Jim Morrison was in the audience. He wrote about it in one of his many journals. I don't remember exactly what he wrote, but it was how Zeppelin were taking music in a completely different direction.
I was at this show at the Whiskey. Page had reformed the Yardbirds and they were billed as the "New" Yardbirds. No one knew who these other 3 guys were on stage with him. But when they started to play, every jaw in the place hung open for 2 hours. They only had 3 or 4 new songs and everything else were Yardbird standards. Can you imagine John Bonham playing in such a small venue, not to mention the rest of them. A few months later they played in London and now billed as Led Zeppelin!!!!!!!!
Mighty BonZo comes off kinda like m8tch Mitchell on illegal Chinese communist ster0ids here lol I always found the differences in the power dynamics of their individual playing styles extremely amusing The experience was so different from the mighty zep ........
haven't heard it before, thanks for uploading. yeah cool slower and heavier rendition, I like it. I think that Humble Pie's take on this song is also worth mentioning - even slower more soulful, acoustic version. They have cool video to this song , it's on YT.
A perfect example of Zeppelin's sheer power. It's like a 4 headed monster, they all know exactly what to play/when/where. Nice and thumpy that's how I like it man
sounds good. haha. robert is my favprite singer and member of led zeppelin. not just his singing but the way he phrases things. its just sooo good. aahh it just baffles me to imagin some one better. but sure lots of people can hit higher notes than him.
dude robert plant has one of the greatest voices of all time. and how are you gonna compare this to the future of zeppelin and even other bands. This was a jam pf the top of there heads. noboody else can do that, that well
I consider myself somewhat of a LED ZEPPELIN afficianado. In my opinion they are the GREATEST musicians ever assembled. This is just one of a thousand LZ bootlegs out there, however, this song, FOR YOUR LOVE, is pretty rare to hear on any format, Especially bootleg on YOU TUBE.
I have this bootleg, and it's one of my most prized possessions in my music collection of over 25,000 songs and 170.56 GB. I think my favorite song off of this show is "Killing Floor". It's incredible how long Zep plays songs before they put them on a record. The audience must have shit their pants when they saw such a powerful band in a venue that could hold less than a thousand people.
I have just about every bootleg ever made of Zeppelin, and some I have 3 to 6 versions of. Soundboard, audience, different quality, etc. Can't get enough, always hunting for new 'legs if 'em. Nothin' like live Zeppelin. LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹
every artist stands on there influences that came before them! from music to photography. we are all influenced by the times and surroundings you grow up into.
i just love that Jimmy was disgustingly shreddable at this stage of his career, he was mature when he met the yardbirds, was a guru for zeppelin, for fucks sake he was ready to hit the stage at 15
@KSitz77: Eric Clapton was still with the Yardbirds when For Your Love was recorded. He quit in a huff almost immediately afterwards since it wasn't blues. OK, it was about a day and a huff - after Jimmy Page turned the gig down and recommended Jeff Beck. It was a win-win for both the Yardbirds and Clapton as it turned out.
this early bootleg stuff 68-69 when page had the tele is outstanding...fuzz sounds are incredible with a thin strat or tele...the boogie grooves they get into are sweet and one of a kind...raw and as a potent as a scorpions tail
Very, very sweet raw version of a true Yardbirds classic. I had never heard this before - thank you for posting, bootpoison! Not the most polished live performance by Zeppelin, no doubt - however, this was of course very early-era Zepp, and their sound was still coming into its own (during the first year or so, Jimmy Page & Peter Grant weren't sure that Robert would be with the group long-term, until they finally agreed that old 'Percy' would improve with time, which he did :) ZEPP RULES.....
The sound is not very good but the guitar player is quite innovative and creative. The drummer is also very interesting and the two seem to work especially well together. The solo guitar is really very creative and technically most proficient. Very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing this.
In the same vein about Keith Relf (usually) being slagged off on YT when performing "Dazed and Confused" on the Bouton Rouge French TV show!... Indeed, Robert was more in his element with "Dazed"... but so was Keith with "For Your Love"!... ;-)
Great musicians are not afraid to experiment and take chances** - THANKS bootpoison!!! ** sure beats the digital cut-n-paste phony perfectionism of today's music, but, then again, what do you EXPECT from "musicians" who've never tuned an instrument by ear?
We missed the introduction to the song, where Robert Plant made the mistake of mentioning his predecessor Keith Relf: "Anyone here remember Keith?" The crowd went crazy, probably garnering the biggest applause of the night! Poor Plant had to calm them down: "okay, okay, that's fair enough!" Apparently, Plant was about as popular a replacement as when Sammy Hagar replaced David Lee Roth! At least early on---I guess it took some time to get to know him!
