Plant said in an interview that with the dynamics of the others he had to make his voice another musical instrument. They all keyed off of each other. Bonham said he followed and lead the guitars while they followed and lead him. This was a band of dynamics that fused together instead of over stepping each other. There will never be a band with these dynamics and spontaneous, matching creativity. Led Zepplin will forever be the best.
I will say that even though I think you are absolutely right, it makes me sad to know that we have passed the pinnacle of this kind of performance, that nothing will match it.
You said it. Zeppelin is by far the beginning, and greatest band. They are the pinnacle of rock history. Plants voice just brings out the beauty of Pages guitar, Jones keyboard, Bonzos drums. There has to be devine intervention when they all found each other. I started listening to them when 2 came out. I would steal my brother album and listen to them.
@@Auntiep61 Robert Plant was asked to sit in for a singer from another band, pre-Zeppelin, that couldn't make their show. Page was told about his style and went to hear him. Within the first minute of their first rehearsal Page said he knew they were going to be good.
Plant in his prime was the best front man of all time. Zep still gives chills after 40 years of listening. Pure magic and power. This will never be replicated. My biggest regret is that I never got to see them live.
Luckily at age 14 I took a ride on the back of a hardtail Sportster 140 mi of old broken concrete 2 Lane State highway to see them in St Louis. On the bike we cut through the lines of cars in order to park and smoked with everybody along the way in the parking lot and the crazy thing was that a good 10% of the people that came to the show were expecting them to sound like their albums and got up and left. That just made more room for us to move forward. Early Zeppelin live was nothing compared to their later live performances but it was still fabulous!
There are two voices crying out here, Robert’s voice and Jimmy’s guitar, weaving around each other as they did so well live. And the bass keyboards and drums are the dynamic kick in the guts. Love it. This is one of my desert island songs. So glad you listened to this one.
Yeah, and if you listen under Page and Plant the platform that Bonham and Jones build is simply amazing isn't it? I have told the bride when I go to the other side play this at the party, along with Stairway, The Lemon Song and of course, Ramble On. Then when we go to either the furnace, or the green plot put the CD, thumb, or what ever media in with me. Be well and safe, peace to you and yours.
The best rock vocalist ever. A blues vocalist by style, but with such an amazing range. I'm 63 now and my biggest regret musically is that i never saw Zepp in concert.
I was fortunate enough to hear them in 69, shortly before the release of their first album. Believe it or not, they were the warm-up act for Vanilla Fudge. I knew Jimmy Page from the Yardbirds, but that's all. I don't have to tell you how they blew everyone, including VF, away. So many people left after Zep, I got to move down to front row for Vanilla Fudge. I've been to many concerts including The Beatles, Stones and even Hendrix, but this is the concert I remember the most. I might be old, but I got to live through the music of the greatest bands of all time! My daughters always tell me how jealous they are!
Saw them in Adelaide as a teenager…..and, of course, it was brilliant. I dragged my cousin along with me and I’m sure she was thinking, ‘who the hell is this group, am I going to hate it’. Our musical preferences were different at the time as I had already been more into blues and the burgeoning heavy metal scene. Needless to say, she loved it and another fan was created.
It was days before their Buffalo NY concert, when John Bonham (the BEST drummer that ever lived) passed away. I was supposed to go to that concert. One of life's greatest regrets.
I’m the same age as you, and I totally regret not seeing them live in concert. They take the songs from their albums and slightly change them every performance. Best rock band ever. 4 incredible talents that blessed us for 10 years with unearthly music. They are Rock Gods. Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin is an example of a band where all 4 members are the absolute best at what they do. I was born after the broke up l, but I’m glad I got to see page and plant in 97, not the same but still an experience.
That page/plant tour was outstanding. I have been a zeppelin fan since 1975 when I was eight years old and was very happy to have seen that. There is a tribute band called “get the lead out“ that is the best I have seen from a musicianship standpoint, I think there are six guys in the band and none of them look like Led Zeppelin guys, but their objective is to play the music perfectly. They come pretty close!
I was alive well before Bonham's tragic death but never saw them live. I saw Robert Plant live in Hershey Pa in 1988 and was in the front row, he sounded amazing but I had to keep looking back to watch all the girls taking their tops off lol.
I appreciate seeing a younger generation of people dig the musicianship of led Zeppelin. They were truly a force of nature. They were panned by critics initially but they had a huge arena level following and they really created their own rules when it came to the business end of it. If you listen to their live music, you can appreciate that they never did a song the same way twice. They were improvisational. One of the greatest rock acts ever
His Voice was a gift from God who gave him vocals no other human has ever had (Powerful beyond words to explain) A beautiful human being humble ,wise musically gifted all 4 of them :D
When Plant startssinging the band is quiet and then just before Plant ends his opening howl, you hear Bonham cueing the rest of the band with a slight opening of his hihat. So amazing how this band acts almost as one organism so it all comes together.
My thoughts exactly! My very 1st concert in August of 1971 was Led Zeppelin at the Sam Houston Coliseum. No backup group and they played 3+ hours. Been to many other concerts but none can match that one. They are timeless.
listen again to "workenn" ; sung so it rhymes with "sevenn" and "elevenn" ( best way to describe Robert Plant's GOLDEN VOICE = a cross between Elvis Presley and Rod Stewart , with a sprinkle of Mario Lanza ) 💡
In concert, Zeppelin almost never did any song the same way twice. Their ability to improv and play off each other was legendary. Keep in mind that these are four virtuosos, some of the best musicians ever to play at any level, and as a collective, they were great songwriters, as well. Because of these skills, they could and often did write in many genres, often times improvising a new song on the spot or songs that were written on one take from scratch. Simply one of the most amazing bands you'll ever encounter, a true one-of-a-kind experience.
They had the "MAGIC" It's so missing in a lot of contemporary music. Truly my favorite ban since forever. First 45 I bought Whole Lotta Love ❤️ First Album was LZ II . The Best ever IMHO
I can’t agree with this. Maybe city to city might be different. However, this soundtrack is either from another night as The Song Remains the Same film version or another performance all together on this tour. Watch ua-cam.com/video/1gHlbHtdVLU/v-deo.html This is from the film and you can tell it’s a different performance because of very subtle differences in Jimmy’s solos and when Robert sings the “that ain’t right” line. But otherwise they’re so closely rehearsed that the maker of this video was able to sync video from the film to the audio of what I’m guessing is either really good bootleg work or something off an album. Perhaps even the soundtrack version.
I'm 70 years old and I was born on the same hospital ward in West Bromwich where Robert Plant was born in1948. I've been listening to Led Zeppelin from their beginning, seen them live in concert and met Robert a few times in person, one of the times we were chatting up the bar at my local pub in West Bromwich.
I met Robert Plant in July. I've been listening to this seductive voice for 45+ years, and my inner 15-year-old self was losing her freaking mind. Absolute rock god.
I met him on the street 10 years ago in NYC when he was here to do the presser for "Celebration Day". He...walked up to...ME! ... and said hello. You think you are going to say/ask all the questions of a lifetime if you ever meet him, but in reality, you are about to piss your pants and all you can do is take a knee and say- MY LIEGE! and you lose yourself. Well.....I lost MY self! haha. But the most amazing 5-10 minutes of my life.
Every time I hear a zep song I get goose bumps and tears in my eyes. This music is so emotional. I alway talk about my favorite bands and i comeback to Led Zeppelin and realize nobody else has, had or will ever have what they had, Nothing comes close to them.
Page and Plant are perfect together, if you listen to the original, you'll see how much they're improvising and driving each other towards different places. It's a common trait of Zeppeling songs, specially live for the phrasing of the guitar and voice to interwoven together almost as one.
Dont forget Bonham and John Paul Jones. Theyre all superstars, and its a common joke that when you assemble an all star rock band you just end up with Led Zeppelin
I think it was John Paul Jones that said that in the studio, this (zeppelin III) and Black Dog (zeppelin IV) were the 2 hardest songs they ever recorded to get nailed down
As an old guy raised on Led Zeppelin, I really enjoy your reactions, Elizabeth! And your professional analysis and breakdown of Plant's vocals reminds me that as an adolescent I was MOVED by Zep's songs and Robert's voice, but could not fully appreciate all that he brought to every tune. Thanks.
@@proinseasburke2681 Hallo Irishman, thanks for mentioning Rory. I haven't heard of him probably because I just know the popular bands like Zeppelin, Stones, Queen, Elton John, David Bowie, T-Rex. Did Rory play in any mega bands I've missed or write any mega pop tunes others played and made famous? Thanks 👍
I saw Robert in concert three years ago, he's still got it. During a quiet spot, some guy in the audience yelled out "you're a golden god Robert!" He wasn't wrong 😁
Early on Led Zeppelin was primarily a blues based rock band. They basically took the blues and really electrified it. They are not actually a heavy metal band but had a lot of aspects that influenced metal groups, especially those of the 80's. Robert Plant did have voice issues over the years, but to this very day is still very creative and can "squeal" when he wants too.
@@saemikneu Elvis listened to a lot of music, as did everyone in his time and before. Music is derivative. There are no originals, just in case you mention Chuck Berry, etc. Some took from their influences and took music to another level, as The Beatles did.
Elizabeth,I'm 66yrs old,saw Zep twice back in the day as they have always been THE band for me. But wow! You have given me an all new appreciation for Robert. I knew he was great but 50yrs later he still brings it albeit a little more mellow. Thank you.
I was overcome with tears several times while watching this. I grew up on Led Zeppelin in the 70s, and all the passing decades have only increased my awe of this band. As you said "We are not worthy."
Dear Elizabeth, if anyone else would pause a reaction and rewind so many times I would leave immediately, but your analyses are so interesting, educational, and just plain fun that I feel your love and understanding for the music more than I hear the song that you are reacting to. It's not a reaction at all, actually it's like a thesis every time. Thank you so much!
Yes, it’s all about context. Plus almost everyone watching this will have seen it a million times before anyway, so pausing frequently for analysis is fine.
Since Ive Been Loving You is simply a singer and a guitar having a blues conversation and we're all just living in their world hanging on every word! Before you know it, tears are running down your cheek and you didnt even know it until they fell off your cheek and hit your leg. I dare you not to have tears listening to this song, amd a step further, watching Elizabeths childlike reactions of exhilaration.
I've never actually witnessed someone having an eargasm before but you just did, Led Zeppelin has been a part of most of my 59 years on earth and for good reason, they're simply genius.
