I've probably watched this Royal Albert HMMT (Page's 26th bday) more than any other live performance, so I'm glad the official account is finally publishing this. There are so many amazing things to listen and see: 1:37 - Bonzo's rolling kick triplets 2:08 - Page and JPJ playing the same lick and then smiling about it 2:20 - Bonzo's stick drop and recovery 3:08 - "I can't hear ya'. You paid your money... you gotta groove." 4:48 - JPJ bass power chords 6:36 - Plant quotes Buffalo Springfield's "On the Way Home" written by Neil Young, the first of two Neil songs Plant quotes here. 8:44 - The Whole Lotta Love tease 9:02 - Plant quotes "Down by the River" by Neil Young 10:25 - 13 year old me spent so much time playing with a Les Paul toggle switch after seeing this 11:15 - If you've never listened to Zeppelin live, these long jams often included a lot of blues covers. For the rest of the song, Page gives a masterclass in blues guitar, tone, band leadership, style, and dancing 12:08 - Going into Boogie Chillen', Page switches his pickups with his left hand, hammering on the low E. Just so cool. 13:14 - Bonzo's cowbell to crash choke 13:27 - Plant just slewing together all kinds of blues lyrics into one of the best sections of the jam 15:45 - "And you're gonna do it in Glasgow... and Glasgow neeeeds it!" 16:33 - You thought I was kidding about the dancing? 18:20 - Plant's scream is so loud, it's heard before he says it. It must be a product of the master recording, and I can never unhear it. Within a few years, Plant's voice was considerably changed due to these sort of yells. And he doesn't even hit his expectations for it, apologizing with "I couldn't make it that time." 19:11 - Plant's hand signs, the cry for please, is just an awesome finish. 19:25 - Few bands closed out songs better than Zeppelin.
It’s ok for Page, Jones and Bonham to play like that every night, but for Plant to do that with his voice for even one performance is nothing short of astounding. Led Zeppelin is the greatest there ever was and is ever likely to be.
Yes. He could still sing those years. I can ' t understand why people love Physical Grafitti and Kashmir. Robert' s voice is gone and awful compared to this.
Not as strong, but it still serves well in Kashmir Still, I sorta agree, it's a shame. If only Plant had taken better care of his voice, we coulda heard notes like these on the later albums :(
All I can say is thank God this concert was recorded. There will never be another Led Zeppelin. This needs to be preserved for all future generations. This music lives on for eternity. This was like some kind of spiritual experience.
@@billhorstkamp98Yeah it was his birthday, 1/9/1970 was this concert. I’m glad they kept all this stuff because I’m 20 years old and they’ve been my favorite band for the best part of a decade. They’re the best live band to exist, I wish I would have been able to be alive to see them
@@sparky6218 you have great taste. They’ve been my favorite band for 45 years. Was going to see them in 1980 and John Bonham passed. Fortunate enough to seen Jimmy Page with the firm several times. And I saw page and plant many times. Never got to see Led Zeppelin. So yeah, definitely. I’m very grateful we have this .have a wonderful day, man.✌🏼
How many more times i can listen to this song? is infinite imposible is over and over again never stop about 100 times in a single year as well many others of them who could not?
Whenever I say I think this has always been my favorite Led Zeppelin song, people say something like "Okay?" and look at me like I need my head examined. But it has such a fantastic groove, a little like a really great James Brown groove. Think: "Doin' it to Death." Hypnotic and relentless! And the sizzle in Jimmy's guitar! Psychedelic soul. Not quite as crazy about these live versions but they're still great.