@renyTmaiL I tend to agree with your comments about Jimmy. I always thought he sounded a bit sloppy live. But this issue was also recently discussed in an Ace Frehley youtube vid. So what if Jimmy Page or Ace Frehley sound a little sloppy here or there. They are Jimmy and Ace fer christsakes-lol
People who feel irresistible urge to constantly compare shit on UA-cam and proclaim 'that better than this' miss the whole point. Zep's version is a completely different interpretation from the Humble Pie's and both are excellent in their own way...and the tune was written by Graham Gouldman, who would go on to form 10cc, but this song was not written by 10cc. Thanks for playing, please try again...
+Duke Feist Yes, the Yardbirds recorded this first (much to Eric Clapton's dismay). I've never heard the Herman's Hermits version...I'll have to seek that out..
those words arranged in such away, to be refering to robert plant, just blew my mind that you could type such blaspheme of the greatest front man ever, is outrageous.
NEKONEKO9 If you like Plant's 'UniqueVocals' please check Small Faces out.I think you might like this band Songs like: You Need Loving Tin Soldier Song of A Baker Rollin' Over Talk To You Wath'cha Gonna Do About It This is a GREAT 60's Mod band with a fantastic singer(Steve Marriott-Robert was a big fan) oh and Steve's another band Humble Pie did a cover of this song too- very cool acoustic soulful jam (it reminds me of Babe I'm gonna leave You) it's also on UA-cam -a beat club video from 1970
la voz se nota distinta se ve que esta grabación fue echa antes de su operación en la garganta, porque el cambio de voz antes y después de la operacion fue notable
Like the approach here, too bad a studio recording wasn't circulating! Nobody could use a fill to prompt a solo quite like Bonham...... Listen to Plant roar!
Robert Plant's Voice is just..... It's Just Fucking Nice man. This is the sound that just made LZ what they are today.This song reminds me of How Many More Times when he says Ill give you diamond rings etc etc. Good song this version is just badass. Groove on it bitches
at 3:42 is anyone else reminded of a black keys song? I cannot for the life of me remember what song it reminds me of but I swear that they play that part in one of their songs.
Man, I totally agree about Humble Pie's version and also about Stevie Marriott. :-) An unusual acoustic version - for Led Zeppelin fans - to encourage you to check it out I'll only mention that it's sort of "Babe I'm Gonna leave you"-like. :-)
they played here too?! sick. '69 ey? this is bout the time The Doors released their like 2nd album or something. but tht's cool. never knew they played here too. and i read that led zeppelin also started out at a bar called rock n roll something i believe
clapton was the first guitarist. then yeah they had a pop sound and clapton was (and still is) stuck in the buddy guy blues, so they tried to get jimmy page. page turned them down and recommended jeff beck. later on though page joined and beck quit and then the yardbirds broke up. jimmy page formed the 'new yardbirds' which is the 'led zeppelin' you're all used to. this recording was when they were the 'new yardbirds', though.
@caesarcerf To be fair, they took their "borrowings" to dizzying new heights, that would have not been reached otherwise. Jimi Hendrix borrows a few Albert Collins licks in "Drivin' South", Beethoven quotes a village band in his 6th symphony, & so forth.
Raw early zeppelin sound is a little boxy but good . those early. San Francisco concerts are the foundation of hard rock . listen to them all. Each night and performance are excellent and different
Stealing? Anyone who says that is ignorant of rock history and Led Zeppelin and Yardbirds history particularly. Zeppelin gradually evolved from the Yardbirds as members quit leaving Pagey with the moniker Yardbirds and unprofitable contractual obligations to perform which they did as the New Yardbirds (briefly) before opting for Led Zeppelin as their name. Jimmy would have performed this 100s of times with the Yardbirds. In late 68 and early 69 audiences would have expected Yardbirds material.
@KSitz77 Of course Zeppelin played Yardbirds numbers! The first tour they did was under contract as the Yardbirds (billed as The New Yardbirds), so that's what they started out with. They had to play some Yardbirds numbers in the first tour, so they threw them in as covers later.
Jim Morrison was in the audience. He wrote about it in one of his many journals. I don't remember exactly what he wrote, but it was how Zeppelin were taking music in a completely different direction.
Underrated comment. Holy shitbiscuits. good times
Thanks for sharing I vaguely remember reading that when I was younger
-Page with the Telecaster tone🔥
-Plants voice before any issues started.
-JPJ & Bonzo both always SOLID from 1968 - 1980
This is early Zeppelin. Flaming hot Telecaster tone, raw, unchained, unhindered vocals, massive drums, ultraheavy bass. Incredible.
I was at this show at the Whiskey. Page had reformed the Yardbirds and they were billed as the "New" Yardbirds. No one knew who these other 3 guys were on stage with him. But when they started to play, every jaw in the place hung open for 2 hours. They only had 3 or 4 new songs and everything else were Yardbird standards.