The most incredible thing about Zeppelin is actually how tight they sound, while playing so loosely. This is a mark of real skill and a deep connection with the music and the other musicians in the band. You feel they could just go off in another direction any second...
Makes you realize why they stopped playing after Bonham' death. The chemistry between him and Page is incredible. Page only turn around once right near the end.
When you know that Bonham’s approach to Zeppelin’s music was in most cases to follow Page, you can really see it once you know what to look for. This is especially in evidence live and it’s a testament to their greatness that their live playing didn’t really mirror the studio arrangements. It did where it needed to be, but their take was that the songs were never finished and the improvisation that went on live is just an example of their musical abilities and their creativity.
That confidence that Plant shows I am sure come from not thinking you are the best rock band on the planet, but knowing it. Not thinking you are surrounded by good musicians, but knowing you are surrounded by some of the best rock musicians of all time, totally in sync at that moment. From knowing you could point to any woman in the audience and not only know she would rush to meet you backstage after the show, but that her boyfriend would literally push her towards the backstage. For that 10 or so years, Led Zeppelin occupied that rarefied air and they deserved it and they did not disappoint. Never say never, but I can't see how any band could again be who they were at that time.
Only studio recording Led Zeppelin did with someone other than Robert Plant on vocals (he recorded multiple tracks for all other songs’ vocal harmonies).
The studio version is a masterpiece, but I love seeing this footage of Plant and Page on stage. In their prime, they were the epitome of what it was to be Rock gods.
@@peterkassner3552 agreed... Try some other live versions though! Since I've Been Loving You fro BBC Sessions for instance. The vocals are on par with the album take. There are some versions from bootlegs that are even (slightly) better, but of course the sound is rough.
The thing that makes this number stand out to me (and I'm a drummer, btw), is how everyone instinctively comes together again and again; seemingly out of nowhere. It's quite astounding, really. They are obviously very, VERY well-rehearsed.
This is such fun to hear someone analyze what we've all known was amazing for years. And to put it into musical terms with her articulate approach. Laughing with joy while watching her enjoy her early exposure to some of the best stuff there is.
And to think they did this show with hardly any prior notice and no time. So glad I got to see them. They are the best of the best unmatched. Best concert I ever saw.
In my opinion Led Zeppelin is the greatest band in history this is what you get when you put four master musicians together . You will never hear this sound in another band indeed .
Here the band are 4 years and 5 albums on from their debut release and reaching the zenith of their powers. Live, this song give Page and Plant the perfect opportunity to stretch their incredible slow minor blues chops and the way in which their phrasing has become honed and intertwined is remarkable. Page repeats phrases to perfectly echo Plant's inventiveness, whist never straying too far from the blues greats that they know so well. No performance of this song was probably ever the same and and its a masterclass of technique and feel and sets them apart from the other rock bands of that decade. You're never in doubt that you're listening to Zeppelin but the roots go deep and are laid out for all to experience. Sublime.
@@stephenv1832 '4 years and 5 albums on from their debut release' not from when they formed. 1969 to 1973 is 4 years.Any way 1968 to 1973 is FIVE years. Man.
A few decades ago, a love long gone, under the stars on a warm summer night and this song. Powerful memories. No words were needed; just this song and the powers of the universe. Powerful. Glad you liked it.
Such a joy watching you fall "in love" with Robert Plant & Led Zeppelin in real time. They're THAT good! Keep the Zep coming Elizabeth. You've only scratched the tip of the Zep iceberg!
The thing I love most about a live Zeppelin performance is, like Joplin's singing before them and SRV's playing after them, you get to see raw creativity during the performance. It's not the result of practice and polish, bottled for your enjoyment. They start with basically an outline, and then they're literally not playing the same thing even once. It's just genius and skill, creating in the moment and for the moment, and you're welcomed to just take the ride with them. A lot of bands and singers are wonderful to listen to and enjoy, but it's a very few who invite you to go...beyond, and discover how it will unfold right along with them. So special. Really enjoy your channel!
This is a blues song. One of the greatest of all time. This is not metal. The studio version is perfect. In addition to Plant, Page and Bonzo on the Mt Rushmore of their respective instruments. Jones' ability to set the bassline and add just the right touch with multiple instruments across their entire catalog is awesome. One of the top bands in the history of rock/blues music. Love your videos and watching you expand your musical horizons.
The segue at the beginning of the song was typical of Led Zeppelin moving from one song to the next without introduction. I think they didn't want to interrupt the flow of the music. Plant was very versatile in his presentation, i view his work as being almost jazz like in his ability to sing whatever or however he felt was necessary in the moment. Impromptu, improv, whatever you want to call it, Plant was able to even make a mistaken note sound as if he meant to hit the wrong note. He is a performer. A chameleon who is able to change his musical spots into stripes on a whim. I had the privilege to see Led Zeppelin in San Diego in San Diego in June of 1977. Bonhom was so drunk that he fell off of his stool during the acoustic set. He was taken off stage until the end of that set, then he ran back onstage as if he had not had a drink that night. It must have been the miracles of modern street medicine at work. This was to be the last San Diego stop for Led Zeppelin. Bonhom dies of alcohol poisoning the following year or two after that San Diego performance. Plant, Page, Jones and Bonhom brought so many tools to their trade that they could have played Disney songs and their fans would have loved those songs as well. Plant continues to be a performer and his music is groundbreaking as he works through his seventies. He still delivers the old songs in new ways as he works his voice like any journeyman would use his tool. We are able to see and hear him perform even today and I would suggest that anyone who has not been to a Plant performance to correct that deficiency in their musical diet. Get your dose of vitamin P as soon as possible. You will be glad you did. As an aside, towards the end of the song the videographer zoomed in on Plant and the look on his face as he was watching Page play his solo was exquisitely Plant as he was caught in a moment of amazement of Pages virtuosity... He enjoyed Pages work as much as any of us did. Even he was caught up in the moment, but being the pro he was he recovered in time to finish the song in his own inimitable manner. I loved the band then... and still enjoy their work now. Now and again fate, or chance, brings together perfection. This was an example of that perfection recorded for posterity. Thank you for your review. You obviously enjoy, or should I say Love, the work of the dynamic Plant?? Yes, you do. Welcome to the club.
Thank you so much. At 63, "Since I've Been Loving You", is perhaps my favorite Led Zeppelin song of all time. I think what most of us hear, is a classic Led Zeppelin song, with a tremendous Blues influence. However, your wonderful ability to describe this performance in a way that makes sense to your listeners, from the multiple layers of Robert Plant’s vocals, to John Paul Jones keyboards and of course, Jimmy Page’s fantastic guitar work, so it’s like hearing it, for the very first time. I truly enjoy watching your reactions to this classic song, because I think I had similar reactions the first time I heard it, laying on top of my bed with my headphones on.
Some things can't be taught, alot of the great players and vocalist didn't read music. No auto tuners or karaoke here ! This is when music was truly inspired. I remember , good memories.
Jimmy Page could read music. He made a living playing advertising jingles for a time between bands before LZ. Only technically astute readers are auditioned for jingles, believe it or not
@@seelenwinter6662 there's plenty of good stuff nowadays as well of course nothing like led zeppelin, which is a legendary, music genre-defining supergroup, but yeeeeeeah there's good music!
Don't forget that this band was clearly ahead of their time. We are fortunate to share their gifts. They could take their music to levels that many still today are trying to reach. Truly climbers of mountains.
This is a remake of a much, much older song. I loved Zepplin, grew up listening to them- but they were not "ahead of their time" - they were firmly anchored in the old blues and classic folk traditions. White Summer, Black Mountain Side was a remake as well- a combination of two old Irish folk songs. And if you listen to their music, and you're familiar with the music that came before them- you hear them clearly rehashing licks and riffs from other ppl's music quiet often. They put their own spin on it- and personally, I love it- but to say it was ahead of its time imo is just wrong. Steely Dan was ahead of the times, so was Peter Frampton- personally I preferred Zepplin to both of them but- they were ahead of the times. That's why they continued to play on into the 80s and Zepplin didn't. Zepplin defined 70s rock- and the 70s were over. Led Zepplin never once released a single- not one, in their whole career- that was unheard of after 76-78. There was not a record company around that would do it anymore- after Frampton Comes Alive- once they saw they could make big money marketing rock and roll to the mainstream, marketing the front men as sex symbols to teenage girls- rock was never the same again. Zeplin hated that shit and simply couldn't operate in that kind of environment. Up until Frampton Comes Alive all rock was played on the FM dial- which was tiny back then, almost underground- if you were successful, you got played on the AM dial- that's where Elvis, Johnny Cash, etc.- all that shit was played. Zeplin didn't want it- purposely avoided it- refused singles, refused any tv or movie appearances, refused anything that would give the appearance of them being a commercial band. They considered themselves serious artists, they played what they called "album rock" meaning they expected you to buy and listen to the whole album, hear the songs in context. And they leaned very hard on old delta blues and bluegrass/folk music.
I loved it when you said you’re loving Robert Plants vocals. PLEASE listen to the studio version of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” from their first album! You will blown away at his vocal ability because it’s a quieter song you can really hear how amazing he is…😊
They were the greatest band in terms of live improvisation. True musical masters. Honesty, I put them in the same box as Mozart, and I really really really love Mozart.
Led Zep was strongly Blues influenced. Jeff Beck was in the Yardbirds, and of course Jimmy Page was a part of that bands history. They could out blues the bluesist and out rock any rock band, but I never really thought so much of metal so much when thinking of the music of Led Zeppelin. The four members of this iconic band were in an entirely different dimension when they played together. So freaking tight!
The ONLY other contender is the Stones. But they are a distant second in my opinion. Greatest pop band, Beatles. Greatest rock band, Zeppelin. Greatest metal band, Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden.
The Beatles are actually the undisputed greatest rock band of all time, but Led Zeppelin is not terribly far behind them, along with Queen and Pink Floyd. Those four groups are just on another level from ANY other group or artist, taking their entire discography into account. But there's no chance that anybody is better than The Beatles. (To UCLAJediKnight: although The Beatles made pop music in their early albums, the rock music they made more than makes the difference. They are untouchable.)
@@MathewSteeleAtheology dude. We are all just stating opinions. Yours is no more valid than mine. Fwiw, the vast majority of people would say the Stones are better and more influential than Queen.
