I went to a rock concert in the early 2000s. Was super surprised that the air in the arena was clear and that people were using their phone's flashlight at the end of the concert. In the years when Zep was touring any concert you went to was hazy and heavy with the scent of all the pot being smoked and at the end of a song or concert you used your Bic lighter, which of course you used to light up your joints to begin with, to show approval. Entire stadiums were lit up with Bics or similar. Good times!
The experience of being at a concert was way more important and immersive than anyone can get by watching a recording of the show. However, this is the best way to learn about the music, musicians and the performances. Just hold your lighter flame up high as long as possible till the burn felt to hot to continue.

So happy you did the live version of this great great song. I was there at this concert mesmerized at just 15 years old what a great time in my life they are the greatest band in history …Thank you!
The best thing about no cell phones was no parents or gfs calling you to see what you are up to. I went o a concert at the Paladium on 14th street in NYC around 1978. Not only did they sell beer there but you were expected to share whatever you brought in with you with the people near where u sat.
Haha. I found that out in 1980 at my very first concert. I was 12. Talk about a shock to the system! I had no idea I was expected to share my stuff. 😂😂
@@snakeinthegrass7443 Who did you see? I was 18 and I saw Van Halen for their first album tour. I only remember the first and last songs. LOL. And well, the trip to Times Square afterwards was very rememberable as well. Lets just say Mickey Mouse wasn't the star in Times Square then. More like Fritz the Cat. Seka, Marylin Chambers and John Holmes is who you went to see. often performing live too.
Never got to see Zeppelin, however, I have been to many concerts pre smartphone, and yeah it's a major difference. Not just the phones either. I mean those stadiums were full of smoke, and it wasn't all cigarettes. For encore's instead of smartphones you saw lighters. Thousands of them. However, to the more cogent point, all focus tended to be on the band instead of recording the band. Depending. Sometimes there was dancing, smoking and general debauchery, but you get the idea. 🙂
to me it's like being the photographer on Christmas. You miss so much of the moment, the feeling when you are distracted by trying to get the pictures. I am so glad I was a teen in the 70's and FELT the whole experience of every concert. We held up our lighters or matches to give approval. Even when I have been to recent concerts, I don't take pictures, usually I can find clips on youtube afterwards to relive the experience.
That authenticity you seek in music is a noble and just path. It is about 'feeling', the transmission and connection, how it resonates for us and touches in an emotional sense. It is such musical magic and creativity, which Led Zeppelin has, that can transport us. There's soul to their music and an integrity'; that and passion, all played by master musicians. Is it any wonder we fall under their spell? That is what all great art seeks to realize. Stay on your path and enjoy each unfolding moment. :)
The slow down starting at 9:10 is incredible, Drums, bass, and guitar are completely locked in and connected… Bonham, Jones, and Page formed a perfect instrumental team, complimented and enhanced by Plant’s vocals and lyrics… no weak link.
People that day the record is the best version, Are the people who have never seen them live... I've seen them once before and 2nights of the 3at MSG.... Vs sitting in a room by myself for a couple hours... Memories of a life experience.... Vs a flat BLK disc... Hours that flowed into day's that are remember till this day.... I haven't seen my Zeppelin record's since 1979... But I have this....