@@amyswinehouse3720 i’ve seen the dead many times. Santana. Saw Jefferson Airplane at the Napa county fairgrounds... when we were teenagers we would drive to San Francisco and walk down the Haight and get some psychedelics. That was around 1980. The neighborhood had changed quite a bit from the late 60s. Fortunately, there were still a few hippies around doing their thing.😊✌🏼
@@amyswinehouse3720 yeah, I never got the heat Quicksilver Messenger Service, or Janice with big brother. I was born a few years too late. I was three in the summer of love.😂✌🏼
Jimmy went to a journalist friend and said he has a new band he wants to promote. I asked what's it called? He told me and I wrote "Lead Zepp....", no, "Led". It's heavy as a lead zeppelin- but it doesn't go over like one! It takes off and doesn't land for 2+ hours. George Harrison was going to a show and asked when the intermission is. There's no intermission, they go on at 8:00pm and finish at 10:30pm. "What?!!!" He'd never heard of such a thing. Zepp was first for many things.

And again… what makes Led Zeppelin the best rocking band of all time… in the middle of their own song… they break out the oldies and the blues… no one will never ever again be like them.. Zeppelin was a class act .. in a class of their own
They always did some fun medleys . they would do it on this song in the early years and later years, they reserved it for whole Lotta love. Incredible band
It blows my mind that at the time this was recorded, Jimmy Page was 26 (this was recorded on his birthday), John Paul Jones was 24, and Robert Plant and John Bonham were both 21.
Masterfull I look and listen to this and I keep thinking what it must have been like seeing and hearing them and what a gift that would have been able to see and hear them for the first time back then. If you were lucky enough to see and her them perform this back in the late 60s you had to know that these guys were on the forefront on a music revolution.
Yes, man. Promise I haven't seen your comment before and I wrote basically the exact same thing in another video of this. It's the nastiest, sexiest fucking riff ever. So sleazy.
Reid recommended Plant who was playing down on the Blacktop with Bonham in a tavern in the Band of Joy...Jimmy and JPJ came there and saw Plant and Robert recommended Bonham for the drummer...He told Page that's who he plays with is Bonham...they were best friends friends back in the day...
@Paulllllllllllllllllll Nah, the first time Page ever met Bonham was when he went to watch him play after Plant recommended him. What happened was that Page first asked Terry Reid to be the vocalist. Terry said "No thanks, but you should check out Robert Plant instead". Page recruited Plant, but not before Plant said "While you're looking for a drummer, you should check out my old bandmate Bonzo too". Prior to that, neither Page nor Jones had ever played with Bonzo. Plant and Bonzo played in bands which mostly performed in the West Midlands, far from the London session music scene. Plant and Bonzo's band did sometimes tour around London so it is perhaps possible that either Page or Jones could have seen either perform in gigs when they were in town, but AFAIK, there is no recording that they ever played together prior to their famous first jam session in August '68, after they had all already signed onto the New Yardbirds.
@@allsystemsgo8678 in those days you probably had to watch what the band was doing, because dancing and moving around and yelling would distract you from the fact that AY!! THESE FUCKERS ARE REALLY GOOD!! WHAT ARE THEY DOING?!
Remember at 15 Jimi Page was the most sought after session player in England. John Paul Jones could play anything. John Bonham. Drummer, period. Plant one of the best vocalist ever. There will never be another like them. BTW. Saw Plant with Band of Joy doing Ramble On. He hasn't lost a thing!.
@@lucalone - lol.. you’re fairly naïve if you think only Page liked younger groupies.. Pricilla Presley let the secret out of Elvis & his 14 & up girls. When she found out that’s when she left. She was 14 herself moving from Germany to his palace. Why mention something every one knows about?
Right you are. People can argue and fuss all they want, but i dont care. The influence. The sales. The diversity of the songs. The influence on modern music groups. Only the Beatles are even close
If I had 1 time travel request, it would be to go back to 1970 for this concert, this performance. Greatest live performance in the history of rock and roll. Full stop.
@@billhorstkamp98 And Plant. He was friends with Bonham and suggested him for the drummer. Apparently after their first song, first rehearsal they all looked at each other and gave each other silly grins, realising, each of them, just how good they were together.