@@Lopyswine Yep I understand that value is subjective. Even if it's the vast majority, it's still subjective. But it's all good, and disagreement is healthy :)
One of the 2 best things about being a long term Led Zep fan is watching someone listening to a song for the first time. The best is listening to it yourself for the first time.
I have spent many years in attempt to accurately describe Led Zeppelin. This is the description I have been searching for. I couldn't possibly think of a more accurate and truthful explanation of this band.
Or you could say each one of them were parts of the whole, same description I like yours too!!! This is why they couldn't carry on without John Bonham.
Watching your expressions is almost as good as listening to Robert sing. I was born just 3 years before Led Zeppelin's first album came out. I discovered the band when I was in high school. I have never found any band better. Each member was perfect at their instrument and then when they came together, it was nothing short of magnificent. I agree with you that Robert sings with confidence. I have had the honor of seeing Robert in concert three times. His stage performance is mesmerizing. Watching others understand this and be amazed as well is magical.
I spent my teenage years where I would just sit on the floor just communing with Led Zeppelin's music. Robert Plant's voice made my toes curl and it is wonderful hearing a classically trained musician sit here and explain technically why his performance could do this. To this day hearing this music still has the same breathtaking effect.
The magic of Zep was the improvisation. Every night was different. They all worked off each other. When their drummer died, they didn't replace him, because they didn't feel they could capture the improvisation they had captured together. I love your channel.
The band Main Squeeze has a great version on youtube. I've been a Zep fan since the 70s but I think Main Squeeze matched them if only because it's fresh to me.
I might be too late to the comments to be seen but saying Led Zeppelin is “Metal” is missing an important detail…Metal didn’t really exist at this point and Zep as far as I know never once called themselves a “Heavy Metal” band. They were very exploratory and known to go off in many directions that interested them including Hard Rock, Blues, Folk, World Music/Reggae/Samba/Middle Eastern, Progressive Rock, Synth Rock/Pop, Jazz and more. Led Zeppelin came along and redefined what a popular rock band could be while being mostly very very different from The Beatles. Zep could Jam and change things on the fly and did that fearlessly in a way no other super popular band was doing. Heavy Metal is a term that came up when Zeppelin had been around for awhile and it became a genre to itself that was typically much narrower, was blues influenced but almost never included actual blues and lacked Zeppelin’s desire and ability to expand. Think of how different Good Times Bad Times, Whole Lotta Love, Boogie With Stu, Going to California, Four Sticks, Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand and Fool In The Rain are from each other…Progressive Rock bands like Emerson Lake & Palmer and some others overlap but they weren’t he heirs apparent to The Beatles the way Zep was. To understand Robert Plant it’s really necessary to delve into blues like Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf and early Rock like Little Richard and Elvis Presley with various Folk influences thrown in. Plant has been a major record collector his whole life and very eclectic. I’ll finish by suggesting you consider reacting to Led Zeppelin’s Fool In The Rain or The Rain Song and studio versions might be he best here because they really capture Plant’s vocal a little better IMHO. Really love your channel…thanks for your videos. 🔥🔥🔥
I’d be willing to call them a Progressive Rock band before calling them a Heavy Metal band. That said, they were definitely a multi-genre group and I’d be hard pressed to put them in any one category.
Zep were the heirs apparent to Cream. Bands such as Yes, Moody Blues, Deep Purple Mk I, CSN (especially with Y), ELO, and Chicago are much closer stylistically to The Beatles. Pop hooks, hit singles, and progressive melodic rock. I'll add Pink Floyd because of the Barrett era and Dark Side of the Moon.
Led Zeppelin may not have been a metal band perse but with 'Immigrant song ', they invented headbanging. My only fault with that song is it should be several minutes longer.
Heavy metal was definitely already around at this point. What is considered to be the first heavy metal album, Black Sabbath's, "Black Sabbath," came out in 1970. By the time of this performance, Black Sabbath already had 4 or 5 albums out, and other bands were starting to do the same thing. Led Zeppelin did have some songs that incorporated elements of heavy metal, Dazed and Confused and Immigrant Song come to mind, but they were never outright heavy metal as a band. I will say though, even though they weren't really a heavy metal band themselves, they inspired many future heavy metal bands.
Metal did exist, Black Sabbath started in 1968 same year as Led Zeppelin and Judas Priest started a year after in 69, it was just in it's infancy, Sabbath was the only one really making albums at around the same time as Zeppelin, then around 71 Alice Cooper started putting stuff out and Judas Priest was putting albums out, most of the stuff was not mainstream though, But by the 80's the underground metal scene was huge with all sorts of subgenres popping up, and you had a lot more mainstream metal
I remember hearing this at a house party in the summer of 1975, I was 14 years old that August it was when I really got into Led Zeppelin. And have never stopped listening to them for all these years. A lot of people just don't get it!
“We are unworthy of this man’s creative genius.” Well said! All 4 of them! And then together it was RIDICULOUS! I am and have always been a true Rock n’ Roll girl and Robert Plant is hands down one of THE BEST frontmen to ever grace the stage. Not just his incredible genius and amazing voice but his confidence and prowess and stage presence is almost unmatched. And the other front men that would make my top 5 list are all so different from each other and unique in their own ways. In any case, I LOVED this reaction! You were finally swept away in total and complete awe to the point of giddiness by Robert Plant and just the whole of the band, as I am every time I see them! I sooooo wish I could’ve been at that concert but it’s probably best I wasn’t or I would’ve possibly died right then! True artistry, musicianship and presence! RIP John Bonham. LOVE them! 🎸🤘🏼
“We are unworthy..." etc takes us to the metaphysical i.e. the "I" that is a collection of thoughts and feelings is unworthy or worth-less than the sense of what we really are; which we are reminded of with some works of art i.e. the collection of thoughts etc. is transcended (left behind/just observed) and that which remains is free/blissful/just watching. We listen enthusiastically to sounds outside of our internal system.
It really would have been something to see Led Zeppelin Live back in the day ! I watched the Original film in the Theatre back then and just saw it again for the 50th?? time a couple of days ago , it came on TV !! I have a few different versions of the soundtrack collected too ... I wore out my first Vinyl LP !!! 🤘😎🤘
What is your age, Gwen? I hear people today at 17 to 22 years old say how great Zeppelin was, fifty years later. When I was 22, I never once said to my mother, "Hey, that Benny Goodman band was the total jam ".
THIS!!! is my favorite Zeppelin song ever!!! The passion, the first time I saw them perform this live, I melted, hypnotized, I fell into my seat and couldn’t move, the tears!!! GOAT!! ☮️❤️
Led Zeppelin never performed any song the same way twice. Their improvisation, creativity and musicianship are unreachable. Thank you for picking my favorite live performance ever and my favorite Zeppelin song. You could dig into more songs from the live performance at MSG in 1973. Led Zeppelin are the fathers of any metal genre. It's one of these few moments I wish I was older, so I could see Led Zeppelin perform live.
Hearing music like this in the 70s was like seeing a new color for the first time. I think that people who grew up in the 90s and later heard all this by the time they were 8 have difficulty understanding why us "older " folks make such a big deal about 70s music. For me it was like the movie the Secret Garden. Going to a concert was like being admitted to a new world. We had never heard those sounds before. Discovering a new world. I saw Zeppelin in 77 at Baton Rouge I was11 years old. It left me speechless . I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
I am from Baton Rouge. My first concert at 11 was KISS. I missed that Zep show somehow. I grew up to learn what rock/ blues really was. I later got the music bug.i wanted to work for Rolling Stone, so I was 16 yrs selling "authorized" photos of the bands that came to Baton Rouge every weekend . I got their permission to take and to sell the photos. I later tracked down many bands, for photos, including the Firm in Daytona, Florida.I wanted a job at Rolling Stone and needed pictures of Paul and Jimmy. I met Paul on the beach all alone the next morning after the show. Forgot all about pictures Went back to the hotel met Jimmy and with his one call I had a job at Rolling Stone. We met up again at the New Orleans show at Absinthe House after the show. Jimmy had on a black bad ass tux with a red cumberbun. Jimmy is the really the sweetest man in Rock. I am hoping she will give a reaction to Paul Rodgers my all time favorite singer. Paul couldn't have been nicer, too. I never met Robert, one the few I never met, but we sorta danced together as he was on stage. Later I married only the man that sounded as good as Robert. He sang with zero music, 24/7. I was always was on the front row. You might have seen me, not many females dare to go to front row. It's dangerous. Speaking of Baton Rouge, did you get to see the special Lynyrd Skynyrd put on at the Comite River about 1985? I put their photos in Rolling Stone. Cool to see fans in a river listening to the band. All the survivors were there playing. After that never saw all 4 survivors together. I love our musical roots of Baton Rouge. Love LOVE me some blues, love me some Buddy Guy. Love Zep forever!
I can only imagine what it must have been like at the time. I was born in the 80s and got really into Zep and a lot of other stuff from the 60s and 70s around 2000. It blew me away even then, but I know that at the time it would have had even bigger impact, especially for those lucky enough to have seen them live. It was a golden age for music and if I ever found myself in possession of a time machine, I'd just be going to gigs.
Putting it into words: "It's so ridiculous!, Oh my goodness!, This is crazy!, Whaat!, He's amazing!, vocal slinky! just to name a few of your quotes...Love it! Nice catch on the 123,123 rhythms... Your so right, We ARE not worthy...One thing for sure is that Plant's expressions on vocal are equaled among all four members making this incredible journey...Thanks so much! and there's more..keep going...
As a teen growing up in the late 70's early 80's, I was fortunate enough to have two "types" of music to follow. Our class was either rock or disco. I grew up with Led Zeppelin as our fire in the woods, party music as well as other outstanding rock and roll royalty. To see your or someone new-to-the-party listeners reactions to this music, validates there was only one choice growing up.
Zeppelin is crazy in that multiple generations can say this. I grew up in the late 90s early 2000s and if I open my old year book right now to the class poll page it says number 1 most cited CD currently in their car deck was Led Zeppelin. Truly remarkable band.
