I read somewhere here "What did JPJ with the money his mother gave him for singing lessons?" Well sir he bought every instrument in the history of mankind and mastered them all.
@@ThinWhiteAxe My thoughts exactly. His hair is like his most defining feature. I've often wondered if this is his hair's natural tendency to curl like this. Am truly jealous, too :)
It's not a matter of how many records they sold, many people have beaten Led Zeppelin at that; the reason I appreciate them is because of the sophisticated emotions and pure talent they all had. Anyone who has good taste in music or knows a thing or two about how making music works should have great respect for this band.
@@underthetrees4780 He didn’t harmonize particularly well with Robert Plant. Very few Led Zeppelin songs have any backing vocals from other members but the best harmonizing is Jimmy Page with Robert Plant in ‘Thank You’ and John Bonham’s backup vocals on ‘The Ocean’
One of My Absolute Favorites. It is so hard to tell whether they are having more fun doing their acoustic set or when they are rockin out, they just always look like they are having the time of their lives. After 50 years, i still gets a chill down my spine whenever any Zeppelin song comes on.
Would everybody stop giving John Paul Jones shit for his singing? He's a bass player for fucks sake not the frontman. Also Plant had some amazing voice cracks
Ya know, no matter how many times I watch this at the end when Plant says "Thank you" I can't help but say, "No Led Zeppelin, thank you!" I don't care how many people complain about sloppy performances, the fact that the wrote this alone makes them one of the greatest bands to ever grace us with their music.
I love how Robert gets a kick out of Jonesy singing at the 3:32 mark - Jonesy was a very mostly mild personality - that's how he sang - he's in Led Zeppelin - deal with it critics ! Then - the next Jonesy response at 3:46 he tries to put a "lil - something - something" into it and he looks at Plant for approval and they have a smile together !!! Brilliant ! Before the song started - Jimmy, Robert and Bonzo are having a little talk - Bonzo or Jimmy says something funny - you can Bonzo talk and then laugh and Robert laughs too ! Good stuff !
Percy's laugh is absolutely precious. And i'm loving how they have Bonzo, who is like, a freaking teddy bear, but a mad rhinocerous drummer. And Pagey, who makes love to his guitar. And then Jonesy who just plays EVERYTHING.
Love it! Jonesy's no Sandy Denny but he tries his best to provide back up vocals and Jimmy just looks so sexy! Hot! Love Bonzo beating time on the tambourine too.
My all time favorite Led Zeppelin song and most of their songs are great! I'm high when I listen to The Battle Of Evermore and I'm not drunk or using any drugs of any kind and yes this song affects me this way! Honest!
Plant's hair, man. Fuck for some weird ass reason I am obsessed. It's like a thick lion's mane and so perfectly suits him. I wish I could have that type of hair, but I look fugly with long hair so I can't.
I like this song best when Jones or Bonham did the backup. I think their voices suit the vibe of the song perfectly; I mean, even though their tones might not be technically beautiful, they fit the 'passed down through generations folk song' theme so well, and give the song wonderful effect. I loved seeing the little (amused? encouraging?) smiles between Plant and Jones here. Thanks so much for uploading this!
Sometimes I just enjoy this video because of the spirit it is giving. They don't take themselves too serious here and Robert is playing around with technical means that cut in my ear (I mean the passages with that artificial microphone sound), but sings wonderfully effortlessly, while JPJ tries his very best. I always wait eagerly for the self-encouraging "hey" which Robert says, because it never fails to make me smile from one ear to the other. I am so thankful that people take their time for uploading rare pearls like this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Queen of Light took her bow And then she turned to go, The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom And walked the night alone. Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light. The dark Lord rides in force tonight And time will tell us all. Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes. Side by side we wait the might Of the darkest of them all. I hear the horses' thunder Down in the valley blow, I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, Waiting for the eastern glow. The apples of the valley hold, The seas of happiness, The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no. Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light. The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red. Oh the war is common cry, pick up you swords and fly. The sky is filled with good and bad That mortals never know. Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow, Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow. The pain of war cannot exceed The woe of aftermath, The drums will shake the castle wall, The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on. Sing as you raise your bow, Shoot straighter than before. No comfort has the fire at night That lights the face so cold. Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the mornin' light. The magic runes are writ in gold To bring the balance back, bring it back. At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by, With flames from the dragon of darkness The sunlight blinds his eyes.
Konig Corvus It was tough to beat the Eagles 1977 tour because it revealed Hotel California, Life in the Fast Lane, Wasted Time, and Victim of Love. This probablyade the Eagles the band of the year.
Absolutnie znakomity utwór znakomita grupa.Prawdziwy żywy RnR. Dzięki za kawał cudownej ponadczasowej prawdziwej muzyki,która na zawsze zostanie w moim sercu duszy umyśle. Pozdrawiam serdecznie wszystkich z Poland...RnR , Bluesa forever Oby zawsze w naszych sercach była ta muzyka,zwłaszcza w dzisiejszym plastykowym świecie tandetny
They need to tour again.. they still have it. They could make a fortune. I was lucky enough to see Plant a couple times and a Page and Plant show. Robert Plant refuses to tour again with old Zep songs.
They have a combined 500 million or more, aka a fortune, already. They will never tour again. Rumor has it Page cant play the songs anymore (he's 74 god bless him) and Plant just turned 70 and this last tour of his band may be the last he does. I bet JPJ could do it but that's it.
Poor guy, anyone know the story behind it? Just sick or hey, maybe just worn out from working so much? I've never seen a performance where he seemed to struggle a bit in this one.
+ when you have the greatest rock and blues vocalist of all time singing lead and the best drummer in the history of the world keeping the rhythm it does not matter that the backup vocals suck.
*This song has an instrumental magic that cannot be explained. The lyrics are especially intricate yet simple. Denny's vocals gave it the extra touch that will mark it as a classic for evermore. JPJ does well here. Another great talent ... ... the pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath*
Can I just go back in time and see LZ in on their glory! I never realized when my high school boyfriend was obsessed with LZ and it used to get on my nerves....now at age 56, I feel like I missed so much. My wish would be to meet Jimmy and Robert in person and (John) if he was still with us....before I die!! There is no other and thank you for your music
I just turned 56 & I totally agree with you. My older sister had all of their albums & I only liked Stairway to Heaven until I grew up. So many excellent songs...unbelievable.
Damn, Robert Plant has the most sexiest voice, and when he talks..Jesus, sexiest English accent I have ever heard "In the glorious days of flower power, I guess"0:16 ha ha ha I know everyone of their songs memorized for eternity
Always nice to see the boys having some laughs in '77. Of course, that would all change in the coming week in Oakland and New Orleans... Zep's last indoor show in North America here.
7:42 I am so jealous of Robert's hands for getting to run through his hair 😍 Seriously, though, manes like that should be outlawed. It's not fair for the rest of us.
I agree! Has nice tone, sings on key, and I actually think the "normalness" of his voice blended with Plant's unworldly one makes for a really ethereal experience!
There are some songs that are better on the studio version, this is one of them in my opinion. However, I love them when they smile each other or when Robert shakes his head. Best band in the world for me!!
I read somewhere here "What did JPJ with the money his mother gave him for singing lessons?" Well sir he bought every instrument in the history of mankind and mastered them all.
Bass, mandolin, synth, keyboards, acoustic guitar. Loads of shit he can't play leftover.
And yeah, he can't sing for shit either.....
I WAS THERE!!!!!
+Alessandro Friche I second that!
+Alessandro Friche you said it right
you're so lucky..my dream to see these but maybe bit late..closest is whole loota led
*lotta*
FUCK YOU! lol
Robert's hair is glorious
mkvids100 Isn't it though, I'm so jealous of his hands at the end there for getting to run through it...
Same.
My brother has hair just like his except its red.
@@RSpracticalshooting Lucky brother! I'd be happy to just have a male friend with hair this gorgeous :)

