again (like Greta Van Fleet). And there are very few modern "pure" blues artists that don't bore me to tears...
Larry = ditto :-)
Another example of the genius of MR John Paul Jones.
So this man told me "Derek he been playin' since he was a chile.. and Susan she sing like a angel of the blues." Have to agree. And all these others.. brilliant! Playing For Change is absolutely the best thing on YT. The best!
I have not seen them live, and I probably missed a reasonably priced chance. I will hear them live before I die, hopefully at Red Rocks.
Only one word = Brilliant !
Listen to the bass in this song.....precise, powerful and perfect. The way John Paul Jones has been playing for over 50 years. JPJ was Led Zeppelin's secret weapon. Robert Plant and Jimmy Page got all limelight and glory, but JPJ was the transmission that made the car move forward.
Bonzo though. Led Zep ain't all time without Bonzo
Bonzo AND JPJ was a force!!!
Bonzo was the aviation fuel
@@derrickwright1996 my thought, Led Zep was heavy because of both
He also has a great sense of humor !
Do you people know how awesome this video really is?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes!
FN Awesome!
Yes.
Still loving this in 2023 66 yo rocker here!
This is best music video I've ever seen...thanks people🙏
Thanks to John Paul Jones and all the musicians, and people behind the scenes for making this happen.
How about some love for the poor black lady in New Orleans who wrote it?
Almost all of Led Zeppellins work is American music written by poor black Southerners that they got very wealthy appropriating and exploiting. It’s fantastic music - but people need to understand where it comes from and why it was written. This is a blues song.
The Rolling Stones did the same thing.
@@elizabethclaiborne6461 What is the poor black ladies name that wrote it?
Caution: This Video has low volume input. If you raise the volume level a lot to compensate, as I did, I got quite a shock when I played another YT video that had regular volume input!!!
This whole video is mind blowing, but the vocalist from New Zealand was another level
Mihirangi blew my mind!
Yes, she comes from the socialist republic of New Gulag land.
@@davesherry5384 You mean the country that handle the virus better than almost any other?
@@simonedmonds3359 By shutting down their borders and being an island, then yes.
@@jasii6940 And listening to the science and acting on it rather than pandering to those making the noise bleating about how their rights are being infringed.
Why do I want to Cry this songs has never given me that feeling before and Led Zep is my most favorite band ever!!!
Buffalo Nickels, what a voice man! Mihirangi and Susan Tedeschi are both excellent and bring 2 different styles to the jam!
Susan Tedeschi has gotta be my favorite female vocalist. So much soul. She kills it every time I hear her.
I hope you’ve seen them play live. They don’t mess about. It’s a can’t miss concert when they come to town.
She's incredible!
She & Derek Trucks are a very talented couple... Their kids have some big shoes to fill!
John Paul Jones is, was and forever will be one of the coolest persons ever.
I can't stop playing this version its my all time favorite ! Led zeppelin
Tedeschi, Trucks, Perkins, and Jones would be an incredible touring band.
Duane Allman too yessir
@@TheGuitarMan71 Duane Allman passed away decades ago
That would be awesome.
@@TheGuitarMan71 haha yeah ol Duane probably isn’t playing at his best these days….
Tell me about it.
The harmonica player really captures the spirit of the original
Original is Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy 1929
Led Zed was also a copy cover
I don’t remember a harmonica, just a guitar & voice from the late 20s.
That’s the incredible Mermans Mosengo from Congo. He’s in a lot of PFC , you’ll find him singing and you’ll just lose it 🙏
@@deanl0 No it isn’t. It’s more of a complete overhaul.
Led Zepp didn't use a Harmonica, it was some Page's guitar with some particular gear...He used it again on Coverdale Page album...
Remember: millions upon millions even billions don't have fancy houses, fancy equipment, decent instruments or even a roof over their head. Remember that. Remember the nobodies. The masses. Remember the music of the indigenous peoples of the world. God Bless.
no god to help is there?
Have always considered this as my favorite song ever.
And I started this video with great hesitation and then immediately felt this is the greatest piece of music ever recorded.
Thank you everyone involved!
Yup, John Paul Jones is still one of the greatest bass players of all time. Live forever Zeppelin. 🔥🤘😎🐐
This is pretty awesome! It is also a testament to how good Zeppelin was that they used seven people to replace Robert Plant on vocals and harmonica, six people to replace Jimmy Page on guitar, an army of drummers and percussionists to replace John Bonham, yet John Paul Jones is absolutely irreplaceable, and didn't need any assistance with bass duties.
Excellent point!!
JPJ Never got enough credit. His grooves Make Zep for me, and a lot of other people.
@@bens4295 in fairness he is up against arguably 3 GOATs! But he held it all together.
@@MGMTBC You speak the Truth. Imagine Page playing a new riff, looking at you on bass and saying "what can you do over that" . Lotta pressure.
@@bens4295 *under that
Susan Tedeschi, throwing down. Damn.
Mymy…LORD.…. Absolutely.. Chilling..YET-- Brilliant..!! One time is certainly not enough..🙏🏻🙏🏻!!
The young man named Buffalo Nichols that opens the song on vocals gives me the chills when I hear him sing. He's young, but his voice sounds old filled with pain and suffering. Incredible artist as is everyone in this video.
@Fred Wills everybody is an expert. He was great.
He's fabulous!!! ❤️ 🔥 🎤 🎶
Me too
Yeah, opening vocals, badass
Yes, his vocals are freaking fabulous. Hit me right in the heart
Susan has such a powerful voice and Derek has gotta be one of the greatest slide guitarists in the world. They are an incredible combination.
I like the little howling wolf howl too.
Derek is the greatest slide guitarist- ever
Her vocal is the highlight of a great mix.
Goose bumps!🦆
@@helmutwilhelm8918 B.B King said so!
One of the best compilations ever put together…
Been a huge Zeppelin fan sine the 70's and all I want to say " great job guy’s and gal’s " keep rocking ⚡️
Mirihangi sings this like she is dying. She just lays it all out there. Tremendous!!!
I've watch this dozens of times and each time, I start getting chills just before she starts singing.
ikr? She is awesome...they all are. She just wails amazingly!
With Dereck Trucks backing her up on slide guitar and JPJ on bass? 2:42 made the hair on the back of my neck stand up!
@@christopherk763 it's as if JPJ and Derek were harmonizing with her.
Cousin Robert would be proud!
I actually got goosebumps when Susan started singing. Just amazing 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
My God man... this is almost too much. This song blows waves of energy out the top of my head every single time. Unbelievable mix of sound.
lady that sang the last frame gave me serious goosebumps dam she can belt
So, I planned on watching just a few seconds of this and ended up watching it three times in a row. This was such a fantastic production that it drew me in wanting to watch it again and again. Thank you to all involved in its production; and thank you Led Zeppelin for giving the world something great to listen to.
I'm think I'm on my 9th watch with many more to come!!!
