Man is it just me or was John Henry Bonham the ultimate badass drummer in the world. He looked and always played so badassly in the late 70's with his sunglasses, full grown beard and long hair. Came up with the most amazing drum fills ever like on Song remains the same, The Rover, Sick again, Nobody's fault, In my time of dying and so many many more.
Bonzo's stainless steel drums are awesome ! It seems as if ever drum outfit Bonham had is referenced & remembered by people/fans/drummers - the thermogloss set, the green sparkle, the amber Vistalites, the stainless steel !!! He was something else indeed ! William F. Ludwig II or III stated that John Bonham was one of the most professional drummers they ever serviced - he ordered his Ludwig drum outfits well in advance, as to not put too much pressure on Ludwig, etc...
Later on during "Sick Again" at the 4:41 mark - all the members turn around to watch him do that fast single stroke fill all the way around the drums & Page gets so excited during it - at many shows & he starts jumping up and down - watch the drum fill, listen & watch Page !!! He repeated that 4:41 drum fill at all the shows on that tour that I've heard, but they always turn around to watch him do it !!! He was an incredibly talented drummer that was taken away from all of us, way too soon ! Long Live John Henry Bonham ! He will never be forgotten !
@@kenglass7833 that's not something you'd normally see, a band turning around to admire another member, esp. a drummer. We'll never see anything like it again.
@@bishlap They were a real gift to those of us who are fans. I will never forget that fateful September day in 1980, for me it was the day the music died.
@@kenglass7833 I (WE?) were lucky enough to see zep live and grow up w/ them in the 60's 70's. I feel sorry for today's kids that get fed a bunch of shit non stop on radio and the internet.
@@bishlap Love it when I'm out and about and see a 16 year old kid carrying his guitar to jam with buddies and he has a zoso tattoo on his leg. It reminds me that even as we have lost the band their top quality body of work will allow them to live for all eternity!!
Amazing energy. Just never felt anything like it - except (don't kill me LOL) at a BTS concert LOL But still, Zeppelin remains the most fantastic concert I've ever seen!
I've worked over 5,000 shows and this was an awesome one (one of the best)...maybe because it was my "first". As a concert producer today I can honestly say it was A+. Anyone who feels different just wasn't there. As for Harley's comment that 38 Special opened - no one opened HOWEVER 38 Special did open up 3 weeks later in the same venue - LSU Assembly Center (and they blew Bad Company away). This show didn't loose the spirit - quite the contrary. In 1975 they simply rocked out hard. On this 1977 tour they played for 3 hours and that INCLUDED AN ACOUSTIC SET. Some people might think acousic unplugged sets "loose the spirit" but for those of us who love Battle of Evermore, Goin' To California, Black Country Woman, Bon-Y-Aur Stomp, White Summer/Black Mountain Side.......that's where I "really" learned what Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones were all about.
I'm glad to hear your very positive review from a first person perspective. Led Zep didn't have a great night every night on their '77 tour for various reasons.
I was there both times they played in Baton Rouge, and both shows were awesome. This amateurish 8 mm video obviously doesn't do them justice and makes me wonder why Led Zeppelin would even post it. They should seize and release the "Rampaging Cajun" (Empress Valley) bootleg of the Baton Rouge show on February 28, 1975. It is available in FLAC format on torrent sites and is the best bootleg recording of a Led Zeppelin performance I've ever heard.
I was at this show and I was 17 years old. Since it was general admission/festival seating, we got there early in the day so we could be the first in line. This was the LSU Assembly Center - they had tons of great bands there during this time. At the entrance where we were at the front of the line, there were about 8 glass doors. Of course they opened only one door and the crowd immediately crushed us all against the doors that were closed. I thought I was about to get pushed through a glass door. A security guard started pulling my arm and somehow I squeezed into the open door. It was pure mayhem and absolutely a blast. To this day, I swear this was the loudest concert I've ever experienced. My ears rang for several days afterward. After the show we ran down to where the vehicles came in and out and we got to see them in their limo leaving. What a day!
I was at this show myself. I also saw Alice Cooper's "Welcome to My Nightmare" show at this venue. The greatest place for rock shows was The Warehouse in New Orleans. Every band you can think of played that place at one time or another.

The drum fill that John Bonham does at the 4:12 to the 4:15 mark - is fricking unreal !!! Listen to it ! Pause it & re-listen several times, just listen & watch Bonham only for those 3 seconds ! I, speaking as a drummer say that fill is insanely awesome - the ruff he does on the set between those open fills is awesome as well ! The finesse, power, speed & accuracy are just unbelievable ! It looks like many times, during Zeppelin shows - Plant, Page & Jones are watching Bonham - off and on - just to see what he's going to come up with next !!! I know they all watched each other, bc that's what all musicians do some times during live show, but I think the other members liked to see what Bonham was going to pull off next ! Unbelievable stuff !
