Great show (for the 1975 tour standards) and excellent sound quality.
That night there was a heavy snowfall on New York City, Plant “Isn't it good, though, it snows? Doesn't it change the vibe of the city? I think it's great. Anyway, so we'll dedicate this to the, the keeper of the seasons. The man who gives us snow when we need it.”
During the guitar improvisations, Jones and Page reach the sidereal depths, with a magnificent John Bonham groove in the backgroud. Loose rock music at its best.

Undisputed kings of rock and roll
True. But this is even beyond RnR, this is next level heaven.
Zepp will go down in history as the greatest 20th century music act of any kind
I attended this show with a few buddies from college. Drove up from Rider College that evening and because of the snow we didn't drive back, so we crashed at my parent's house. They loved it. LOL. Thanks Mom and Dad.
So Cool!
ANOTHER awesome version. There are no bad ones actually.
Agreed
JP never plays the same solo twice! So much improvisation on this track.
Majestic, Progressive, Emotional, The level of musicianship is stunning!
The song and lyrics are in reference to the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Both William the Conqueror and King Harald were of "Germanic" roots but the Norman Conquest was directly against a "Viking" King and ended the Danelaw that dominated the British Isles (particularly England) for several hundred years. This was a time of vicious battle where no quarter ( IE : NO MERCY) was given...Harald and his men were slaughtered in the attack. The Normans were well known for their superior steel blades and armour. The phrase "The winds of Thor were blowing cold" is a reference to the Norse God Thor and possibly the fact that ultimately this was a war between "Norse" people as opposed to outsiders. Thor's Hammer was often carried by Viking warriors as a.. good luck charm... ..and in the case of the Battle of Hastings it proved not to work. So, either the good luck charm.. had "gone cold" or the fact that two peoples sharing the same Pagan belief with the same Gods were fighting each other. So the song pertains to Middle Age Britain somewhere around the time between the first Viking raids in the seventh century and the Norman Conquest in 1066 AD. The song was written at a time that Led Zeppelin was heavily influenced by both Viking and Celtic mythology and history. This is expressed in the third, fourth and fifth albums in particular.
Interesting facts cool
Thank you for the explanation!
woahh
Dude , you know your history...thanks for the info.
Jimmy J --- this is about John Bonham, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page signing a pact with the Devil ...and it's over the top of a beautiful keyboard piece written by the guy who wouldn't sign it. It's the forward version of "Stairway to Heaven."
God, that drum fill right before the guitar solo begins @ 8:00 just kills me.
The word 'explosive' comes to mind. What a blast it must have been to
play with Bonham. Truly, the Hammer of the Gods....
Exactly, SH50.
Sick
Yeah man Bonham can never be topped. Amazing feel
Without doubt my favourite version of this song. Beautiful jazz from JPJ and playing the bass with his feet. I love the tshhh tshhh from JB and Jimmy's groove throughout - never ever the same version. Robert sings the words they only convey. I heard them play this live in London, but it was quite different, even though we all knew what it was.