There are many versions. How the West Was One live cd set has the best version in my experience. They all offer something different. Improv animals; beasts.
One of the many video/songs taken from MSG during the filming of "The Song Remains The Same" movie/documentary. I've seen it 20+ times since a teen back in the 70's
Great reaction all the way around. Lots of great comments and observations. And that's great about a HomeTown Mr Miyagi! It's also good to know that you have done a bit of touring and been in recording studios before. That's been a huge part of my life for a long time in different ways. I think knowing what it's like to work in a recording studio helps you appreciate all this stuff even better and not just this stuff any stuff including hip hop. I can never not think of it that way when I listen to a studio recording. And we would typically be doing an older style of music at least compared to right now. It wasn't classic rock by any means but it still had all the same elements to recording it. And then I was in on the mixing of it and a little bit on the mastering so there's just a whole world of fascinating experience out there that all goes into the stuff that we hear everyday. Whether it's really old or really new.
@@NAIATHEDRAGON that is a tough question to answer because I think the context that it was in is more about that particular kind of live band experience and then recording it and what I love about those situations was yeah we did the occasional you know extra overdub to add some stuff. But then that was honest because in live we would have other people come up maybe you know just guests certain nights feature of female vocalist that wasn't part of the band or yeah have a saxophone and a trumpet and a trombone. You know or maybe some night it's a clarinet and me playing trumpet along with guitar voice and all that stuff and just mix it up. But on the other hand, I recorded all kinds of things. Not just stuck in a particular genre of more traditional music. I mean I've scored a three movement symphony. Which I could send you links to on youtube. I quit supporting my website during the pandemic and said screw it all. I'm not doing that stuff right now and so I moved a lot of it to UA-cam and so I do have links to it. It's just not a very promoted thing but you know there's classical music like that although it's kind of modern classical. And then I did two different modern dance scores for the University of Kansas here where I live in Lawrence kansas. About 9 10 years ago maybe longer I guess it was fascinating working with choreography. I would most love to score a movie and I have scored some small stuff but working with modern dance was the other way around, they like to choreograph to already existing music that's why they normally just pick something like say in rem song or you know it could be anything but when they do decide to work with original artists and commission something, then as the composer I need to stay 16 to 32 or more bars ahead of them like every practice and they practice two times a week. So here I am like this racing do stuff on my digital home studio creating this stuff based on emotions that the choreographer told me that she wanted. But she gave me that nice sandbox without trying to micromanage it and so I would come up with stuff and go to their practices and if they asked me to modify it slightly I would. And in the end it turns out to be this live performance that has several days in a row and it's on there at the time literally million dollar sound system and audience response is great but although I'd say a lot of this because I got to know these dancers. I'm a huge KU basketball fan for sure but seeing this side of Athletics was fascinating to me. These guys were amazing athletes.