Coming of age in the early ‘70s, I didn’t realize anything different or unique about Zeppelin; it was just music. It was *our* music. I didn’t know about the history of the blues, or its influence on British rock. I didn’t understand how the torch was passed from the Beetles to Led Zeppelin, or how Zeppelin completely changed the trajectory of rock music. In the early ‘70s we listened to Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Allman Brothers Band, Santana, Edgar Winter, Johnny Winter, ZZ Top, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, The Eagles, Doobie Brothers, CSNY, Steely Dan, Blue Oyster Cult, Fleeteood Mac, among others, but my go-to fallback was always Zeppelin. Always. I had no idea why, it just was. I was drawn to it. In recent years, revisiting the music of my youth, I’m beginning to understand the ‘why’. Diving deeper into the musicality of these four individuals, I’m beginning to understand why their music pulls emotional strings in ways that others don’t. The level of chemistry these guys had, I now realize, is exceedingly rare. Various “supergroups” never resonated with me the way Zeppelin always has. Talent and technical ability are important, but not sufficient. Together these guys had magic. Tons of talent, obviously, and the genius of Jimmy Page, but the chemistry they had was magic.
Definitely the world's greatest rock band playing a classic blues song with rock overtones. What they are doing musically and vocally is complex but they make it sound ridiculously simple. It is edgy, as blues should be, but very precise. outstanding.
I’m sorry, but this is a late comment. LATE. LATE COMMMENT. but I’ve been watching this 16x times right now. I’m a HUGE Zeppelin nerd and count this performance as one of my most transformative experiences I’ve ever had and me watching YOU going through it for the first time pausing at the exact same places I did back in the 70s, FOR THE SAME REASONS, resonated with me in words I cannot describe. Please just give me a “HELL YEAH” how amazing this performance is, in all of it’s crazy explorative ways it is done. I see you laugh and connect to it in a way, with all its slinkyness and confidence, which has for me been the most amazing confirmation of what this confident man delivered to me. Please admit this was one of the coolest and craziest fun performances you didn’t expect to review last year. Love you and all that you do!
Several masterclasses going on here. Each of the four musicians is a virtuoso in his own right. Each of them putting on an absolute clinic. Robert is freaking stupid amazing--and is probably my fave vocalist of all time. And Elizabeth, you put on a clinic on both instrumental and vocal analysis. Well done, sis, on one of my favorite songs ever. You're outstanding.
Hello! Late to the show but you are simply a delight❤ LZ fan for 40yrs and thank you for describing what I never have been able to put into words. Your facial expressions are Everything! I love that Robert left you a bit tingly. Have Fantastic day thank you for sharing.
50 years on and just look at the sheer, unbridled delight it inspires in her! I hope they see this. Let there be that much justice in the world at least. They deserve for her joy to make them as happy as it makes us.
The mood of this performance is so captivating. They give you plenty of time to get lost in the song. Just wonderful, one of my favorites. That opening riff grabs your attention, separating you, and then dives into that wonderful groove.
One of my top three favourite Led Zep songs! If you haven't done so already, listen to the original album version from "III" with headphones and you'll hear John Bonham's bass drum pedal squeaking away!
I fell in love with the Blues because of Zeppelin. Page, Beck, and Clapton...Three Brit guitarists dove deep into American Blues and added their twist. Whole new levels....into : Pop(Clapton), Rock(Page), and Jazz(rip Jeff Beck.) Add in Robert Plant,who learned the cadence of classic American Blues, and his guts to stretch it to its higher levels ever. Bonham elevated percussion. He attacked it with joy. Jones. Musical intuition. Bass...a genious to even anticipate and drive his band mates...fluent in ivory, and every genere of music, John Paul Jones.
Yes! Page and Plant give a master class in blues guitar as well as vocal-emulation-of-blues-guitar. Is Robert secretly a coloratura soprano himself in that shriek at 7 minutes in? My tin ears say "maybe". The unsung hero here is the surgeon who removed Plant's vocal nodules some months before this concert, and while he might not have had the power as in his youth, the whistle register still worked! Yet another reason I always laughed at Rolling Stone Album Guide's 2.5 star rating of The Song Remains the Same live album capture of this concert. While you're on this Zep streak, take in their rendition of "No Quarter", which may have an even better Pagey solo than this exquisite one.
My understanding has been that his surgery was in late 1973, after this performance, which was in July ‘73. There is, however, debate and tons of speculation over when the surgery actually occurred. I wonder if we’ll ever know for sure. Maybe when Elizabeth does her Robert Plant interview? 🤓
@@dalmac5978 Ha! Yeah, I've heard anywhere from early '72 to late '73. Regardless, Robert stayed great enough to last up until the present. Still has it. Also, this may be my fave Elizabeth reaction, topping King Diamond's Sleepless Nights. She now fully understands why we Zep fans revere and adore Robert. "Percy" may not always be right when he interprets a song, but he's spectacular often enough to be deemed Godlike. Now that I think of it, Elizabeth should take in some of the O2 concert for Ahmet Ertegun. O2 was Zeppelin saying, "We only want to appear for one last time, and we WILL remind you we are still the best ever." So, opening number "Good Times Bad Times", "For Your Life", "Song Remains the Same", "Kashmir" (again), "Since I've Been Loving You" (again), and especially "Nobody's Fault But Mine". What an exquisite concert, hearing them sound like they did in the 70s seemed an impossible task, but it's all there on their "Celebration Day" set. I can still remember me listening to it at work when the videos came out on Utoob...
Page'y's solo on No Quarter from the original The Song Remains the Same (re-masters/re-issue have butchered the solo) is my all time favourite Jimmy Page solo- bar none...
You’re so right on with his time. His confidence with his breaks and inflections make them. They wouldn’t happen without his guts to do it while having the musicians follow. It’s is pure chemistry and trust here
I feel privileged to have lived through this epoch, and seen so many of these amazing performers live, as they changed everyone's perception of "music."

Could you do a Greta Van Fleet analysis?
Page's guitar is unearthly. Plant's vocals are supernatural. Bonham's drums are exalted. Jone's keyboard mystical. Together - the band of the gods.
Well said. Perfect.

@@fishad09 internet rando has hot take, film at 11
She seems like she could be like the girl in front row who is totally getting off on Plant.
@@julrob97 hahah yes exactly!
Plant said in an interview that with the dynamics of the others he had to make his voice another musical instrument. They all keyed off of each other. Bonham said he followed and lead the guitars while they followed and lead him. This was a band of dynamics that fused together instead of over stepping each other. There will never be a band with these dynamics and spontaneous, matching creativity. Led Zepplin will forever be the best.
I will say that even though I think you are absolutely right, it makes me sad to know that we have passed the pinnacle of this kind of performance, that nothing will match it.
каждый великий из вокалистов делает свой голос одним из инструментов,в том числе и Гилан,и Дио,
You said it. Zeppelin is by far the beginning, and greatest band. They are the pinnacle of rock history. Plants voice just brings out the beauty of Pages guitar, Jones keyboard, Bonzos drums. There has to be devine intervention when they all found each other. I started listening to them when 2 came out. I would steal my brother album and listen to them.
@@agileist 9
@@Auntiep61 Robert Plant was asked to sit in for a singer from another band, pre-Zeppelin, that couldn't make their show. Page was told about his style and went to hear him. Within the first minute of their first rehearsal Page said he knew they were going to be good.
No dancers...no fireworks...no video in the background...and still the most mesmerizing performance you will ever see.
Cause they got ship loads of god gifted talent
Plant in his prime was the best front man of all time. Zep still gives chills after 40 years of listening. Pure magic and power. This will never be replicated. My biggest regret is that I never got to see them live.
I was lucky to see them twice Mind Blown
Luckily at age 14 I took a ride on the back of a hardtail Sportster 140 mi of old broken concrete 2 Lane State highway to see them in St Louis. On the bike we cut through the lines of cars in order to park and smoked with everybody along the way in the parking lot and the crazy thing was that a good 10% of the people that came to the show were expecting them to sound like their albums and got up and left. That just made more room for us to move forward. Early Zeppelin live was nothing compared to their later live performances but it was still fabulous!
I was lucky enough to catch Page/Plant in the 90s.
...and he was discovered a bar singing his heart out.
There are two voices crying out here, Robert’s voice and Jimmy’s guitar, weaving around each other as they did so well live. And the bass keyboards and drums are the dynamic kick in the guts. Love it. This is one of my desert island songs. So glad you listened to this one.
Yeah, and if you listen under Page and Plant the platform that Bonham and Jones build is simply amazing isn't it? I have told the bride when I go to the other side play this at the party, along with Stairway, The Lemon Song and of course, Ramble On. Then when we go to either the furnace, or the green plot put the CD, thumb, or what ever media in with me. Be well and safe, peace to you and yours.
The best rock vocalist ever. A blues vocalist by style, but with such an amazing range. I'm 63 now and my biggest regret musically is that i never saw Zepp in concert.
I was fortunate enough to hear them in 69, shortly before the release of their first album. Believe it or not, they were the warm-up act for Vanilla Fudge. I knew Jimmy Page from the Yardbirds, but that's all. I don't have to tell you how they blew everyone, including VF, away. So many people left after Zep, I got to move down to front row for Vanilla Fudge. I've been to many concerts including The Beatles, Stones and even Hendrix, but this is the concert I remember the most.
I might be old, but I got to live through the music of the greatest bands of all time! My daughters always tell me how jealous they are!
Saw them in Adelaide as a teenager…..and, of course, it was brilliant. I dragged my cousin along with me and I’m sure she was thinking, ‘who the hell is this group, am I going to hate it’. Our musical preferences were different at the time as I had already been more into blues and the burgeoning heavy metal scene. Needless to say, she loved it and another fan was created.
Same here, though I'm a couple of years younger than you.
It was days before their Buffalo NY concert, when John Bonham (the BEST drummer that ever lived) passed away. I was supposed to go to that concert. One of life's greatest regrets.
I’m the same age as you, and I totally regret not seeing them live in concert. They take the songs from their albums and slightly change them every performance. Best rock band ever. 4 incredible talents that blessed us for 10 years with unearthly music. They are Rock Gods. Led Zeppelin.
Led Zeppelin is an example of a band where all 4 members are the absolute best at what they do. I was born after the broke up l, but I’m glad I got to see page and plant in 97, not the same but still an experience.
me too I am 50 now, and saw Unleaded and walking into Clarksville
That page/plant tour was outstanding. I have been a zeppelin fan since 1975 when I was eight years old and was very happy to have seen that. There is a tribute band called “get the lead out“ that is the best I have seen from a musicianship standpoint, I think there are six guys in the band and none of them look like Led Zeppelin guys, but their objective is to play the music perfectly. They come pretty close!
Walking into Clarksdale for me. I feel so lucky to have seen them live.
