It depends on where you grew up. My parents were in Western Montana. They had never really heard Hendrix or Zeppelin until I discovered their music in the early 1990s.
This is actually the audio of Zeppelin’s performance of “Bring it On Home” at Royal Albert Hall in 1970 laid over footage of them performing the same song at the Bath Festival in 1970. Nevertheless, it’s absolutely fantastic and dearly appreciated!
That and because Zeppelin never played anything twice even remotely the same from one concert to the next, yeah I think you're correct. Any other band, which would be a lesser band, an argument could be made against it.
I was at the Bath Festival in 1970, and this is the best clip I've seen in nearly 52 and a half years of what for me was such a life changing experience! They..the Zep...were beyond brilliant...as were the Floyd, who were on the previous night. At the time, it all all felt so normal, but looking back from that 52 and a half years, it feels like the whole era, lasting nearly 20 years had magic dust sprinkled over it, it was such a unique time to be alive. All of us who were there in that 20 year musical period, we were the real winners in the lottery of life!! 😎😎
Wow - just wow. I'm laughing out loud at how f-ing awesome this is. 4 supremely talented guys, on stage, plugged in, no screens, few effects, Page wearing a raincoat - and they're absolutely KILLING IT! Lightning in a bottle. 1970 was much cooler than 2022.
It, to me had the best lineup ever. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Santana, Frank Zappa, The Moody Blues, Jefferson Airplane, Johnny Winter etc etc on the same bill. I lived just up the road and walked there.
I was eight. But the end of the decade I had travelled to Knebworth from Bristol after work one Saturday evening… I grew up in the 70s. And these guys were the soundtrack.
In those days they sat around and listened. Not just because they were appreciating the music but because this was the first time this kind of music had been heard. It's hard for young people today to understand that point because everything they hear is a rehash but in the 60s and 70s it was all brand new. What a time to be alive. The coolest of the cool.
The thing is... Led Zep did not invent blues. This music was nothing new.... but being performed this way was. Louder and sexier. And they were all top notch musicians no doubt but they were riding on the coattails of greats not unlike many other greats. So give Greta Van Fleet some slack FFS.
It had taken a day to get there, there was little to eat or drink, it rained on and off, most of us were simply knackered. We rocked in our sleeping bags where we were. Dancing wasn't a big thing then either.
Jimmy plays the solo -- "cut to Robert's shoes!" -- Jimmy continues solo -- "Stay on the shoes!" -- some nice riffs by Jimmy -- "Just stay on those shoes! Don't dare cut away from the shoes!"
Such a cooler time in music and the world then what we are living in now in 2023. great music, great bands, and cool people. no cell phones. just real pure music done by the best musicians. Zeppelin has never been matched to this day. I am happy I got to see Zeppelin twice in 1977.
@@vicprovost2561 Agree. Early 90’s was special for me because the late 80’s hair bands made me physically ill. Lots and lots of the same garbage. My gawd that was a horrible time for music.
Those of us who grew up in this era were truly blessed with sooooo many great bands. Real musicians who had to rely on their talent alone to make beautiful music. Unfortunately for me my hearing is shot due to so many concerts but hey I wouldn’t change a thing.❤
So right!...I just left a comment saying......"What happened?....Where have all the great bands & music gone"?...It's all over now but we were so lucky to have lived through this period!
I love how at the beginning of the song everyone is laying around looking strung out, stoned or just plain exhausted. By the end of the song everyone is dancing and full of energy. Freakin amazing.
That's actually called editing. Most of the crowd is pretty lame. Not the type of crowd you'd find at a Zep-only gig from 71-77. These were mostly older hippies.
Robert Plant at the top of his game here. To this day, no one has come close to his ability as a front man in ANY band, and I'm pretty sure no-one ever will.
Can’t believe it - I was there 53 years ago. Drove up from Exeter, rained a lot, fantastic line up - all the great bands playing. Got 2 black and white photos.
@@morbidmanmusic I guess it depends on why one goes to see a live band perform. A mosh pit can be quite distracting but then again the 90's were all about forming a mosh pit or the band felt they were doing something wrong. The 70's were certainly a different time.
Wrong. Everything is not " underrated" because you found out about it last week. Stop using that word to describe THEE WORLDS largest most popular band, and everything else around you.

