Jesus, the shrapnel flying off parts of that solo. Some of the most unique phrasing too. I've heard many versions and this has NO repeats from other ones.
When Plant was doing his solo albums in the early days Jimmy would sometimes come in & watch. On day he walks in with a bag of Beer cans. Drinking one in his hand. He picks up a Telecaster standing in the corner & plays for about 40 secs. One of he musicians in the room said it was the best tone he'd ever heard from a guitar. Jimmy then sits down & lights a cigarette. 3:53
This is the best technical playing and improvising on the part of ALL members here. This show tops anything I've ever seen (yes, seen...many times live) . I don't know of any effing band who could follow Bonham's complex fills and breaks and other things he did so well. Period.
The chemistry between Bonzo and Page during the OTHAFA solo is unimaginably prefect. They hadn't played together much at this stage and the balls on Page to play the way he did. Bonzo countered him with better play.
not quite, but they were starting to get clean and needed a tour to really get that tight zep sound. I'm not sure if it would have worked after a long 10 years of partying and playing on the road. Bonham and JPJ were ready to quit years before this show. Like I said, maybe getting clean and playing together for a month or 3 would've brought the magic back.
TJ I’m actually glad they broke up despite the unfortunate circumstance. I think they had some more left in them, particularly Page songwriting-wise, but I’m glad they just ended it instead of eventually getting washed up in the 80s and beyond.
Couldnt disagree more. Huge fan. They were done. The drugs and hard living had taken over and their playing reflected it. Also the music scene was changing.
On top? Not quite. The searing heights of 1975 were long gone. 1979 and 1980 represented them trying to dig out of rust, personal demons and trauma all the while trying to retool and reframe themselves. Were they done? The spark was still there, the question was would Bonzo and Page get clean and come out the other side. Sadly, we know the answer. That said, to say they were done ignores that much of that magic and chemistry was still there. Clean and sober, as JPJ has said, there was more to do. I think he was right then and still is.
His voice sounded amazing through the 80s and 90s on a lot of Zep material. The character of his voice has grown gracefully from the wailing of the early years to the tempered singer who has no need for crazy tricks.
This solo is one of Page's nastiest. The tone and phrasing is unique , while not technically correct or anything...is worlds better to listen to in my opinion than a thousand other technically better players. As personal as a thumbprint.
Ed Vella Vocal range was not the same. Plant's vocals are fairly smooth but he can't hit the high notes at all on this track and nor could he on most of the higher pitch tunes. For this song, it loses a lot without the higher notes. That being said, I do think Kashmir was on point at Knebworth.
+Ed Vella You're out of your mind if you think this is better than 72. To add to Cameron Olenik's points, Jimmy is awfully sloppy at Knebworth, even by his 'Tight but Loose' standards. Copenhagen 7/24 is a great show, I'll grant you, but better than 72? Come on. I bet if we had a few better recordings of the 72 US tour, you'd change your opinion.
What happened to plants voice? Just to much screaming? It seems over the years it got worse but sounded great at time in Plant n Page and 2007 Ahmet concert
I'm no voice specialist, but he uses that falsetto so much... Which is the more delicate edges of the vocal fold. I think it can only stand so much pummeling lol. But I wonder if they couldn't have just lowered the key for some songs a whole step or more. Robert's new high note would sound great.
Plant sounded great at the '07 O2 show because of preparation, not over-doing it and realizing what he could still maybe stretch out on- he picked his spots, ie. Song Remains the Same, Kashmir, Nobody's Fault.
LZ ended at the right time but in unfortunate circumstances. I think they would have ended naturally after the 1980 tour as the music landscape was shifting and they wanted to pursue individual projects.
Solo worth a re listen. Great tone on when he hits the open bass string really hard. Compositionally not my fave tho. Impecable playing for how wheeled he looks.
Im a massive Page fan and I did not see that coming lol I'm still spinning - LZ forever!!!!
I was there. I was 17. I can play this.
Jesus, the shrapnel flying off parts of that solo. Some of the most unique phrasing too. I've heard many versions and this has NO repeats from other ones.
Just amazing on so many different levels!!!
Same, didn’t hear a single phrase that I recognised from any bootleg
Considering how "beat up" they were at this point, the really killed it with this tune. I love that rythem during the solo. Awesome
One of the most accurate and frankly beautiful comments I've ever read. 👍👍👍

That was beautiful… That took me over the hills and far away… Seriously mammoth
even when Jimmy wasn't in prime form, he's fascinating and so is his playing, always/99.995% of the time.
Even Jimmy's cigarette is wet...lol. What a blistering solo; just...wow!
John Paul Jones is the man! Best bass player ever!
Greatest band to ever walk on stage! Nobody’s half as good!
LZ dances on the razor's edge with such crazy grace, between chaos and genius, unscathed!
Godlike performance, truly.
killer guitar solo,jimmy is great!
Wrong.The best.
Best live Version
The best version of this song hands down
this is fantastic but '73 South Hampton, UK maybe number 1
73 MSG
I use to think nothing could top 73 MSG but after that Dam!!!
Only Led Zeppelin is talented enough that they could fuck up theie own song and still make it sound amazing!
This actually has to be one of their best performances of this song. Or I guess that's just my opinion :p
I am of the same opinion, truly special performance
agreed!! i love it!!!
Your opinion is correct.
I agree, though I prefer '73 Plant on vocals.
I just assumed the early version's were gonna be better! Boy was i wrong:)

