@Wesley Slaven Nay. Led Zeppelin only played "Since I've Been Loving You" three times in 1975 and that was on their US Tour. They did not play "Since I've Been Loving You" at Earls Court, which is where the live pro shot video which you reviewed was from. William is talking about Since I've Been Loving You from late July 1973 at MSG, which is where Led Zeppelin recorded three shows - three nights in a row. That film was finally released in Oct 1976 and is entitled "The Song Remains the Same."
Yes, build a Zeppelin shrine and they (WE) will come! Obviously you love them already, but I and others would like to see your reactions to more live vids, as it seems you still have yet to see many of those. JPJ was also a master "arranger," which i don't fully understand, but I know that Jimmy especially greatly valued his abilities in that regard. I actually dig the studio version of this one more (Bonzo's drumming, basically), but not to say I don't LOVE the live versions!
This is not a cover of a Robert Johnson song - it's a cover of a Blind Willie Johnson song "Jesus Gonna Make Up My Dying Bed." Bob Dylan covered on one of his albums in the 1960s.
Great review of an awesome track by the masters... on fact check out the whole earls court gig.. by the way, I don't think Page had started using heroin yet in '75, but anybody please correct me if I'm wrong
I think it's interesting that this reactor is speculating that there is some kind of camera trickery behind Jimmy's ability to keep the guitar still while playing. I beg to differ. This was 1975 and Jimmy was of a generation that had to practice to master their craft. I still remember the story of Ray Charles being dissatisfied with his back up singers and firing them all, then singing their parts himself. Or Jimi Hendrix mastering a guitar while learning to play it upside down because he couldn't afford a guitar that was his proper side. Or Stevie Wonder learning how to play a host of instruments, including the drums, and well enough to cut records and make hits. This is the essence of mastery: developing your craft through the discipline of endless hours of practice, combined with a commitment to get better. Think of the many years Jimmy put in as a session musician and producer. Personally I think Jimmy is gifted like the great inventor, Thomas Edison, who once said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
It definitely isn’t impossible but it also isn’t practical. There’s movement when you play a guitar standing up. I think that shot was focused on the guitar staying still and everything else moving, an illusion of sorts
75 was roberts WORST year vocally, he had surgery in 73 on his vocal chords that were basically trashed, the surgery made them worse not better. hes been improving ever since though and sounds great now, lost his INSANE high end though
@@rwesleyslaven I don't know what axle had. Nobody really knows what wrecked Roberts voice. It was pretty sudden and he didn't look after it. Absolutely smashed it every night. Most plausible thing iv heard is he got a bad cold 1 day and sang anyway thus damaging his vocal chords. He had surgery after the 73 America tour for nodules. They pretty much had 1974 off to give Robert time to heal. In 75 he could barely talk never-mind sing!! S8nce then he's been getting better at using what he has left and even 70% Robert plant is still better than nearly anybody else anyway lol
@Wesley Slaven Robert had nodes removed from his vocal chords in 1973 at some point. There wasn't a lot of focus on resting vocal chords etc back then. He mentions in a 1988 interview that "I had surgery about 15 years ago on my vocal chords." You can hear his voice is raspy and changed on the 8 new songs recorded for Physical Graffiti, but it still sounds great to me. He had a rough go at the beginning of their 1975 US Tour as well. He started it out w the flu, but he made it through the tour pretty well.
JPJ was great but the enterer band was maid of masters in their field that could transition with each other better than anyone from 1 to the next and follow who ever took lead
Nesho - Jimmy Page wasn't on heavy drugs at this time. It started for Jimmy - possibly in late 1975 or early 1976. It was probably brought on by Robert Plant's Aug 4th, 1975 car accident on the Greek island of Rhodes. It almost killed Robert's wife, Maureen, who suffered a bad skull fracture when their rental car went off a road into a ditch. Robert shattered his ankle badly and was told by the doctors he may not walk again. Their two kids were in the car, Carmen and Karac, and shaken up badly. There's mixed info about whether, Jimmy's daughter, Scarlett, was with them or not. Robert's wife almost died and band tour manager, Richard Cole and band manager, Peter Grant had to arrange for Maureen Plant to be flown out of Greece to save her life. Led Zeppelin's future was in doubt for a time. They had to cancel an upcoming late summer tour of the US and I believe there were some tentative dates for a tour of Europe in the fall. They were going to play huge stadiums in the US for around 8 or so shows. I believe two shows at Oakland-Alameda County Stadium were already sold out - when they had to cancel the tour. I believe this uncertainty, canceled tour and Robert's accident took Jimmy to a very dark place and probably