good memory!
Steven Radiloff thank u for sharing this if u got anything else would u share it please?
You're Happy. You saw it from eggs.
Steven Radiloff man you witnessedhistory being made guy awesome!
judging by "For your love" the Yardbird numbers they did must have been earth shattering.
Zeppelin and Hendrix changed music forever.
Played this way, For Your Love sounds A LOT like the unreleased Hendrix tune Somewhere.
Mighty BonZo comes off kinda like m8tch Mitchell on illegal Chinese communist ster0ids here lol
I always found the differences in the power dynamics of their individual playing styles extremely amusing
The experience was so different from the mighty zep ........
haven't heard it before, thanks for uploading.

I think that Humble Pie's take on this song is also worth mentioning - even slower more soulful, acoustic version. They have cool video to this song , it's on YT.
I would love to talk to someone who was at the whiskey a go go when zep was there!!! my God that's the experience of a lifetime
I remember that night. Gosh seeing Robert and Jimmy brings backs so many memories. Great stuff.
Peace

Pure power in your face! A to Z.

I'm getting martial art glassblowing flashbacks. I had bootlegs on Red Phantom Label out of Italy.
Young Led Zeppelin. So cool and sweet.
That drumming... that wailing.... it's like like listening to Led Zeppelin while they were still in the womb...

Nice! I love the wah on the intro guitar and the solo vintage guitar. The drummer is amazing with those combos....nice!
OH my F-ing God.
I'd give my left arm to have been at that show.
i just love that Jimmy was disgustingly shreddable at this stage of his career, he was mature when he met the yardbirds, was a guru for zeppelin, for fucks sake he was ready to hit the stage at 15

folks check also Humble Pie's version, a cool acoustic jam with superb vocals.
If I were a record agent, I'd sign this band on the spot.
this early bootleg stuff 68-69 when page had the tele is outstanding...fuzz sounds are incredible with a thin strat or tele...the boogie grooves they get into are sweet and one of a kind...raw and as a potent as a scorpions tail
Good point -- and the Yardbirds didn't write it. This super heavy, bluesy treatment is quite original. Thanks for the upload!
Did they credit Gouldman ?
@@ewantaylor5626 This never appeared on any Zeppelin album, so I don't know.
@@ewantaylor5626 Graham Gouldman later of 10cc wrote it

Gotta love John Henry.... Only Bonham could lay down a groove like that and change the dynamics of the song so dramatically... A true drumming God
ctemt5208 only Bonham

one of the greatest solos in my mind
this is amazing
Thanks tons! Anything Zepp does is just awesome, nothing more need be said!
19-20 y/o Robert Plant, Zep can't be matched for intensity and mesmerizing musical chemistry. IMHO, none tighter.
We missed the introduction to the song, where Robert Plant made the mistake of mentioning his predecessor Keith Relf: "Anyone here remember Keith?"