THIS MAY BE MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE VERSION OF THIS SONG
A musical sound that at once makes you high a euphony.Led Zeppelin rules.
holy CRAP what an amazing performance!
LED ZEPPELIN...THE BEST!!!!
Bands like Led ZEPPELIN only come by once in a lifetime. Unfortunately I was 7 when it all ended so tragically in 1980. Never got to see them live . The bootlegs are all of us have now, thank goodness and thank u to those who recorded the shows for posterity .
First time i heard Zeppelin i was walking up the street in Waterbury Connecticut..West Main Street right by the over pass train tracks..That black train bridge.Was in the very late 60s.The music was coming out of a 1962 GTO..The music blew my mind.I ran up to the car.It was kinda caught in traffic and at a standstill..I asked the driver what band was playing..He said Oh its a new band called Led Zeppelin..I went and bought their first album and it was like going to heaven..I will never forget.You mentioned that you are 56 now..I am now 72.Everything has changed.Back in the 60s it was peace and love to all.....I wish you well and thank you for responding to my comment...Google the song called (Thank you)..I think you will like it if you have not heard it already.......
Good story . Good memory for you.
Compulsive much?
But I bet you did NOT know they plagiarized their first album !
I just went into Google Earth to exactly the train/overpass you spoke of in your comment. There are some buildings right there that have been there since at least the twenties, thirties or forties... I remember exactly where I was standing the moment me and my friend, Chris Daily, heard over FM radio that John Henry Bonham had died; Perry Ave and Sheridan St in Bremerton WA. We'd both been saving money for the upcoming US Tour. I think tickets for the Chicago shows were going on sale that morning... I have the same exacting memories of where I was while hearing about Bon Scott and Randy Rhoads. I saw the Blizzard of Ozz here in Seattle at the Paramount Theater. The original Motorhead opened. I'm fifty six now. Music has been the only steady thing in my life since I first got Elvis Presley's Golden Hits vinyl LP. Edit; the gold lame suit LP.
@@manithor7572 Oh you're thin brained. Scram outta here.
Versione SPETTACOLARE ho la pelle d'oca.. erano dei mostri quell'assolo di Jimmy ti manda in acido..Incredibili...
IL DIRIGIBILE ❤
Zero talento, zero ricerca, zero visione.solo merda commerciale che dura 3 mesi.si fanno i soldi con gente presa per strada e via.Oggi solo canzonette del cazzo da 3 minuti con zero pathos e talento
Thank God for Rock.
Great, magic, disturbing, evocative song. Also Led Zeppelin.
This should be an official release. No one could touch this.
4 GODS ... the best band EVER! Jimmy + Jones + Plant ´Bonzo ... 4 genius. APPLAUSE.
Woah, that was def the trippiest version of No Quarter. The ending part of the solo sounded like experimental jazz.
it's basically all jazz :)
@@ian_b Rock N Roll is the Son of Jazz
Excellent quality audio. Hopefully a video will surface. Hopefully a whole bunch
Interesting, never heard this version. Didn't realize how much improvising they did to this song. "73" still the gold standard, but i like how bold they are here, Brilliant!
Yes sir 73 no quarter the best ever