Thanks for sharing and WOW- what a blast from the past. I was 16 and this was my first concert. It was VERY sold out and my old man forbid me to pay more than the $7.50 face value for a ticket. The only reason I even got to attend was the two month delay. My old man saw that I was so desperate to get a ticket that he talked one of his Barber Bros. co-workers into selling his girlfriend's ticket for $25! In the end, he got "scalped" and I got to go to my 1st concert. And yes, Led Zep is my favorite band of all time.
I was at this show. I lived in the far west suburbs of New Orleans at the time. I also saw The Who and Alice Coopers "Welcome to My Nightmare" show at this same venue. I also lived in the French Quarter in 1974 to 1976, and I used to see Jimmy Page and Robert Plant hanging out at the Royal Orleans hotel bar from time to time.
I was there. In the middle of the show, John Bonham did a drum solo that lasted almost 10 minutes. If your mind wasn't already blown before he started the solo, it certainly was by the time he finished.
Was there at 17 years young. They were late, caught in their own traffic from NOLA fans coming up I-10 the same way. One Hour and 45 minutes later though, it was on Bro...and the lasers on the ceiling I had forgotten about almost.. Also had my Superdome ticket, but sadly that was never to be. Bless lil Karac's memory. All of our love, to Him now'.
Took a chance to see if footage from this concert existed and it does! I was at this concert and was 18 years old. The best time of my life! Those were the days 😎
1977 St. Louis, Missouri. I was 17 and in awe of my heroes. Fast forward to 2020 and this lifelong musician's cover band is loving life playing festivals and wineries with a set list that includes 'Stairway' (yes really) and 'Good Times Bad Times'. Stairway started as a bet. The crowd reaction was so amazing we've kept it on the list! 'Free Bird' too! LOL. Truth.
I saw the Zep in 1977 at msg in new York they were great three and a half hours they never took a break I always remember that tonly concert I remember anyway well whatever I'll never forget it
Es obvio decir que Led Zeppelin es la más grandiosa y mejor banda, no solamente de Hard Rock, también de BluesRock, CountryRock, SinphonycRock .... Es que han tocado casi todos los palos a su manera, y todo lo han hecho mejor que mejor. La MEJOR BANDA DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS... FOREVER AND EVER .
I wasn't born until 78, but they re-main my favorite band. Listen to the albums folks. I have everything they have released. Check the BBC sessions. Thanks for the vid!
THANKS A MILLION for posting this treasure!!! I'm 49 and never got to see these guys, however I've talked to a few people over the years who have and I recall a few times how in in their '77 tour they would open up with The Song Remains the Same right into The Rover. And WOW, there it is. I will watch this over and over and share it on FB,
I love the Charlie Brown improvisation in No Quarter. John Paul Jones sure is musical genius who could come up so many cool ideas to throw into a live song.
Those were the days when you could bring a camera into concerts, I got pics of Zep at the Kezar stadium in San Fransico 1973 and across the bay in Oakland, Day on the Green. RIP John Bonham. Thanks for the video, the good ole days. Ken
I WAS THERE! My first concert ever! Got in line at 11:00 am and the doors didn't open until 6:00pm supposed to start at 8:00pm , Didn't start until 10:00 pm . We didn't care!
Nice to see Bonzo completely going for it as thee rock drummer , on United States tour, as person experiencing--sowing thier oats in .. The 1970's . Would only be 10 in ' 77, playing a little league game on a summer's night .
My wife and I were there. First band I saw with a lazer light show. Baton Rouge used to have a lot of great bands come through. Some of the ones I've seen here Led Zeppelin, Leon Russell, ZZ Top, The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Jimmy Hendrix, Three Dog Night, Linda Ronstadt, Johnny Winters, Elvin Bishop, The Greatfull Dead, Black Oak Arkansas, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne and more I can't remember. Don't know why they quit coming to B.R.?
I saw that same tour in New Orleans, I was 21, my future wife was 15 & 1/2! Still married, will be our 45 Ann. this coming may. But this was the best concert I ever saw. Been to over 30, Styx, Yes, ELO, Clampton, Montrose, Black Oak Arkansas, Bob Seager, Peter Frampton, Kiss, ZZ Top & my first concert was Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sept. 19 1974, Nichols State in Thibodeaux, LA. Wow, what a way to begin my R&R concert adventure.