The most musically imaginative group made up of great professionals, the greatest. I loved and will always love this band, I will die listening to LED ZEPPELIN.
Deep purple, the who , great 😃 bands. Something about Zeppelin, it's a different vibe. The Zepp vibe it sucks you in , it's on a different level. It's contagious, once you here it, there's no going back . Your a fan ☺️ for life. Music at it's all time best.
They were so connected that, after improvisation of on of them, totally implanned of vourse, falling from the sky...they were able to reconnect in total harmony. I'm 78 years le, living in Europe and, unfortunately, never saw them live. But I listen to them many times a week. They send me to the sky.😊
I listened to Led Zep for the first time as a young teen when my sister bought the Led Zep IV album in the mid 70's. At 15 all I asked for my birthday was for tickets to go see them live. My sister and her boyfriend took me to the concert. Been a huge fan ever since. Been listening to mostly blues the last 20 years or so...makes sense I loved Led Zep from the start.
High wire act without a net, the improvisation of Jimmy can never be matched, and the ability of the other 3 to keep up is insane, if you play an instrument it’s a special thing to play with someone that can read your mind, and all four of them could, add to that all of them masters at their craft, the stars had to align for these four to find each other. The greatest band that ever was or ever will be.
They're all listening very closely to what each other are doing. Hats of to JPJ and especially Bonham, they are constantly adjusting the metering to Page. No one is a bigger Page fan than me, but he didn't always "color within the lines" those first couple of years they were together, sometimes he'd miss or add a beat somewhere.
I completely agree! And being a guitarist, I have to say, to me anyway, Jimmy Page is absolutely my favorite guitarist of all time. He could play just about any style of music and make it his own. They look like they are just having fun jamming, not performing for an audience!
Page’s 26 Birthday Party was Truly an ElectricK Night! They are Truly The Most Iconic Rock and Roll Band of them All!. This Music will Live Forever because it’s Timeless. Everytime I hear them it’s like the First time I Heard them. So musically Heavy yet commercially Accessible to Everyone! HAMMER of the GODS Forever ♾️ ZoSo 4 Life!
I love how they improvised in their concerts,They turned an 8 minute song to a 20 minute song Every moment they play you don’t know what’s coming next ! Great band❤
Just incredible all absolutely sending it Bonzo just swinging the tune along JPJ nailing the bottom end and providing light and shade Jimmy just playing in that kind of loose but tight way and Percy just screaming from his soul. It don’t get any better.
I'm a 58 yr old Aussie who studied classical guitar performance at Sydney Conservatorium, Australia, and have played in many cover bands over the years and I always got the most joy and fun when playing Zeppelin songs. Some are too hard to get with a four-piece (JPJ was just integral and without him/or a doppelganger, some songs just aren't possible) but there are enough of the solid rock songs to fill out the set list happily for a guitarist like me. I was only 15 when John Bonham passed but I had a year or so of joy for myself with them together. Playing Zeppelin is not like playing other band's songs as there really is an 'X' factor to them and they really have to be played well or not at all. Thank you, universe, for Led Zeppelin.
That 10:20 break and onwards is arguably the best moment in music history, imho... Absolutely unrepeatable by nowadays rock bands. Purest improvisation of super modern by that time music style.
The most significant rock band in the world. Their work is of a planetary scale and possesses the beauty, power and passion that have conquered and are still conquering the hearts of millions around the globe, which, I think, if they announced their concert now, would become their entire concert world stage. And at that Great Concert, the song 'How many more Times', sounded in the middle of the concert, became the powerful engine that gave all the happy viewers that wonderful impulse that brought them into orbit of the Heights of all the beauty of their Music and the world recognition of their favorite band, which amaze with their scale to this day. GREAT!!! ROCK&METAL FOREVER!!!💖💎
These jams are the reason why I love Led Zeppelin so much and why they are my favourite band ❤️ they are just jamming around for 10 minutes during a live performance and you don't even know which part was the best. Every time when you think they finish and go on with the main riff the add another layer of this awesome blues jam. Unbelievable.