Same here.
I was alive well before Bonham's tragic death but never saw them live. I saw Robert Plant live in Hershey Pa in 1988 and was in the front row, he sounded amazing but I had to keep looking back to watch all the girls taking their tops off lol.
This is not only Led Zep's best song, but it is the best song of its genre. It is simply THE BEST
I appreciate seeing a younger generation of people dig the musicianship of led Zeppelin. They were truly a force of nature. They were panned by critics initially but they had a huge arena level following and they really created their own rules when it came to the business end of it. If you listen to their live music, you can appreciate that they never did a song the same way twice. They were improvisational. One of the greatest rock acts ever
John Paul Jones is also playing the bass part with foot pedals while playing the keys. Super impressive
JPJ was the secret weapon......
@@tomyork6311 He could play anything.
@@1skyofrog and did....well
@@tomyork6311 The heart and soul of this remarkable band, certainly. Absurdly talented along with the rest.
Some times I feel his contribution has been overlooked. But we can't forget that that Led Zep was four parts equally.
There’s 7 billion people in the world. And there’s one Robert Plant.
His Voice was a gift from God who gave him vocals no other human has ever had (Powerful beyond words to explain) A beautiful human being humble ,wise musically gifted all 4 of them :D
Agree my hubby has same bday as Jimmy page
Bob😅
@@John-uo2lb there is also only 1 you!! I bet your also amazing in some way😀
When Plant startssinging the band is quiet and then just before Plant ends his opening howl, you hear Bonham cueing the rest of the band with a slight opening of his hihat. So amazing how this band acts almost as one organism so it all comes together.
Like the one organism image.
Your animated reactions are exactly how Led Zeppelin moves my soul. Every single listen.
My thoughts exactly! My very 1st concert in August of 1971 was Led Zeppelin at the Sam Houston Coliseum. No backup group and they played 3+ hours. Been to many other concerts but none can match that one. They are timeless.
listen again to "workenn" ; sung so it rhymes with "sevenn" and "elevenn" ( best way to describe Robert Plant's GOLDEN VOICE = a cross between Elvis Presley and Rod Stewart , with a sprinkle of Mario Lanza ) 💡
In concert, Zeppelin almost never did any song the same way twice. Their ability to improv and play off each other was legendary. Keep in mind that these are four virtuosos, some of the best musicians ever to play at any level, and as a collective, they were great songwriters, as well. Because of these skills, they could and often did write in many genres, often times improvising a new song on the spot or songs that were written on one take from scratch. Simply one of the most amazing bands you'll ever encounter, a true one-of-a-kind experience.
So well said!
They had the "MAGIC" It's so missing in a lot of contemporary music. Truly my favorite ban since forever. First 45 I bought Whole Lotta Love ❤️ First Album was LZ II . The Best ever IMHO
Yes, well said.
I can’t agree with this. Maybe city to city might be different. However, this soundtrack is either from another night as The Song Remains the Same film version or another performance all together on this tour.
Watch
ua-cam.com/video/1gHlbHtdVLU/v-deo.html
This is from the film and you can tell it’s a different performance because of very subtle differences in Jimmy’s solos and when Robert sings the “that ain’t right” line. But otherwise they’re so closely rehearsed that the maker of this video was able to sync video from the film to the audio of what I’m guessing is either really good bootleg work or something off an album. Perhaps even the soundtrack version.
Greatest band to ever walk the earth, we are lucky to have shared time with them.
Here i am at 52, listening for more than 30 years to Zeppelin, still having tears rolling down my cheeks when hearing and seeing this.
I'm 69, same here,there & everywhere.
@@pete3883beatles refrence
“I feel like we are unworthy of this man’s creative genius”.
You are correct madame. This is the essence of getting the Led out.
I am a 58yr old man who has been listening to Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin for 47 years and I always get chills when I hear him.
I'm 70 years old and I was born on the same hospital ward in West Bromwich where Robert Plant was born in1948. I've been listening to Led Zeppelin from their beginning, seen them live in concert and met Robert a few times in person, one of the times we were chatting up the bar at my local pub in West Bromwich.
Yeah ! Me too! The best! 🤟😝💗
Try 61! This song still puts chills up my spine put a Blu-ray in and crank it up on your TV. That is if you have speakers connected just amazing.
I met Robert Plant in July. I've been listening to this seductive voice for 45+ years, and my inner 15-year-old self was losing her freaking mind. Absolute rock god.
Tell us more! 😄
I'm SO Jealous
Oooh,❤
I met him on the street 10 years ago in NYC when he was here to do the presser for "Celebration Day". He...walked up to...ME! ... and said hello. You think you are going to say/ask all the questions of a lifetime if you ever meet him, but in reality, you are about to piss your pants and all you can do is take a knee and say- MY LIEGE! and you lose yourself. Well.....I lost MY self! haha. But the most amazing 5-10 minutes of my life.
Tell more! What was he like? I've heard from most quarters that he's quite down to earth.
Anything Led Zeppelin is a privilege to hear, period! Voice, guitar, base guitar and drums put together is magic!
After "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", this one is one of my all time favs of theirs. Cannot wait for this reaction!!
I agree!
Every time I hear a zep song I get goose bumps and tears in my eyes. This music is so emotional. I alway talk about my favorite bands and i comeback to Led Zeppelin and realize nobody else has, had or will ever have what they had, Nothing comes close to them.
YES!!!!!!!!!!
Same!!
Need a “babe I’m gonna leave you” reaction next
People are finally figuring out what they have been missing and why Led Zeppelin and Rock will live forever!
Page and Plant are perfect together, if you listen to the original, you'll see how much they're improvising and driving each other towards different places. It's a common trait of Zeppeling songs, specially live for the phrasing of the guitar and voice to interwoven together almost as one.
Dont forget Bonham and John Paul Jones. Theyre all superstars, and its a common joke that when you assemble an all star rock band you just end up with Led Zeppelin
The sum of the parts are greater than the whole!
I think it was John Paul Jones that said that in the studio, this (zeppelin III) and Black Dog (zeppelin IV) were the 2 hardest songs they ever recorded to get nailed down
I think the studio version should e been done first, it is such a masterpiece...
@@ekaram63 yes...very well said!
As an old guy raised on Led Zeppelin, I really enjoy your reactions, Elizabeth! And your professional analysis and breakdown of Plant's vocals reminds me that as an adolescent I was MOVED by Zep's songs and Robert's voice, but could not fully appreciate all that he brought to every tune. Thanks.
I’ve watched this performance a thousand times and listened to it countless more, and I still get goosebumps
Usually brings me to tears.
I was at this gig! My two buddies and I walked out of that show with ear-to-ear grins. A night I'll never forget as long as I live.
"He plays it by emotion" That is a most correct statement about Jimmy Page. Thanks for listening to Page's parts as well as Plant's.
Page was the main reason the band was formed. He was the main head brains behind the whole thing. 🔊🎶🎸🥁
Yeah when he felt high he played like he was high XD
Nearly as good as Rory Gallagher, a fellow Irishman,
@@proinseasburke2681 Hallo Irishman, thanks for mentioning Rory. I haven't heard of him probably because I just know the popular bands like Zeppelin, Stones, Queen, Elton John, David Bowie, T-Rex. Did Rory play in any mega bands I've missed or write any mega pop tunes others played and made famous? Thanks 👍
Amen to that. Page. So unique. Incomparable. Great.
I saw Robert in concert three years ago, he's still got it. During a quiet spot, some guy in the audience yelled out "you're a golden god Robert!" He wasn't wrong 😁
Ha ha .. yes .. spot on!
I LOVE this song, this live performance is 🔥. The way Page's guitar sings along with Plant's voice ahhhh so good
men have difficulty showing their emotions. :o)
You will definitely not regret a deep dive into Led Zeppelin. An amazing journey from start to finish
True because of how their music evolved from Led 1 to Physical Graffitti. Deep dive are a must
@@danb.6294 In Through the Out Door*
I highly recommend a chronological listen from the first album to the last.
You can tell there is magic woven into Zeppelin's music. I go into a trance when I listen to them.
I believe they call it Magick with a K.
Early on Led Zeppelin was primarily a blues based rock band. They basically took the blues and really electrified it. They are not actually a heavy metal band but had a lot of aspects that influenced metal groups, especially those of the 80's. Robert Plant did have voice issues over the years, but to this very day is still very creative and can "squeal" when he wants too.
One of Plant's greatest influences was Elvis Presley, and it shows in a lot of his work.
@@JackDaniels10101 no, more like the music Presley covered and got into.
@@saemikneu Elvis listened to a lot of music, as did everyone in his time and before. Music is derivative. There are no originals, just in case you mention Chuck Berry, etc. Some took from their influences and took music to another level, as The Beatles did.
I won't say that Robert Plant is the greatest vocalist of all time, but then again, why not? HE IS MY FAVORITE.
Elizabeth,I'm 66yrs old,saw Zep twice back in the day as they have always been THE band for me. But wow! You have given me an all new appreciation for Robert. I knew he was great but 50yrs later he still brings it albeit a little more mellow. Thank you.
Lucky you..👍 I was born about 12 years too late
I was overcome with tears several times while watching this. I grew up on Led Zeppelin in the 70s, and all the passing decades have only increased my awe of this band. As you said "We are not worthy."
I'm 17.30mins in and welled up twice already 😂
Dear Elizabeth, if anyone else would pause a reaction and rewind so many times I would leave immediately, but your analyses are so interesting, educational, and just plain fun that I feel your love and understanding for the music more than I hear the song that you are reacting to. It's not a reaction at all, actually it's like a thesis every time. Thank you so much!
Yes, it’s all about context. Plus almost everyone watching this will have seen it a million times before anyway, so pausing frequently for analysis is fine.
@@kevinmcfarlane2752 Yes, context and perspective.

Before you know it, tears are running down your cheek and you didnt even know it until they fell off your cheek and hit your leg. I dare you not to have tears listening to this song, amd a step further, watching Elizabeths childlike reactions of exhilaration.
"The Song Remains the Same / The Rain Song" from the same concert is another great showcase of their collective talents.
YES YES YES PLEASE !!!
Oh man the studio The Rain Song is just so perfect too.
Defintely!
Yessss. Rain song is my favorite zeppelin song.
The only unfortunate thing about this song is on the album you can hear the kick pedal squeaking.
