In 1969 Zeppelin were still playing small clubs and universities in the UK. I saw them in April 1969 in a hall behind a pub called The Roundhouse in Dagenham, Essex that held about 300 people. The stage was tiny and about two feet high! This was before the second album so their set was most of the first album plus Killing Floor, Train Kept a- Rollin' and Moby Dick. Imagine being a couple of feet away from Zeppelin, the noise was extraordinary. I remember Plant being tall and thin with wild corkscrew hair and Page's guitar hanging down to his knees, I'd never seen anyone playing guitar like that before. They were supported by the wonderful Blodwyn Pig. Six months later the second album came out and the rest is history. Those were great days.
This was 1969, and this is pretty much the first band that melted people's faces. Even by today's standards this is pretty heavy music. Once you add Bonham's brutal drum smashing and Plant's vocal to the refinement of Page and Jones, they all pushed each other over the edge and just melted faces. It's a beautiful thing.
In the 70s audiences were often invited by the TV staging companies..The invites often had no idea of what was in front of them and would dress in formal clothing and sit dead still..
My thoughts exactly . . . and the audience just sat there!!! I realize they had ZERO clue what they were witnessing . . . but still ... no reaction?!?!?!?!? What a killer performance!!!!
Plant and Bonham barely were out of their teens at this gig. JPJ was 23. Page was 25. Let that sink in. They walked out on that stage that day in front of a dead fish of an audience and produced two mind shattering versions of songs that were 10 years ahead of their time. People talk about how revolutionary Hendrix was and rightfully so. But nothing in rock history compares to early live Led Zep.
They probably thought they were gonna see just another rolling stones, but they got led zeppelin instead. Lol but really, have you ever heard of anyone who was at paris theater speak about how incredible it was? I feel like not one of them cared that they got to witness history. I wanna hear more about it from them
Not ahead of their time if you consider how lame a lot of the times after that time were and are. They were perfect for their time - and for those of us living hard in it.
These guys just nonchalantly walk out onto that stage and put in a perfect and incredible performance. Unbelievable. I'm convinced no other band could do this. They were and still are remarkable and wonderful. No other band to touch them.
Good god.. they were so damn good 👍🏻. I live near Plant and see him about occasionally. He is polite and unassuming. To see him now in his seventies it is incredible to think of this amazing journey he has been on
You are right! I was 14 when I first saw them at the Agradome in Vancouver BC Canada.1969. I will never forget...everybody was so excited !! The crowd when mad! LZ opened for Vanilla Fudge and they(Vanilla Fudge) were sitting on the stage to hear Led Zep. I don't remember VF playing...UNFORGETTABLE!!
In front of that crowd, I admire their perseverance. But I saw them in 1970 in a huge room -- Madison Square Garden. The place was jammed, the crowd was wired, and they were fantastic. So very different from this performance. By then, Jimmy had a wall of Marshall stacks. JPJ also played a Hammond organ for a few songs. Bonham had a few more kit, including double bass drums. Robert played the Garden's massive sound system like an instrument, using more silence to allow the room to echo back like a huge cavern. It was an exciting, mind-blowing experience and no one sat on their hands. We left that hall dazed and confused, and a bit wobbly on the pegs, but feeling like we all had shared something unique and very special. Being part of this huge crowd of freaks walking up 8th Avenue, ears buzzing, with all of us grinning like loonies, I wish that I were 16 again and could do it once more -- like a Groundhog Day moment!
Plant was 21 here and Page 25. I’m 34 and I’d consider these kids now hahaha. And they just come out there and melt your face off. Unbelievable. No act today at this age can come even close to this kind of live performance
I dont care if it was yesterday, or tomorrow,these guys are excellent! And I'm not a crazy go nuts fan.you just know it,when you hear it! I'm 62,grew up in the best possible time.Zepplin,Grand Funk RailRoad,Beatles,Stones,Free,Kinks,Cream! I can go on forever, l965/1975❤
The people in the audience couldn’t comprehend this in early 1969! These guys were MONSTERS! Ultra-talented monsters! And the notes Plant was hitting! Jeez!