Cosmic chemistry and godly grooves. Bonham and Jones keeping the peace from the shadows while Page and Plant strike lightning that Zeus himself couldn’t match.
You can have fame and fortune and play big arenas and have many expensive guitars and instruments but they were never as good as this playing heavy blues rock in a hall with one guitar, rockin bass guitar , banging drums and pure heart and soul from Percy
Let me tell you something. As a youngster my big brother turned me on to the mighty led zeppelin. From The Beatles, to pink Floyd, and beyond, led zeppelin captured my soul. To all you led heads keep rocking life is short let's do this white and get the led in and out
Thank God for this moment because music like this will never come again. This is a singular event in history, analog bands like this, performing live in front of fans who couldn’t access it any other way. Talent and culture combined to give us something special.
5 years span of these guys being the ultimate amazing all time vibe feel the music band. This is pure magic. Try to put yourself in that audience in 1969… like what !? 🤯

Apparently after their first song, first rehearsal they all looked at each other and gave each other silly grins, realising, each of them, just how good they were together.
I’m glad I clicked on this today. I’ve seen it before but…there’s always much to pick up once you’ve seen it again. They’re still sorta finding their feet here for what was inevitably coming. That whole medley of fifties classics and the Boogie section in ‘73.
Albert Hall 1970. Best Zep show I've seen or heard. Plant's voice strong and cutting through the music. The band is at their rocking best. Bonzo blasting out the beat, JPJ"s solid bass and Page's edgy rock n blues guitar. Love it always.
No two Led Zeppelin songs are the same. They were the most versatile band of the time. For live performances, I recommend the 1970 concert at the Royal Albert Hall or the 1979 Knebworth Festival.

@@lucalone - lol.. you’re fairly naïve if you think only Page liked younger groupies.. Pricilla Presley let the secret out of Elvis & his 14 & up girls. When she found out that’s when she left. She was 14 herself moving from Germany to his palace.
Why mention something every one knows about?
15:30, when a band is so in tune with their audience that they start improving off the audience's beat. No other band could ever do that.
LIAR!! Hendrix did, AND STILL DOES, so STFU
I've now watched this at least ten times. I'm now convinced this really is the greatest band ever.
I think your right .. hands down greatest .
Greatest band playing their greatest live song. This to me is the perfect Zeppelin live performance
Right you are. People can argue and fuss all they want, but i dont care. The influence. The sales. The diversity of the songs. The influence on modern music groups. Only the Beatles are even close
Queen and led Zeppelin.
Without a doubt the greatest
If I had 1 time travel request, it would be to go back to 1970 for this concert, this performance. Greatest live performance in the history of rock and roll. Full stop.
the fact that the audience isn't filled with time travellers means time travel will never be invented
@@geoffrobinson love that. so on point.
I'm so glad these 4 guy's found each other! All are genius!! 🎶🤗🎵
@@beckylynn209 you can thank Jimmy Page for that
@@billhorstkamp98 And Plant. He was friends with Bonham and suggested him for the drummer. Apparently after their first song, first rehearsal they all looked at each other and gave each other silly grins, realising, each of them, just how good they were together.
It was a musical miracle. Thanks God.
@@mariececile3973 absolutely..thank God ✌🏼
@@mariececile3973 Aye !! That it was, that it was !!
Jimmy oh God!!!❤😅This really is the music of the Gods!!!
The most musically imaginative group made up of great professionals, the greatest.
I loved and will always love this band, I will die listening to LED ZEPPELIN.
AH! WHEN ROCK
MUSIC WAS "TRUE"!
Me Too!
Deep purple, the who , great 😃 bands. Something about Zeppelin, it's a different vibe. The Zepp vibe it sucks you in , it's on a different level. It's contagious, once you here it, there's no going back . Your a fan ☺️ for life. Music at it's all time best.