We were there; my wife and me and our best friend Roger Newell and his wife Babsie; Roger went on to play bass in Rick Wakemans English Rock Ensemble. It was a totally awesome experience; from the hippies selling bongfulls of weed by the walkway into main area, to the guys with "Ice Cream Usherette Trays" selling "acid - lovely acid - quid a hit" to the announcements between each act asking the friends of this person and that to go to the Release tent where there friend was having a really bad trip. There has never been such a fantastic lineup anywhere since.
These were anthems for the enlightened and freedom-loving generation. Even me, a 90s child, swear by them. I cannot believe the majority of the younger generations don't even know who they are...
I still vividly recall my best friend calling me to say the Zep concert we had tickets for was canceled because Bonham died. Tears were shed. I was so young and Led Zep was like our world. Now all these years later find out this friend of mine just died. Life can be a cruel hoax. However, we have all this great music at our fingertips. Double edged sword.
I wasn't even born then (was born in '75 . . . 48 years old as I type this this). Those ladies were very attractive and natural. Such cool footage . . . pity that the music in the clip isn't actually from Bath Festival, but from a Royal Albert Hall performance.
Can't help thinking the crowd would be around the 70 to 80 years old mark now? If they're lucky, I mean I was just turned 9 at this time, think you could watch this in 200 years time and still be hypnotised by it, just the best of times, sorry I was just too young, but in the 70's I caught up, someone take me back please.
Yes I was there and will 74 soon, it was for me the best festival, not just Zep and Floyd, there were so many great acts that weekend, still have many memories, we left there and went to Amsterdam to the Paradiso club a week later, happy times indeed. Was at the first Glasto as well, but that was a let down after Bath.
The neanderthal rawness of that era won't be replicated. The Who playing Tommy at Woodstock brings a tear to my eye: ua-cam.com/video/E1Y-QKgmYYQ/v-deo.html
This footage is great, I've never seen it before. The audio sounds like it's the version from the Royal Albert Hall from earlier that year. Another fantastic concert
It is exactly the same so what you are watching here is likely 16mm silent footage or the original sound was very poor, it explains all the excess crowd shots.
@@David-wf4ev those that are gyrating wildly or exhibit other odd body contortions are often suspect, but other drugs may have similar effect. Even an excess of beer.
Hope folks that went to this show are still rocking in their latter years of 70's and 80's. I was 11 in 1970. Had no idea who Led Zeppelin was in 1970 but did by the time I was 14. Great stuff
I was born in 70. My dad was working as a bellhop in 1971 at a hotel Zepplin stayed at for 3 days. Him and my mom saw them that weekend at a festival they Mainstaged. My dad got Zepplin 2 signed by the whole band I have it till this day and the album still sounds great.
There was a magical electricity to early Led Zeppelin. The studio albums from this era are all stone-cold classics, but there crackling energy of their live performances is equally amazing. I don't think we'll ever see a group of musicians with that much talent and that much chemistry in my lifetime.
tons of bands had that much talent & way more: Allman Brothers Band, Cream, Santana, Ten Years After, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Earth Wind, & Fire, Johnny Winter And, Blood Sweat, & Tears, Grateful Dead, Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Mountain, Pink Floyd, & many obscure bands such Amon Duul 2, Atomic Rooster, Gong, Coliseum, Man, Cactus, Chambers Bros, Three Man Army to name a few.
@@jessewolf7649 Allman Brothers Band kicked all their asses live, Duane, Dickey, & Berry blowing the roof off propelled by the best dual drummers Butch & Jaimoe of all time, & Gregg singing like no other. blisters posers like zeppelin & rolling stones 🎸🎸🎸
Saw them in Long Island 71/72 then in Tampa '73. Tampa was outside and general admission so we rushed the stage and sat right up front. Seen many greats even the Beatles at Shea but Zeppelin live was a complete assault of the senses - an otherworldly experience.
@@stephenstone8480 yep, Rory Gallagher, Roy Buchanan, Danny Gatton, & a zillon more smoke 'em..ten years after, the original Allman Brothers Band, Cactus, ELP, Marshall Tucker Band, & Jeff Beck yArdbiRds 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Ironically I too have been a Zep head for 37 years. I’m 54 and started getting into them at 17. My first time seeing this footage too. They sounded amazing.
Robert Plants hair, omg…gorgeous. Love his harp playing and the way his beautiful hands form around it. What a Handsome, masculine man!! The Golden God. 🤩💖
Love this! Thanks for getting me out of my dreary morning! I saw them at KNEBWORTH. Festival UK in 1979! I’m UK ancestry,FOLKSTON to be exact) 😊😊😊but reside in Canada.