Loving the Bonzo vibe on this one....already a master, they were so lucky to have him. Small kit, big sound, loads of confidence and a ton of flair with those right hand twirls! One in a billion.
What I wouldn't give to have been at one of these early shows. What raw power. Individually they are beasts. As a group, I can't even put it into words. WOW!!!
BACK IN "77" ST.LOUIS HOUR LATE... THEN 20min. OF BxTCHIN ABOUT STOOL BEING SAWED ON THE LEG.... BUNCH OF ACOUSTIC MATERIAL..... THEN NO THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE STAGE LIT UP A RAINBOW AND IT WAS ALL OVER.... sigh !!! THANKFULLY THERE'S UA-cam TO NJOY AS YOU NOW CAN BUT NOT A STEREO SYSTEM LIKE BACK THEN... sigh!!! Weed Me
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that Bonham is an absolute legend. Dazed and confused is the standout here but what most don’t realise is he is only just out of his teens here at around the age of 20. No surprise he still tops every best drummer poll in perpetuity and rightly so.
Imagine if you will.....Why,How could Playboy Magazine 1975 vote Karen Carpenter Best Rock Drummer of the year ? Bonham was pissed, got drunk that night... (Karen has an angelic voice for singing...but). What a kick in the balls.
@Zorro Masked Man Karen Carpenter’s style was based on jazz but in ‘75 Buddy Rich, Elvin Jones, Max Roach, Art Blakey were still going strong. She was never a rock drummer.
I only got to see them live once. Most incredible concert ever. The videos and recordings are wonderful but nothing compares to actually being there. Unforgettable.
They had to think all hell was coming down in the midst of this, they're facial expressions or lack there of - says it all, haha. You can also tell by the audio cutout at times that Zep had the amps cranked into decibel ranges they probly never experienced before or after this episode.
Just listened to this again. Can’t be any better than this. The moves, Plant, page, so genious, Bonham , Jones the whole scene absolute genious!M❤️💚🖤🤍🧡💛💜💞
John Paul Jones is sooo underrated. His stability supported the entire band and certainly allowed for Page and Plant to go off script while allowing Bonham freedom to get into his earth shattering fills and propel the band like none other during these early days of what would become Heavy Metal.
They sounded best live when JPJ was playing keys. No Quarter live is Zep at their best. He was, of course, among rock's best bassist, but in my opinion Page's propensity to layer so many guitar tracks left a listener, familiar with the studio track, wondering where the middle went.
"Jonesy" as they called him didn't even receive enough credit from his own bad. Treated him like the bastard half-sibling. I love L.Z. but it's the truth! On the other hand, "Jonsey' didn't have the big ego that needed the back patting so the dynamics of the band seemed to work, I suppose. Just a fan's humble opinion.
I was so blessed to see them 3 times. All four of them are off the chart talented. Plant's vocal command is like no other, he plays his instrument beyond a master level. They are/were the best
You put any band up against these guys at the height of their powers and the Mighty Zeppelin prevails. Four perfect band members for each other. Absolutely perfect.
@coogan8825 I would do a little homework before you laugh it off and you will find out GFRR opened for Led Zeppelin and stole the show to the extent that manager of Zeppelin quickly ended the arrangement. I might add that this band sold out Shea stadium , to be the next band to do so right after the Beatles. I’m a bigger Zep fan but must give credit to GFRR.
Jimmy was an animal back then. Using all modern sounds, technology, and expressive expedience's of that time to drill new ideas into the music of that time. Jimmy was a major player of then, and now, into todays musical influence. His best performances were much better than anyone else's. And oh yeah, Plant, Jones, and Bonham were stunning performers as well.

@@AnitaBarneycastle JPJ was also an equally in demand studio musician and arranger of music at the same time as JP. But hey Anita, we're on the same page (excuse the pun lol) here. We both love LZ. Whole lotta love 🕊
This song is very danceable if you are under the influence of pot or psychedelics and also if you were a youth growing up in 1965 to 1974 where the vibe to dance to this particular song is in your body All others would not be able to dance to this tune at all but these are the tunes that the hippies learned to dance to although this song and similar songs by all rock groups may not have a danceable beat the hippies still were able to move fluidly and by going with the flow the hippies were able to dance even to tunes that did not have a danceable beat!