I completely agree. It's much more intimate that JPJ sang instead of hiring a vocalist.
I absolutely love JPJ here, he's so adorable ! His singing put a smile on me..loved it!
I so agree with you. First time ever I heard him sing. They could've hired a vocalist but they didn't. Amen.
only JPJ can do JPJ
I love john Paul jone's singing in this one
jeebsa4m3 of course u do lol
love JPJ who doesnt but lets be real this aint the best singing
He harmonizes really well, but solo i think he's too nervous.
@@underthetrees4780 He didn’t harmonize particularly well with Robert Plant. Very few Led Zeppelin songs have any backing vocals from other members but the best harmonizing is Jimmy Page with Robert Plant in ‘Thank You’ and John Bonham’s backup vocals on ‘The Ocean’
@@2v_5r84 You can hear Jones' backing vocals atleast in "Your Time Is Gonna Come" and bonham's in "Good Times Bad Times".
Best band that ever walked the planet, all true talents.
Hey its been 10 years how're you
Proppa shit performance though
Eleven goin on twelve by now@@ayushyadav9627
Jonesy is so cute, look at him.
LOL, John Paul and Page was just thinking beforehand, "Yeah, fuck it; I'm not even gonna try hitting those notes she did."
Everyone here is saying JPJ can't sing but honestly I really liked the harmony being lower for this version
Agree
i agree
Agree...
Agree
when jones sings i feel warm inside and i get happy...
I LOVE JONESY SO MUCH OMG *_*
what horrendous vocals
One of My Absolute Favorites. It is so hard to tell whether they are having more fun doing their acoustic set or when they are rockin out, they just always look like they are having the time of their lives. After 50 years, i still gets a chill down my spine whenever any Zeppelin song comes on.
Hearing Jonsey sing made me wonder how Robert's voice was pure diamond
Would everybody stop giving John Paul Jones shit for his singing? He's a bass player for fucks sake not the frontman. Also Plant had some amazing voice cracks
'John HEnry Bonham.'
Indeed, plant's voice does crack
idiot, he was singing female vocal part

