I am such a Plant fan that I always prefer to SEE him perform rather than just hear him. His stage presence was remarkable, every movement that I saw live back in the ‘73 concert that we attended is still burned into my mind. 💕
Folks who hate this band have misguided souls. These guys had enough talent to build a highway from New York to L.A. , easily. You have enlightened alot of folks with great music they may never have heard.
I am a Led Zeppelin fan from the beginning of their journey. My favorite concert. The haters are jealous. Period. Pay no attention to the haters of any true artist. I have every album. John B and JPJones anchored and were the driving force, the beating heart of Led Zeppelin.
So well said! Thank you! All Led Zep is so good to listen to, their artistry, from album releases to official live releases to bootlegs. JPJ and Bonzo's groove and improvisation every night they played, something to celebrate and not criticize, forget the haters! You should pick up the 4 CD Seattle bootleg concert sometime on ebay, all glorious 3 hours and 40 minutes of it! 😊🎵
Oh, now I want them to keep harassing you so that you’ll extend Zeppelin into February! 😜🤘😎. Are you going to do the No Quarter DVD? Someone did send you the link to the No Quarter Irvine concert I believe. And I sent In The Light from Detroit. I’ll look for link to the movie DVD.
The Coverdale/Page album is really good. I love how Plant and Page did one of the songs from the album so you can do an actual comparison of the 2 on Shake My Tree
When Jimmy dances sideways across the stage (at 38:51 of your video), I think that is visually emblematic of the entire Zeppelin experience: variations across a theme. They always explored new territory (the stuttersteps) but hewed from a central Zeppelin core (the sideways trend across the stage)
Whole lotta love - Tokyo, Japan 1971/09/23 Whole lotta love - Los Angeles 1970/09/04 (blueberry hill bootleg) Whole lotta love - Hamburg, Germany 1973/03/21 Only suggestions ofcourse, just some versión that I personally love
When you do your Japan reaction I believe you'll find Whole Lotta love and Dazed and Confused as quite the competitor against your Song Remains the same concert versions. Can't wait.
LZ thought that releasing singles restricted the music (to 3 minutes, and to become chart hits' it needed to be more formulaic). They also didn't want the band's reputation to rest on singles - the idea that you were only as good as your last single, and the pressure to come up with new ones to top the last one. Also at that time UK TV music shows expected bands to mime their singles (for consistency of sound) or to use TV channel equipment. Led Zeppelin wanted to do neither of these. The TV equipment was not as good as their own and would not have allowed them to get as good a sound as they could. LZ were also getting a hard time from the British music press. They decided to take their music on tour and build their reputation through live concerts, letting audiences decide, and their strategy worked.
The bass is IT in the Seattle performance for me. Love that it's the Crunge extended. The improv is one of the many things that separates LZ from other bands. Live Aid is not one of their best gigs. They thought it was a disaster. Screw the haters.. Who loves ya, baby? Your LZ subscribers -extend into Feb we'll be there! TSRTS version - so different! As much as I love JPJ'S bass in Seattle I think this is the better performance overall -love the jazz bass riff under Jimmy's solo and the solo itself!!! Check out Jimmy's nod to one of his idols, Scotty Moore, Elvis' guitarist that comes about 9ish minutes into the song (Baby Let's Play House riff take off) The first time the song was performed live was at the Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco on 4/26/1969 (the night before the concert that you recently reacted to at the Fillmore West). The performance is a few weeks prior to their laying down the track for LZII so really a developing work - the middle section hasn't been fleshed out yet. It's interesting to see how the song morphed over the years. Here's the link ua-cam.com/video/CxeazgqAh6c/v-deo.html
I don't think this is better than The Song Remains the Same version, but the last one they did in 1980 which I believe was in Berlin. It's pretty cool and JPJ goes off! It's definitely worth checking out!
My #1 favorite Whole Lotta Love version (other than SRTS) is from Berkeley, CA 9/14/71. After the boogie solo which equals the SRTS version comes a great string of old songs. It's a half hour at least. There were two Berkeley shows make sure its the 14th. Recording is tinny sounding but the performance is worth it, a classic bootleg. Paste this in UA-cam, (start at 1:11:10) Led Zeppelin 9-14-71 Berkeley, Ca. HD
@STB: Two beloved bands....Led Zep + Rush. Both bands: virtuoso musicians, greatness. With Rush: note for note, the live performances match the album - greatness for sure, but entirely predictable, time after time (saw them several times). If you want to know what Rush sounded like live, play the album, and there you are. With Zeppelin, they never played any song, the same way, twice. They were not as "precise" - in terms of execution - as Rush, but they were totally fresh, spontaneous, unpredictable, innovative, and outrageous. To understand Rush: listen to the studio albums. To fully understand Zeppelin: listen to every live recording. By the way - "no singles" was Jimmy's mission. Jimmy always felt the need/desire for singles is what ultimately destroyed the Yardbirds, and he did not want to repeat that mistake. Jimmy built Zeppelin for the FM radio/album-oriented rock world. He believed if fans wanted the songs, they would buy the albums, so there was no need for singles. Peace.