I've never actually witnessed someone having an eargasm before but you just did, Led Zeppelin has been a part of most of my 59 years on earth and for good reason, they're simply genius.
The most incredible thing about Zeppelin is actually how tight they sound, while playing so loosely. This is a mark of real skill and a deep connection with the music and the other musicians in the band. You feel they could just go off in another direction any second...
Zeppelin is STILL the best rock band to have walked the earth, period!
Except for Deep Purple a better band

Makes you realize why they stopped playing after Bonham' death. The chemistry between him and Page is incredible. Page only turn around once right near the end.
I got to see Page and Plant, back in the 90's!! Thank the gods and goddesses!!
When you know that Bonham’s approach to Zeppelin’s music was in most cases to follow Page, you can really see it once you know what to look for. This is especially in evidence live and it’s a testament to their greatness that their live playing didn’t really mirror the studio arrangements. It did where it needed to be, but their take was that the songs were never finished and the improvisation that went on live is just an example of their musical abilities and their creativity.
But Bonham could also read the other members so well.
And plenty of practice was had to make these albums perfect.
@@lori6115 Yes! me too. I saw them at Jones beach Theater in Wantagh, NY i think "97"
Bonham and Page could read each other's minds.
That confidence that Plant shows I am sure come from not thinking you are the best rock band on the planet, but knowing it. Not thinking you are surrounded by good musicians, but knowing you are surrounded by some of the best rock musicians of all time, totally in sync at that moment. From knowing you could point to any woman in the audience and not only know she would rush to meet you backstage after the show, but that her boyfriend would literally push her towards the backstage. For that 10 or so years, Led Zeppelin occupied that rarefied air and they deserved it and they did not disappoint. Never say never, but I can't see how any band could again be who they were at that time.
Perfectly said...they were from another planet I think...jmho lol
This is one of the many examples of why Led Zeppelin was named greatest rock band so many year's.
One must respect JPJ and Bonzo locking down the beats, providing space for Robert and Jimmy to cast their magic.
Im just discovering Led Zeppelin. ..omg what a ride I cant get enough.
Still high on that infinite supply? 😂
Be cautious, it could blow your Mind .
Hold on tightly, mi amigo !
Robert's duet with Sandy Denny on "The Battle of Evermore" is something to behold.
my brother's absolute favorite led zeppelin song. (r.i.p. billy 😢)
Truth, and since Sandy isn't with us anymore, his duets with Alison Krauss are also mighty fine and will do nicely.
Only studio recording Led Zeppelin did with someone other than Robert Plant on vocals (he recorded multiple tracks for all other songs’ vocal harmonies).
@@boomerdell Since Sandy wasn't credited on the album jacket, I thought it was Robert singing falsetto. Hey, I was ten.
@@boomerdell nah, there was Jones and I think one other person on Whole Lotta Love
The studio version is a masterpiece, but I love seeing this footage of Plant and Page on stage. In their prime, they were the epitome of what it was to be Rock gods.
How The West Was Won Version or bust for me.
I agree, the studio version is the best... the guitar solos are perfect.. the live version a bit more improvised and occasionally loses the flow.
@@peterkassner3552 agreed... Try some other live versions though! Since I've Been Loving You fro BBC Sessions for instance. The vocals are on par with the album take.
There are some versions from bootlegs that are even (slightly) better, but of course the sound is rough.
The thing that makes this number stand out to me (and I'm a drummer, btw), is how everyone instinctively comes together again and again; seemingly out of nowhere. It's quite astounding, really. They are obviously very, VERY well-rehearsed.
I know this is supposed to be about the vocals, but Jimmy Page’s guitar is outstanding
And as always John Bonhams drums are overlooked.
Yup fully owns....
Some of the best blues guitar you'll ever hear.
Absolutely
This is such fun to hear someone analyze what we've all known was amazing for years. And to put it into musical terms with her articulate approach. Laughing with joy while watching her enjoy her early exposure to some of the best stuff there is.
This still remains one of the greatest live performances by any band ever! Still gives chills and goosebumps of joy every time I experience it.
And to think they did this show with hardly any prior notice and no time. So glad I got to see them. They are the best of the best unmatched. Best concert I ever saw.
In my opinion Led Zeppelin is the greatest band in history this is what you get when you put four master musicians together . You will never hear this sound in another band indeed .
Here the band are 4 years and 5 albums on from their debut release and reaching the zenith of their powers. Live, this song give Page and Plant the perfect opportunity to stretch their incredible slow minor blues chops and the way in which their phrasing has become honed and intertwined is remarkable. Page repeats phrases to perfectly echo Plant's inventiveness, whist never straying too far from the blues greats that they know so well. No performance of this song was probably ever the same and and its a masterclass of technique and feel and sets them apart from the other rock bands of that decade. You're never in doubt that you're listening to Zeppelin but the roots go deep and are laid out for all to experience. Sublime.
Here at MSG 1973, it would be about 6 years, not 4, since they founded Zeppelin in 1968. Still slightly early in the band's success though.
@@stephenv1832 '4 years and 5 albums on from their debut release' not from when they formed. 1969 to 1973 is 4 years.Any way 1968 to 1973 is FIVE years. Man.
@@petergoddard1960 they had song releases going before 69 though, as the new yardbirds, but with all the zeppelin members
I feel like you have to hear the original recorded version off the album to fully appreciate the improv going on here. Truly brilliant
A few decades ago, a love long gone, under the stars on a warm summer night and this song. Powerful memories. No words were needed; just this song and the powers of the universe. Powerful. Glad you liked it.
Such a joy watching you fall "in love" with Robert Plant & Led Zeppelin in real time. They're THAT good! Keep the Zep coming Elizabeth. You've only scratched the tip of the Zep iceberg!
The thing I love most about a live Zeppelin performance is, like Joplin's singing before them and SRV's playing after them, you get to see raw creativity during the performance. It's not the result of practice and polish, bottled for your enjoyment. They start with basically an outline, and then they're literally not playing the same thing even once. It's just genius and skill, creating in the moment and for the moment, and you're welcomed to just take the ride with them. A lot of bands and singers are wonderful to listen to and enjoy, but it's a very few who invite you to go...beyond, and discover how it will unfold right along with them. So special. Really enjoy your channel!
This is a blues song. One of the greatest of all time. This is not metal. The studio version is perfect. In addition to Plant, Page and Bonzo on the Mt Rushmore of their respective instruments. Jones' ability to set the bassline and add just the right touch with multiple instruments across their entire catalog is awesome. One of the top bands in the history of rock/blues music. Love your videos and watching you expand your musical horizons.
The original boxed set liner had an article that described them as "Ultra Blues"
The segue at the beginning of the song was typical of Led Zeppelin moving from one song to the next without introduction. I think they didn't want to interrupt the flow of the music. Plant was very versatile in his presentation, i view his work as being almost jazz like in his ability to sing whatever or however he felt was necessary in the moment. Impromptu, improv, whatever you want to call it, Plant was able to even make a mistaken note sound as if he meant to hit the wrong note. He is a performer. A chameleon who is able to change his musical spots into stripes on a whim. I had the privilege to see Led Zeppelin in San Diego in San Diego in June of 1977. Bonhom was so drunk that he fell off of his stool during the acoustic set. He was taken off stage until the end of that set, then he ran back onstage as if he had not had a drink that night. It must have been the miracles of modern street medicine at work. This was to be the last San Diego stop for Led Zeppelin. Bonhom dies of alcohol poisoning the following year or two after that San Diego performance. Plant, Page, Jones and Bonhom brought so many tools to their trade that they could have played Disney songs and their fans would have loved those songs as well. Plant continues to be a performer and his music is groundbreaking as he works through his seventies. He still delivers the old songs in new ways as he works his voice like any journeyman would use his tool. We are able to see and hear him perform even today and I would suggest that anyone who has not been to a Plant performance to correct that deficiency in their musical diet. Get your dose of vitamin P as soon as possible. You will be glad you did.
As an aside, towards the end of the song the videographer zoomed in on Plant and the look on his face as he was watching Page play his solo was exquisitely Plant as he was caught in a moment of amazement of Pages virtuosity... He enjoyed Pages work as much as any of us did. Even he was caught up in the moment, but being the pro he was he recovered in time to finish the song in his own inimitable manner. I loved the band then... and still enjoy their work now. Now and again fate, or chance, brings together perfection. This was an example of that perfection recorded for posterity. Thank you for your review. You obviously enjoy, or should I say Love, the work of the dynamic Plant?? Yes, you do. Welcome to the club.
Thank you so much. At 63, "Since I've Been Loving You", is perhaps my favorite Led Zeppelin song of all time. I think what most of us hear, is a classic Led Zeppelin song, with a tremendous Blues influence. However, your wonderful ability to describe this performance in a way that makes sense to your listeners, from the multiple layers of Robert Plant’s vocals, to John Paul Jones keyboards and of course, Jimmy Page’s fantastic guitar work, so it’s like hearing it, for the very first time. I truly enjoy watching your reactions to this classic song, because I think I had similar reactions the first time I heard it, laying on top of my bed with my headphones on.
Wholeheartedly agree with you and my other fav is Achilles last stand
Let's not forget "I'm Gonna Crawl". That is a very unique blues song.
i can't tell you which one is my favorite because i like all of 'em... including the bonus songs in that msg concert
Some things can't be taught, alot of the great players and vocalist didn't read music. No auto tuners or karaoke here ! This is when music was truly inspired. I remember , good memories.
Jimmy Page could read music. He made a living playing advertising jingles for a time between bands before LZ. Only technically astute readers are auditioned for jingles, believe it or not
when you compare the old bands with new ones, you could only cry what the youth from today has to listen...
Yup! 👍
John Paul Jones went to music school,Jimmy Page was a studio musician who could most definitely read music.
@@seelenwinter6662 there's plenty of good stuff nowadays as well
of course nothing like led zeppelin, which is a legendary, music genre-defining supergroup, but yeeeeeeah there's good music!
Don't forget that this band was clearly ahead of their time. We are fortunate to share their gifts. They could take their music to levels that many still today are trying to reach. Truly climbers of mountains.
This is a remake of a much, much older song. I loved Zepplin, grew up listening to them- but they were not "ahead of their time" - they were firmly anchored in the old blues and classic folk traditions. White Summer, Black Mountain Side was a remake as well- a combination of two old Irish folk songs. And if you listen to their music, and you're familiar with the music that came before them- you hear them clearly rehashing licks and riffs from other ppl's music quiet often. They put their own spin on it- and personally, I love it- but to say it was ahead of its time imo is just wrong.