brought on the onset of the heavier drug use - of heroin. Robert ended up recoding the LZ album Presence sitting in a wheelchair. Achilles' Last Stand -- the title is a reference to Robert [being a God and his only weak spot was his ankle, as he had broken it]. It was tongue in cheek, even though, I believe that while LZ was touring in the 1970s -- they definitely had so much confidence in what they were doing, how they displayed it on stage and how great their records sounded -- not to mention outselling The Who, Elvis, The Stones, etc - in album sales and concerts --- they probably believed themselves to be Gods - maybe not Jones, but certainly the other three. (Maybe Jones too). The song "Hots on For Nowhere" is about Robert being pissed about being stuck in Munich and recording, while not seeing his family for so long - he was pissed at Page and even Peter Grant - for booking the recoding sessions. It was in Munich, in very late fall, cold, in a dank basement, Plant couldn't move about freely, as he was stuck in a wheelchair. I'm pretty sure he felt hopeless and Leos do not like to feel dependent on people, nor like to feel or look weak in front of people. I think it was noted somewhere that Plant even felt claustrophobic at times. This is the quickest that they recorded an album since their 1st album. I believe it took them 17 days in total to record, but to Plant it felt like forever, bc he was pretty much immobile and it's clear from his lyrics in "Tea for One" how he he was feeling. I believe those lyrics sums it up for Plant and those words are pretty reflective on his time "trapped" in Munich. It seems like it felt like an eternity to Plant, but it was only 17 or days for him there. I believe all of LZ met up in LA to rehearse in Oct 1975 for Presence. They recorded in Nov/Dec of 1975.
First time watching your channel.. Dude, we’re three minutes in and you’ve stopped like 6-8 times. We want a reaction. We don’t need every thought that occurs in your mind. All that does it show us that you’re not into the music at all. Do you want to increase your number of subs? Then stop interrupting the flow of a song LITERALLY every few seconds. Best of luck on your channel.
@@rwesleyslaven several of their songs were stolen? Should be quite easy for you to discover yourself. It's pretty common knowledge if you are over 50. One of my all time favorite albums is houses of the holy. I'd probably put in my top 25. I don't understand what the cold take is. If telling the truth is a cold take then I don't know what to say except what I already have, research it for "yourself" don't let someone else do it for you.
@@richarddevine205 it’s a cold take because they’re universally considered one of the greatest bands of all time and one of seven artists or groups to surpass 250 million records sold lol it’s not an arguable point that they aren’t great.
@@rwesleyslaven you're entitled to have your opinion. I prefer original artists not thieves. But it is still a fact that several of 'their greatest hits" were stolen from other songs. If you are OK with that it's all good. It's just not my cup of tea when you start talking greatest that originally is a 'great' piece of that. All they had to do is state that they used another artists music but they wouldn't, got sued and LOST. Lol.
I don't understand why this band is so popular. If I want heavy music I find Led Zeppelins guitar tone to be too thin , scratchy and cold sounding. There is no real distinctive "tone" I associate with Led Zep, unlike with bands like Van Halen, Black Sabbath or Queen. Jimmy Page is a decent guitarist, if sloppy, but so what, there weren't too many good guitarists around in the late 60s so you were bound to stand out. Even in a band as derided by snobs as KiSS I'd pick Ace Frehleys playing over Page. Nowadays I would rate at least a hundred guitarists above him. Robert Plant lost his voice only a few albums into their career, meaning over half of his performances are hoarse barks. He's doing bluesy screaming, again so what. Far from being the first or even the best. His voice is quite feminine, and there were a lot of great female blues/ soul singers who sound more powerful than him. Plus his English accent sometimes slips into his singing, making his bluesy singing a lot less authentic sounding. And they did a considerable number of hippy type acoustic folky stuff. Well, some people don't like rap, some don't like string quartets, some don't like country and western and I don't like acoustic folk songs. Including Stairway To Heaven. John Bonham, a powerful drummer albeit one dimensional, but how many people listen to a band for the drums? Live albums from the 70s were infamous for their lengthy boring drum solos which nearly everyone skipped. Plus of course their copious plagiarism. Some of their songs are blatant stealing, like Black Mountain Side and Bron Y Aur Stomp, and some are them doing reworked versions of other peoples songs, like Dazed and Confused and .......well, virtually the rest of their first four albums.
They were, are and WILL ALWAYS BE the ultimate rock band..
Greatest band to grace the planet!! Diverse...ultra talented...4 greatest musicians to ever come together!! Please do more Zeppelin!!!
I’m planning a bunch more Zeppelin after the response on this one 😊
Agree best rock band ever