Me too I was actually at this concert and it was quite amazing. The loudest band I had ever heard. Was 16 at the time my next concert was Isle of Wight and the late great Jimi Hendrix
I was there too, quite near the front, they got the sound right, nice and loud. Remember it being wet. Everyone was up on their feet, it was a really good set. I was also at the Isle of Wight festival later that summer. Great times! I was 18
@@sarahisstellina It wasn't expensive for the ticket, £2 or £3, we hitchhiked down there from London. I enjoyed Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Johnny Winter was good, Jefferson Airplane, Frank Zappa, Country Joe and the Fish, there were so many good bands on.
dude our posters coming to life!!!..l remember in the 80s in ny .. we just had posters bad bootleg records the song remains the same movie midnight shows and the planetarium lazer shows this was unheard of...finally we can all enjoy greatness
This is the 1st footage I've ever seen of the Bath Festival 1970 - fantastic! 5 of us had travelled down from Hull overnight and when we got within 10 miles of the Shepton Mallet Showground we hit the tailend of the traffic jam at 10 in the morning. What to do? Well by the time we got into festival we were obliterated on a combo of weed, acid and srumpy! Absolutely wasted. I went to sleep and woke up in the middle of this set - it was amazing! That week was to change my life, after Bath we went directly to the 1st Glastonbury Festival where Hawkwind were playing and I ended up roadying for them for the next 7 years. Never went back to Hull. The Bath Festival was 1 of the best festivals of all times IMHO. Some of the best bands of the time were there - Zep, Floyd, Santana, The Turtles and most of the CBS stable played. A moment in time never to be repeated! I was 18 and now I'm 70 - WTF! Where did the time go? Man it's been a blast!
@@mrmuz85 oh. theres no audio from the video..... sounds like maybe a tonebender or something is in front of the hiwatts if your right about the amp.... his was modded tho so not sure what that did from standard loud clean steely.
First of all, those silver-toed electric blue boots (@3:26) of Robert's are to die for. Then there's Jonesy's pants, and Jimmy bundled up in a tweed coat with hat pulled down on a June day, while Bonzo slaps away in a tee. Classic Zep!
The New Yardbirds played down on the beach where I’ve lived all of my life. South Florida at Pirates World as Led Zepplin, Miami Beach, The Sportatorium, drove west to Tampa for a concert. We were blessed.
Thank you Arthur, I was there that day and have never seen any footage before. The sound is excellent, never heard anything like that bass drum. I had seen them in Maryland, USA on an early tour supporting the Who and the Who they kicked ass that day. But at Bath no one could compare to Zepplin, they blew everyone off the stage. At the end of that summer I saw the whole of the Isle of Wight festival, it was such a great time of music. I saw the first Derek and the Dominoes gig and then again in Liverpool the day after Jimi died, Charles Mingus at Ronnie Scott's, Free at a little festival in Devon. The creative force of music meant something back then. I started playing in 1964 because of Charlie Watts and I still play and teach to this day. Thanks for the memories mate, cheers.
Hey thanks for sharing, I saw page and plant back end of the 90s, Paul "SMACKER" McCartney in earlier 200os and a whole host of others. Love the music and the vibe.
@@godbyone I said 'they' kicked ass. Opinions are like assholes - every one has one...yours is simply yours Were you there that day? If not how would know? If someone is 'better' that is merely your opinion. Don't compete, enjoy. Cheers
Just wanted to let everyone know that we're still tripping and dancing and getting HYPE to guitar solos and jams. This is not dead. If you feel it is, you have not discovered where it lies yet or are closed off to it. We dance together and each step is a prayer for humanity and an honoring of this beauty
How good and professionnal! That was decades before internet and years before color TV and even headphones, so, most kids spent a lot of time trying to learn music. From such a large pool of steady practitionners and would-be rock stars, dozens of geniuses emerged. The public had a fair notion of what real quality was. These guys were heroes and positive leaders!
This is simply wonderful image/video/film quality for 1970. This might be the best authentic imagery of Led Zeppelin that I've ever seen. How lucky are we. These guys were so far ahead of their time, it's just ridiculous.
Us boomers are the luckiest generation ever 💓 ❤ 💗
Totally agree, growing up in the 60s and 70s was the best time ever to be young!
It depends on where you grew up. My parents were in Western Montana. They had never really heard Hendrix or Zeppelin until I discovered their music in the early 1990s.