Steely Dan was ahead of the times, so was Peter Frampton- personally I preferred Zepplin to both of them but- they were ahead of the times. That's why they continued to play on into the 80s and Zepplin didn't. Zepplin defined 70s rock- and the 70s were over. Led Zepplin never once released a single- not one, in their whole career- that was unheard of after 76-78. There was not a record company around that would do it anymore- after Frampton Comes Alive- once they saw they could make big money marketing rock and roll to the mainstream, marketing the front men as sex symbols to teenage girls- rock was never the same again.
Zeplin hated that shit and simply couldn't operate in that kind of environment. Up until Frampton Comes Alive all rock was played on the FM dial- which was tiny back then, almost underground- if you were successful, you got played on the AM dial- that's where Elvis, Johnny Cash, etc.- all that shit was played. Zeplin didn't want it- purposely avoided it- refused singles, refused any tv or movie appearances, refused anything that would give the appearance of them being a commercial band. They considered themselves serious artists, they played what they called "album rock" meaning they expected you to buy and listen to the whole album, hear the songs in context. And they leaned very hard on old delta blues and bluegrass/folk music.
I loved it when you said you’re loving Robert Plants vocals. PLEASE listen to the studio version of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You” from their first album! You will blown away at his vocal ability because it’s a quieter song you can really hear how amazing he is…😊
Super stoked for this one!!!!!
They were the greatest band in terms of live improvisation. True musical masters. Honesty, I put them in the same box as Mozart, and I really really really love Mozart.
The absolute Legend that is Led Zeppelin, Ladies and Gentleman.
Led Zep was strongly Blues influenced. Jeff Beck was in the Yardbirds, and of course Jimmy Page was a part of that bands history. They could out blues the bluesist and out rock any rock band, but I never really thought so much of metal so much when thinking of the music of Led Zeppelin. The four members of this iconic band were in an entirely different dimension when they played together. So freaking tight!
Now you know why they are the undisputed greatest rock band of all time.
It’s disputed. But anyone who disputes it is a fool haha
The ONLY other contender is the Stones. But they are a distant second in my opinion. Greatest pop band, Beatles. Greatest rock band, Zeppelin. Greatest metal band, Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden.
The Beatles are actually the undisputed greatest rock band of all time, but Led Zeppelin is not terribly far behind them, along with Queen and Pink Floyd. Those four groups are just on another level from ANY other group or artist, taking their entire discography into account. But there's no chance that anybody is better than The Beatles. (To UCLAJediKnight: although The Beatles made pop music in their early albums, the rock music they made more than makes the difference. They are untouchable.)
@@MathewSteeleAtheology dude. We are all just stating opinions. Yours is no more valid than mine. Fwiw, the vast majority of people would say the Stones are better and more influential than Queen.
@@Lopyswine Yep I understand that value is subjective. Even if it's the vast majority, it's still subjective. But it's all good, and disagreement is healthy :)
One of the 2 best things about being a long term Led Zep fan is watching someone listening to a song for the first time. The best is listening to it yourself for the first time.
Led Zeppelin were the most cohesive band ever. Each member felt like different limbs of the same body.
I have spent many years in attempt to accurately describe Led Zeppelin. This is the description I have been searching for. I couldn't possibly think of a more accurate and truthful explanation of this band.
Or you could say each one of them were parts of the whole, same description I like yours too!!! This is why they couldn't carry on without John Bonham.
Those boys are real musicians, a skill, which few bands ever reach. Long live Led Zeppelin, definitely the best rock band of all time!
Watching your expressions is almost as good as listening to Robert sing. I was born just 3 years before Led Zeppelin's first album came out. I discovered the band when I was in high school. I have never found any band better. Each member was perfect at their instrument and then when they came together, it was nothing short of magnificent. I agree with you that Robert sings with confidence. I have had the honor of seeing Robert in concert three times. His stage performance is mesmerizing. Watching others understand this and be amazed as well is magical.
I spent my teenage years where I would just sit on the floor just communing with Led Zeppelin's music. Robert Plant's voice made my toes curl and it is wonderful hearing a classically trained musician sit here and explain technically why his performance could do this. To this day hearing this music still has the same breathtaking effect.
Jimmy is EVERYTHING!
Fell in love with him 45 years ago at 10 yrs old.
I was just thinking the same exact thing and how fast time has gone! Peace🙏🎶😎
1969 for me.
The magic of Zep was the improvisation. Every night was different. They all worked off each other. When their drummer died, they didn't replace him, because they didn't feel they could capture the improvisation they had captured together. I love your channel.
The album version is THE version. Gives me chills every time.
I love the live versions but Plant's voice on the studio version is other worldly.
This song is best on the album and No quarter is best live.
The band Main Squeeze has a great version on youtube. I've been a Zep fan since the 70s but I think Main Squeeze matched them if only because it's fresh to me.
@@brlyjo This, 100% Only time a Led Zeppelin cover blew me away like the original did.
@@spambaconeggspamspam now I'm intrigued, I will have to go watch it.
This is one of the greatest blues songs of all time. It's a rock band, playing a blues song. 💙
I honestly think an argument could be made that Blues music is the deep roots of most rock.
place 2: The Bluest Blues by Alvin Lee
@@myrany8407 your 100 percent correct
It's a blues band playing rock!
Similar to When the levee breaks one of my all-time favorites.
I might be too late to the comments to be seen but saying Led Zeppelin is “Metal” is missing an important detail…Metal didn’t really exist at this point and Zep as far as I know never once called themselves a “Heavy Metal” band. They were very exploratory and known to go off in many directions that interested them including Hard Rock, Blues, Folk, World Music/Reggae/Samba/Middle Eastern, Progressive Rock, Synth Rock/Pop, Jazz and more.
Led Zeppelin came along and redefined what a popular rock band could be while being mostly very very different from The Beatles. Zep could Jam and change things on the fly and did that fearlessly in a way no other super popular band was doing. Heavy Metal is a term that came up when Zeppelin had been around for awhile and it became a genre to itself that was typically much narrower, was blues influenced but almost never included actual blues and lacked Zeppelin’s desire and ability to expand. Think of how different Good Times Bad Times, Whole Lotta Love, Boogie With Stu, Going to California, Four Sticks, Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand and Fool In The Rain are from each other…Progressive Rock bands like Emerson Lake & Palmer and some others overlap but they weren’t he heirs apparent to The Beatles the way Zep was.
To understand Robert Plant it’s really necessary to delve into blues like Robert Johnson, Howlin’ Wolf and early Rock like Little Richard and Elvis Presley with various Folk influences thrown in. Plant has been a major record collector his whole life and very eclectic.
I’ll finish by suggesting you consider reacting
to Led Zeppelin’s Fool In The Rain or The Rain Song and studio versions might be he best here because they really capture Plant’s vocal a little better IMHO. Really love your channel…thanks for your videos. 🔥🔥🔥
I’d be willing to call them a Progressive Rock band before calling them a Heavy Metal band.
That said, they were definitely a multi-genre group and I’d be hard pressed to put them in any one category.
Zep were the heirs apparent to Cream. Bands such as Yes, Moody Blues, Deep Purple Mk I, CSN (especially with Y), ELO, and Chicago are much closer stylistically to The Beatles. Pop hooks, hit singles, and progressive melodic rock. I'll add Pink Floyd because of the Barrett era and Dark Side of the Moon.
Led Zeppelin may not have been a metal band perse but with 'Immigrant song ', they invented headbanging.
My only fault with that song is it should be several minutes longer.
Heavy metal was definitely already around at this point. What is considered to be the first heavy metal album, Black Sabbath's, "Black Sabbath," came out in 1970. By the time of this performance, Black Sabbath already had 4 or 5 albums out, and other bands were starting to do the same thing. Led Zeppelin did have some songs that incorporated elements of heavy metal, Dazed and Confused and Immigrant Song come to mind, but they were never outright heavy metal as a band. I will say though, even though they weren't really a heavy metal band themselves, they inspired many future heavy metal bands.
Metal did exist, Black Sabbath started in 1968 same year as Led Zeppelin and Judas Priest started a year after in 69, it was just in it's infancy, Sabbath was the only one really making albums at around the same time as Zeppelin, then around 71 Alice Cooper started putting stuff out and Judas Priest was putting albums out, most of the stuff was not mainstream though, But by the 80's the underground metal scene was huge with all sorts of subgenres popping up, and you had a lot more mainstream metal
I remember hearing this at a house party in the summer of 1975, I was 14 years old that August it was when I really got into Led Zeppelin. And have never stopped listening to them for all these years. A lot of people just don't get it!
“We are unworthy of this man’s creative genius.” Well said! All 4 of them! And then together it was RIDICULOUS! I am and have always been a true Rock n’ Roll girl and Robert Plant is hands down one of THE BEST frontmen to ever grace the stage. Not just his incredible genius and amazing voice but his confidence and prowess and stage presence is almost unmatched. And the other front men that would make my top 5 list are all so different from each other and unique in their own ways. In any case, I LOVED this reaction! You were finally swept away in total and complete awe to the point of giddiness by Robert Plant and just the whole of the band, as I am every time I see them! I sooooo wish I could’ve been at that concert but it’s probably best I wasn’t or I would’ve possibly died right then! True artistry, musicianship and presence! RIP John Bonham. LOVE them! 🎸🤘🏼
One of the greatest rock and roll bands ever! Hands down
“We are unworthy..." etc takes us to the metaphysical i.e. the "I" that is a collection of thoughts and feelings is unworthy or worth-less than the sense of what we really are; which we are reminded of with some works of art i.e. the collection of thoughts etc. is transcended (left behind/just observed) and that which remains is free/blissful/just watching. We listen enthusiastically to sounds outside of our internal system.
It really would have been something to see Led Zeppelin Live back in the day !
I watched the Original film in the Theatre back then and just saw it again for the 50th?? time a couple of days ago , it came on TV !!
I have a few different versions of the soundtrack collected too ... I wore out my first Vinyl LP !!! 🤘😎🤘
What is your age, Gwen? I hear people today at 17 to 22 years old say how great Zeppelin was, fifty years later. When I was 22, I never once said to my mother, "Hey, that Benny Goodman band was the total jam ".