I saw them in 1971 at Dorton Arena in Raleigh NC..I got up near the stage with my camera and told the security guys I was with The News And Observer and they the me through..I stood right behind John Paul Jones and took pictures..He was playing "Your time is gonna Come" on the B3 and playing bass pedals..I was 15 and very humbled and impressed..JPJ very amazing musician..
"... We got together for the first time and we'd never played together. Someone asked if we knew any songs that we could all play. We knew. Someone said train kept a rolling all night long. They had all played that before. We started playing... And the sound was unbelievable!"- John Paul Jones on led Zeppelin's first session
Robert's best vocal performance was, clearly, their first album. Although it was still great afterwards, man, I kinda wish the later songs had *this* voice.
@@Dilley_G45 ACDC are a great hard rocking kick ass band in the bon Scott and Brian Johnson years but led Zeppelin where just so much more they blew every other rock band away they where untouchable
@@donjohn2695 I suggest you listen to the 1970s AC DC, especially the live stuff from.1977 and 1978, the original versions of highway to hell songs also. And no, Led Doesn't even come close. Bon Scott is the greatest frontman in rock history. He could sing live, and Plant often sounds lame on live recordings...just because Led got more media attention? That means nothing.
Is that what you hope for? Is that what you want? Humm... music will always have great players,then,now and into the future. Led Zepplin is gone and oddly enough music and yes even great music lives on.
They would have to stand up behind me...lol went to George Straight stood up n raised hell...dude stands up behind me n says it's a sit down concert...lol I told him then sit down n shut the hell up...
I think the fact that four dudes with such energy and godly musical talents standing in front of a bunch of unpleasured people just makes it that much cooler of a video
What a video!! You guys hear John Paul Jones on this! Freaking awesome. You can hear his technique and Bass Kung Fu soooo very well. I don't know how you can watch this and not see how their the best band to ever produce something called Rock Music. Improvisation, artistry, super tight, everything you needs in this.
True masterpiece of epic talent, raw and no filters, synthesizers, digital. I saw them in Philadelphia. Wonderful and truly sad that hungry, raw music talent seems less available.
When Jimmy said that "HE GAVE EVRYTHING HE HAD FOR LED ZEPPELIN" he wasn't joking, this vid is proof that no matter who, what where, when etc., Jimmy and the band are giving it all for what looks like a less than stellar arena/audience.
Imagine when a few years passed and they became an epic phenomenon ... how that audience must have had deep regret not to appreciate what they had seen unfold - up close and personal.
1969 been together about a year. Robert Plant being the definition of Rock God, Bonham being the definition of Rock drummer, Jimmy being the definition of Rock guitar wizard, and JPJ the definition of brilliantly gifted silent bass player in the background. Damn, these guys were good😍😍😍😍
@Steve Gregg We ARE gonna make it , Steve...to ETERNITY !!!! The human race ,our animal friends; ALL of us are going to be ok; live on and survive; till the end of time itself !!!👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😁😁😁😁😘😁
The audience has never seen, felt, touched, tasted, or heard anything remotely close to what actually is before them. They are dumbfounded in amazement. And to think how much more was to come . At this time the Mighty Led Zeppelin had it together. When they were still striving to be the greatest
Glad I have the “ear” to hear all of this. Has taken me years to develop it and here I am listening to the absolute best. Omg what can I say . Can’t spend your time doing much better than engaging this epic mind blowing phenomena.
Watching and listening to them play, I can totally see the formula for Van Halen. Powerful drums, excellent bass player, screaming madman with great vocals and high energy as the front man, and a guitar player that is from some other planet! LZ looks like a prototype of VH. The manner in which each of them play their part is quite similar. Black Sabbath has a similar setup. And they are my top 3 favorite bands. So I guess it just works for me. Rock on people!
I am not sure that any band could play like this today. The raw energy and precise skill that all of them had just seemed like one entity producing music.