The neanderthal rawness of that era won't be replicated. The Who playing Tommy at Woodstock brings a tear to my eye:

Audio is from Royal Albert Hall and the video of that gig is pro shot in all its glory if you look it up
This footage is great, I've never seen it before. The audio sounds like it's the version from the Royal Albert Hall from earlier that year. Another fantastic concert
It is exactly the same so what you are watching here is likely 16mm silent footage or the original sound was very poor, it explains all the excess crowd shots.
I'd like to know how many folks there were tripping on acid ? 😂
@@David-wf4ev those that are gyrating wildly or exhibit other odd body contortions are often suspect, but other drugs may have similar effect. Even an excess of beer.
Exactly. There is most likely not any audio on the film here. However someone did their best to sync it up to the Royal Albert Hall performance.
Hope folks that went to this show are still rocking in their latter years of 70's and 80's. I was 11 in 1970. Had no idea who Led Zeppelin was in 1970 but did by the time I was 14. Great stuff
I was born in 70. My dad was working as a bellhop in 1971 at a hotel Zepplin stayed at for 3 days. Him and my mom saw them that weekend at a festival they Mainstaged. My dad got Zepplin 2 signed by the whole band I have it till this day and the album still sounds great.
We are!
Audience shots are priceless. Mostly tripping out of their minds, sitting quietly, or passed out
There was a magical electricity to early Led Zeppelin. The studio albums from this era are all stone-cold classics, but there crackling energy of their live performances is equally amazing. I don't think we'll ever see a group of musicians with that much talent and that much chemistry in my lifetime.
tons of bands had that much talent & way more: Allman Brothers Band, Cream, Santana, Ten Years After, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Earth Wind, & Fire, Johnny Winter And, Blood Sweat, & Tears, Grateful Dead, Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, Mountain, Pink Floyd, & many obscure bands such Amon Duul 2, Atomic Rooster, Gong, Coliseum, Man, Cactus, Chambers Bros, Three Man Army to name a few.
Not always good live ask Australia about that.
Stones
@@jessewolf7649 Allman Brothers Band kicked all their asses live, Duane, Dickey, & Berry blowing the roof off propelled by the best dual drummers Butch & Jaimoe of all time, & Gregg singing like no other. blisters posers like zeppelin & rolling stones 🎸🎸🎸
@@bbb8997 Saw them at the first Nebworth agree great live but a different kind of presence I think like the Dead
Valeu Artur é Rock and Rool. 😊
One of the absolute Best Groups ❤❤❤❤❤. Love Led Zeppelin Forever!
This is how legends play rock and roll🎤🎸🥁👍
Sam wynik oglądalności świadczy o tym zespole jakim był świetnym zespołem w tamtym czasie-SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loving the blondes and what a era to grow up in!
Saw them in Long Island 71/72 then in Tampa '73. Tampa was outside and general admission so we rushed the stage and sat right up front. Seen many greats even the Beatles at Shea but Zeppelin live was a complete assault of the senses - an otherworldly experience.
Imagine a world without this music being made and an entire robotic audience staring at some rectangular device. That would really suck huh?
Best damn rock band EVER!! I never realized Plant had such chops on the harmonica. Totally killer!!
Great band, no doubt about that...but well behind The Beatles and The Who...
Gretta Van WHO?
@@stephenstone8480 yep, Rory Gallagher, Roy Buchanan, Danny Gatton, & a zillon more smoke 'em..ten years after, the original Allman Brothers Band, Cactus, ELP, Marshall Tucker Band, & Jeff Beck yArdbiRds 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
@@rubytuesday4379 Walter and Wells couldn't sing like RP, so there.
@@stephenstone8480 I can understand the Beatles, personally I prefer zeppelin, but nah the who ain’t on the snake level as these two
Whoah! I’ve been a Zep head for 37 years and have NEVER seen this footage before!
Priceless!
Ironically I too have been a Zep head for 37 years. I’m 54 and started getting into them at 17. My first time seeing this footage too. They sounded amazing.
@@mikeys7536 Similar here. 55 now. Became a fan in '83 and still my favourite band.
Been with the lads since ‘68. I’m an old man now☹️
@@AnthonyWilliams-ew3wp don’t feel old~sad Anthony. I was 9 when older brother put their first album on his turntable; mind blown ever since.
I am so lucky to have seen them in person in 69 & 72!! Absolutely fantastic both times!! Love them STILL!!
Robert Plants hair, omg…gorgeous.
Love his harp playing and the way his beautiful hands form around it.
What a Handsome, masculine man!!
The Golden God. 🤩💖
Led Zeppelin what can you say just about every song was a masterpiece Bonham on drums so crisp.