Another interesting forensic comparison would be different versions of the '73 MSG shows...you get some different flavors, see how what they captured was very much a one-off moment, and why what they picked was ultimately the best o' the bridge. BTW, they also go into The Crunge on How the West was Won. And yeah, dig the background Jonesy grooves...often the undiscovered pearl of a live gig
Page was familiar with pop singles and artists from his session playing days. He was disenfranchised with the producers, suits etc and the limitations placed on the artists themselves.
@STB: 1975-1980 have many great examples of three great live tracks: Trampled Underfoot (especially Earls Court 1975 and also Europe 1980), Achillies Last Stand (several shows in 1977 and also Knebworth 1979), and In My Time Of Dying (1975 and 1977). The 1977-1979-1980 versions of these are mostly audio (unless you find the bootleg video), but these live tracks are as good as the 5 songs you love, live.
You will absolutely love the 1970 version from Live on Blueberry Hill: ua-cam.com/video/_katwpwQylg/v-deo.html One of brilliant Zeppelin medleys - blues to rhythm and blues to rock and roll. Awesome.
That was great. But weird the way it ended. I was totally waiting for them to break back into the end of WLL, like they always seem too. Huge letdown really. Because the final part of Whole Lotta Love is the best part, and the exclamation point on the song. But I did love it.
While conventional wisdom said you needed singles and constant TV appearances, Jimmy Page and Zeppelin manager Peter Grant decided to go the opposite route. If you wanted to buy “Dazed and Confused” or “Stairway to Heaven,” you had to buy the whole album. Also advent of long play on FM radio
Just after you said 'it's been going for 8 minutes' Robert Plant started calling for 'the bridge' ('I'm still trying to find the bridge' etc.) and the song changed rhythm and ended soon afterwards.
Because the next riff launches into Black Dog, so he ended it at the right time. You can listen to the whole concert he reacted to so you can hear the rest it's on his channel from about a month ago
Jimmy experienced some underhand releasing of songs the Yardbirds had done in the studio but were not happy with. They were told to just try recording them and without their consent these songs were released as singles. Jimmy was determined to have control and refusing singles helped. He had heard FM Radio while in USA and realized this was the perfect was to get people to listen to a whole album and hear the songs as they related to each other in the order he wanted people to experience them
Plant's second solo album from '82 The Principle of Moments is awesome! Phil Collins does most of the drumming and Robbie Blunt is an excellent guitarist. Not a bad track. Maybe you could do the whole album?
You are really missing some great, high quality audio kind of must-listen concerts. International Pop Festival (31-8-1969) Blueberry Hill (L.A. 04-09-1970) Going to California (Berkeley, CA 9.14.71) Osaka (28-9-1971) Burn That Candle (LA Forum 6.25.72) Southampton (22-1-73) Frankfurt (30-06-1980)
Keep in mind your comparing a edited and mixed 73 show to a raw/live 75 show. Also comparing the “freak out” to the freak out/melody really isn’t a fair comparison. But Freak out vs freak out, yeah. Better to compare 72 and 73 WLL b/c they did extended versions those years
Oh, the Live Aid performance in 85 was horrendous. Jimmy was so out of it hammered, the drummers had no clue what to play. It was a serious low point for them if you want a point of reference. Watching that performance, I was only 14 years old and i was seriously disappointed.
I was there, in Philly, and although the performance was forgettable, I wouldn't trade that moment for anything. The crowd loved them, and it was an emotional moment the performance cannot convey.