Richard Ayala..... what on earth are ye talking about...... “ punk rock “ ???? Punk came 15 yrs later and was hopelessly idiotic imbeciles who could barely strung 3 chords together !
Communication Breakdown, according to Johnny Ramone himself, is indeed the original source for the Ramones down stroking, up-tempo style, and Bonham's propulsive drumming is part of that. Led Zeppelin had influence in all kinds of unexpected places ...
Are we trying to prove Zep’s credibility by talking about punk rock and the Ramones? Please don’t waste your time. The dinosaurs outlived the upstarts.
People say Robert in the early days of Led Zeppelin was the best, but that's debatable. I liked his change too. Yeah, he hit higher notes in the early days, but he always sounded good to me. I don't know man I just love the band!
There may have been a change. But there's room for both on the top shelf. 51 years old and I just got a new zeppelin shirt off eBay. Play them while driving the new truck all the time. Love sitting at the light next to younger soccer mom's, making them regret their life's decisions.
This was recorded on June 19 1969 for French TV show Tous En Scene. Plant was still 19 years old at the time. Absolutely incredible. The GOAT at the start of their career.
Oh my God such absolute uninhibited genius.this is the best of the best forever.jimmy and Plant you know all of them are tapping their collective unconscious together tribally right in front of our eyes musically! I’m on fire listening to this gif!!!!
Jimmy è un talento puro, incredibile veramente 👋👋👋 anche usare l arco di violino e non rovinare le corde della chitarra! Questo modo di suonare è assolutamente geniale, nessuno sarà mai come lui.
Wowwy zowwy...would'veoved to have witnessed a show on their early American festival performances...European audiences are extremely reserved compared to American ones...remember this is a filmed television appearance...and looking closely...I too noticed the canned applause between songs...and watching closely I see no audience member in motion...but yeah...maybe the audience is instructed not to utter a sound or move...I does not know...but the Z are are impressive hey ???
One of the things that extra impressive about Zeppelin in late 60s is that Bonham and Plant were like 19-20 years old. That is really young and gets lost on people. Bonham in particular, at such a young age, is what every drummer in the world wanted to sound like.
1969 i saw led zep at pasadena rose palace in calafornia what a mind blower for a young guy starting out on my journey. with my guitar i think this was the best of led zep when they were raw and heavy killer show cheers !

The base line is what melts on this song...
I suggest you listen to Jeff Beck's "Truth" album which was released in 1968.
You said it
Even in a sterile setting, the band plays like they're in Rio. They put their whole heart into it. Fantastic!!!!

John Paul Jones has got to be the most underrated bassist.
Dazed spotlights his steady hypersonic speed.
JPJ is not really underrated at all. He was already well known as the go to session bassist before he ever performed with Led Zeppelin.

It took almost 50 years, but I finally figured out the JP, although a wizard in producing their sound, was the 3rd best musician in the band.
No quarter is his masterpiece

They were great from the moment they got together. And it wasn't easy performing in front of zombies.
Dazed and confused, game changer is something new
As if you can even dance or mosh to this lol shutup
This song is very danceable if you are under the influence of pot or psychedelics and also if you were a youth growing up in 1965 to 1974 where the vibe to dance to this particular song is in your body
All others would not be able to dance to this tune at all but these are the tunes that the hippies learned to dance to
although this song and similar songs by all rock groups may not have a danceable beat the hippies still were able to move fluidly and by going with the flow the hippies were able to dance even to tunes that did not have a danceable beat!
Woman at 6:42 is from cancel culture. Hates rock music.
Totally agree! Why is the audience frozen in place when these guys are clearly rocking their faces off????
Zeppelin is unbelievable.
BEST ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME.
🕊✌🏼🍃
I share this one so much,i can,t get enough of this great one i loveeeeee it.They were here incredible incredible great.Chapeau.
Audience don't seem to appreciate that they are witnessing the birth of one of the greatest rock bands to ever draw breath.
Boham is a beast on drums!
pmcllc you see how he could barely walk on stage 😂, then just smashes it from that point out.
of course he is !
That's awesome look at the brass orchestra watching Page saw through his guitar strings!