I just turned 50. I’ve been listening to Zeppelin since I was 14 years old or so. 🤘🏼
THIS!!! is my favorite Zeppelin song ever!!! The passion, the first time I saw them perform this live, I melted, hypnotized, I fell into my seat and couldn’t move, the tears!!! GOAT!! ☮️❤️
Led Zeppelin never performed any song the same way twice. Their improvisation, creativity and musicianship are unreachable. Thank you for picking my favorite live performance ever and my favorite Zeppelin song. You could dig into more songs from the live performance at MSG in 1973. Led Zeppelin are the fathers of any metal genre. It's one of these few moments I wish I was older, so I could see Led Zeppelin perform live.
The virtuosity of Zeppelin are incredible...and that song it's My favorite...
Hearing music like this in the 70s was like seeing a new color for the first time. I think that people who grew up in the 90s and later heard all this by the time they were 8 have difficulty understanding why us "older " folks make such a big deal about 70s music. For me it was like the movie the Secret Garden. Going to a concert was like being admitted to a new world. We had never heard those sounds before. Discovering a new world. I saw Zeppelin in 77 at Baton Rouge I was11 years old. It left me speechless . I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
I am from Baton Rouge. My first concert at 11 was KISS. I missed that Zep show somehow. I grew up to learn what rock/ blues really was. I later got the music bug.i wanted to work for Rolling Stone, so I was 16 yrs selling "authorized" photos of the bands that came to Baton Rouge every weekend . I got their permission to take and to sell the photos.
I later tracked down many bands, for photos, including the Firm in Daytona, Florida.I wanted a job at Rolling Stone and needed pictures of Paul and Jimmy. I met Paul on the beach all alone the next morning after the show. Forgot all about pictures Went back to the hotel met Jimmy and with his one call I had a job at Rolling Stone. We met up again at the New Orleans show at Absinthe House after the show. Jimmy had on a black bad ass tux with a red cumberbun. Jimmy is the really the sweetest man in Rock.
I am hoping she will give a reaction to Paul Rodgers my all time favorite singer.
Paul couldn't have been nicer, too.
I never met Robert, one the few I never met, but we sorta danced together as he was on stage. Later I married only the man that sounded as good as Robert. He sang with zero music, 24/7. I was always was on the front row. You might have seen me, not many females dare to go to front row. It's dangerous.
Speaking of Baton Rouge, did you get to see the special Lynyrd Skynyrd put on at the Comite River about 1985? I put their photos in Rolling Stone. Cool to see fans in a river listening to the band. All the survivors were there playing. After that never saw all 4 survivors together. I love our musical roots of Baton Rouge. Love LOVE me some blues, love me some Buddy Guy.
Love Zep forever!
I can only imagine what it must have been like at the time. I was born in the 80s and got really into Zep and a lot of other stuff from the 60s and 70s around 2000. It blew me away even then, but I know that at the time it would have had even bigger impact, especially for those lucky enough to have seen them live. It was a golden age for music and if I ever found myself in possession of a time machine, I'd just be going to gigs.
Putting it into words: "It's so ridiculous!, Oh my goodness!, This is crazy!, Whaat!, He's amazing!, vocal slinky! just to name a few of your quotes...Love it! Nice catch on the 123,123 rhythms... Your so right, We ARE not worthy...One thing for sure is that Plant's expressions on vocal are equaled among all four members making this incredible journey...Thanks so much! and there's more..keep going...
Can’t say how much I love this comment! 😁
As a teen growing up in the late 70's early 80's, I was fortunate enough to have two "types" of music to follow. Our class was either rock or disco. I grew up with Led Zeppelin as our fire in the woods, party music as well as other outstanding rock and roll royalty. To see your or someone new-to-the-party listeners reactions to this music, validates there was only one choice growing up.
Zeppelin is crazy in that multiple generations can say this. I grew up in the late 90s early 2000s and if I open my old year book right now to the class poll page it says number 1 most cited CD currently in their car deck was Led Zeppelin. Truly remarkable band.
Coming of age in the early ‘70s, I didn’t realize anything different or unique about Zeppelin; it was just music. It was *our* music. I didn’t know about the history of the blues, or its influence on British rock. I didn’t understand how the torch was passed from the Beetles to Led Zeppelin, or how Zeppelin completely changed the trajectory of rock music. In the early ‘70s we listened to Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Allman Brothers Band, Santana, Edgar Winter, Johnny Winter, ZZ Top, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, The Eagles, Doobie Brothers, CSNY, Steely Dan, Blue Oyster Cult, Fleeteood Mac, among others, but my go-to fallback was always Zeppelin. Always. I had no idea why, it just was. I was drawn to it. In recent years, revisiting the music of my youth, I’m beginning to understand the ‘why’. Diving deeper into the musicality of these four individuals, I’m beginning to understand why their music pulls emotional strings in ways that others don’t. The level of chemistry these guys had, I now realize, is exceedingly rare. Various “supergroups” never resonated with me the way Zeppelin always has. Talent and technical ability are important, but not sufficient. Together these guys had magic. Tons of talent, obviously, and the genius of Jimmy Page, but the chemistry they had was magic.
Definitely the world's greatest rock band playing a classic blues song with rock overtones. What they are doing musically and vocally is complex but they make it sound ridiculously simple. It is edgy, as blues should be, but very precise. outstanding.
I’m sorry, but this is a late comment. LATE. LATE COMMMENT. but I’ve been watching this 16x times right now. I’m a HUGE Zeppelin nerd and count this performance as one of my most transformative experiences I’ve ever had and me watching YOU going through it for the first time pausing at the exact same places I did back in the 70s, FOR THE SAME REASONS, resonated with me in words I cannot describe. Please just give me a “HELL YEAH” how amazing this performance is, in all of it’s crazy explorative ways it is done. I see you laugh and connect to it in a way, with all its slinkyness and confidence, which has for me been the most amazing confirmation of what this confident man delivered to me. Please admit this was one of the coolest and craziest fun performances you didn’t expect to review last year. Love you and all that you do!
Oi!
This seems like a late comment
HELL YEAH
Several masterclasses going on here. Each of the four musicians is a virtuoso in his own right. Each of them putting on an absolute clinic. Robert is freaking stupid amazing--and is probably my fave vocalist of all time. And Elizabeth, you put on a clinic on both instrumental and vocal analysis. Well done, sis, on one of my favorite songs ever. You're outstanding.
He defined confidence and sexiness on stage. Every rock singer since wants to be Robert Plant
Hello! Late to the show but you are simply a delight❤ LZ fan for 40yrs and thank you for describing what I never have been able to put into words. Your facial expressions are Everything! I love that Robert left you a bit tingly. Have Fantastic day thank you for sharing.
50 years on and just look at the sheer, unbridled delight it inspires in her! I hope they see this. Let there be that much justice in the world at least. They deserve for her joy to make them as happy as it makes us.
The mood of this performance is so captivating. They give you plenty of time to get lost in the song. Just wonderful, one of my favorites. That opening riff grabs your attention, separating you, and then dives into that wonderful groove.
One of my top three favourite Led Zep songs! If you haven't done so already, listen to the original album version from "III" with headphones and you'll hear John Bonham's bass drum pedal squeaking away!
One of my 35 favorites... and the order always changes and expands!
Gallows Pole and Bron-Yr-Aur-Stomp from III are 2 of my favorite Zep songs. Both showcase Jimmy Page’s acoustic guitar brilliance and rock out! 🤘🤘🎸

@@glenfranzen9933 Ha ha good point, I'd say 3 or 4 songs per album too, sometimes more, so it's always so difficult to choose!
@@lorimiller8297 John Paul jones is the hero on that album
I fell in love with the Blues because of Zeppelin. Page, Beck, and Clapton...Three Brit guitarists dove deep into American Blues and added their twist. Whole new levels....into : Pop(Clapton), Rock(Page), and Jazz(rip Jeff Beck.) Add in Robert Plant,who learned the cadence of classic American Blues, and his guts to stretch it to its higher levels ever. Bonham elevated percussion. He attacked it with joy. Jones. Musical intuition. Bass...a genious to even anticipate and drive his band mates...fluent in ivory, and every genere of music, John Paul Jones.
Yes! Page and Plant give a master class in blues guitar as well as vocal-emulation-of-blues-guitar. Is Robert secretly a coloratura soprano himself in that shriek at 7 minutes in? My tin ears say "maybe". The unsung hero here is the surgeon who removed Plant's vocal nodules some months before this concert, and while he might not have had the power as in his youth, the whistle register still worked! Yet another reason I always laughed at Rolling Stone Album Guide's 2.5 star rating of The Song Remains the Same live album capture of this concert. While you're on this Zep streak, take in their rendition of "No Quarter", which may have an even better Pagey solo than this exquisite one.
and then take a progressive dive with Tool's No Quarter cover. Now thats what i call a trip
My understanding has been that his surgery was in late 1973, after this performance, which was in July ‘73. There is, however, debate and tons of speculation over when the surgery actually occurred. I wonder if we’ll ever know for sure. Maybe when Elizabeth does her Robert Plant interview? 🤓
@@dalmac5978 Ha! Yeah, I've heard anywhere from early '72 to late '73. Regardless, Robert stayed great enough to last up until the present. Still has it.
Also, this may be my fave Elizabeth reaction, topping King Diamond's Sleepless Nights. She now fully understands why we Zep fans revere and adore Robert. "Percy" may not always be right when he interprets a song, but he's spectacular often enough to be deemed Godlike. Now that I think of it, Elizabeth should take in some of the O2 concert for Ahmet Ertegun. O2 was Zeppelin saying, "We only want to appear for one last time, and we WILL remind you we are still the best ever." So, opening number "Good Times Bad Times", "For Your Life", "Song Remains the Same", "Kashmir" (again), "Since I've Been Loving You" (again), and especially "Nobody's Fault But Mine". What an exquisite concert, hearing them sound like they did in the 70s seemed an impossible task, but it's all there on their "Celebration Day" set. I can still remember me listening to it at work when the videos came out on Utoob...
Page'y's solo on No Quarter from the original The Song Remains the Same (re-masters/re-issue have butchered the solo) is my all time favourite Jimmy Page solo- bar none...
I don't think she is into the guitar solos.
You’re so right on with his time. His confidence with his breaks and inflections make them. They wouldn’t happen without his guts to do it while having the musicians follow. It’s is pure chemistry and trust here
I feel privileged to have lived through this epoch, and seen so many of these amazing performers live, as they changed everyone's perception of "music."