Me to. Well, I will to be old, very old, and still remember all their music
WOW! Cheers!🎤✨
They were so connected that, after improvisation of on of them, totally implanned of vourse, falling from the sky...they were able to reconnect in total harmony. I'm 78 years le, living in Europe and, unfortunately, never saw them live. But I listen to them many times a week. They send me to the sky.😊
of course
Greatest 20 minutes in rock n roll history
My Lord: Zep absolutely destroyed this night. The groove Jonesy and Bonzo laid down is sick.
What a voice. Legendary.
Back when Plant was the best rock singer in the world.
I listened to Led Zep for the first time as a young teen when my sister bought the Led Zep IV album in the mid 70's. At 15 all I asked for my birthday was for tickets to go see them live. My sister and her boyfriend took me to the concert. Been a huge fan ever since. Been listening to mostly blues the last 20 years or so...makes sense I loved Led Zep from the start.
I’ll never understand why people are so enamored with the Dead. This is live improvisation that is exciting and POWERFUL! Zeppelin forever!
This band is unparalleled, and unattainable, will be heard for eternity.
Well said 😊
Over 51 years ago, and still unmatched
Nobody should ever forget this concert. Fucking legendary, enough said
High wire act without a net, the improvisation of Jimmy can never be matched, and the ability of the other 3 to keep up is insane, if you play an instrument it’s a special thing to play with someone that can read your mind, and all four of them could, add to that all of them masters at their craft, the stars had to align for these four to find each other. The greatest band that ever was or ever will be.
They're all listening very closely to what each other are doing. Hats of to JPJ and especially Bonham, they are constantly adjusting the metering to Page. No one is a bigger Page fan than me, but he didn't always "color within the lines" those first couple of years they were together, sometimes he'd miss or add a beat somewhere.
Great comment and so true.
Bonham and Jones were page’s safety ney
@@frankkolton1780I saw JPJ play mandolin, upright bass, and fiddle in one concert with Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings. Incredible
Easily the greatest band to have ever walked on stage and just jammed.....
I completely agree! And being a guitarist, I have to say, to me anyway, Jimmy Page is absolutely my favorite guitarist of all time. He could play just about any style of music and make it his own. They look like they are just having fun jamming, not performing for an audience!
@@JimMargie exactly what I see
Yes, exactly what I thought.@@JimMargie
Page’s 26 Birthday Party was Truly an ElectricK Night! They are Truly The Most Iconic Rock and Roll Band of them All!. This Music will Live Forever because it’s Timeless. Everytime I hear them it’s like the First time I Heard them. So musically Heavy yet commercially Accessible to Everyone! HAMMER of the GODS Forever ♾️ ZoSo 4 Life!
I love how they improvised in their concerts,They turned an 8 minute song to a 20 minute song
Every moment they play you don’t know what’s coming next !
Great band❤
If I get another ad in the middle of this masterpiece I’m gonna fucking snap
A few ad blockers are free.
Well thank God for UA-cam. You can see what a real rock band really is!
This is perfect blues, hard rock and heavy metal at the same time.
Led Zeppelin never dies
Just incredible all absolutely sending it Bonzo just swinging the tune along JPJ nailing the bottom end and providing light and shade Jimmy just playing in that kind of loose but tight way and Percy just screaming from his soul. It don’t get any better.
I'm a 58 yr old Aussie who studied classical guitar performance at Sydney Conservatorium, Australia, and have played in many cover bands over the years and I always got the most joy and fun when playing Zeppelin songs. Some are too hard to get with a four-piece (JPJ was just integral and without him/or a doppelganger, some songs just aren't possible) but there are enough of the solid rock songs to fill out the set list happily for a guitarist like me. I was only 15 when John Bonham passed but I had a year or so of joy for myself with them together. Playing Zeppelin is not like playing other band's songs as there really is an 'X' factor to them and they really have to be played well or not at all. Thank you, universe, for Led Zeppelin.