Bonham
Hes a rare drummer that puts on a show- I like Blondies drummer in this way.
Thanks, James Barnes, for uploading this. It's such a treasure! I had never seen it before, only in photos.
I saw them in 1971 at Dorton Arena in Raleigh NC..I got up near the stage with my camera and told the security guys I was with The News And Observer and they the me through..I stood right behind John Paul Jones and took pictures..He was playing "Your time is gonna Come" on the B3 and playing bass pedals..I was 15 and very humbled and impressed..JPJ very amazing musician..
"... We got together for the first time and we'd never played together. Someone asked if we knew any songs that we could all play. We knew. Someone said train kept a rolling all night long. They had all played that before. We started playing... And the sound was unbelievable!"- John Paul Jones on led Zeppelin's first session
OUTSTANDING!!! THANK YOU!!!
Damn Robert’s voice in the early days was incredible
Mike Jim dude was 19-20 and sounded like he was 30
Robert's best vocal performance was, clearly, their first album. Although it was still great afterwards, man, I kinda wish the later songs had *this* voice.
@@jacobshirley3457 lo hubieran tenido si se hubiera cuidado su voz y su estilo de vida no fuese tan perdido.
The best voice of Robert Plant is in 1969 to 1972
@@jacobshirley3457 no it was led zep 4
i love how the audience could not see what they were seeing. history in the making.
The beginnings of an incredible musical journey...Thanks for the great memories
Raw, powerful & untouchable in rock music history
I wonder who they stole that song from?
Untouchable? This song is the only one that lives up to early AC/DC
@@Dilley_G45 Come on, man...AC/DC is a cool band, but let's get real...they aren't close to Led Zep's league...
@@Dilley_G45 ACDC are a great hard rocking kick ass band in the bon Scott and Brian Johnson years but led Zeppelin where just so much more they blew every other rock band away they where untouchable
@@donjohn2695 I suggest you listen to the 1970s AC DC, especially the live stuff from.1977 and 1978, the original versions of highway to hell songs also. And no, Led Doesn't even come close. Bon Scott is the greatest frontman in rock history. He could sing live, and Plant often sounds lame on live recordings...just because Led got more media attention? That means nothing.
That voice......awesome 🤘❤️
Epic talent, there was nothing before and there will never be anything after led Zeppelin.
Is that what you hope for? Is that what you want? Humm... music will always have great players,then,now and into the future. Led Zepplin is gone and oddly enough music and yes even great music lives on.
Para mí también han sido los mejores gran grupo
@@bobair2 maybe they meant nothing like them or same level
Exaggerated!
Stones were before and are still here after. And were and are the best rock and roll band.
the crowd had no idea they were watching the greatest Rock band in history,,,,,little did they know,
They would have to stand up behind me...lol went to George Straight stood up n raised hell...dude stands up behind me n says it's a sit down concert...lol I told him then sit down n shut the hell up...
Sit down concert? 😂
I think the fact that four dudes with such energy and godly musical talents standing in front of a bunch of unpleasured people just makes it that much cooler of a video
They did give them a good applause though.
It’s a fucking dumpster fire honestly…but so great
Audiences weren't the same back then. The Beatles and Elvis were the only ones sending the chicks into conniption fits.
The Turtles stomped all over LZ
Even a ballpark peanut vendor yelling "Get yer hot nuts!!!" Couldn't get those zombies off their asses.
LED Zeppelin a maior banda de rock pauleira de todos os tempos pura magia total total 🇧🇷👹🤘🏾🔥☮️🎹🎤🎸🥁⭐🌙🪱🔱🥃🚬
What a video!! You guys hear John Paul Jones on this! Freaking awesome. You can hear his technique and Bass Kung Fu soooo very well. I don't know how you can watch this and not see how their the best band to ever produce something called Rock Music. Improvisation, artistry, super tight, everything you needs in this.
Oaul
@@guineacat0928 - Lol, if only correcting people made someone taller and better at basketball right. Don't be that guy 🙄
Well said!
Four Gods of Rock 🐉🎸🥁🎹🎤 ! What a perfection!