I’d sell my soul to go back and see this live.
Thank you UA-cam for the replay!
They were / are such an amazingly talented group of musicians. They could never be replaced
This is a cover song
@@wrdswpns1139 This is a riff song. Tell us please the origin of this riff.
@@wrdswpns1139 Thanks for the scoop Captain Obvious💡
@@wrdswpns1139 OH I'm sorry, did you write the original?? Wow!
@@wrdswpns1139 only the blues intro is from a Willie Dixon song. The riff and rest of the song is original.
From those images, one can see how many of the audience didn't fully realise what they were watching. The utmost importance of that moment.
Super Led Zeppelin...!!!
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
with the way Plant can play harmonica.. it's amazing, he hasn't played it more throughout his career
Yep, fabulous harp player!
Rumor was he preferred the skin flute and was a master at the rusty trombone.
@@suckOnThese3 Could be the case but I would bet a years pay he has had many more hot woman playing his skin flute then you could imagine.
Heck just to be a fly on the wall back stage during those 25 minute drum solos. I am sure they were not just drinking pop and being gay lol.
Love this! Thanks for getting me out of my dreary morning! I saw them at KNEBWORTH. Festival UK in 1979! I’m UK ancestry,FOLKSTON to be exact) 😊😊😊but reside in Canada.
I want to see more from this concert…AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!
yes, maybe after the cameraman came back from his bathroom break and got the camera back from the plumber he loaned it to, lol.
I love how the audience just grooves with the music in their own space, completely consumed by the present moment.
Agreed, well said !!!
LSD
With the help of some strong acid...
Is the guy in the shades at 2:51 a young James Woods?!
For sure; love and miss those days of dancing with abandon!
Born in 1966 so i was brought up on led Zeppelin and I love them
I love JPJ's pants. The couldbe a great ski pant design.
Me too I was actually at this concert and it was quite amazing. The loudest band I had ever heard. Was 16 at the time my next concert was Isle of Wight and the late great Jimi Hendrix
So lucky!!
I was there too, quite near the front, they got the sound right, nice and loud. Remember it being wet. Everyone was up on their feet, it was a really good set.
I was also at the Isle of Wight festival later that summer.
Great times! I was 18
@@spruggins may I ask how much it was to be there? Who was your favorite?
@@sarahisstellina It wasn't expensive for the ticket, £2 or £3, we hitchhiked down there from London.
I enjoyed Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Johnny Winter was good, Jefferson Airplane, Frank Zappa, Country Joe and the Fish, there were so many good bands on.
Oh , big deal..
Tell ur grandkids!
It Means nothing on utube ..oh, ur so famous
U went to a concert
Hahaha haha Haha haha haha 🤪 😄hahaha
Those shoes, those shades, that hair! Awesome!
I love how John Paul Jones creates the total "groove" for this song; yet simultaneously JPJ is so unaffected by it. Beyond Cool!
Fresh, Raw Amazing Genius!!!
Fifty three years have passed and this music still sounds cool and relevant. How it works i don't undestand
Four genius talents. Together
When you’re one of the best rock n roll bands ever the music becomes ageless and timeless.
I was there also, so lucky to have witnessed this unforgettable music❤
I had a poster of this concert for 30 years, to see this live footage, is just absolutely amazing.😎👍
Earls court. Video good too. Shows more of Jimmy. And less of shoes
dude our posters coming to life!!!..l remember in the 80s in ny .. we just had posters bad bootleg records the song remains the same movie midnight shows and the planetarium lazer shows this was unheard of...finally we can all enjoy greatness
This is the 1st footage I've ever seen of the Bath Festival 1970 - fantastic! 5 of us had travelled down from Hull overnight and when we got within 10 miles of the Shepton Mallet Showground we hit the tailend of the traffic jam at 10 in the morning.
What to do? Well by the time we got into festival we were obliterated on a combo of weed, acid and srumpy! Absolutely wasted.
I went to sleep and woke up in the middle of this set - it was amazing!
That week was to change my life, after Bath we went directly to the 1st Glastonbury Festival where Hawkwind were playing and I ended up roadying for them for the next 7 years. Never went back to Hull.
The Bath Festival was 1 of the best festivals of all times IMHO.
Some of the best bands of the time were there - Zep, Floyd, Santana, The Turtles and most of the CBS stable played.
A moment in time never to be repeated!
I was 18 and now I'm 70 - WTF! Where did the time go?
Man it's been a blast!