They handed jimmy an out of tune guitar, i think he did ok considering phil collins didnt have a clue what he was playing. It certainly wasnt great but it wasnt terrible either
HI STB, Yes Zeppelin was totally against 45 singles ( it was a necessary evil?) To them. Their contract to Atlantic Records was musical freedom to do album rock. I though the WWL RAH 1970 was very good 20 mins long. Ps The Live Aid version was horrible because they haven't rehearsed. Tony Thomson was brilliant on it. Idk why Phil Collins was even there for, knowing he played on Robert's solo work
STB, Are you familiar with Kevin Parker and Tame Impala? Kevin Parker IS Tame Impala - writer, producer & studio musician who records alone then tours with band mates. Long story short, he covered and changed up a Marlena Shaw pieces called Woman of the Ghetto. His version is "Remember Me". I love Marlena's version but Kevin's version is fantastic too. I'd love for you to hear them both back to back Marlena Shaw ua-cam.com/video/7_BeN75XgfQ/v-deo.html Woman of the Ghetto Tame Impala ua-cam.com/video/UQkRzLSo4-k/v-deo.html Remember Me
I had never considered The Song Remains The Same as anything great when I was younger, but i dont think I really appreciated their versatility to jam because as a teenager "it didnt sound like the album". I didnt think they sounded very tight in the 70s as they did in the BBC sessions. STB, I have been along on your ride for about the later half of your journey and have way more appreciation than i did 20 years ago 👍
Peter Grant was behind the no Zeppelin Singles ... Grant ran the show .. Grant held out . Grant changed the way bands got paid .. Less money to the promoter and more to the band and management... Beer sales and merchandise and marketing all went to the band ..
@@heliotropezzz333 You are correct, Helen. Actually, Jimmy always believed releasing singles was the downfall of the Yardbirds, and he never wanted Zeppelin to make the same mistake.
Man, don't look for the Live Aid of Zeppelin playing. It is even by the members of the band their worst concert. When I saw it live I groaned as it was a mess. However, all singers and bands are allowed to have an off day.
DO NOT CHECK OUT LIVE AID UNLESS YOU WANT TO CRINGE AND SEE THEM AT A LOW POINT. Sad. Neither drummer knew the material...they hadn’t been able to rehearse, Plants voice was MIA that day, Page wasn’t at his best. They knew it was horrendous within a minute and were horrified and I’m sure they couldn’t get off the stage fast enough. I know if you do I wont t be watching it......like watching a train wreck of friends...
As far as it being a train wreck, I offer you this: Were it not for Live Aid and an imperfect Atlantic Records performance, you may never have gotten O2. Page was determined to "right" the "wrongs" of Live Aid and Atlantic, and that is why O2 had to happen. I was there, in Philly, and although the performance was forgettable, I wouldn't trade that moment for anything. The crowd loved them, and it was an emotional moment the performance cannot convey.
@@tektoniks_architects I read in a book, that some of the crowd were still chanting for Zeppelin during the Duran Duran performance..Is that true?..I hope so, even at their worst they still make DD look Z list.
@@SilurianSkies I drove from NYC to Philly the night before at midnight for one reason only: to see the first Zep performance post-Bonham. The entire show was kind of a warm-up act, and the anticipation in the crowd was palpable. They did not play well, but you would not know it from the crowd reaction. They were totally embraced in warmth that night. As "off" as they were that night, I know everyone there felt fortunate to be there. At one point Plant asked: "any requests?". We all just laughed out loud. It was such a moment, despite the unevenness of the performance. Emotionally speaking, it was a triumph for them to be together again, at it was a high point of an unforgettable event. Some people even left after they finished, even though hours were left in the show.
@@tektoniks_architects I bow to your experience since you were there. I have never watched it because I’ve heard what Jimmy and Robert have said about it and their feelings at the time. So I steered clear. But I can imagine the crowd was ecstatic and giddy to see them together again. I certainly would have been had I been there. Wonder why they picked Philly?
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 Live Aid was a concert for African famine relief. There were two concerts were played simultaneously, one in the US and one in London. Pretty much every major band and musical act played that day. It was a worthy cause, and that is what motivated the artists to play. In the US that day, we saw Sabbath, Clapton, Tom Petty, the Pretenders, Duran Duran, Madonna, the Cars, Judas Priest, Ozzy, the Temptations, Tina Turner, Mick Jagger, Dylan, and many, many more.
Both Robert and Jimmy are very disappointed with the Live Aid concert, they admit to being totally unprepared and Collins did not know the songs. Too bad.
Zep taught me to stand on the shoulders of giants without a care of who or when someone else came up with the idea. I wish they weren't so protective of their licence. Its kinda not cool. I missed jpj at those concerts. That was kinda not cool as well and that's all the negative things I have to say about the good Lords gift to us all.