The whole show is like Marty McFly going haywire at the end of Johnny B Goode at the prom, right down to the audience reaction
Nailed it.
Your kids are going to love it
😝😝😝😝🤪
Just the way it was back then.
People sat and actually listened.
Corse now they just point there phone at the stage.
Early Zeppelin..... much love for these guys!
This was epic footage of Zeppelin!! One of the best live performances I seen by them!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
True masterpiece of epic talent, raw and no filters, synthesizers, digital. I saw them in Philadelphia. Wonderful and truly sad that hungry, raw music talent seems less available.
That was so fun to watch. I loved the interaction between the vocal and guitar.
When Jimmy said that "HE GAVE EVRYTHING HE HAD FOR LED ZEPPELIN" he wasn't joking, this vid is proof that no matter who, what where, when etc., Jimmy and the band are giving it all for what looks like a less than stellar arena/audience.
pretty boring sorry.
Yep, gave his soul @
Uh oh 😳
Led Zeppelin: the greatest band of all-time. Simple as that.
My favourite since I first heard their music.
7 Billion human beings on Earth agree!
No question! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Greatest heavy metal band
@@siobob1 ?????
The isolated camera shots of the people in the crowd was hilarious. Some of them looked like they're old enough to be my grandparents. Awesome!
Imagine when a few years passed and they became an epic phenomenon ... how that audience must have had deep regret not to appreciate what they had seen unfold - up close and personal.
1969 been together about a year. Robert Plant being the definition of Rock God, Bonham being the definition of Rock drummer, Jimmy being the definition of Rock guitar wizard, and JPJ the definition of brilliantly gifted silent bass player in the background. Damn, these guys were good😍😍😍😍
The best thing to come out of 2020 - This awesomeness of Zep popping up in my feed!
Thank you Thank you🌟
The best forevermore❣️
Awesome quality!
This is the most frickin bad ass version of Dased and confused I have seen, heard.
Truly epic!
That early lion's roar of Plant... ❤
Pode bater cabeça, seus manés
Estão tendo o privilégio de ver a história passar diante de seus olhos...
Wow the outfits!!! I have been looking and looking for this clip and all I had to do was type in Led Zeppelin live 1969.. yeesh.
Or buy the Led Zep DVD
This is HISTORY, people !!!!!!!!

Keep Hope Alive
The audience has never seen, felt, touched, tasted, or heard anything remotely close to what actually is before them. They are dumbfounded in amazement. And to think how much more was to come . At this time the Mighty Led Zeppelin had it together. When they were still striving to be the greatest
Glad I have the “ear” to hear all of this. Has taken me years to develop it and here I am listening to the absolute best. Omg what can I say . Can’t spend your time doing much better than engaging this epic mind blowing phenomena.
The audience didn’t realize they were witnessing rock history being made. They were witnessing the future of rock-n-roll!
!!!MARAVILLOSOS E INOLVIDABLES ZEPPELIN!!...!!LA MEJOR VOZ, LA MEJOR GUITARRA, LOS MEJORES MÚSICOS!!...!!Y LOS MÁS BELLOS!!..GRACIAS POR ESTE VIDEO.
SO MUCH 4 THE
FRENCH!
Watching and listening to them play, I can totally see the formula for Van Halen. Powerful drums, excellent bass player, screaming madman with great vocals and high energy as the front man, and a guitar player that is from some other planet! LZ looks like a prototype of VH. The manner in which each of them play their part is quite similar. Black Sabbath has a similar setup. And they are my top 3 favorite bands. So I guess it just works for me. Rock on people!
Nobody laid it down as HEAVY as Zeppelin...........EVER!
jerry suzuki this would be considered heavy in 2020, so one can only imagine what it was in 1969
It is heavy, but listen to Humble Pie Live Winterland 1973 album. You’ll like.
@@scottrgood- What a fantastic band! Marriot and Frampton in the same group? Phenomenal stuff
Did you hear Blue Cheer? 200 watt Marshalls... Wide open...
Fo Sho!
to see them around this time would have been absolutely incredible.
I am not sure that any band could play like this today. The raw energy and precise skill that all of them had just seemed like one entity producing music.