Jones own this love it !!!
playing from the heart, that's what's is all about
JImmy Jumpin' in at 8:06!!! Thanks Tim!!!
This is a ripping version of NQ, I just never realized it until recently. And the performances from the next 2 New York concerts after this are great as well, but this one is extraordinary... 🎹
This is the definitive version of No Quarter.
‘73 at MSG uncut version tops this imo
@@JAMESGANG-f5u Yes,that version also. This n that will do!
Love to have seen the video of them playing
Page playing that 57 les Paul. Sheer tonal madness.
MARAVILHOSO ❤
improvision is beautiful
When gods walked the earth!
Sublime.....
Mindblowing thanks for Sharing!!! 🙏
Viva el. Rock Viva LED Zeppelin. Viva Las Islas falkland Viva chile Grande.....
P U R E G O L D !
Amazing.
18:46 "Ian Knight - in charge of the smoke machine that didn't work" LMAO
Hilarious 😂
Thank you so much for posting this. Favourite version I think.
👍 GREAT song this is ....to me the nicest version John Paul's keyboard magical haunting sound such a GREAT underated musician play's so many different things so well
Too good...guitar solo is eargasmic!
that's jimmy page for you. He didn't have skills that of other shredders like van halen. He just knew how to play, what to play and when to play. His phrasing is the best I've heard.
@@rishavpaudel5021 JP guitar playing flows from the ❤️ heart , it's about feel and soul .
@@rishavpaudel5021 EVH had no soul...Jimmy plays just from the soul
La cosa che più amo in Jimmy Page, è la spontaneità della sua improvvisazione,
The king of live guitar improvisation , sir Jimmy Page .
maybe the best version i've ever heard, and i have dozens from 13:00 min up to 34:00 ...
My favorite is one that runs a little over 17 minutes long. The only difference is the opening sound was clearer and Plant was a little more interesting in ad-libbing on the mic as Jones and Bonham held the groove tight.
Oh, and Page was much more eloquent during his solo.
@@ericdraven1819 Which show pls? Which date pls? I’d like to hear it pls.
‘73 at MSG the original, uncut version is my favorite
I saw them at the LA Forum
Merci Paul Jones
JP is on 🔥
I'm liking this one much better than the more meandering solo Jones plays at Earl's Court three months later. These NY concerts are when Page's damaged finger begins to feel better, so I read. They are playing SO well here, and SO together. This little section that starts at 13:00 is a little off, but what they do with it is f@#kin ridiculous. What a band.
Сильно!
Jeez I love Bonzo thick sound and playing in 1975. He was more controlled than 73 and 77.
Que de souvenirs
I especially love the part that starts at 8:06.
Magistral
around 13:28 Jones plays some chords that sound out of key and Page's solo doesn't work with it at all. Reminds me of when Jones plays some dissonant chords at the end of the NQ solo in Seattle 3.21.75. I always assumed that Jones was doing it on purpose to alert Jimmy to how long he's been going on for. Personally, I can listen to a good NQ jam all day, but I can imagine that after a while of playing those same two chords he'd be ready for another selection, ha ha. My feeling is that if Jimmy is in the zone, then go with it and ride the wave, but there are plenty of examples of times where Jimmy is clearly not on his game yet he persists on playing a Trampled Underfoot solo for longer than the original whole studio version was. Maybe I would too if I looked that cool.
interesting . my take on it is that since No Quarter was their most jazz piece , they preplanned on stretching the harmonic structure of the chords at the end of jimmys solo , so it sounded even more other worldly (imagine if jimmy used his thermin during those "out" chords by jonesy) . "Stretching it out" if you will . Like free jazz and John Coltranes music later in his career .
That's interesting Jonathan - I've seen JPJ lean back from the keyboard, still playing with one hand and indicating to the back-stage that "Jimmy's off again" kinda of gesture whilst rolling his eyes. It's comical to see but, like you, I think JP just lost himself in the moment and they all allowed it, as that's where the soul lived for the whole band. I've just been watching Jimmy play The Rain Song from Knebworth '79 and he's clearly left the planet. It reduces me to tears in it's beauty as that was JP's most 'difficult' time.
You randomly speculate out of an orifice
This stuff makes me want to play with my equipment for a while.
oooooh matron....
De guello sp? Stand for truth, fight to death, if this does not make u dance or enter trance, another great example of music different improvitation each performance in the mystic and beyond
Thank you
Not a patch on the 73 MSG version.
Petition to scrap every comment that favoured Queen's live Aid 1985 as the best live performance ever. Queen couldn't hold shit when it came to live improv compared to Zeppelin.
Song remains the same shows are the blueprint of live rock at its absolute best.
It’s barely the same band as the ‘73 version. ‘73 = 🐐
No quarter when dancing day's WERE here again i whish ..........2020 what is this number s. True meaning? You know ?
Woah😂
Who the f**k who is the manager etc... who cares?? It's the f**king Led zeppelin. Anyone else is inconsequential right?. The best meth music ever!
8:07
County of Thor

Title: Flying Circus
Tim Tirelli I need this bootleg CD, please can you help will pay etc etc.

Like listening to the bible 😊
Blasphemy
This rock celebrations song do n9t esiste anymore
Nice version. Not as tight or as intense as MSG 1973
In 73 his guitar had more crunch in the no quarter version at msg. This 75 version on no quarter less crunch , cleaner .
zep did some good stuff but
NO QUARTER is the one....

Ed shireen learned from best playing kybd on page plant tour including this jp jones composition who taught music theory at university on bonham death and avoid void black dog as winston churchill called retreating to charwell home and building stone walls , painting etc. until called back to duty to defend democracy of the english speaking people against nazism. Praise god amen
Rágol.
We are your overlord's
I sound stinky, but it's fun.
It all got a bit loud and gimmicky in 75. All the subtlety was gone. Robert Plant was obviously disillusioned. As said below 73 MSG was never surpassed.
The most disappointing band I ever saw. I saw Plant years later and the guy was so far up himself. Definitely the worst gig I've seen.