I don't care how many people complain about sloppy performances, the fact that the wrote this alone makes them one of the greatest bands to ever grace us with their music.
Only a fool would say sloppy
❤❤❤👌..
I love this version, they were having fun with it and it shows how real they all were
"Can we have some monitors on the mandolin please? Otherwise we might be here all night just sittin' here." I love Plant!
What does he mean?
@@rajnandini5968 monitor = speaker. More mandolin in the monitors = more mandolin volume
@@Overlord6196 okay
Thanks
Just watching Robert and his hair at the beginning makes this thing absolutely priceless. I just about melted into a puddle....Thanks!
Christian Krueger Yes ... and with his hair too :-)))
Laurie MtnGalPal He absolutely looked like a greek god. with sculptured lines in his face :)
Me tooo
More like a Norse god
... Goosh...!
...Oh, Golly
gosh..
This took balls to play live.... ZEP RULES!
Awesome!!!
Jonesy singing and play on his tripple neck guitar.I like it,Jonesy!

When they wrote ::: """ The pain of war cannot exceed The woe of aftermath """ ... they left all the poets in the dust .
On top of "the ground is rich from tender care repay do not forget."
My all time favorite Led Zeppelin song and most of their songs are great! I'm high when I listen to The Battle Of Evermore and I'm not drunk or using any drugs of any kind and yes this song affects me this way! Honest!

My favourite Zep tune is whatever I happen to be listening to at the time. 'Stryder!'
I felt the real music... Best band ever..

I loved seeing the little (amused? encouraging?) smiles between Plant and Jones here. Thanks so much for uploading this!
Jonesy is singing the harmony that Sandy Denny sung in the studio one or two octaves deeper I think, so it fits even though it sounds different
Did Bonham ever sing on this live?
makes me feel a hell of a lot better knowing John P Jones could sing as well as me
This was a legendary concert. I now have to look for more vids from this one. The echo on his voice towards the end is so f-ing cool!!!!
Which concert is this? (excuse me for my english is very bad. I hope I mean myself)
Sometimes I just enjoy this video because of the spirit it is giving. They don't take themselves too serious here and Robert is playing around with technical means that cut in my ear (I mean the passages with that artificial microphone sound), but sings wonderfully effortlessly, while JPJ tries his very best.

To this day this song is still so freakin badass!
Queen of Light took her bow
And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe,
Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might
Of the darkest of them all.
I hear the horses' thunder
Down in the valley blow,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon,
Waiting for the eastern glow.
The apples of the valley hold,
The seas of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care,
Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Oh, dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morning light.
The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrant's face is red.
Oh the war is common cry, pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad
That mortals never know.
Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war cannot exceed
The woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall,
The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow,
Shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the mornin' light.
The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance back, bring it back.
At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes.
1977 was not their best tour. Still better than almost any other band.
Konig Corvus It was tough to beat the Eagles 1977 tour because it revealed Hotel California, Life in the Fast Lane, Wasted Time, and Victim of Love. This probablyade the Eagles the band of the year.
Konig Corvus was an amazing year for the dead and Floyd live though.
I loved the 77 shows and bootlegs. With the exception of a few shows.
Their most up and down tour ever
Toys in the Attic 1977
Led Zeppelin has graced the world the universe really with such awesome music. THANKYOU.
MASTERPIECE, actually.
this makes me smile
God, I love John Paul Jones and his singing haha
Absolutnie znakomity utwór znakomita grupa.Prawdziwy żywy RnR.