Bonzo's punk rock drum beats! Absolutely stunning ahead of it's time for drummer's of all genre of rock.
Pink rock? They wish could be this good
Not to mention that he was a fucking metronome
Richard Ayala..... what on earth are ye talking about...... “ punk rock “ ???? Punk came 15 yrs later and was hopelessly idiotic imbeciles who could barely strung 3 chords together !
Communication Breakdown, according to Johnny Ramone himself, is indeed the original source for the Ramones down stroking, up-tempo style, and Bonham's propulsive drumming is part of that. Led Zeppelin had influence in all kinds of unexpected places ...
Are we trying to prove Zep’s credibility by talking about punk rock and the Ramones? Please don’t waste your time. The dinosaurs outlived the upstarts.
People say Robert in the early days of Led Zeppelin was the best, but that's debatable. I liked his change too. Yeah, he hit higher notes in the early days, but he always sounded good to me. I don't know man I just love the band!
There may have been a change. But there's room for both on the top shelf. 51 years old and I just got a new zeppelin shirt off eBay. Play them while driving the new truck all the time. Love sitting at the light next to younger soccer mom's, making them regret their life's decisions.
@@donavonrobbins1908 COOL MAN!
couldnt stand his voice, sorry.
I have two Zeppelin shirts and three Zeppelin face mask!
Cool
Robert Plant was only 21 years old here, truly impressive
I was just 10 years old lol. It's scary the passage of time.
you sure he wasn't 20?
John Bonham was also only 21. Raw talent.
This was recorded on June 19 1969 for French TV show Tous En Scene. Plant was still 19 years old at the time. Absolutely incredible. The GOAT at the start of their career.
Look at the stunned lovers in the crowd. I was 6 at the time. But, but now I would be kneeling down in front paying homage to these rock gods
Glad I grew up in the 60's & 70's no one can ever experience such an awesome time.
Oh my God such absolute uninhibited genius.this is the best of the best forever.jimmy and Plant you know all of them are tapping their collective unconscious together tribally right in front of our eyes musically! I’m on fire listening to this gif!!!!
Greatest band of all time
Better than The Beatles? LMAO
@Ascension Astrology With Raina Moon yes I have to say they were better than the beatles just heavier and more versatile.
Queen and the Who.
John Bonham was an animal that could never be contained. This man was just a monster on the drums🥁❤️👍💯
Jimmy è un talento puro, incredibile veramente 👋👋👋 anche usare l arco di violino e non rovinare le corde della chitarra! Questo modo di suonare è assolutamente geniale, nessuno sarà mai come lui.
Amazing drums, unbelievable on that set. Amazing group!
Led Zeppelin ... the juggernaut of Valhalla, simply BRILLIANT 👏 👌 😀
the best band EVER.
Wowwy zowwy...would'veoved to have witnessed a show on their early American festival performances...European audiences are extremely reserved compared to American ones...remember this is a filmed television appearance...and looking closely...I too noticed the canned applause between songs...and watching closely I see no audience member in motion...but yeah...maybe the audience is instructed not to utter a sound or move...I does not know...but the Z are are impressive hey ???
One of the things that extra impressive about Zeppelin in late 60s is that Bonham and Plant were like 19-20 years old. That is really young and gets lost on people. Bonham in particular, at such a young age, is what every drummer in the world wanted to sound like.
1969 i saw led zep at pasadena rose palace in calafornia what a mind blower for a young guy starting out on my journey. with my guitar i think this was the best of led zep when they were raw and heavy killer show cheers !
This band has potential!
Guitar player is good.
nao duram 1 show😅
Pure raw energy...Led Zeppelin!!!
1975 got my first Zeppelin album, the 4th one, then made it my life's mission to get the rest, still listening and lovin them today in 2001.
The big heavy rolling combos in Dazed an CONFUSED Bonzo's sound is uniquely his own!!
Never getting a chance to catch Zepplin live , I can handle listening to these jams day and night. God bless John Bohnham
This was incredible!! Just wish I'd been old enough to have been there! 🎸🎸🎸