@@Skinny_Karlos well said Brother✌🏼
@@billhorstkamp98 Thanks man. They really left a wealth of great songs to play and listen too, eh? Zeppelin rules !!
@@Skinny_Karlos absolutely Brother. They’ve been my favorite band since I was about 12. I listen every day. Have a great night.✌🏼
@@billhorstkamp98 Same. You have a good one too.
1973 NYC performance was splendid but this one is maximum LZ
Doesn't get any better than this.
@@ianmichaelshaw4492 no it doesn’t
The magic thing about Led Zeppelin is they just had this underlying almost funky groove to their music.
The best rock band ever!
That connection between them. Perfection
I want you to think about the good things in life! I want you to think about the things that should be!
Robert Plant... The prophet of Rock N Roll. When it comes down to it....Robert just sings about LOVE. Peace and love.
@@Caledoniarose don’t forget sex
@@CaledoniaroseMy 18 years.
At 9:48 when Jimmy gets in that power/shredding stance, you know he’s just about to unload on his guitar
LED Zeppelin a maior banda de rock pauleira de todos os tempos pura magia total total 🇧🇷🔥🤘🏾🎸🥁🎹🎤⭐🌙🪱🔱⛈️✌🏾🕯️
That 10:20 break and onwards is arguably the best moment in music history, imho... Absolutely unrepeatable by nowadays rock bands. Purest improvisation of super modern by that time music style.
I agree, absolutely insane what they were doing
Dude let's start playing another blues! Lmfao
Unmatched talent
The most significant rock band in the world. Their work is of a planetary scale and possesses the beauty, power and passion that have conquered and are still conquering the hearts of millions around the globe, which, I think, if they announced their concert now, would become their entire concert world stage. And at that Great Concert, the song 'How many more Times', sounded in the middle of the concert, became the powerful engine that gave all the happy viewers that wonderful impulse that brought them into orbit of the Heights of all the beauty of their Music and the world recognition of their favorite band, which amaze with their scale to this day. GREAT!!! ROCK&METAL FOREVER!!!💖💎
The best band ever!!!!!
These jams are the reason why I love Led Zeppelin so much and why they are my favourite band ❤️ they are just jamming around for 10 minutes during a live performance and you don't even know which part was the best. Every time when you think they finish and go on with the main riff the add another layer of this awesome blues jam. Unbelievable.
Never the same song done the same twice, That's the magic!
The level of brilliance is unmatched
Cosmic chemistry and godly grooves. Bonham and Jones keeping the peace from the shadows while Page and Plant strike lightning that Zeus himself couldn’t match.
How poetic. How just. Poetic justice.
Damn, the emotion from everyone is ELECTRIC! Greatest band of all time! Led Zeppelin is the definition of legendary
Why unlike what’s the reason this is one of the best shows out there they played insanely Robert’s voice was so powerful
What a live performance ! That voice 😳 , the guitars & drums … simply unmatched perfection 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You can have fame and fortune and play big arenas and have many expensive guitars and instruments but they were never as good as this playing heavy blues rock in a hall with one guitar, rockin bass guitar
, banging drums and pure heart and soul from Percy
Now THIS is WORK! Led Zeppelin: never before, never again. GOAT.
The chemistry amongst the 4 of them was beyond amazing👍🏼ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏼🤙🏼✌🏼
You see this only in family or long time friend bands. These were all-stars coming out of a blues academy.
There was no “front man”in Led Zeppelin the band were all stars 🌟 in their own right
An absolutely jaw dropping performance. The level of musicianship and vocal prowess is otherworldly.
No one will match what they did
Let me tell you something. As a youngster my big brother turned me on to the mighty led zeppelin. From The Beatles, to pink Floyd, and beyond, led zeppelin captured my soul. To all you led heads keep rocking life is short let's do this white and get the led in and out
Thank God for this moment because music like this will never come again. This is a singular event in history, analog bands like this, performing live in front of fans who couldn’t access it any other way. Talent and culture combined to give us something special.