And, a last thing, i like, how you're going in one band totally, to discover and understand them completely! That's why some peoples don't understand, because, most of the channels on UA-cam , they're listening to different bands every day, or every weeks, but, you, prefer to listen to one band, completely, and go on another band after, and i can understand that! Because, you didn't grew up with all those great bands like us.... I'm 42! I'm listening to those bands since 15! And, i'm playing guitar, since 14! Rock, blues, jazz, classic, i listened to techno, rap, etc..... I like all the music touching my heart and my soul, whatever the style, genre! But, it's complicate to discover other kind of musics when you only listened to one kind of music your whole life! Peoples are stupid you know! Do your own channel like you want! Fuck off all the haters! I will continue ro follow you! 👍Peace from France bro.... 👍😂🎸🇫🇷✌️🌷The version of WHOLE LOTTA LOVE, OF THE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1973, ON VIDEO IS A SHIT CUTTED OFF VERSION!

Oh Please, please, please extend Led Zeppelin another month, oh please do!

Excellent. At the 11:54 minute mark they sound just like the red hot chile peppers jamming.
Yes yes and yes!
You are the best STB. Has anybody seen the bridge? Love it. TSRTS finale was one helluva ending. Flaming gongs. Damn.
TSRTS version of Whole Lotta Love is my favorite live version by far. Great content as always.
Mine too!
Yes, extend Led Zeppelin month into February please! (and the rest of the year, lol) Notice this is the only song Jimmy sings in.
I am a Led Zeppelin fan from the beginning of their journey. My favorite concert. The haters are jealous. Period. Pay no attention to the haters of any true artist. I have every album. John B and JPJones anchored and were the driving force, the beating heart of Led Zeppelin.
So well said! Thank you! All Led Zep is so good to listen to, their artistry, from album releases to official live releases to bootlegs.

Please do
@@juliemanarin4127 yeah..I looked. No cigar. I can find individual songs but not the full movie. I’ll check again.......phooey...it’s so good!
The Coverdale/Page album is really good. I love how Plant and Page did one of the songs from the album so you can do an actual comparison of the 2 on Shake My Tree
When Jimmy dances sideways across the stage (at 38:51 of your video), I think that is visually emblematic of the entire Zeppelin experience: variations across a theme. They always explored new territory (the stuttersteps) but hewed from a central Zeppelin core (the sideways trend across the stage)
Great job 👍 amazing reaction
Top 5 hard rock songs ever. Probably Top 3..
That's a cool old story about your time in the Navy, and how it introduced you to "Whole Lotta Love."
You're right about the singles.
Helene here. Oh..it was YOU Finesse! 🤘. You ARE the shit!
Lol! Thank you!! Who wudda thunk we got Wayne to love the WLL Crunge version! 😜
@@finessemuse2123 LOL 😅
"I'm still looking for the bridge"🤣🤣
I hope that one day you'll listen to WLL from Berlin 1980. Their last song played live. My favorite version of it.
Page on the theremin was the most badass shit ever to me as a kid.
Thanks for finding the Muddy Waters song that inspired Whole Lotta Love. I'd hear about it but never heard it. Way cool, thanks man :)
Whole lotta love - Tokyo, Japan 1971/09/23
Whole lotta love - Los Angeles 1970/09/04 (blueberry hill bootleg)
Whole lotta love - Hamburg, Germany 1973/03/21
Only suggestions ofcourse, just some versión that I personally love
Blueberry Hill is a milestone show.
I always thought TSRTS was Zeppelin’s sound.. I wore this record out !
When you do your Japan reaction I believe you'll find Whole Lotta love and Dazed and Confused as quite the competitor against your Song Remains the same concert versions. Can't wait.
LZ thought that releasing singles restricted the music (to 3 minutes, and to become chart hits' it needed to be more formulaic). They also didn't want the band's reputation to rest on singles - the idea that you were only as good as your last single, and the pressure to come up with new ones to top the last one.

So many of Jimmy's riffs have JPJ right there with him. Wait until you get to JPJ's solo stuff.
The Firm with Paul Rogers

The Atlantic Records birthday bash performance in '88 wasn't the sharpest either. Page & Plant relationship in the 80's was in the ditches.
I don't think this is better than The Song Remains the Same version, but the last one they did in 1980 which I believe was in Berlin. It's pretty cool and JPJ goes off! It's definitely worth checking out!
