    First time I saw Led Zeppelin live was August 8th, 1969 in San Bernardino, California as a 17 year old kid. My eyes were opened that unforgettable evening to a whole new world. Needless to say my life as I knew then, was changed forever. Absolutely no security/bodyguards in those days, so I went from the front row straight out the back door, following the band. As we stood on the back loading dock, waiting for their limo to pull up, they signed their autograph for me. Yes, I have them matted & framed, along with my ticket stub and the Led Zeppelin 1 LP. To me, it's my most cherished object I own.

      Hahahaha you tell him! Years ago I watched the top 50 rock groups on VH1. I thought Led Zeppelin would better number one, and they were.
      I met someone a few years ago who asked what my favorite Led Zeppelin song was. I was taken aback. Huh? I don’t have just one. She demanded that I name some. Some of the names are hard to remember so I looked them up and texted her. She then said I passed the test. If I answered Stairway to Heaven I was just a poser. Why would I just pretend to like them, that’s ridiculous. So I just said, it’s not my favorite because it was overplayed, however, of course I can play it on the guitar. That shut her up lol.

    I think Achilles Last Stand is the greatest song ever written. It definitely deserves a place on this list or any other list. Between Plants soaring vocals, JPJ incredible bass line which accompany the thundering of John Bonham's drums. Some of the best and most intricate work he has ever done, and that is saying a lot believe me. Then the simple fact that it was Page's magnum opus, his guitar army took no prisoners and the track soared because of it. You put that into a large bowl and mix them all together and you get simply the greatest song of all time. Its massive sound and intricate playing, exquisite lyrics and thundering roar from all quarters. The greatest band of all time writes the greatest song of all time; Achilles Last Stand.

    Unfortunately I was born in the wrong time as a Zep fan, it’s unfortunate because I’ll never see them live. That being said, a colleague of mine told me an amazing story: at one of their concerts, Page opened sitting in a wooden chair, a single light shining on him, as he played “Black Mountain Side”. As he finished the last note, he got up, kicked that chair as hard as he could, and struck the first legendary chord of Kashmir as the rest of the guys joined him. The story is nothing special, but I always loved it and thought all you Zep heads in the comments would too

I'm in love with a beautiful woman that likes it hard and loud, and I'm the luckiest man in the world. We have two great kids, a nice home, and a room of Les Pauls and amps.

    What people often don't realize the key to their sound is the incredible timing of all 4 members. They have songs where they only come together on the 12th note, yet they ad lib all the time and hit that note every time. You see videos of Bonham get drunk on stage yet still hitting his timing. Which is also the reason the 2007 reunion didn't go anywhere because even with 6 weeks of practice Jason didn't have the timing.

    Led Zeppelin were my first concert ever. I saw them the first time in 1970; I was 26 years old. They performed again in Vancouver in 1975 and I saw them again two nights in a row. I was in Seattle to see them the final time in 1977. Just wish all you fans that never had this opportunity to see them.. could have. It was so awesome. Today at 74 years old Zeppelin remains at the top of my best memories list. To give you and idea of just how good they were...here are some just some of my life's experience. I have met vice presidents..royalty..movie and tv stars...sports legends. I have shook hands with the Dalai lama and got to know a rock legend named Elvis Costello and his beautiful wife Diana krall. Having all those amazing memories with Led Zeppelin on top of my list should give you a some idea huh?

I tell my kids about it all the time and how little the tickets costed back then. Almost every weekend either a freind or I would get tichets to see someone for like $10 !

    The Beatles are credited a lot for making good songs and were more famous than any other band out there, but I think that Led Zeppelin made music that was more complex and creative than the Beatles. I’ve never heard music before that was more complex than these guys. So Led Zep is the greatest band ever. No other band in history could match the complexity and creativity in their music. Each performance was completely different, so they kept the music changing as well. They were 4 musicians at the peak in skill they had on their instruments. Greatest band ever.

    A FABULOUS time for R&R, the only genre for all such bands at that time. FM radio didn't exist in America, nor cable TV, nor MTV, and internet wasn't even a dream. Local newspapers were how we were informed and they received information from national wire outlets like AP & UPI. When Led Zepplin landed they made a huge splash and influenced many who then defined additional genres. Don't think of them as heavy metal since even that term didn't exist until Steppenwolf released Born To Be Wild with lyrics including 'I like smoke & lightening, heavy metal thunder'. How can a genre exist with an undefined name? Those influenced by Led Zepplin created subsequent genres of today. That Zepplin is still an influence proves their prodigious impact upon baby boomers coming of age. Their name belongs with The Beatles, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis & Little Richard. So enjoy all of their music as it speaks to the sheer power & influence 4 mortal musicians can achieve in a short period of time.