@@rougarou722 This was in 1977, I had tickets for the one you are talking about too, around 1980? got our money back. The one we saw was @ the Municipal Auditorium. No back up band.
I attended the’77 show at the LSU assembly center, it was a month after I saw Pink Floyd at the same venue.I remember getting a rain check ticket back then and I guess that’s the one in the dome. I’m confusing the two. Thanks for the info.
+MICHAEL Delude I have a copy of that show LED ZEPPELIN TAMPA,FL:TAMPA STADIUM 6/3/77 01. -intro- 02. The Song Remains The Same 03. Sick Again 04. Nobody's Fault But Mine The tape abruptly cuts off after the last song, no riot or
+midmom17 Yeah they definitely were always fair and would have been if his son hadn't have unfortunately passed, sure when Jimmy was sick at a concert during that tour they did another concert for the people who only saw a half concert as a result of Jimmy not being able to play on
One of the best 8mm's of Zep I've ever seen - maybe the best? Going to the trouble of catching their jet landing, and the boys getting off was extremely cool - which one was Peter Grant? Hmmmmm ... I wonder?
Brilliant clips, unfortunately we'll never get the 70's back. Maybe it's just me, but i prefer watching the old crappy film rather than the way everything is perfect nowadays with blu ray etc.
Oh, 8mm film! I myself have done the same thing of taking a few seconds of frames and stopping, because the film (and I bet this person was using a 50 foot reel) was so precious! This footage is great just because it exists. Now, if Jimmy Page released the footage taken from the video screen at Pontiac, Michigan, I’d really be happy.
@Base Ball My ears are wide open...this obviously wasn't professionally and allowed to be filmed, and for someone to sneak in a 200 foot reeled 8mm camera, for a lousy 8 minutes on each side, then do the awkward spooling in the dark, that is difficult to believe that this is a full concert shot, broken up choppy on purpose.
Base Ball Yes, MY WHOLE POINT, as in the start of this thread is that 8mm filming was very limited and me, back in the day, as well as those shooting these scenes, know the limitations of it, especially compared to a professional videotaping of it...COME ON. No one here is talking about soundboard recording or bootleg audio.
@@pajasa62 That's exactly right, this is 8mm film there is no way this can be filmed at even an attempt at a complete concert. 50 foot reels lasted like 3 minutes !
Led Zeppelin sounds great, looks great & great film footage !!! Some people claim that Zep played terrible on their 1977 US Tour - I have to agree with Trey Merrill - they did not !!! Some of their most epic shows were on this tour. A missed note here & there - a missed beat, etc...does not discount an entire show. I've heard pretty much all the bootlegs from this tour & are aware of the few cancelled show, etc...but I haven't heard a bad show from this tour yet !
I've seen most of it Danuel - I didn't think it was that bad at all. Again, I can't grab a few mistakes in song - here & there & apply it to the whole show.
Led Zeppelin was a band that will never be matched!
They had so much feeling ,groove , their will never be another band like this in our lifetime
I was at this show. It really brings back memories. It was a great show too. I was lucky enough to see Zep three times in my life.
I was there in Baton Rouge great memories
You're so lucky! Godblessyougirl!
Lucky lady
I was there also. Thought that they kinda sucked.
@@davemojarra2666 Looks like you are quite the minority on that one.
Led Zeppelin- - The best band , the best band there ever will be.
The greatest band of all time
Every time I watch them live on RUclips, it makes me wish I could ever go back in time
just to see them live
Led zeppelin was a real phenomenon
Long Live The Mighty Led Zeppelin. Love the 1960'/1970's music.
I was 13 when I attended this concert. Truly a life changing event.
Man is it just me or was John Henry Bonham the ultimate badass drummer in the world. He looked and always played so badassly in the late 70's with his sunglasses, full grown beard and long hair.

despite the chopped up video you can feel what a sick show this was....
Bonzo with the metallic Luddies!
Yeah!!
Jimmy...love the way he struts around with the double neck.
Love it!
Bonzo's stainless steel drums are awesome !

How awesome it must have been to actually have been there in all that energy and music and crowds and and majik . . . .
Amazing energy. Just never felt anything like it - except (don't kill me LOL) at a BTS concert LOL But still, Zeppelin remains the most fantastic concert I've ever seen!

Was there at 17 years young. They were late, caught in their own traffic from NOLA fans coming up I-10 the same way. One Hour and 45 minutes later though, it was on Bro...and the lasers on the ceiling I had forgotten about almost..