My favorite Zeppelin song, so under appreciated.
It’s tough for it to shine through when they’ve had so many bangers
Now I want you to imagine what it was like sitting in the room. I was there. Changed my life. Never seen anything better since.
I envy you.
I agree...the GOATS...PERIOD! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for mention... In the Light (Remaster) off the Physical Graffiti album (since we're at that stop) is an under reviewed Zep song
Robert went into some gospel for a moment there for a moment at the end and some low Elvis notes. They loved and adored Elvis.
yes they did! Robert often giving love to his idol during their songs, "shake it one time for elvis."
Love the reaction. You might want to check out we're gonna groove and I can't quit you baby live royal Albert hall 1970. It's just so good 👍

It's a dragon. I'm glad you mentioned JPJ; you are SO RIGHT!
Jonesy -the silent assassin!!
He’s the glue man. May not get the credit but their songs wouldn’t be nearly as recognizable without his parts on mandolin or organ or even the bass
I agree with you about JPJ!! Lol I'm born on his birthday...wish I were talented as he is! ☺
That JIMMY Fucking Page!
Yes.
Love this version and video.. Haven't seen this one.. Great job.. Zeps the best hands down

Yeah I haven’t seen any live vids with the exception of the ones I’ve done so far. I’m stoked to see them
THIS will be played at my funeral
Something I've found strange about this song, when I listen to the album/ CD it comes across as a drummers tune, but live it's a guitar tune.
It seems like the mix on the record is drum heavy but the mix here is focused on Jimmy. No wrong answer here 🤷😂
Jimmy didn’t start heroin til after this. His addiction began in 75 during the presence sessions which would’ve been like 6 months after this .
Man I need to brush up my Zeppelin history
@@rwesleyslaven dude great reaction, I can tell you know a lot about music history. You’re spot on about the Dany guitars.
Yes and he quit in the 80s to his credit
@@juliemanarin4127 that's honestly remarkable. Heroin is rough to get off of
Loved the video and your great info on Jimmy’s guitar, thanks.
Thanks for watching! I was mostly correct, the one I had was actually a silver tone, same style
Tripping Balls. Lol. I subscribed right after you said that. Right on.
Thanks for the sub! It’s one of my favorite expressions
for any unaware. JPJ played base with his feet while playing keyboard with his hands. its on video but i cant remember the song
There is no way that’s true lol

This is not a cover of a Robert Johnson song - it's a cover of a Blind Willie Johnson song "Jesus Gonna Make Up My Dying Bed." Bob Dylan covered on one of his albums in the 1960s.
They covered a few old folk songs and some old blues as well. Travelin Riverside is one of my favorite songs they’ve done

A cheap shot at Jimmy there. He was not on heroin till later 1975 or early 1976. Definitely not at this time.
Didn’t mean it as a cheap shot so much as a compliment. I couldn’t play this sober 😂