I’ve lived a great life knowing Led Zeppelin
As an 80's teen Zep was every bit as good as the concerts i saw, VH, Priest, Ozzy, Ryche, Rush, Etc
Great Post!
Jimmy’s tone is spot on here.
Les Paul through Marshall super lead. It would have been nice if the camera man didn’t have foot fetish, we could have seen Page play.
Sound is from Royal Albert Hall
Played through HiWatts that night
@@mrmuz85 oh. theres no audio from the video..... sounds like maybe a tonebender or something is in front of the hiwatts if your right about the amp.... his was modded tho so not sure what that did from standard loud clean steely.
@@Lester-Paul weird how we keep getting closeups of the boots
First of all, those silver-toed electric blue boots (@3:26) of Robert's are to die for. Then there's Jonesy's pants, and Jimmy bundled up in a tweed coat with hat pulled down on a June day, while Bonzo slaps away in a tee. Classic Zep!
Damn, shame they didn't record everything like this back then, amazing quality
One of my favorite Zeppelin songs. They sound amazing live!
The New Yardbirds played down on the beach where I’ve lived all of my life. South Florida at Pirates World as Led Zepplin, Miami Beach, The Sportatorium, drove west to Tampa for a concert. We were blessed.
i was there.........stoned out of my mind, right in front of the stage. Great band.
Same here. But not stoned or at the front.
Looks like you weren't the only one tuned to the moon Luka, looks amazing mate👍
Wish I was You. Peace and Love.
We were right of stage looking at it from the front 8 encores got a bit boring
That was freaking awesome 😂
What a lovely pair of sunglasses girls - marvellous!¡!!🍀
Thank you Arthur, I was there that day and have never seen any footage before. The sound is excellent, never heard anything like that bass drum. I had seen them in Maryland, USA on an early tour supporting the Who and the Who they kicked ass that day. But at Bath no one could compare to Zepplin, they blew everyone off the stage.
At the end of that summer I saw the whole of the Isle of Wight festival, it was such a great time of music. I saw the first Derek and the Dominoes gig and then again in Liverpool the day after Jimi died, Charles Mingus at Ronnie Scott's, Free at a little festival in Devon. The creative force of music meant something back then. I started playing in 1964 because of Charlie Watts and I still play and teach to this day. Thanks for the memories mate, cheers.
Free back then would have been better than this
Hey thanks for sharing, I saw page and plant back end of the 90s, Paul "SMACKER" McCartney in earlier 200os and a whole host of others. Love the music and the vibe.
@@godbyone I said 'they' kicked ass. Opinions are like assholes - every one has one...yours is simply yours Were you there that day? If not how would know? If someone is 'better' that is merely your opinion. Don't compete, enjoy. Cheers
@@djizzah gimme a break
@@lwzola apples and oranges to me. I'd love to have seen either back then!
WoW! The power of live music! Long Live Led Zeppelin.
YEAH!!
I saw this months and months ago, back when I still had peace and freedom of choices!
I m digging the blondes with the outer space glasses.
Plant banged both of them.
Wow the best version of this classic my goodness Bonzo is insane 🥰🥰👍🏻👍🏻
Just wanted to let everyone know that we're still tripping and dancing and getting HYPE to guitar solos and jams. This is not dead. If you feel it is, you have not discovered where it lies yet or are closed off to it. We dance together and each step is a prayer for humanity and an honoring of this beauty
I never understand why ,dear lord why , every golden nugget of LZ film never just has a straight shot of the band with no cutaways or bs.
There at at least 3 cameras focused on the stage here. There must be way more footage.
YES totally. The stoned -out hippies are interesting for about 7 seconds. The rest of the time it's weird how they wouldn't just show the band.
Peter Grant?!
@@mitchb2305 We get to see the band's shoes too!
@@paulstuart132 - They wore some crazy shoes back then, right? Ha.
I was there too, &2.50 for the weekend, awesome memories .
How good and professionnal! That was decades before internet and years before color TV and even headphones, so, most kids spent a lot of time trying to learn music. From such a large pool of steady practitionners and would-be rock stars, dozens of geniuses emerged. The public had a fair notion of what real quality was. These guys were heroes and positive leaders!
This is simply wonderful image/video/film quality for 1970. This might be the best authentic imagery of Led Zeppelin that I've ever seen. How lucky are we. These guys were so far ahead of their time, it's just ridiculous.
Here’s the actual concert the soundtrack is taken from. ua-cam.com/video/uX5yhpO52AA/v-deo.htmlsi=onl29Xe42efbvIxs