Man have we ever gone downhill. I'd imagine you'd be ruined for all concerts again if you were an attendee.
Best rock n roll band of all time🤟
We need this live concert on CDs or Tidal.
Man, the drums is sounding so good and defines the Bonham's sound.
Been on bootleg CD for years
@@Perthshire some of us already knew about them, but it would be nice if we can purchase them officially.
It’s on DVD
5 years span of these guys being the ultimate amazing all time vibe feel the music band.
This is pure magic. Try to put yourself in that audience in 1969… like what !? 🤯
Zeplin hit me at 14
Addicted Ever since then.. 52 yrs later..still enthralled entertained and addicted❤❤
ME TOO!!! At 65 years young in 2024, since I was about 14.
@@debbywatson7217 it’s a way of life✌🏼
No drummer like Bohnam existed on earth in 1970. Playing straight on the verge of swing with awesome power was a Bohnam speciality.
Найкраща група. Кожна з їх пісень вартує більше, ніж вся сучасна музика разом узята.
¡Si!
Згоден на 100 відсотків!!!
я їх відкрив для себе в повному обсязі півтора роки назад і підсів, справжня залежність) намагався знайти інші гурти з чимось подібним, але все не те, ні Діп Пьорпл, ні Айсі Дісі, ні Ганс нд Розес ніхто не видає подібного космосу.
@@badikkkkk брате, послухай Greta Van Fleet. Справжні LZ 21 століття :)
...за последние 40 лет...
Absolute, totally unbelievable ....for guys in their 20s......never will we see the likes of this again
Apparently after their first song, first rehearsal they all looked at each other and gave each other silly grins, realising, each of them, just how good they were together.
I’m glad I clicked on this today. I’ve seen it before but…there’s always much to pick up once you’ve seen it again. They’re still sorta finding their feet here for what was inevitably coming. That whole medley of fifties classics and the Boogie section in ‘73.
When you listen to their music your entire body is filled with it. They are my all time fave. A real turn on.
You said that perfectly ✌🏼
Albert Hall 1970. Best Zep show I've seen or heard. Plant's voice strong and cutting through the music. The band is at their rocking best. Bonzo blasting out the beat, JPJ"s solid bass and Page's edgy rock n blues guitar. Love it always.
I'm so glad I got to see Zeppelin in concert in 77. And God rest his soul the Great John Bonham❤
Да ,поставили Цеппелины на уши нашу планету...Спасибо!
60-ые,70-ые годы рванули к звездам по -настоящему.
Want to race? Can I fucking do something for god sake I was just lookin out never mind
I'm here!!! 1 september 2024

Magic.. Magic.. Best band ever!!!
My God...stellar performance! Nobody can touch them! They were the greatest band in history!!
This is the pinnacle of live rock and roll.
Agreed. Finest live performance I’ve heard.
not really.....the Faces and Guns at their peak were better, imo
above them is the sun!

19:56, the SPEED of Bonzo's arms. 🥁
This performance is simply mindblowing.
Outstanding video and concert. Plant was phenomenal in his prime,. It's hard to believe that he is only 21 here for this concert. Unbelievable!
Zeppelins music never ages. 100 years from now people will still be talking about this band..
The greatest rock band of all time🙏🏻
Luv ya LZ💙
"Led Zeppelin live at the Royal Albert hall " is my favorite live of Led Zeppelin, I watched really many times
They were on fire here! 🔥
I always love the bit at 9:39. When that riff comes in!
When rock was rock, can't get any heavier than this my friends, man were they heavy hitters. R.I.P. Bonzo
Heavy as hell without being
Try hard wannabes
No two Led Zeppelin songs are the same. They were the most versatile band of the time. For live performances, I recommend the 1970 concert at the Royal Albert Hall or the 1979 Knebworth Festival.