    A few years ago I was very, very lucky and got to play one of John Bonham's drum kits. Basically a friend of a friend had a studio hidden under his house (I don't think I should say where) and it turned out he'd inherited loads of unfathomably valuable instruments from the big bands he'd used to work for back in the day. The kit was a bright red Ludwig Accent kit with Paiste 2002 cymbals, including a China and a couple of splashes which he never used with Zeppelin (the skins and some of the cymbals looked ancient and there's a chance they hadn't changed since when Bonham had owned the kit). The snare was absolutely gigantic and was tuned to perfection - so well that I was learning new stuff just by playing it (I was generally awful at rudiments back then but I improved a fair bit that day). It was apparently the last one he'd bought before his death, for the 1980 America Tour that never happened, and the bass drum was padded out with t-shirts from the same tour that were never sold. I was there to jam with a mate, and we went through loads of covers including RATM, Muse, QOTSA, Black Sabbath, White Stripes, Sex Pistols and Motorhead. Obviously we had to do some Zeppelin covers too - we played Black Dog, No Quarter, Rock and Roll and Whole Lotta Love. (I sung and played for a couple of them.) It was an indescribably awesome experience to play the beats that got me into drumming (or my approximations of them) on an instrument of the man that wrote them. I was amazed that the guy who owned the studio let me play on that kit. I want to go back and do it again someday now that I'm a bit better, but wouldn't be surprised if it's not there anymore or has been hidden away somewhere (though the studio itself was cleverly hidden as well and seemed to only be accessible if you knew the bloke who owned it quite well).

    Also at the 5:30 mark the narrator mentions 'their July 1977 Oakland was their last US appearance.' There was actually 2 Oakland shows - July 23rd and 24th. It should've been written and stated something like: "Their last 2 US shows on their 1977 were July 23rd and 24th - with the 24th being their last show in the US together ever, as Robert Plant's son died on July 26th, which caused them to cancel their mammoth record breaking 1977 US Tour."

    Been studying music theory. Main reason Zep (IMHO) ruled was Bonham. He was so solid, they could do polyrhythms such as on Kashmir. JB plays in 4/4, band plays in 3/4 which gives it that very unique pulse. Really brilliant stuff. & hard to make work. Also, most drummer tend to lock in w/ bass player. He was more locked in with Jimmy, which I think gave the band a unique vibe. And yeah.......those other 3 guys were pretty good too. JPJ was a stud too. I think the singer and guitar player get all the credit, but if ya don't have that locked down rhythm section, ya don't have a band.
    I think it is telling that they called it quits after JB's untimely passing.Nope.....can't find a replacement for that guy.

Robert Plant is a fucking masterpiece, he is so fucking hot, can we just appreciate him for a moment? and his voice is godly. Jimmy Page is a guitar god, simple as that. John Paul Jones, what a phenomenal bassist, just brilliant. He influenced a lot of bassists (including me). John Bonham was such a great drummer, such a shame he passed away. He was a genius. These four lads changed rock n’ roll and I’m glad they did. Thy were in their prime in the 70’s and they were untouchable. I wish I was alive back then. Zeppelin rules!🤘

    Most of the list is well chosen, but some songs are definitely not my personal favorites, such as "When the Levee Breaks." I would have included "How Many More Times," "What Is and What Should Never Be," "Friends," "Gallows Pole," "Celebration Day," "The Battle of Evermore," "Four Sticks," "The Song Remains the Same," "The Ocean," "The Crunge," "In My Time of Dying," "Nobody's Fault But Mine," and "Hots on for Nowhere." As far as "Whole Lotta Love," I could agree if we're talking about the amazing live version from "The Song Remains the Same" soundtrack. From the same soundtrack, I would also add "No Quarter," with its brilliant guitar solo. Man, do I miss these guys!

    Someone has doubted my Led Zeppelin cress. I turned 62 years old this past July. I saw Yes on their Close to the Edge tour. I saw the Allman Bros on their EAt a Peach tour. I sawSly and the Family Stone on the sixth row. I saw the J Geils Band three separate times before Love Stinks made them a national phenomenon. I saw Van Halen in Orlando when they were a back up band for Genisis (with Peter Gabriel as front man). I may be old, but don’t question my classic Rock&Roll creds.

      Oh, and I also saw Pink Floyd on their Animals tour in Jefferson Stadium in Houston. It was raining, but they still launched the giant pig balloon. The sound stage was a 40x40 platform elevated 20’ above the stadium field. They played all of Animals, all of Wish You Were Here, and most of Dark Side of the Moon.

    My top 3:
    1) Kashmir
    2) Immigrant song
    3) Dazed & Confused
    After that it's hard to rank Led Zeppelin.