Oby zawsze w naszych sercach była ta muzyka,zwłaszcza w dzisiejszym plastykowym świecie tandetny
that is the first Led Zepplin video where I saw both page and Jones sing,Fucking awesome, Digg White City Oregon
I wouldn't say JPJ's singing was bad, honestly he just sounds like he doesn't want to be singing or really bored
I wasn't hearing it ! Was just listening to the goodness of a couple guys jamming
+Jason Van Buskirk JPJ's first album, Zooma, is instrumental, wheras he sings in 4 titles in his second album, The Thunderthief.
+Angélique Lafrance Jonesy also did the soundtrack to the 1985 film 'Scream For Help' on which he sings a couple of tunes.
He just sounds like he lacks power, but next to Plant most singer's would.
Austin Angler Probably Drunk
The shared smiles melt my heart. This performance always cheers me up 💕
_la voz de Robert plant hace que me enamore_ 💘
I love this song. These guys were amazing. And Pages composition were brilliant.
Priceless video, and it shuts up everyone who tries to argue that JPJ was the one who played mandolin on this song....
And that hair, has a life of it's own..Goldilocks Die for that hair
I used to think Dazed And Confused was the best live Zeppelin all through the 80's and 90's...then I heard this!!!
I love zeppelin , this is comical watching this
I wonder what John Paul did with the money his mother gave him for singing lessons?
he bought a million other instruments and learned to play all of them beautifully. haha but yea he seemed to skimp the voice lessons.
Anthony Diaz That was John? thought he was Page
listen to the dead and you'll feel better.
@@anastasiakolokotsas5402
What does that mean?
Bought chips with Ringo
this song is soo amazing i love how different it is!
Great song!!!I love!!!!

Cause it would be pathetic, except for Jonsie cause he doesn't seem to age. And it's just not the same with Jason on drums.
Wow, John Paul Jones is just amazing! He really can do everything. Its fucking great!
Awesome performance I would kill to be there
Not literally but yeah...
I'm a big ZEP fan but my dog was howling at this and I understand why.
how am I supposed to watch this and not give it a thumbs up? john HENRY bonham
Jonesy is so darn cute.
I Love this song ❤️
Jimmy may be wasted, high, what have you...but he can still nail every difficult note of this song. Wow :D Plus, he's gorgeous lol
Was he Really?? I thought he'd wait until after the show. I guess I'm just niave.
Even when Plant’s voice cracks its still one o’the best!
Poor guy, anyone know the story behind it? Just sick or hey, maybe just worn out from working so much? I've never seen a performance where he seemed to struggle a bit in this one.
@@JBrodo he had the flu
I was recently in the Lake District listening to Runes - magical
JPJ does the worst Sandy Denny impression I've ever heard.
indeed!!
I doubt he was trying to do an "impression" of her. Just singing the other vocal part in his natural range.

Let my man do what he has to
i'm laughing so hard omg bless zepp
I *really* want to know what John Bonham was doing in the background during this song. What was he drinking I mean? Just kidding.
i like how as soon as Page starts playing it the crowd just roars
Always nice to see the boys having some laughs in '77. Of course, that would all change in the coming week in Oakland and New Orleans...
Zep's last indoor show in North America here.

lmao
Funny.
That was great Zeppelin Rules!!!!!!
something was going on inside Jimmy's pants after end the song. . . Hahahha
It was a gun in his pocket
Would've been great, if pagey, sang the background vocals, heck, you can almost hear girls screaming in the background, I think, that's for pagey.
jimmy with the cigarette in his mouth hahaha
Wow I thought they never played this song live. I was wondering how they could ever replicate it live without the wonderful Sandy Denny.
Probably the best song off Coda, Definatly in top 10 for me.
Say what you will about John Paul Jones's vocals on this. I think he does a really good job.
I agree! Has nice tone, sings on key, and I actually think the "normalness" of his voice blended with Plant's unworldly one makes for a really ethereal experience!

What to say... they're just great on the strings
So amazing! Than you so much!
Steve loving it!
Ya'll leave Jonesy alone. He is trying his best!
always great. So energising...
Beautiful.
There are some songs that are better on the studio version, this is one of them in my opinion.
However, I love them when they smile each other or when Robert shakes his head. Best band in the world for me!!