If you are talking about the version from the movie TSRTS then the second song in this reaction is that one

Keep in mind your comparing a edited and mixed 73 show to a raw/live 75 show. Also comparing the “freak out” to the freak out/melody really isn’t a fair comparison. But Freak out vs freak out, yeah. Better to compare 72 and 73 WLL b/c they did extended versions those years

DO NOT CHECK OUT LIVE AID UNLESS YOU WANT TO CRINGE AND SEE THEM AT A LOW POINT. Sad. Neither drummer knew the material...they hadn’t been able to rehearse, Plants voice was MIA that day, Page wasn’t at his best. They knew it was horrendous within a minute and were horrified and I’m sure they couldn’t get off the stage fast enough. I know if you do I wont t be watching it......like watching a train wreck of friends...
As far as it being a train wreck, I offer you this: Were it not for Live Aid and an imperfect Atlantic Records performance, you may never have gotten O2. Page was determined to "right" the "wrongs" of Live Aid and Atlantic, and that is why O2 had to happen. I was there, in Philly, and although the performance was forgettable, I wouldn't trade that moment for anything. The crowd loved them, and it was an emotional moment the performance cannot convey.
@@tektoniks_architects I read in a book, that some of the crowd were still chanting for Zeppelin during the Duran Duran performance..Is that true?..I hope so, even at their worst they still make DD look Z list.
@@SilurianSkies I drove from NYC to Philly the night before at midnight for one reason only: to see the first Zep performance post-Bonham. The entire show was kind of a warm-up act, and the anticipation in the crowd was palpable. They did not play well, but you would not know it from the crowd reaction. They were totally embraced in warmth that night. As "off" as they were that night, I know everyone there felt fortunate to be there. At one point Plant asked: "any requests?". We all just laughed out loud. It was such a moment, despite the unevenness of the performance. Emotionally speaking, it was a triumph for them to be together again, at it was a high point of an unforgettable event. Some people even left after they finished, even though hours were left in the show.
@@tektoniks_architects I bow to your experience since you were there. I have never watched it because I’ve heard what Jimmy and Robert have said about it and their feelings at the time. So I steered clear. But I can imagine the crowd was ecstatic and giddy to see them together again. I certainly would have been had I been there. Wonder why they picked Philly?
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 Live Aid was a concert for African famine relief. There were two concerts were played simultaneously, one in the US and one in London. Pretty much every major band and musical act played that day. It was a worthy cause, and that is what motivated the artists to play. In the US that day, we saw Sabbath, Clapton, Tom Petty, the Pretenders, Duran Duran, Madonna, the Cars, Judas Priest, Ozzy, the Temptations, Tina Turner, Mick Jagger, Dylan, and many, many more.
Both Robert and Jimmy are very disappointed with the Live Aid concert, they admit to being totally unprepared and Collins did not know the songs. Too bad.
Zep taught me to stand on the shoulders of giants without a care of who or when someone else came up with the idea. I wish they weren't so protective of their licence. Its kinda not cool. I missed jpj at those concerts. That was kinda not cool as well and that's all the negative things I have to say about the good Lords gift to us all.
Its not zep who block itsmwarner music who own the rights
In this battle, TSRTS version easily wins.
Really? So your saying a professionally produced album by Jimmy Page himself is better that a bootleg recording? You're a fucking genius.
No do not watch the live aid it will break your heart. Jimmy was out of it. He said they were there 4 hours he must of drank way to much Jack. Daniels
TSRTS = NSFW
You don't need to watch Live Aid. Just don't do it.
Without a bad performance at Live Aid, you probably never get the O2. Jimmy wanted to set things right.
And, a last thing, i like, how you're going in one band totally, to discover and understand them completely! That's why some peoples don't understand, because, most of the channels on UA-cam , they're listening to different bands every day, or every weeks, but, you, prefer to listen to one band, completely, and go on another band after, and i can understand that! Because, you didn't grew up with all those great bands like us.... I'm 42! I'm listening to those bands since 15! And, i'm playing guitar, since 14! Rock, blues, jazz, classic, i listened to techno, rap, etc..... I like all the music touching my heart and my soul, whatever the style, genre! But, it's complicate to discover other kind of musics when you only listened to one kind of music your whole life! Peoples are stupid you know! Do your own channel like you want! Fuck off all the haters! I will continue ro follow you! 👍Peace from France bro.... 👍😂🎸🇫🇷✌️🌷The version of WHOLE LOTTA LOVE, OF THE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN 1973, ON VIDEO IS A SHIT CUTTED OFF VERSION!