3:11 Page is ON FIRE. He's overcome a past broken left hand and Heroin addiction. Though he's likely HIGH here. His playing is superb.
Page didn’t kick heroin until ‘83.
The heroin addiction was about to get MUCH, MUCH worse. Go find the pictures from him in '81 or '82. It's remarkable he is still alive.
He,s coked out, on top of Heroin.. no one else in the band is soaking wet🤔 he got off Herion in 82-83....... hes clearly Lit.
@@johnzeppfelix and while clearly not on top of his game, was still delivering some outstanding performances by sober standards, crazy
Page was still on Heroin and Coke in 1979. He got off Heroin in 1983...
How did Jimmy pull that off?? That dirty tone transforms the song and the dark solo suits it perfectly. Incredible
3:12 Jonesy and Bonzo locked in with maximum tightness and looseness.
The greatest ever
No complaints from me about Page's playing the first night at Knebworth; that's for certain.... 🎸
The beginning of his solo was pretty amazing
The chemistry between Bonzo and Page during the OTHAFA solo is unimaginably prefect. They hadn't played together much at this stage and the balls on Page to play the way he did. Bonzo countered him with better play.
Only 10 years... 🤣
Yes! Balls is a good way to put it!! When your the man i guess u do what u want!!
Best performance of this song
JIMMY'S THE MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great guitar solo,jimmy is on this night!
I was there!
Me too!!!!!
Che BELLEZZA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A band cut short at the top of their game. There's plenty of proof the 1979 Zep was a well tuned band. Page's playing is freakish.

Gracias por subirlo
The 4 greatest musicians in the same band .. what are the chances 🤔.. 🎼❤️
Well this solo was a far cry from 1977's Seattle concert, lol. Jimmy is just unique, brilliant and he loved getting high.
2:09 Bonzo and Jonesy solid lock-step!
Just beautiful 🤕💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Robert actually hits some of the original higher register here on this Over The Hills And Far Away.
2:15
2:34
Page enjoying just doing whatever the fuck he feels like.
Yes!! Thats what i was trying to say:)
Wonderful
Even Robert's lower ranger vocal singing is awesome.But, he does hit some high notes in Physical Graffiti
His voice sounded amazing through the 80s and 90s on a lot of Zep material. The character of his voice has grown gracefully from the wailing of the early years to the tempered singer who has no need for crazy tricks.
Buried underneath all that electric stuff and wicked shredding by Jimmy, is some fine bass lines by Jonesy. Particularly during the solo.... 😎
Jimmy is higgghhhh: 1:12 - 1:17..good for him! And Plant, as sexy as ever !
Even the guitar is sweaty.
You think page is out of it on the solo then he quickly switches the pickup switch and continues shredding chaotically. Hes in total control
One one me fav from the zeps classic rock and roll
thanks for better quality post
Phenomenal!!!
I like the liveversion of How the West was won 1972. 〆
Just bad Asss!
Why don't they ever show John Paul Jones?
That is the way it is with rock bassists (other than Geddy Lee!). Rarely seen. Same with The Ox.
When are they gonna release the entire concert? Two nights preferrably too!
Dan Relayer never Page wasn’t in shape at all
@@dortega12 on the 4th of august he was very good though. So it really isn't an excuse.
@@leandroisaac2000 compare to July 24 he’s another person playing....
This solo is one of Page's nastiest. The tone and phrasing is unique , while not technically correct or anything...is worlds better to listen to in my opinion than a thousand other technically better players. As personal as a thumbprint.
MARAVILHOSO ❤
Não vejo banda melhor
Super. Rock.
Page is the only one up there with Hendrix.
How about Jeff Beck?
@@kylewinward8847 he doesn't write good rock and roll songs
Alex Lifeson, Clapton, Joe Walsh, just to throw out a few names.... 😎
Page looks high as hell.
I question if this a sound board sometimes Aug 11 th is a real sound board
Tell me there was anything wrong with LZ 1979. Tighter and better than 1972.

Yeah, maybe wishful thinking on my part. It wasn't bad though.
Ed Vella haha fair enough. Of course, with Zeppelin there's always good stuff, even in the later years.
+Ed Vella hell no, lol :)
Jimmy Page and Gary Rossington play the coolest while smoking cigarettes. Come to think of it their guitars are usually smoking as well

I have read references about him having vocal nodules removed sometime in the 1970s?
Jimmy plays like he’s saying “in your face”!!
4:28 look out he’s got something to prove tonight 🎉
First time I saw him play this on a Les Paul not the double necked 12 string
LZ ended at the right time but in unfortunate circumstances. I think they would have ended naturally after the 1980 tour as the music landscape was shifting and they wanted to pursue individual projects.

That must have been a Super King Sized XL Stogie Jimmy Had in his mouth.
...or just a cigarette.
May I ask what source this is?
A matrix by Winston Remasters
That’s Solo scared the shit out of me… I want my mommy
Jimmy was trying to re-learn guitar. OMG
kicks Your ass
Less than a year before John Bonhams death
Nooooooo, you don't say?
RIP Bonzo
You are missed
Robert was so flat but Jimmy made up for it.. 🤨
Jimmy a little sloppy on this except for the solo
I'd give my right hand to be as sloppy a guitarist as Jimmy Page! Absolute genius!