Also had my Superdome ticket, but sadly that was never to be. Bless lil Karac's memory. All of our love, to Him now'.
You are so lucky!!
I know - until I saw this video I'd totally forgotten those laser lights & the fact they were late!
Lol good ole Baton Rouge traffic...if you’re from the area then you know😂
Patrick Pearson I had a ticket to the Superdome concert also and of course, that show never happened 😭. My one and only chance to see them ever.
I was on my way as well. The tradigy of Karac’s passing still effects me. As l have sons now
I was at that show. Saw them three times.
I hate you.

13:36 Look at Jimmy skooting across the stage, thats freakin' awesome!
1977..when led zeppelin were the biggest rock stars on planet earth and these concerts were riots
I was at the infamous Tampa show, riot for real.
My fave band forevermore❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Attended this show as well was so excited (and high) l had to see the movie to remember what actually happened!!!

holy shit that light show
Jimmy Page looks full of energy and enthusiasm. He was only on Heroin for a year at that point or 2 max. Amazing stuff 1970s LZ.
Its time this full show was released it Rocks !
led zeppelin rocks!
Pontiac Silverdome. April 30, 1977. From what I recall they were late to the show but it ROCKED!!!
Led Zeppelin must be like the least filmed world famous rock band ever.
This priceless footage really needs to be cleaned up and remastered.
There is a full length motion picture of a concert of The Song Remains the Same.
As far as I remember they didn’t want to be filmed
When giants walked the earth.
That opening guitar slide riff to In my time of dying sounds so haunting that it'll send chills down my spine.
Magical ✌
I remember hearing the boot from this show
No Quarter was just incredible interplay
Love watching Bonzo BASH THE SHIT OUT THOSE CYMBALS!!! Jimmy really tunes/tuned into Bonham live to keep time and blow our eardrums out.
I was there! Great show!!
Thank you for sharing......this was indeed truly special.
how bonzo didnt crack any cymbals and break any drum heads during a show is beyond me haha
Long live 8mm! Great!
Best $16 I ever spent was on the ticket to catch this tour in Chicago. Thanks boys!
Saw them that same year in Birmingham this brings back some great memories
thank god for the interweb
4:36 to 4:52 great clip of John Bonham. I could watch that guy play all day long.
He was the Hammer of the Gods.
In 1977 ZEP ruled America. No one thought it will be their last stand.
Sure wish there was a full audio recording of this show and their first appearance at the Municipal Auditorium in 1971.
Like finding gold
I was there, thanks for posting this one, what a memory!
Very cool to see, I saw them the following month, June 77' at the Forum in LA, thanks for posting!
I was there that Night, and no, 38 Special wasnt the opening act, Zep never had a "Opening Act" for years...
I was there!
I'm pretty sure that was the loudest concert I ever saw.
they were loud, but Deep Purple @ Radio City w/ Tommy Bolin was my loudest.
I agree. To this day it’s the loudest concert I’ve ever seen without a doubt. My ears rang for several days.
4:05 What an intro to The Rover, sounds and looks bad ass!
Nice to see Bonzo completely going for it as thee rock drummer , on United States tour, as person experiencing--sowing thier oats in ..
The 1970's .
Would only be 10
in ' 77, playing a little league game on a summer's night .
There's an unearthly power about Zeppelin you can't tangibly identify tha t i don't feel from other bands and that made them monstrously good.
The Tampa Show was to be a 3 hour concert, but if you were there, well you know what happened. great memory.
MICHAEL Delude rain
CavaillonWTF I know. i was there.
CavaillonWTF i was 22 then. 62 Now.
MICHAEL Delude. i have 25
the best band ever were!!!
LED ZEPPELIN THE GOAT
NUFF SED!!!
My wife and I were there. First band I saw with a lazer light show. Baton Rouge used to have a lot of great bands come through. Some of the ones I've seen here Led Zeppelin, Leon Russell, ZZ Top, The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Jimmy Hendrix, Three Dog Night, Linda Ronstadt, Johnny Winters, Elvin Bishop, The Greatfull Dead, Black Oak Arkansas, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne and more I can't remember. Don't know why they quit coming to B.R.?
I was at this show myself. The Warehouse in New Orleans was one of the great places to see a rock show. I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd there in 1976.
Man, Bonham still cooks!
Awesome rare footage. Thanks!