This is not the correct video. If you want the correct version you must type in full version of the movie THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME. You will find it there. You will see this version but not all cut up and the audience too. PlZ look for it. This version is still good but it has been compromised.
I was so fortunate to see AC/DC in 2005. I was in complete shock at the amount of people paying more attention to their cell phones than the absolutely amazing show! And the lack of consideration…I’m 4’10”. The people in front of me kept putting their phones up thus, blocking my view.

So I think you're doing a fine job. You needn't stress yourself. Do the things you can, when you can. Having said that, it's time to put some of the legendary band Rush on your channel. The job you do with live shows would lead me to suggest that diving right in to their live show in Rio De Janeiro with the song "YYZ". I wouldn't start there with other reactors but you have a different and better understanding of live music. Check it out and be prepared to be ROCKED! Lovin' the Zep!!!
@@NAIATHEDRAGON Ditto on everything posted here. That performance mentioned is nothing short of EPIC! You will be blown away by the crowd just as much as the band. BTW, I'm in the "Capital District". As you know, Upstate means somewhere diff to diff people. Are you near me? Just curious cuz I got a little excited when I heard you say that. Is that weird? Lol. Peace and safety, my brother. ✌🏼
Wanted to comment on the cell phone thing before I forget, yeah and you know what nowadays I'm as guilty as the next guy. I can't help getting my phone out taking some Stills and then some video and trying to get a good position and all that but on the other hand I'm pretty conscious of it and I try not to have it out constantly. Either way it's just not the same. Back then you would just get so 100% involved in the music, you didn't have any distraction like that and you didn't have to worry about dropping and breaking it or any of that stuff. And what you're seeing out there was the tradition mainly was to use cigarette lighters you know the butane lighters when you wanted to show respect. And it also it kind of have a momentum like if some people started doing it then maybe a lot of people would do it. And it was hilarious because some people would keep them on so long that that metal gets so hot you can seriously burn your fingers if they touch it and then also people would bring multiple lighters so that when one ran out of fuel you could just pull the next one out. And yes I was one of those idiots that learned how to do the trick where you take your pocket knife deface the opening where the butane jet is and then when you light it it's like a blowtorch; it just shoots wild intense flames like a foot or two straight up into the air and it's just so dramatic. And it was somewhat dangerous and I remember a few mishaps that would just happen. In fact if there were a lot of people doing it at a concert, that was part of the fun of just waiting for something to go wrong. Laughing my ass off right now thinking about it. That would never fly today. And then, this was not the norm, but I was in a few really totally just kick ass shows, I'm thinking of seeing Van Halen on their second album tour in a pretty small arena. And it was around the 4th of July and there were so many bottle rockets and even Roman candles being shot off inside there!
So much smoke in the room I don't think I would of been able to breath ahahaha. At least back then you guys got to keep the best moments to yourselves. Nowadays ANYTHING and EVERYTHING hits the internet. Not much is hidden but bigfoot and the rest of the mystical beings 😅.
DUDE....I gave you the CORRECT LINK for this song 8 days ago in my comment on your reaction to the studio version of this song ( "Since I've Been Loving You" ) and TOLD YOU not to use the, " Official " version because it's chopped, edited and not the complete, actual song as it was recorded/performed. It uses different versions into one. You said, " Thank you man. I'm taking your advice to the bank! " and yet you did exactly the opposite of what I was helping you avoid....and you did not use the proper link I pasted here for you last week. You went right ahead and used the screwed up chopped, " Official " version. Ugh. Dude. I even gave you the correct version link in HD. ????? 😮💨😒
Kinda rude way of putting your point out there. Don't ya think? After 40+ years of jamming to Zep, I didnt even realize there's a proper way to listen to them! Merry Christmas to all.

So much smoke in the room I don't think I would of been able to breath ahahaha. At least back then you guys got to keep the best moments to yourselves. Nowadays ANYTHING and EVERYTHING hits the internet. Not much is hidden but bigfoot and the rest of the mystical beings 😅.
Cigarette lighters then, camera flashlights now.
Oh man, how great would it be if you dropped one of these songs into your shows. Do you work with actual musicians? Drummers and guitarists?
I used to. I haven't done music in a while. Been writing books 📚.
@@NAIATHEDRAGON Do tell, sir. Have any published yet?
NewSub so…getting caught up. Confused by the duplicates?
There are better ways to “filter” videos that don’t completely block them out.
Bic lighters!
We used cigarette lighters

You are so cool:) Shall we connect?
Bic lighters
LOL... No lights.. maybe people lighting up a number. some use their lighters.
DUDE....I gave you the CORRECT LINK for this song 8 days ago in my comment on your reaction to the studio version of this song ( "Since I've Been Loving You" ) and TOLD YOU not to use the,
" Official " version because it's chopped, edited and not the complete, actual song as it was recorded/performed. It uses different versions into one. You said, " Thank you man. I'm taking your advice to the bank! " and yet you did exactly the opposite of what I was helping you avoid....and you did not use the proper link I pasted here for you last week.
You went right ahead and used the screwed up chopped, " Official " version.
Ugh. Dude.
I even gave you the correct version link in HD.
????? 😮💨😒
Gotta be honest man multitasking and being overwhelmed definitely plays a part. Trying to remember hasn't been easy.
You sound like a certified child lmao.
We used lighters back then
You shouldn't be bouncing around the Zeppelin catalog, you should be doing it the proper way, album by album song by song. Love the no interruptions.
Kinda rude way of putting your point out there. Don't ya think? After 40+ years of jamming to Zep, I didnt even realize there's a proper way to listen to them! Merry Christmas to all.