Daaaamn, hear how long RP held that note at the end? non smoker? That must have been their smallest crowd ever, haha
actron He lost the note at 14 seconds, but that's a long time.
kathy 2trips He didn't lose it, he did that sigh at the end of that scream a lot, definitely intentional
Oh, heh, thanks for clearing that up.!
I am certain that they can play anything !!!
And this is the reason i love telecasters.
JIMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
interesting..
i'm a fan.. and recognize that nobody is perfect
How can you complain of quality? Its a freakin' bootleg...
Awesome!
thank f^ck some had the foresight to take a recorder in with them by the standards of some ive heard this ain't bad
This is rank! Makes me think when we play live we are as good as Led Zep! :)
friggin awesome. evereyone who thinks zeppelin is the greatest band ever say I.
@renyTmaiL I tend to agree with your comments about Jimmy. I always thought he sounded a bit sloppy live. But this issue was also recently discussed in an Ace Frehley youtube vid. So what if Jimmy Page or Ace Frehley sound a little sloppy here or there. They are Jimmy and Ace fer christsakes-lol

my god i would love to have been there
i love playing this riff
and the heavens opened
god damn! listen to bonzo in this song! its crazy!

Songs like:
You Need Loving

This is a GREAT 60's Mod band with a fantastic singer(Steve Marriott-Robert was a big fan)
oh and Steve's another band Humble Pie did a cover of this song too- very cool acoustic soulful jam (it reminds me of Babe I'm gonna leave You) it's also on UA-cam -a beat club video from 1970
How cool. What a version. Can you say "Heavy?" :-)
well hell yeah!!
@rockdad3 i wouldnt say this is an off night, i love this song
This sounds great Bonzos kickdrum is brutal on this recording LOL😂
I have the whole bootleg. It's pretty good.
@jabartone THIS IS ZEP...and Plant....most definately...
Bonzo was unmatched.
The way Page honestly reminds me of Jimi Hendrix at times. Such an amazing guy.
Another off night for the Zep, there were many of them. I saw one at the LA Forum in 1974 I think it was.
Hey folks, nobody's perfect! lol
la voz se nota distinta se ve que esta grabación fue echa antes de su operación en la garganta, porque el cambio de voz antes y después de la operacion fue notable
Pos si.
plus this version is way better
Like the approach here, too bad a studio recording wasn't circulating! Nobody could use a fill to prompt a solo quite like Bonham...... Listen to Plant roar!
Jeff Carlson Bonham is LZ
It is NOT stealing, it is borrowing! Music is a liner, intangible art form! Children!!! TOM MORONEY BOSTON

at 3:42 is anyone else reminded of a black keys song? I cannot for the life of me remember what song it reminds me of but I swear that they play that part in one of their songs.
i think the notes are freaking the exact same notes literally.
I think you’re thinking of Ten Cent Pistol by the Black Keys. He does an octave riff in the solo or something similar to what Jimmy is playing here.
this song reminds me a bit of heartbreaker at 1:17
Historical. Thanks
This Led Zep interpretation, which I really like, of the yardbirds smash hit "For you Love" makes me think a little of Cream.
@llZosoll the trading and selling of hendrix recording and sudio sessions were going on from when he first stepped foot in bbc.
That was Three Dog Night's version of The Band's "Chest Fever" playing over the sound system there at the very end!
ahhh cool ... you were there in miami when they played in feb 69? ... me too! ... and yes ... they totally blew us away ... they were freakin awesome!
Everyone grows, Beatles - Cavern .
Man, I totally agree about Humble Pie's version and also about Stevie Marriott. :-)
An unusual acoustic version - for Led Zeppelin fans - to encourage you to check it out I'll only mention that it's sort of "Babe I'm Gonna leave you"-like. :-)
long live THEE LED ZEPPELIN
for thou shall not live with out ;)
im speachless. all i can say is.... WOW
@beckcom64 It's called "Chest Fever" and the original artist is The Band, it's from the album "Music From Big Pink" (1968) watch?v=W4Z2o4tXESs
Wicked twist on this old fave!
And that's the Yardbirds DNA in Led Zeppelin. That's all the musical genetics for today. Class dismissed!
invite me to more of your classes!
This is the absolute bombdiggidy!!
Love it; like it.
Amazing.

hell yeah
I just realized something.... Led Zeppelin released "For Your Life" in 1976 with Presence. :P
the main riff is so fun to play its a bit like the purple haze rythym chords but with the addition of the DAH DAH DAH. DAH DAH DAH.
indeed thx!
amazing....
Raw early zeppelin sound is a little boxy but good . those early. San Francisco concerts are the foundation of hard rock . listen to them all. Each night and performance are excellent and different
or any over there other songs for that matter! all of zeppelin I and II is blues... striaght blues.