Lucky to have them in my High school years
This footage does not do them justice
I saw that same tour in New Orleans, I was 21, my future wife was 15 & 1/2! Still married, will be our 45 Ann. this coming may. But this was the best concert I ever saw. Been to over 30, Styx, Yes, ELO, Clampton, Montrose, Black Oak Arkansas, Bob Seager, Peter Frampton, Kiss, ZZ Top & my first concert was Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sept. 19 1974, Nichols State in Thibodeaux, LA. Wow, what a way to begin my R&R concert adventure.
But, the New Orleans show was canceled, due to the death of Plant’s son. I’m confused.
@@rougarou722 This was in 1977, I had tickets for the one you are talking about too, around 1980? got our money back. The one we saw was @ the Municipal Auditorium. No back up band.
I attended the’77 show at the LSU assembly center, it was a month after I saw Pink Floyd at the same venue.I remember getting a rain check ticket back then and I guess that’s the one in the dome. I’m confusing the two. Thanks for the info.
@@rougarou722 No problem brother, Happy Easter to us old dudes.
Happy Easter , brother! Are you a Lafourche or a Terrebonne Guidry?
I heard that this is one of the few times on this tour that Page ate, couldn’t resist the Cajun food.
🔥🔥🔥
amazing !!!
They look very spirited in these clips. Wish the actual audio for this gig was available. This audio is from other gigs.
Oh l was at that show as well the day after l graduated high school.
@@billybest5497 Amazing!!
---the mightiest of the mighty.
...and I was there!!! Not their best show but fun none the less.
Thanks for posting. I was at the April 23'rd show in Atlanta that same tour. It was my first concert ever.
June 3rd 1977. Friday night. It's been 39 year's ago when Led Zeppelin fan's gathered around the Stadium only to be Rained Out.
bad
I seen the Zeppelin show in Tampa Florida in June 3rd 1977. A 15 minute show. 70'000 strong. only to be rained out. no shit.

01. -intro-
02. The Song Remains The Same
03. Sick Again
04. Nobody's Fault But Mine
The tape abruptly cuts off after the last song, no riot or
There would have been, but Plant's son died shortly after this. Zeppelin never dicked their fans around; one thing they were steadfast about.
+midmom17 Yeah they definitely were always fair and would have been if his son hadn't have unfortunately passed, sure when Jimmy was sick at a concert during that tour they did another concert for the people who only saw a half concert as a result of Jimmy not being able to play on
One of the best 8mm's of Zep I've ever seen - maybe the best? Going to the trouble of catching their jet landing, and the boys getting off was extremely cool - which one was Peter Grant? Hmmmmm ... I wonder?
He was the one they offloaded with the forklift stolen from baggage claim
@Ryan they did not mail it in on this night, that's what this 8mm film shows.
Brilliant clips, unfortunately we'll never get the 70's back. Maybe it's just me, but i prefer watching the old crappy film rather than the way everything is perfect nowadays with blu ray etc.
Oh, 8mm film! I myself have done the same thing of taking a few seconds of frames and stopping, because the film (and I bet this person was using a 50 foot reel) was so precious! This footage is great just because it exists. Now, if Jimmy Page released the footage taken from the video screen at Pontiac, Michigan, I’d really be happy.
@Base Ball
My ears are wide open...this obviously wasn't professionally and allowed to be filmed, and for someone to sneak in a 200 foot reeled 8mm camera, for a lousy 8 minutes on each side, then do the awkward spooling in the dark, that is difficult to believe that this is a full concert shot, broken up choppy on purpose.
Base Ball
Yes, MY WHOLE POINT, as in the start of this thread is that 8mm filming was very limited and me, back in the day, as well as those shooting these scenes, know the limitations of it, especially compared to a professional videotaping of it...COME ON. No one here is talking about soundboard recording or bootleg audio.
@@pajasa62
That's exactly right, this is 8mm film there is no way this can be filmed at even an attempt at a complete concert. 50 foot reels lasted like 3 minutes !
wow there is enough Bootleg Video from all youtube for Jimmy Page to re-package with added HD audio into a new Concert DVD wow!
best band of all times ...imo jimmy invented modern hard rock guitar
Led Zeppelin sounds great, looks great & great film footage !!! Some people claim that Zep played terrible on their 1977 US Tour - I have to agree with Trey Merrill - they did not !!! Some of their most epic shows were on this tour. A missed note here & there - a missed beat, etc...does not discount an entire show. I've heard pretty much all the bootlegs from this tour & are aware of the few cancelled show, etc...but I haven't heard a bad show from this tour yet !
I've seen most of it Danuel - I didn't think it was that bad at all. Again, I can't grab a few mistakes in song - here & there & apply it to the whole show.
wonderful!
thanks for posting!!!
Yeah... Zep in the South!
